  1. Re:This is all about Gillette on YouTube Struggles To Fight Mobs Weaponizing Their 'Dislike' Button (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    What AC here is complaining about is that he likens one of the horrible characters in the commercial and feels offended and thus obliged to go onto YouTube and downvote it, unlike all the millions of decent human beings that like the commercial that don't give a damn about the vote-count on it. It was a good commercial, if a bit late to the game.

  2. Re: Lets be antivax! on State of Emergency Declared in Washington State Over Measles Outbreak (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You do know that the flu vaccine is efficient, right? It's just not efficient against all three strands of the flu and they try to guess which one will be the dominant one each year. Sometimes they get it right, sometimes not, but at least there's a chance of protection.

  3. Re:Australia on China Negotiating For Cheaper Cancer Drugs (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    We have a very similar system in Sweden.

  4. That's why you eat a whole bunch of them, with schnaps of course.

  5. Re:Credit Cards Existed Long Before CC Terminals on In a Cashless World, You'd Better Pray the Power Never Goes Out (mises.org) · · Score: 1

    I don't know how it is where you live, but here, imprints can't fail no matter the amount on the account it tries to draw from. It's one of the fail-safes of doing business that way since it's not an immediate draw. It's on the buyer to keep enough cash on the account to not go over limit.

  6. Re:no kill them all on Should Zambia Allow The Testing of Genetically-Modified Mosquitoes? (nhregister.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not a feasible solution. You'd be killing off a lot more that mosquitos, you'd kill entire eco-systems that feed on them.

  7. You know you don't HAVE to hammer it in with one shot, you can just tap it nicely a few times and it'll go in just the same. ;)

  8. It's only tight because those that hold the money doesn't have to think about this when it's only a "what if" scenario. Hopefully they now know it's a necessary investment.

  9. This study cost the MPAA $1 million. Bought and Paid study. https://torrentfreak.com/mpaa-...

  10. Re:No TV on TVs Are Still Too Complicated, and It's Not Your Fault (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Use it as a monitor hooked up to a badass receiver for your sound-system. One input used, rest are on the receiver end.

  11. Re: No guns to fags on Invoking Orlando, Senate Republicans Set Up Vote To Expand FBI Spying (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    No, no bad part. You could rent the space out to immigrants :)

  12. Re: After I got banned from even playing single-pl on Valve Loses Australian Court Battle Over Steam (computerworld.com.au) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You let him play on your account, therefore you took responsibility for his actions. Don't let other people use your account, that's reckless and stupid.

  13. Re:Not for sale in the state of California. on California Bill Would Require Phone Crypto Backdoors · · Score: 1

    That would be the ballsy move, and the correct one.

  14. Re:The U.S. has tariffed rates. on European ISPs Exaggerate Performance; US ISPs Slower But More Honest (itworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Not much competition really, the wireless providers buy the fiber from the same companies as the regular consumers. So, when someone digs for any reason we try to maximize reach in that area. There's also a kind of gentleman's agreement between utility providers (water, electrical, fiber, roadworks etc) that they announce for others if they're planning to be digging somewhere. Others can join in and share the total cost of the dig.

  15. Re:The magic words being on European ISPs Exaggerate Performance; US ISPs Slower But More Honest (itworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The "up to" is true, but you still have a lower limit where it's not acceptable anymore, a wider span for DSL than fiber though. Generally a quarter of advertized capacity is the "up to" so if you have a 100/100 you should never be below 75.

  16. Re:If you did not pay for the product, you are one on Microsoft Now Uses Windows 10's Start Menu To Display Ads (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Win10 ignores the Host-file for certain Microsoft functions and simply bypass it.

  17. Re:Speed isn't Everything on Municipal ISP Makes 10Gbps Available To All Residents · · Score: 1

    Bot really. DHCP makes the connection plug'n'play, static does not. Most customers have no clue what an IP address is and where/how to set it. You'll only create more work for little gain.

  18. Nothing new... on Metal Gear Solid V PC Disc Contains Steam Installer, Nothing Else · · Score: 1

    This isn't a new thing, if you remember Elder Scrolls: Skyrim was the same, just a steam installer on the disc.

  19. Re:Northeast winters on Google Self-Driving Car Rear-Ended In First Injury Accident · · Score: 1

    Umm, you use dubbed tires, you can stop anywhere you like and still get going. Else, you're offroad driving.

  20. Re:Who makes these decisions? on Windows 10 Home Updates To Be Automatic and Mandatory · · Score: 1

    No, this is good. It will get rid of many problems created by user never updating their pc, ever. No user of Win Home should have any application that is THAT important, it's either PRO or Enterprise users that have critical software and those have option to not update. Seriously, this is a good thing.

    Agreed, this only confirms my worst fears about any such deal

  22. Bad for TTIP? on EU Drops Plans For Safer Pesticides After Pressure From US · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Everything that is good for citizens is bad for TTIP and vice versa.

    Nu uh, not according to Buffy, they get hired by an unnamed black suit organization as spies. Bright, but invisible future ahead of them.

  24. Re: life in the U.S. on Verizon, Cable Lobby Oppose Spec-Bump For Broadband Definition · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Wrong, we can stream Netflix in 30-50mbps in Sweden. If you have the connection and equipment you get UHD for titles where available.

    Never heard of the game so that must be it.
