Re: "media were fawning over"

"true that a nice face to"

"Had tits" was to indicate her sex in my delightfully crude style. They didn't fawn because of her tits or pretty face (although neither hurt) they fawned because she is a woman succeeding in a man's world, she was aspirational, a cause to champion, and a winner, the next Steve Jobs FFS (until she wasn't big time).

You can watch Meredith Perry in a couple of TED videos talking and presenting utter crap and the audience gush and fawn because she also has tits.

"Laura Southern was just banned"

When I saw that I was ashamed to be British, after thinking about it a bit more I think I am just embarrassed to be British and stunned at the fuckwittery perpetrated by our police forces and their masters.

Re: Can we have them

"Are you sure?"

One look at the photo shows that vehicle couldn't handle a brick left in the road scenario. With a top speed of 10mph they couldn't participate in most road scenarios anyway which is why they have their own special road with their own lane and markings.

The whole scheme is pathetic, irrelevant, and a waste of money which of course means it must be...

"jointly funded by government and industry"

Funny how they always manage to misspell taxpayer.

Re: All that screen and only 1080 vertical ? In 2018 ? For gaming ?

"sitting pretty on 3840 x 2160"

Some people actually play games instead of masturbating over high resolution textures.

Back in the day hardcore Quake players ran 320x240 because for actually playing the game frame rate was much more important than resolution.

Re: Standard tactic

"We can't solve this,"

Solve what? The problem is idiot politicians and technocrats who think shit posted on the internet turns people into terrorists.

If they really believe that people are significantly influenced by shit on the internet all they need to do is posts contrary shit in equal amounts.

Re: I'd love a Tesla model S with a V8 instead of the electric drive.

"It wouldn't accelerate anything like as quickly"

Maybe because he could fill it up and drive 50 miles while the Tesla is waiting for a supercharger slot to become free (and another 50 while it is charging).

Frankly it is ridiculous that Tesla sized the electronics motors and transmission so it can do its 500kW blow away everything from the lights 'ludicrous' mode party piece that has no practical application other than bragging rights for Tesla and tosspots.

I watched Clarkson's recent model X review. He loved the stupid gimmicks. I would be embarrassed to own a Tesla. Try showing the bird that you can make it look like a James Bond submarine Lotus on the console display and see how much of a fanny magnet it is.

Re: "next generation of artists will come from. How will they survive?"

"Why should anyone else benefit from the fruits of his labour more than he himself? "

Why shouldn't everyone benefit from the fruits of his labour for free and fuck him?

Seems like a greater good to me, however, when you can answer that question dumb ass you will understand the reason for copyright and how badly it is being abused.

Re: 'In short, it's full speed ahead for the smart home market'

"crappy IoT doorbell"

Well more than a doorbell and while it looks wonderful in their adverts the reviews I have seen do class it as crappy.

Has ring got that many (dumb) customers? You would think you could design and put into production a 'better' crappy IoT doorbell for much less than a billion and Amazon has plenty of name and company to back it up.

Re: "download entire films, or businesses to share huge files, almost instantly"

"Who knows? That's the point."

Sure, let's invest 40 billion quid like Australia's NBN is costing, just in case someone thinks of something.

Re: Testing irl

"How Toxic Is Your Car Exhaust"

That was quite shocking, but, the dumb fscks don't get that reducing NOx emission is easy.

What is hard to the point of impossible is reducing NOx emissions without also reducing power and efficiency and so increasing CO2 emissions.

The manufacturers are trying to provide what their customers want to buy. If you had one of the NOx emitting VWs and they offered to update the ECU to reduce NOx emissions at the cost of 10% less maximum power and 10% worse mileage would you you take the update?

"money from the NRA than the Russians"

Wow one bit of libtard bollocks is bigger than another bit of libtard bollocks.

In 2016 labour unions spent $1.7 billion on politics and lobbying.

Even the politifact Libtards can only make all NRA political spending add up to $302M over the last 19 years. Planned Parenthood spent $38M in 2016 alone.

"acting as a buffer"

What a moronic thing to say. The only way they could act as a buffer is if renewable energy sources were used to synthesize the gas they run on and that doesn't happen at all.

They are non-green generation burning dead dinos and would be even more ridiculously expensive if forced to sit idle while renewable sources are available.

Re: Not half-way good enough.

"Ads are a necessary evil."

No they are not. They are a waste paid for by consumers and offer very little in return. It would be much cheaper to pay for content currently funded by advertising.

I would love to live in a world which banned advertising, the whole world would be 4-5% richer and 3-4% of the workforce would be available to do something useful instead.

"I can remember when people were wondering what to do with 512k on ADSL !"

Really? I was pissed off the 8Mb the green frogs could do was crippled to 512k so BT could continue to rip off its leased line and ISDN customers.

That said there are limits to the data rate humans can consume or generate. 64k is enough for voice and has been since the telephone was invented for example. 4k video is mostly bollocks that people can't see. So after about 20Mb per person the only advantage is waiting less time to get big gobs of data to be consumed slower and that isn't worth a lot.

I use my 80Mb connection about 1% of the time what advantage to I get using a 1Gb connection less than 0.1% of the time?

Re: MS Give Windows 7 & 8 users a Virtual Machine with their previous Windows 7 & 8 O/S in it.

"don't not work well with Windows 10"

The problem with Win 10 is not what doesn't run on it. It is it running shit built into it that you can't get rid of.

"databases so not quite sure how that is really going to help iif like me the person isn't on them"

You will be on them the second time you are stopped.......

The police harvesting fingerprints on a whim or randomly is the biggest downside I see.

Re: "I expect to remain CEO for the foreseeable future"

Well we know how bad he is at predicting the future.

I expect he will remain Tesla CEO till just before it becomes obvious Tesla investors are going to lose their shirts and then he will leave and hide inside Space X.

Re: I am confused

"When you realize just how little cash physically exists in circulation, as compared to the amount the amount actually in use, it's staggering."

Only staggering if you are an idiot that has no concept of how our monetary systems work.

Re: StatCounter = irrelevant, amateurish

"Of about 100 laptop I've seen, about 80 were running Linux"

So where was this Camp Nerd place?

"They are damned if the do and damned if they don't"

No they are damned because they produced a piece of shit operating system which customers didn't want and then tried to force them to use it by any means. This is just the latest means.

Re: Bye Bye

"will trigger an instant uninstall"

Lol quantum triggered a firefox uninstall before I had even installed it and that was months ago.

This is just more evidence as I said last time that Mozilla is continuing to fuck itself.

Re: Why doesn't he base it on ability to actually make cars?

"Do people actually think they WONT sort them out"

I think they are incompetent. The build quality of their cars isn't good the model X is shit. Having enough money to burn $ half a million an hour month after month lets you cover up an awful lot of incompetence.

They probably will sort them out, the question how much grief customers have to put up with and can they sort them out and still make a profit.

Re: That's not news

No it isn't news except it comes from farcebook which means hundreds of millions of morons (including the BBC) think it is news.

Re: I weep for my country...

"the lack of competition in the isp market indicates a requirement for them to step in."

Yes, but, net neutrality discourages competition so in this case stepping out is the right thing to do.

As I understand it the FCC still has plenty of powers to deal with abuse of monopoly.
