  1. Re:"mounting scrutiny of ties" on Trump Nominates Lawyer To Lead FBI (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Look, I think Trump has a chance to drive some good change for our country.

    What did he actually "drive"?

    There was an uptick in confidence among 50% of the population after the election. That helped something, sure, but:
    a) Will it last
    b) It wasn't due to anything Trump did.

    I want to know how King Stupid is 100% confident in that "two tenths of one degree" figure but 0% confident in all the others.

    Here's hoping...

    We know what will happen though, King Stupid will simply slap a double-tax on the rest of the world.

    Let him try it, I say. I'd love to see the next generation of Americans working in shoe factories for $1 a day while the rest of the world makes their own machinery.

    (America's biggest export right now is machinery).

    Trump is the new King Canute. He believes his words can command nature itself.

    Huh?

    What does the USA export, exactly? Even the USA buys most of its "stuff" from China.

    If you removed all CO2 from the atmosphere, the earth would have a stable temperature of about 3-deg Kelvin. It's the greenhouse effect from those trace amounts of CO2 that has kept us cozy and warm for the last few billion years.

    Did you get that nugget knowledge from another Trump supporter on the Internet?

    Clue: Mars isn't at 3 degrees Kelvin, not even fucking Pluto is at 3 degrees Kelvin.

    "President Trump promised on Wednesday to announce his decision at 3 p.m Thursday in the White House Rose Garden."

    Any guesses what Trump will announce?

    I'm guessing his supporters will cheer on his ignorance even though the only thing they get from it is watching their chosen bully beat up on all those commie intellectuals.

    It turned into spyware years ago and WinSCP is 3000% better.

    Why is it that every other headline is TRUMP DOES BAD THING instead of tech news headlines?

    Simple: Trump is fucking up so many things that ALL news is now about Trump, not just tech news.

    Yeah, letting people vote is always a bad idea. Democracy is for dummies.

    In... how many years, exactly?

  19. That may be but many still need to drive outside of the city or otherwise drive far beyond the current daily limits of electric vehicles.

    Rental?

  20. I have never been to a marina where they have a vehicle you can borrow to use to launch your boat. I can't see a marina lending their members a self driving vehicle capable of launching a boat.

    I'm beginning to see a pattern here: You're a person with no imagination whatsoever.

  21. Journalism is dead. It's pretty much now all speculation, opinion via "expert" talking heads, rumor-mongering, agenda-advancing, "awareness-raising", etc.

    No, I think he's right.

    The very first self-driving car will start a mass shift in transportation. As soon as people figure out they can sleep or use Facebook on the daily commute then most of driving will be dead. If that car is electric, then... adios internal combustion engine. Only petrol heads will own one.

    Petrol heads aren't safe either, electric cars can have massive torque and power.

  22. Most of those embedded devices probably can't be upgraded.

    This is why Microsoft should be taking more responsibility for them.
