    Apparently not private enough.
    Me ordering Alexa is the only talking done in my house.

  2. Re:This is only half of the story on No Healthy Level of Alcohol Consumption, Says Major Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Not compressing in the first place is far healthier.

  3. So the washing takes longer. Why do you care? It doesn't require your attention and if you need something clean in a hurry, there are less efficient short programs.

  4. Yeah, that happens if you only read British media.

  5. Are you seriously afraid of Belarus?

  6. Yep, that's what I did.

    So he warned against technocrats. Nothing wrong with that.

  8. Re: Because, if you are like most people... on Mathematicians Solve Age-Old Spaghetti Mystery (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    Most people can.

    You are, by your own admission, a frequent drunk driver.
    Have you suffered the consequences of your own stupidity yet?
    Exactly. In a society you envision you would be behind the bars.

  10. Re:Is it on the die? on Researcher Finds A Hidden 'God Mode' on Some Old x86 CPUs (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    It is real alright. Same with the Intel management engine and the AMD PSP.

  11. Re: Linux will never be mainstream on Dropbox Is Dropping Support For All Linux File Systems Except Unencrypted Ext4 (dropboxforum.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you confusing nerds with masochists?

  12. Well, disobedience is for the donkeys, so if you consider your attitude badass, you are just being a bad ass.

  13. Actually Russia does.

  14. So you think that two wrongs do make a right?

  15. Re: This donkey is just trying to be popular on 'Why Liberal Arts and the Humanities Are as Important as Engineering' (wadhwa.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A witty saying proves nothing.

    - Voltaire

    Besides, Heinlein was nuts because specialisation is what made a civilisation possible in the first place. Any hunter-gatherer society left is a prime example.
    Well, actually Heinlein was nuts for all kinds of reasons, like an unhealthy obsession with slide rules, but they are not important right now.

  16. Re: Assassination? Or Hoax? on Venezuelan President Survives Drone Assassination Attempt (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Ask, for example, the Turkmens again about their freedom.

    Had nothing to do with that - otherwise the majority of the former soviet republics wouldn't have even less freedom nowadays than they had back then.
    The state of the economy coupled with nationalist uprisings - that later became outright wars - were the factors that brought the USSR down.

  18. Re:Assassination? Or Hoax? on Venezuelan President Survives Drone Assassination Attempt (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Like they haven't missed with Castro?

    "Simply by running out of money"? They had to match the military budget of the whole NATO - an organisation created by wealthy and summarily far more populous countries.

  21. Re: Different headline than I expected on Tesla Is Building Its Own AI Chips For Self-Driving Cars (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You are the biased one. Because the Merlin engine isn't that advanced - it is more or less 1960s technology but lighter thanks to the more modern materials becoming available since then. Landing the rockets is revolutionary, the engines aren't, though - not even close.

  22. Re: Right to repair on The Rogue Tesla Mechanic Resurrecting Salvaged Cars (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    They have accepted preorders way before that so they have been on the market for more than a decade. Besides, even a decade is more than long enough to stop being a startup.

  23. Re:Right to repair on The Rogue Tesla Mechanic Resurrecting Salvaged Cars (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How exactly can you call a company that has been on the market for 15 years "a startup" with a straight face?

  24. Re:Honestly, this doesn't bother me... on American Airlines Is Using a CT Scanner To Screen Luggage At New York's JFK Airport (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Given that it comes from you, I am surprised that you haven't suggested arming the pilots with nuclear reactors.

    It has everything to do with East Europe.
    You are perfectly happy to take our money, but when we ask for help you just tell us to fuck off, the ungrateful bastards you are. The whole EU expansion to the Eastern Europe has been a big mistake.
