  1. Re:Those evil enemy oppressors on Google, Apple, and Others Remove Content Related To the Confederate Flag · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely hopeless. You should step back and breathe and figure out why this flag, which surged in popularity during the civil rights era, and flown by proponents of said movement, is considered racist by many people. You saying it's just Lynyrd Skynyrd and "the South" and so on is either purposefully misrepresenting the matter, or indicative of your profound ignorance. Neither is helping you look particularly rational.

    Lots of assertions, so few citations. Better luck next time.

  3. Re:Shades of Methuselah's Children on NHS To Give Volunteers "Synthetic Blood" Made In a Laboratory Within Two Years · · Score: 1

    A problem which affects all blood transfusions, so I guess we'd better shut it all down and just not bother.

  4. Re:Google is too wild . . . on The Next Java Update Could Make Yahoo Your Default Search Provider · · Score: 1

    It's an example of something completely different to what you were talking about. Bizarre. I think the only point you made is "I don't know how to use Google".

    No one claimed it was. It's just about as good as it gets, though, as the people who donate are definitely not donating for money.

  6. Re:What's their fear with that? on NVIDIA Begins Supplying Open-Source Register Header Files · · Score: 1

    They license a lot of technologies from other companies, and the conditions of those licenses usually specifically mention not being allowed to publish details of its operation, and especially not precise details. That alone means their hands are tied in this respect. It's the price we pay for the performance we get.

  7. Re:What's the score now? on NVIDIA Begins Supplying Open-Source Register Header Files · · Score: 1

    How many more OSs, and with what market share? You also didn't mention the many disadvantages, which if the numbers from the first question are too low, will make this a complete non-starter.

    Those are Akamai's findings - they might not be too representative.

  9. Re:BUT I have an "unlimited" connection! on Study: Major ISPs Slowing Traffic Across the US · · Score: 1

    You say that, but just look at the state of internet in countries which do have government-mandated access to the last mile infrastructure. They generally have far more competition, lower prices, and better speeds. You already have the LA rush-hour internet, and are arguing against fixing it.

  10. Re:Not a "crank" site on Judge Orders Dutch Government To Finally Take Action On Climate Promises · · Score: 1

    It is a crank site. It regularly features flat-out opinion pieces masquerading as legitimate science, and has a terrible track record of being entirely wrong on many positions. Of course if it tells you what you want to hear you'd overlook those obvious flaws...

  11. Re:More 'Climatedot' bullshit on Judge Orders Dutch Government To Finally Take Action On Climate Promises · · Score: 1

    You seem to be awfully proud of your ignorance. You are terribly confused about what those terms actually mean. Just a cursory glance over the most basic of materials would clear that up, so it appears you haven't even bothered learning.

    Why is this paranoid fantasy modded insightful? Weird.

  13. Re:Hardware or driver's issues? on Samsung Cripples Windows Update To Prevent Incompatible Drivers · · Score: 1

    That's because Intel didn't provide the correct drivers to Microsoft. Microsoft's drivers are usually the bare-minimum, and it's up to the actual hardware creators to provide their drivers. Blaming the owner of the channel not being used correctly of others doesn't exactly sound sane...

  14. Re:Hardware or driver's issues? on Samsung Cripples Windows Update To Prevent Incompatible Drivers · · Score: 1

    And most users would also say goodbye to their software. You get crap in the Apple world, too, but I guess some people just don't want to admit it...

  15. Re:The problem is broken updates on Samsung Cripples Windows Update To Prevent Incompatible Drivers · · Score: 2

    Then Samsung should make sure the drivers they supply to Microsoft work. Samsung holds the reins here. Microsoft can't help it if Samsung's drivers break stuff. If Samsung haven't provided their own drivers to be included in Windows Update, then that's their fault. If it is Microsoft's fault, why does this work flawlessly for all other manufacturers, and indeed Samsung until this incident?

    You might want to read up on how email works, then you'd know why such a suggestion is slightly far fetched.

    Once again you are so convinced you are right you launch into a tirade, inadvertently showing everyone you get easily confused and are not as informed as you assume you are. Oops.

    Yes, science can demonstrate you can feel moonlight, if there is anything to feel and a mechanism through which to feel. For science to demonstrate you can sense auras, you have to show auras exist, as no one has done that yet.

    Someone's off his meds again it seems. Let it go, APK. That was last week, and you're still all butthurt that obvious flaws in your software exist. Instead on working to fix them, you turn on the people who highlight them. I feel really sorry for you.

  21. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 2

    The studies show that people who claim electromagnetic sensitivity don't have it. Until that changes, there is absolutely no reason to assume they actually have a real, non-psychosomatic illness.

    So you're fine changing your business practices because someone with a well-demonstrated psychosomatic condition moves in next door and tells you to do so? Good to know.

    Those experiments have nothing to do with the energy levels we're discussing here. Experiments have been done which show that electrosensitivity to phone masts, power lines, mobile phones, microwave ovens, etc. simply does not exist.
