I actually see it as being rather simplistic to assume it's a symbiotic relationship instead of a parasitic one. Parasites can often implement methods to make themselves attractive or initiate the parasitic relationship, precisely, bec

You don't know the federal government very well then. It is _exactly_ why they do it. It is the sole reason why our government is deemed to have been "productive" by the number of laws it passes. Because the government is not

Hey, what are you up to in your back yard, neighbor? In ways I agree with you, in others I don't. You shouldn't just be able to "fly it wherever I damn well please" unless you own the airspace above or maybe if it's

Thank you. I now feel less stupid. I could not figure out what the heck it was all about. When I homebrew, there's alcohol involved.

by wahsd 13y ago
ok, I get it, I'm not part of the in-crowd. WTF is homebrew please? And can we please stop it with the sites that blather on about stuff in a way that assumes every visitor knows the jargon and slang.

Agree that it is really good. I think Chrome has gotten all the cool kids' attention without them having a respect and understanding for the mission and value of Mozilla and Firefox. That being said, Mozilla and Firefox could probably

I kind of wish they would focus on building out the bookmark functionality with some easier workflow, e.g., fixing functionality issues like only being able to accept auto-complete suggestions in tags with the right arrow keyboard button. I

I don't understand the issue. alt+d for address bar ctrl+k for search bar. What's so complicated?

Please recall the recent announcement that algorithms have surpassed human fidelity in facial recognition. On top of that recall a somewhat overlooked NSA/CIA/DIA project called TRAPWIRE that taps into all surveillance systems to

There really should be consequences like, for Australia, severing all shipments of raw materials to China or cancelling all imports from China and compensating any losses with any Chinese assets as a matter of national security. Or when the

I'm shocked. What? You imply that Silicone Valley is full of skeevy, narcissistic megalomaniacs. It is still the USA after all, the land of scam, fraud, and deception, and manipulation. But I have to say, a lot of these companies, AirB

You misunderstand; the hotel industry is not heavily taxed, the visitors, the guests, the business that pay for the stays are heavily taxed....not the hotel industry. It's typical American exploitative extortion tactics, especially of

But you live in the UK, which is still part of Europe, where people are still people that have rights. Your only right in the USA is the right to leave.

What happened is more of a change in cultural expectations that malls and their stale corporate overlords did not and were not able to adapt to. There is no reason that malls could not have been revamped and renovated to adjust, but I think

I don't agree that he is making good points. He is making points that are of the current mindset. I can see myself and others like me easily transition to that type of interaction until the next generation of customers, aka, kids grows

It actually is rather solidly into gambling territory. It's basically a worse version of pachinko or even slot machines. It's primary purpose is to draw the user in to addiction in an unregulated system of player manipulation. The

Wow. It's kind of sad how Sony seems to be just wasting away. I don't know what PS4 sales numbers are like relative to XBox or even the older systems, but it just feels like if XBox hadn't so royally screwed up with their non

Autobahn + Tesla car = pure dream – dead inexperienced high-speed driver that caused a 10 mile traffic jam and killed 4 people.

Not quite. I was thinking of a single crossing. At least in the US at many intersections the pedestrian light is synced with the parallel car traffic, which leads to a stream of people blocking right turn traffic due to a constant stream. I

Can't have those poor people taking over our streets, now can we? Feet don't make rich people money, cars do.

I played with Chromecast for about a couple weeks and just yesterday remembered I had totally forgotten about it. It's a typical Google product, released just after leaving Alpha state, marginally decent, of limited and disjointed util

Now if Chromecast just didn't suck so horribly. I mean, who doesn't like blurry resolution and dropped connections.

Sure would be cool if there was a way to make URLs, e.g., 3:20, linked in YouTube videos. That would be such a cool feature; you know, now having to manually type a URL from a video into an address bar. That would be innovation that Google

I don't know, I've witnessed it twice that I can recall and I don't even spend a lot of time walking around among traffic. I think the game might actually lower the risk profile since at least one pedestrian and possible obse

I was just thinking that there is really room for another innovation. Ever been a driver at an intersection where you have a turning green light at the same time as the pedestrians crossing the street you are trying to turn on and there is
