  1. Re:The answer to malvertising on Malvertising Campaign Infected Thousands of Users Per Day For More Than a Year (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    No, it's like saying an answer to unwanted pregnancy is condoms.

    The media sites demanding you disable your protection are just like the Catholic church, worried a revenue stream might dry up.

  2. No, but it does feel reasonable for you to invoice any political party that spams you without your consent, costing you money.

    Obviously your invoice will include a charge for your time, and eventually the small claims court fees you're incurring to enforce payment.

    Fuck that. Set up a robocaller to call a random number from a list of political parties and representatives that use robocallers to give them a message that they suck and their use of rocoballers means you wont use them.

    It'll be a short list, so a good parallel caller with access to multiple lines should be able to keep most of the senate permanently engaged.

    DOS the fuckers.

    Don't forget the situations where she's the instigator and/or active participant in the domestic violence. The man still gets the blame.

    Then there's the simple fact that the man usually pays for the woman's lawyers anyway.

    Yeah. By the time she's in bed with you, either you can't avoid sexual activity or she very clearly doesn't want it.

    Never yet met a woman that'll lie there next to you going, "Why isn't he asking me?"

    (Lying there going, "Why did I agree to this?" or "Did he just fart?" however..)

    erm. I've shared a mattress with another bloke. With another six blokes in the room.

    Maybe I slept through it, but I don't recall any fondling, let alone full-on balls bouncing off cheeks type action.

    I did get up at 5am and go have coffee with house owner's mother though.

    Yeah, I paid extra for 'Pro' to give me control over this shit.

    Yes. Flowers, dinner, sitting through 'romantic' films, compliments and time - and that's before a condom breaks and you're handing over three quarters of your income for 20 years.

    After a billion 'sales' she's going to be a bit haggard.

  11. Only if you drive.

    But El Paso is closer to San Diego than it is to Houston.

  12. Your Tesla owning friend keeps getting told by the CEO of his car's manufacturer that his automagic car is safer if he lets the car drive itself.

    That's the real crime here.

  13. Why? Its safer.

    No, it's not.

    Oh. "Math". Meanwhile, back in the real world..

  14. When I drive, I go the posted speed limit

    I drive at a safe speed. One suited to the road, the other traffic, the conditions and to my own ability to stay alert, engaged and in control.

    Sometimes that's the speed limit.

    You want stupid fixed and that is impossible.

    No, he wants stupid to not be the promoted operating mode of a high speed electromechanical device containing humans.

    E.g. a feature sold as 'autopilot' that crashes you into big fucking lorries at 74mph.

    Its design is defective, its marketing is defective and the fuckwits blaming users are the most defective of all.

    You don't have to fix stupid, just don't fucking guarantee its lethality.

  16. Agreed completely. I can use old PCs with existing Windows installations for Lightroom and the old games that don't have Linux versions - and stop patching those to avoid the rot.

    Anything new needs to run my game library as held within Steam. If Windows wont do that, I wont use Windows.

    I've downloaded 95GB since 11pm yesterday, purely because I happened to buy the latest Humble Bundle, which includes (amongst others) NBA 2K16 at over 44GB of downloadable game.

    Yeah, on that topic Amelie was an eye opener for me after I'd watched it and not even noticed several hundred CGI effects.

    There are a couple of obvious ones but primarily it's been put together with skill and subtlety that lets you focus on the story, the people, the film. I like that.

    Adam Sandler is a crime against his own talent. He can actually act.

    He just chooses to make a very lucrative and comfortable career being mediocre instead of seeking out the writers and directors that could make him so much more.

    I would pity him, except that he's insanely rich as a result. I guess it's hard to criticise really. You can always choose not to watch his films..
