    Oh so that's why the MIC and Fox are suddenly gushing this from their anus; they are trying to garner support for action against Isis. Pathetic.

    No; they are FAILED engineers; nothing they create works properly; that's why they are trying to force the world to their will through violence, not intellect.

    Are you for real; SEO is a wankers activity that directly harms consumers. The more 'Expensive' Google make it, the better, 'cos I wont shed any tears if the whole SEO crowd end up homeless.
    As for the rest of your drivel; google maps comes top of the list because it is the most popular destination for Google users. Which part of that is too hard for you to understand?

    Google should create a special app/site for takedown requests, and call it 'Winston'.

  10. Re:Blaming Google on Following EU Ruling, BBC Article Excluded From Google Searches · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't know why the journalist is blaming Google for this ("So why has Google killed this example of my journalism?") when it's obvious they're not doing this voluntarily.

    Because the people in charge are terrified of Google, the Internet, and their citizens use of it. So the BBC, kowtowing as usual to power, but still with enough journalistic testicles to make some form of protest, blames Google.. in the hope they can get away with it. Rather than pinning the blame on the corrupt shitpile of lawyers and wonks who forced Google to do this in a desperate attempt to make money the deciding factor in information control and suppression.

    It's 2009, networks were smaller then.

    According to this there were just 300k mobiles in Cuba in 2008.

    So it was actually an attempt to spam every person with a mobile in Cuba with pro-US propaganda. And it's just one of many such political spammings, and they still continue.

    Lots of countries have 100% information sharing with the US.

    It's not really sharing, in the traditional form of the word.

    More like paying protection money, to be honest. I mean, you might get back something you can use against your political enemies (so long as they are Americas enemies too), but mostly you have to hand it over and not look them in eye; and all the while some thug is poking under your head of sate saying thing like 'this parliament looks a bit old to me, positively a fire hazard really, be a shame if it burned down.. what do you think?'

  20. Re:VMware tools included on FreeBSD 10.0 Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Do you really need VMWare tools?

    Yes.

    Things like Gui integrations are fine and handy/essential if you are virtualizing a desktop OS.

    But even if setting up a headless virtual server that you never access on the console after sshd is running you should still use them in order to benefit from virtualized disk and network I/O. This can deliver decent speedups if your VM is bottlenecking in that area.

    The drivers you want should be in ports, or a precompiled package for all common OS's. If this is not true for your VM system then you should be questioning the VM provider, not the guest OS, about why they are so hard to setup.

  21. Re:So what happens to the hydrogen? That's usable. on Revolutionary Scuba Mask Creates Breathable Oxygen Underwater On Its Own · · Score: 5, Insightful

    However it seems like there are significant theoretical barriers to such a device because humans need a lot of O2 and seawater only has 7ppm.

    Indeed; fish deal with this by being low metabolism 'cold blooded' creatures. Humans, on the other hand, are mammals with a much higher metabolic rate and correspondingly higher oxygen use to support that.

    Every time a sci-fi series has added 'gills' to a human to let them swim underwater I have laughed, the traditional make up for this, three flaps on each side of the neck, would not suffice for a fish.. let alone a human.

    I really wish you kids would stop discovering Mitnick and worshiping him like a hero.

    Lets get some facts about Mitnick straight.

    You would do well to follow your own advice.
    Nobody here is idolizing him, we are merely pointing out that he is perhaps the best example of a geek being punished out of all proportion to their actual criminality, and deliberately hounded by prosecutors and law officials who were behaving no better than the lowest sort of playground bully.

    That's all; the fact we keep mentioning him is not because we think he was a uberhacker; quite the reverse. The people bullying him were the ones claiming that.
