  1. Does anybody ... on Assange Internet Link Cut By State Actor, Claims Wikileaks (rt.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Still believe his line of bullshit?

  2. DVD-S via motorised dish on Viewers Only Watch 10% of Pay-TV Channels: Nielsen (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a 1 meter motorised dish which can be pointed at over dozen satellites, thousands of channels and I still only watch a similar number of channels.

  3. Smoking gun links Putin with Trump on WikiLeaks Publishes Cryptic UFO Emails Sent To Clinton Campaign From Former Blink 182 Singer (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1
  4. Showing his true colours on WikiLeaks Posts 2,000 More Emails From John Podesta (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't wait to see how his regular fan boyz are going to rationalise this.

  5. Why stop there on Can We Really Stop Climate Change By 'Capturing' Carbon? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not genetically modify the plants to combine the C02 with some H20 and produce hydro-carbon fuel, why we are at it.

  6. Re:These guys called me last week. on Fake Call Centers in India Scam Americans Of Millions (ap.org) · · Score: 2

    They are actually using VOIP with a PSTN breakout services to get a local or national number.

  7. World wide on Fake Call Centers in India Scam Americans Of Millions (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    There are lots of versions of this and they target multiple western countries. I'm in the UK and had them claiming to be the HMRC, that I own Company and/or Personal Tax, British Telecom and Sky with outstanding bills, Google and Microsoft claiming I have virus. My brother living Australia has had them as well.

    They always use a Western Name yet have strong Indian accents, often so strong they cannot even be understood.

    I sometimes deliberately waste their time, sometimes I pretend to be impressed they have got a job with Google etc. Their mum must be proud, but I only do business with pious people, and game them into a trap. Other times I slowly build up passive-aggressive digs.

  8. 911 Myths debunked on Facebook Features 9/11 Conspiracy Theory as 'Trending' (slashdot.org) · · Score: 1

    Then lets play the same game and see if we can get this trending

  9. Google, Twitter, Quora et al do this every day on British Spy Agency GCHQ Used URL Shortener To Honeypot Arab Spring Activists (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing shocking in the article and the evidence presented actual proves very little, other than they are using analytics's just like every body else using the web. Why is this shocking when spooks do this but not when Google, Twitter and other do this all the time?

    Hell I've done it on occasions to track how many people have downloaded things I've published in different places.

  10. Following Disney's lead on Getty Sued For $1 Billion For Selling Publicly Donated Photos (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Disney have been doing this for years with public domain and other content and getting away with it using their army of lawyers crush their opponents. Their stolen works, which will get them suing you including Rudyard Kipling, Robert Louis Stephenson, Winnie the Poo and even European fairy tales that are hundred of years old.

  11. very different creators on Why Did The Stars Wars and Star Trek Worlds Turn Out So Differently? (marginalrevolution.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Gene Roddenberry and George Lucas have very different world views.

  12. Trailer design on US Regulators Investigating Tesla Over Use of 'Autopilot' Mode Linked To Fatal Crash (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    There seems to be big flaw in the design of the trailer that allowed this to happen.

    In the UK HGV trailers are required to have side and rear run-under prevention to stop this very thing from happening.

  13. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I've worked in Gib quite a lot in the last few years and while they are very proud to be British they will certainly need to reconsider their own referendum on independence. Last time they voted 99% to be British. I don't think they will leave but that outstanding majority will take a big hit.

  14. Kick in the balls on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The picture emerging this morning on social media from friends that had so far kept quiet is that this a kick in the balls for the establishment.

  15. Yes on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Alex Salmond has already called for a second Scottish independence referendum and I don't see how that can be refuse, the same for NI. I'm pro-union and pro-eu and certainly see Scotland leaving the UK now.

  16. You won't find it ironic after you've read this

    https://libcom.org/files/Rober...

  17. In my extremists often accuse their opponents of the very same underhand tactics they themselves use.

    One example, in the UK, UKIP an extreme ne-nazi group campaigning for the UK to leave the European Union accuse opponents of 'fear mongering' when they themselves have spent years stoking up fear and hate against foreigners using posters such as the following.

    Now this doesn't just include the food.

    Do they recycle the box after each customer or is it throw away after use.

    FFS Just put an induction charger in each table.

  21. The regulator is called the information commissioner, not the data controller, who is the person at the company legally responsible for compliance. The data subject is well, the subject of the data.

    The Data Protection Act applies were either the data controller or the data subject are UK entities. So the personal data of Americans or any anybody is legal protected when held by a UK company.

    This company is clearly acting illegally and subject to a £6k fine per person per breach.

  22. Re:Not normal on British Startup Strip Mines Renters' Private Social Media For Landlords (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The original UK Data Protection Act pre-dates the EU Data Protection Directive by over a decade.

    The UK pushed this standardisation through the EU.

  23. Very strangely their site is full of Lorem ipsum, got the feeling this is either deliberately creating a faux controversy for farming inbound links or perhaps just a massive troll.

  24. It is neither hilarious nor intense, it is a incoherent stream of loosly coupled phrases. It is entirely reminiscent of Eliza.
