Ownership is not a natural human right, that's not how human rights work. (I too can make bald, sweeping statements without any justification or thought to reality, based purely on my gut feeling and predisposed ideology).

Yeah, I switched too, but the task manager I use now is a bit of a letdown compared to windows. It always shows the same processes, just the base os and the apps I installed and expressly start or autostart. There are no new obscurely named

I got to the point where I actually buy brother ink for my old brother printers, because it is not that expensive and I really don't want them to go out of business.

Having many tiny inconsequential rules allows you many daily transgressions. It helps you to keep the self delusion that you too are just a little Aussie larikin, and assuage your guilt when you call the cops on that neighbour stealing from

Sure! and sorry, this is entirely meta and more critique than criticism, so feel free to ignore. Your comments are, I have noticed, often terse but always very exacting. It is different to most other comments I read on this site, where the

I always have to read your comments twice. The first time often gives me the (implied) sense you are being deliberatively incendiary or unclear. The second read gives me a terse, narrow, balanced, unbiased and reasonable statement based on

I have had multiple Logitech devices fail on me with double click, battery and mouse wheel issues. But only after a few years or more. And they are one of only a few that do mice for larger hands. The thing that has only recently made me sw

Even if you are using windows, there is no reason to subject yourself to the bin fire that is Acrobat. Literally[0] every single other PDF program is better, faster, cheaper, easier to use than acrobat. Plus many of them don't randomly

There is a maxim I apply to all these sorts of stories - the best explanation of a rule, political or otherwise, is not its purported reason for existence, it is the results. If a rule performs so badly, and everyone wants it changed, it ju

The thing is, even just a few non party affiliate votes in parliament can have a huge impact. Both parties could get more of a chance of their pet policies being implemented under a multi party system. That is, if you were to take the polit

I fully agree with 1 & 2 at least. So I remapped capslock with delete and space with enter. (Numpad is too thoroughly embedded in my head to move it.) Easier/lazier than building a new KB. Though it does present some issues when us

Thanks for finding that! I remembered hearing Miyazaki talk about it in a docco, but couldn't confirm the details. It's amazing how, once it gets some legs, it is so hard to find anything but the same repeated story.

Apparently, (perhaps apocryphally), Miyazaki sent him a Katana with the message 'no cuts' to his masterpiece. I like to think whoever received it kept it to perhaps, if the opportunity presented itself, make some cuts to Weinstein

Clearly I did not use the cruise control on a C road. The lane assist seemed to be always on though, no obvious switch and menus deep I could not find a way to turn it off. That and the fact it mistook ice for lane marking is crazy. Bad UI?

I drove a Peugeot in the UK earlier this year, with all these features, including lane assist. And driving on the 'freeway' it was more or less good (when it could find the speed limit). On the B roads it had no more idea of what
