    Keep it up. I might even re-friend you one of these days.

    What, you're still here?

  3. Maybe Americans need to learn how to treat their dogs.

    Here in Sweden, people take their dogs everywhere, even on the subway. Seldom if ever any problems.

  4. The last time I was in the States, I bought a Rand McNally road atlas for $15.

    Out on America's glorious Interstate Highways, it can be a long way between cheap coffee/free wifi stations (I think you lot call them "McDonalds", yes?), and when you're hiring a car those on-dash GPS things cost extra--about $15/day.

    Ignore it, and it'll go away. That's always worked out so well...

  6. I don't think US law applies in Brazil.

  7. Re:No Sharing Allowed on Galaxy Note 7 Iris Scanner Explained (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    Back in the day, everyone who didn't live alone shared their phones with their families.

    Used to be, a phone number meant a home or office. Now it means someone's ass pocket.

  8. How can you tell?

  9. Um, the laptop I'm using right now was manufactured in Thailand.

    Thank you, AC--better known as Shilly McShillFace.

  11. Let's see someone stick a real gun in your face and find out what a real man you are, eh?

    I question your example and your premise.

    Please show in case law where evidence obtained illegally is ever legally admissible. I think you'll find that it doesn't matter whether the illegal access was by officers or not--illegally obtained evidence is still illegally obtained evidence, and can't be used in court.

    Perhaps you've lost sight of the fact that Facebook is (1) not an arm of the US government and (2) under no obligation to transmit anything from anyone to anyone unless they bloody well feel like it, in the absence of a binding contract to the contrary which I don't think you'll find in their TOS.

  14. The first person to come up with a sound-bitey platitude in order to obscure the truth is the most sociopathic.

    Curse all you want, you're still wrong. Go look up "incitement".

    That's a solution in the same way that blowing your face off with a shotgun is a solution for severe facial acne.

    One of which you've obviously and lamentably not yet attempted.

    You waited to *retire*?

    There's not a single device running Windows in my home, hasn't been in quite some time, and retirement is 10-15 years away for me.

  18. It's not just a client side scripting language any more.

    "Any more"? It never has been. I was doing serverside JS in the 90s with Netscape-SSJS, Classic ASP/JScript, and SpeedScript.

    None of which are even around anymore... Thanks. Now I feel old.

  19. Re:Don't let your profile be an admin on All Windows 10 Kernel Mode Drivers Must Be Digitally Signed By Microsoft (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    If the submitter is proposing that the xkcd comic about having your admin account be separate from your user account...

    He's not. And you don't log in as Administrator to do your online shopping, either. At least, I hope that you don't.

  20. A foreign agency is very possibly trying to interfere in US elections. Maybe you didn't think about that.

    Mugwump.

  22. I think you are right. But, as a devil's advocate, trade policy is not legislation. So maybe in Trump's bloviating buffoon mind he thinks he can raise the import duty / tariffs sky high as protectionism to force jobs to come back. Only an idiot would think that - but then the misogynist xenophobe racist divisive psychopathic serial liar Trump is sort of an idiot.

    Typical. Those who shame others for generalizations and stereotypes often commit those same actions in the same sentence..

    ...but not today!
