    you can certainly scan the disk for deleted files and recover your data.

    ...says somebody who never actually tried it in real life.

    Let me come over to your house and delete your files, then video you as you try to get them back.

    Even better, let's copy the files to a folder and delete them there then watch you try to recover them. No harm, done, right?

  2. I think there might actually be a third option: Take responsibility, be a parent.

    Sure, whatever. Just realize that your kid will have friends and the chance of all their parents being tech-savvy enough to block porn is slim to none.

    Sheesh. The derp is strong in this one.

    Who said anything about blocking anything or trying to hide anything?

    "Being a parent" means preparing your children for the world. The real world. The one real people live in.

    If that world is full of porn then let them see it (but also tell them it's mostly about as realistic as any other fantasy movie).

    And .... what about all the other pointless gadgets the cheapo-pebble owners have bought?

    How much did that cost?

    Nope. Not seeing any use for this at all. If you spend all day worrying about the fonts you see in the world then get a life.

  14. Re:2 MONTH CONTRACT on Spain Runs Out of Workers With Almost 5 Million Unemployed (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here is an idea, why not make all Government workers 2 month positions. How many of the leaches currently holding office would do so without any financial security? None, asshole.

    If only you knew...

    Here in Spain a government worker cannot be fired. Ever.

    Pass the entrance exams when you're 20 and you can literally do fuck all, all day long, and you'll still get a paycheck every week for life. Plus Christmas bonus (an extra months wages in December - to get you through the holiday season). Plus a pension.

    Right now: All those 5 million in Spain are queuing up for government jobs, not looking at whatever this idiot is offering them.

    Between the functionaries doing nothing and the politicians stealing everything it's no wonder the country's in a mess.

    Is that despite the summary agreeing with my usage of the word "jail" or because of it?

    Bollocks.

    The change will be OVERNIGHT.

    It's game over as soon as the dumb fat Americans figure out they can watch pron or play Candy Crush on the way to work. Dealers will probably have to ban trade-ins because they'll be unsaleable.

  18. Autopilot still has a far better safety record than human drivers.

    There is insufficient data to take that claim seriously at this point.

    What's really needed is data where autopilot saved lives.

    1 in a 100 million will still result in hundreds of deaths a year considering how often a car is used..

    How is that worse than the one in a million caused by human drivers?

    YouTube is full of videos of people driving along minding their own business when somebody else falls asleep at the wheel and drifts into their lane.

    Just because tech isn't perfect, doesn't mean it isn't better then the existing system.
