  1. Re:Mozilla Wants To Be Everything .. why? on Firefox's Pocket Tries to Build a Facebook-Style Newsfeed That Respects Your Privacy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    And they failed miserably at being everything, I tried to use Firefox mobile and gave up, Opera is ok on mobile other than the fact that it's utterly senile with regards to remembering whether you want the mobile site or the desktop site.

    I've switched over to Waterfox, Chrome and SlimJet, it's a shame it still announces itself as Firefox.

    I'd used Firefox since it had a different name and was at version 0.5 approx'. But this business with gaping privacy flaws, several unwanted addons and the final straw - a completely mess with regards to supporting extensions - such a big fuck you to users. It's a shame Mozilla has lost it way, they forgot that people chose Firefox because of it's versatility and they tried to dumb it down and turn it into chrome, no surprises that that is a losing strategy, they were never going to make Firefox better at being Chrome than chrome is at being chrome.

  3. Re: 42K meters? on Samsung Plans To Use 100% Renewable Energy by 2020 (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    No, you could probably power half of Asia with 42km * 42km of good panels. OK actually that'd only supply about 1% of global energy requirements, but a lot more than Samsung need I'm sure.

    Wow, that's a lot! 42 km of solar panels.

    Of course, a lot depends on how WIDE that 42 km of solar panels it is....

    In other words, would it be too much to ask the editors to actually, you know, edit?

    How about 42km wide!!! ;-)

    And about 77 inches tall.

  6. People make mistakes, this one is miniscule in the scheme of things, I hate MS but I don't give two fucks about this. Win10 being a shitty spyware POS is a bigger concern for me as a PC gamer.

    I wouldn't disagree with that but Waymo appear to be years ahead of the competition, 5600 miles on average now before the driver needs to intervene, 100 times further than uber vehicles.

    Why, why should relatives benefit from work they didn't do. Inheritance is another thing I don't like and I'm saying this as someone who stands to inherit a lot in property.

    So lets call it 20 years from publication and if it's not published then tough. And what the hell is corporate authorship, and what's this 45 years crap, no, lets call that 20 years too. 14 years was good enough when copyright started, 20 years is plenty, 45 years is getting obscenely long already.

    Copyright laws were created to encourage people to create when copying would lead to them getting next to nothing for their works. Long copyright laws do not encourage people to create, they encourage massive long lasting IPs, not constant new material.

  12. 2nd that, I think everyone should just pirate anything created over 14 years ago, fuck the stooges.

    Fuck copyright, restrict it to 14 years from authorship, no extensions. It needs to be reset, people have been brain-washed in to thinking all copying is bad (except when they're doing it of course).

    Humans aren't so bad, they're just at an awkward stage with regards to intelligence. They're intelligent enough to collectively create the scientific wonders we have but individually stupid enough that they can see past their survival instincts. These survival instincts combined with intelligence worked very well previously but if we don't use our given intelligence then those same survival instincts will lead collectively to our demise through over population and through our pollution of air land and water.

    Donald Trump is a perfect example of this collective stupidity in action.
