    If the services had started out integrated this would not be an issue. On Facebook you can do a search, look at someone's photos, post comments etc. and everyone knows they all share data. Should Google be treated differently just because google brought in picassa, added blogging, etc. rather than implementing them all in one go?

    aye.... the "bomb the underground" kinda places you as perhaps English so at a guess i would say you are one of those twats from the EDL(English Defence League) as does your use of the term "muzzies" who are basically an extension/offshoot of types like the national front/BNP(british national party) who are outright racist organisations.

    No, whereas I think the EDL have a correct assessment of Islam, a lot of them are severely racist. As I said previously I believe that everyone should be treated equally. And just so you know, I would treat any other group which professed an aim of world domination, subjugation of others, and had launched terror attacks against us the same way I treat Muslims.

    In my day we had to invent writing, hew a stone from the quarry, and wear the letters into the tablet by rubbing it with our noses. And if we handed it in late you'd have to write it out a hundred times before the morning. It was so bad we would still be working on our first grade when we died of old age.

  20. Re:Highway lights??? on UK To Dim Highway Lights To Save Money · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I doubt that highway lights are an actual safety improvement

    I've done quite a bit of driving on UK motorways late at night and in bad weather and have to say I really appreciate the lit sections. Particularly in heavy traffic with fog, rain and snow it dramatically improves your visibility and I feel I can judge distances a lot better with them. I don't mind being on an empty unlit road at night, but a busy one (e.g. parts of the M62 on the north side of Manchester) can be pretty horrible.

    I find that in the unlit sections the dazzle of the oncoming headlights is much worse. And if you have dipped beams to avoid dazzling them you are driving into darkness - you know on a motorway that the road is clear but it is psychologically stressful when you can't actually see the road ahead as far as your stopping distance.

  21. It may sound that way, but it doesn't read that way. Perhaps if you stopped listening to articles and read the written words you'd know what they were about.

    Specifically, Capsicum is a Unix (and therefore heavily C- and process-based) framework for sandboxing applications. Android applications, on the other hand, are written in Java and executed on the Dalvik VM. The "process" model is completely different from that of Unix. C applications and modules in Android can only use and link against the NDK, which doesn't expose any operating system interfaces at all. So, again, Capsicum is useless.

    Capsicum also debuted, like, years ago.

    I agree this will add nothing at an app level. However if it is sufficiently lightweight and powerful in could conceivably be used at an OS level below the Dalvic JVM,

  24. Re:Nothing to see here on Women More Likely To Unfriend Than Men · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More like "Women less regretful than men, more likely to blame others."

    That's possibly true. Socially women are seen as victims if people misuse or ogle their pictures, where as men are seen as "fair game". This would certainly encourage women to feel "poor me, I din nothing wrong its all these nasty people", whereas men would think "oh how could I have been so dumb".
