  1. Re:Shock, Horror! on What Your Photos Know About You (itworld.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a known issue, where Facebook, Twitter and other cunts strip copyright notices from photographs, making it harder to stop them being treated as Orphan Works.

    Moreover, I disallow anyone, family or friend, to post photos of my family, adults or children, online where anyone can see them

    Sure. Good luck with that one.

    I shoot street and I promise you, I've asked permission from none of the thousands of people I've put online. Don't need to, don't care.

  3. Hmm. There was me cynically thinking it was the lure of EU handouts.

  4. Interesting, but reasonable.

    What I find comical is the SNP position that they want self-determination away from the UK but also want to hand all control of economic and politics to the EU.

    I'm a Scot that wasn't bloody allowed to vote in the referendum, so fuck the lot of them. Although I did have fun in Edinburgh at the weekend.

  5. Yeah, I'm constantly amused that I keep getting asked to comment on information security at work.

    My standard response is "here are some risks you need to mitigate, but please get a security professional in because this stuff is hard and I don't know what I'm talking about".

    Although, maybe that's why I keep getting asked.

    Good news! Law enforcement acts to prevent black people murdering other black people too.

    What a marvellous world in which it's possible to focus on multiple concurrent problems. Who'd have thought.

    The leader resigned after the poor election results

    Yeah, getting over twice as many votes as a party that won 56 seats in parliament is a fucking disaster.

    The irony is that UKIP appear to be less racist too.

    Meanwhile BNP membership is discriminated against by the police service, which will almost certainly have greatly reduced the number of people signing up. If the police banned membership of Labour, Plaid Cymru, the Conservatives, the Lib Dems, the SNP and UKIP too then you'd see membership for those drop as well.

    I hear 'fuck' a lot. 'Fuck off' or 'fuck you' is aggressive and personal, and that's no better than 'you incompetent disgrace', you try and avoid it.

    'Fuck it', 'fuck me' or 'lets fix this fucking thing' however.. that's pretty commonplace.

    It's important to be able to say 'no' in a professional environment.

    Or did you mean 'nigger'? That's a very emotive term heavily laden with racial meanings, and generally deemed inappropriate for work use.

    Definitely one for HR to deal with.

    What the fuck is wrong with swearing?

    It's just words. Shit, it's not even targeted - unlike your personal attack on Torvalds.

    I'd rather employ someone competent with a full range of vocabulary than some fuckwit that thinks swearing is somehow a bad thing.

    I save it for voice comms.

    Emails are polite, constructively worded and easily forwarded to very senior managers if escalation is needed.

    Phone calls involving swear words as a follow-up usually avoid escalation being needed.

    Don't forget that consumers trying to import low-cost goods from lower cost of living areas is also deemed illegal in Europe, because only our salaries are allowed to be reduced through global competition, not our consumption costs.

    You also didn't mention the hordes of immigrants working for pitiful sums with their living costs subsidised by the local population that don't have a cheap arse country to go back to.

    I think the point isn't that they don't try to regulate (into oblivion) these things, but by the time they DO start to regulate, its to late to stop outright.

    So basically the author is paranoid then?

    Why would they regulate to prevent these things? Uber is merely a private hire car company using mobile apps and variated pricing. This isn't new, it's just remixing the same ingredients.

    Airbnb is merely a portal for people providing B&B and short term rentals.

    Shit, even Bitcoin is merely an interesting blend between ponzi scheme and agreed medium of exchange. Both of which have existed for fucking ever.

    There's no need to regulate these things into oblivion, and that's why it hasn't happened. It's got fuck all to do with them subverting the legal system and running ahead of it.

    Oh! That makes far more sense.

    I was interpreting it as some fucked up twitch based interactive tutorial on how to install a linux distro on your own PC.

    Tuning in to crowdsource screwing over someone else's PC is equally odd, but seems a perfectly legit target for an IRC bot.
