Re: "Intellectual property is a "right" only insofar as the law says it is"

Youtube is a mega corporation (owned by Alphabet which is basically Google),.

Re: Face facts

"Should have used crooked Hillary's email server"

Some kind of Ironic posting? Or do you sit stuck in front of Fox Propaganda all day?

have. ffs.

Re: Say what?

They never cost $50 per year, unless you stupidly wanted to pay that.

Re: 64bit AMD x2 in full use - before this MS patch

I have a bunch of older AMD CPUs here. What are you after?

Free for postage if it fits.

Re: Calls and Email

Yeah, your kids won't thank you for that. Having to hide it from all the other kids...

Re: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

Perhaps a better analogy would be:

Who needs a self-driving Tesla, when you could drive your old traditional car by hand?

And as an added bonus, keep your head on your shoulders.

Yeah.. Premature technology...

"when will man first step foot on mars (if it hasn't already, queue conspiracy theories)?"

That's right! We haven't been to the moon, because MSM claims we have. (And a few others too)

But since we claim not to have been to Mars, we have actually been there in secret.

It all makes sense now...

Re: Amadeus

BMI?

Why should a tall person get a discount?

Re: Big fines are just a cost of doing big business

So you think EU should hurt anyone selling phones now, instead of just Google?

Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

Re: Very nice.

"We also know that geolocation data is relatively easily de-anonymized"

No kidding! A trace leading to your own door, every day. With no motion during the night...

Re: He commited a Felony

Something can be consequential and still be morally or legally wrong. It often is.

"what's your backup plan, and your exit stratergy"

Sounds like using the cloud is a bit like a SEAL team extracting a hostage.

Re: Made it here first!

"Drug" is a very weird word in English.

In my native tongue a "drug" is something that influences your perception of reality somehow, or simply puts you to sleep (temporarily, or forever).

Insuline and such are medication (or medicine), not "drugs". A "drugstore" would be a quite shady place indeed!

Re: Don't fret. It is all part of Trumps grand plan

Don't act the fool.

Water isn't a pollutant either, but you can still drown in it.

Too much CO2 will feck up our planet so much that you will wish you had more pollutants instead of CO2.

Re: Seriously?

"a government ran by a pseudo-dictatorship which invades a peaceful nation and runs hundreds of thousands of people out of their home at gunpoint."

Now you are slightly harsh about the UK government. But only slightly.

Re: Dangerous?

Many countries use a combination of a percentage of the speed limit, and a maximum overspeed (for example 20mph) before losing the license. Hefty fines long before those limits.

Assuming you ask about the signposted speed limits, I guess making them suitable to the road conditions, but also taking into account other road users, would make sense. Especially now when drivers expect not to have to think at all, and just keep to the posted speed limit (as a lower limit) regardless of visibility, other road users, and so on.

So, yes, more nannying because drivers don't do their own assessments any more.

Also: Drivers should be forced to take a "pedestrian experience course" walking along some heavily trafficked B-roads. That should scare the sh*t out of them, and give them a valuable lesson. Might help with the obesity epidemic as well.
