    I really don't understand how so many people can be outraged by this much money flying around, yet seldom do they contribute to the orgs that actually do anything to fight it.

    The most outraged are the ones that lack the funds to participate. So they can't afford to fund fighting it either.

    If you can buy a politician and get results, the status quo suits you.

    Yeah, my 970 was driving 1440p effortlessly back when it was new, and is now driving 1080p effortlessly on my 'has steering wheel' backup PC.

    My 1070 is struggling on brand new games at 1440p if I leave all settings at max, by which I mean it can drop under 50fps occasionally.

    It's the difficulty of finding the balance between IT investment, where to invest and retaining profitability as a company.

    Skipping the 'I made up a fake view so that I can mock it' entries in your farcical list, a simple point on this one:

    We don't want EU fishermen in our waters, because we don't want to travel as far as they do to get the same deal.

    I don't see the EU granting British farmers vast tracts of land in France, Spain or Germany. I don't see the energy captured by Italian solar panels being shared equally across all EU states. I don't see EU nations enjoying the benefits of another state's natural resources anywhere except the sea.

    Why should the UK let every other cunt out there exploit our natural resources?

    The ultimate irony is that by leaving the EU it allows the UK to free up the immigration program

    The EU do nothing to prevent non-EU migration, which is indeed one of the reasons why the UK has such a sizeable population born outside the EU.

    Brexit wasn't won on xenophobia, it was won on downright ignorance combined with a really stupidly worded question

    I love the way that people that voted to remain in the EU entirely misunderstand why other people voted to leave, misstate those reasons then call the people that voted to leave ignorant.

    The ignorance involved is indeed ample, but it's repeatedly demonstrated by people such as yourself.

    They should've fucking moved back to the UK if they wanted to vote.

    To be omitted from the electoral register they'd have had to be living outside the UK for so fucking long they qualify for citizenship of whichever country they've chosen to live in anyway.

    Were I planning to send five requests a month then that clause (of which I was already aware) would indeed apply.

    I'm not. I'm planning to make two requests, the second 2-3 months after receiving the results from the first, for the purposes of assuring that the corrections required have been made.

    That's not vexatious, unfounded, repetitive or excessive and I'm happy to discuss that in front of a judge if required.

    I drive an automatic so I don't manually operate the clutch.

    what hazard is a stationary vehicle

    None. The hazard is entering the stream of traffic half a second late because the fucking engine had to start, thus causing you to obstruct a car coming one way and then potentially further obstructing cars coming the other way.

    Instead of a safe efficient manoeuvre you've just risked multiple accidents.

    But nice that you think it's all about penises and not safe driving. Says a lot about you, that does.

  16. Until May there's a 10 quid charge for making a subject access request. From May that charge goes away, you can make them for free.

    So I'll be writing to Facebook, and Twitter, and Google, and the credit agencies, and a few other organisations and demanding all of my data from them.

    Then I'll be writing to Facebook, and Twitter, (etc), and inviting them to delete or correct all my data.

    After that, because it's free, I'll be writing to them all again to request a copy of my data. At this point either changes will have been made or I start making money.

    It's lovely.

  24. So you design a car that can safely drive itself in traffic, can track whether the driver is actively using the controls and knows that for six seconds the driver hasn't been using them while driving at speeds the car can't protect them through a crash.

    And you didn't design in, "Slow the fuck down because nobody is in control of the vehicle"?

    There's no reason for it to be a detriment to driving.

    You reach the junction, come to a brief halt, identify the gap in the traffic and accelerate smoothly into it, safely coming up to speed without forcing anybody else to slow down.

    Unless your fucking engine switched off when you came to a stop, leaving you sat there for half a second waiting for your car to start fucking moving.

    There's a reason I disable stop/start at certain roundabouts on my commute. It's actually dangerous.
