Finally, San Francisco cleans up the crap from its streets – yes, all those fscking scooters

Re: Surely the solution is simple

Great idea except for problem. If they cared about the scooters they would be picking up the abandon ones. Instead you get to see you tube videos of city works tossing them in the back of a skip by the dozens.

"IIRC China is the major holder of the USA national debt - not to mention significant assets."

Man that is just wrong on so many levels. China is the largest foreign holder of US debt followed by Japan then the Belgium. The Largest hold of US debt is Americans. Only 34% of the US debt is own by foreign entities.

Did you test that? No, I thought you tested it. Now customers have it and it doesn't work

Testing is for wimps. Real mean just ship it out and then cries like babies went it hits the fan.

Whois? Whowas. So what's next for ICANN and its vast database of domain-name owners?

I know people say it's because ICAAN is an American company but it takes a special kind hubris to go to court and say we want to enforce an illegal contract(requiring you to break the law). Oh yes we know it's an illegal contract but we want an exemption .

But with ICAAN stupidity they will either sue or terminate the contract.

Trio indicted after police SWAT prank call leads to cops killing bloke

"Is there no degree of indirect homicide, like the UK manslaughter, to cover such a case where the outcome was likely to be foreseen?"

Two charges are appropriate here . Felony murder (murder in the compression of crime). 2nd degree murder. That's when you did not intend to kill some, but reassemble person could fore see that your actions might lead to some ones death.

US websites block netizens in Europe: Why are they ghosting EU? It's not you, it's GDPR

Re: Am I mistaken?

So that means the moment any EU residents visits a web site the web site have to abide by the GDPR

Down vote me all you want but it's still a legit question. If have PDFs on website that is only about a products that are only sold in Canada would I still have abide by the GDPR if I have people looking at my web stie from the EU, even if my web site was not intend to do business in the EU?

Question, just because a website is accessible in the EU, does that mean it's doing business in the EU ?

FBI's flawed phone tally blamed on programming error. 7,800 unbreakable mobes? Er, um...

Was any one shocked that the number was grossly inflated ? Saying we has 1-200 founds we can't crack does not get the same response as saying we have close to 8,000 phones.

MacBook Pro petition begs Apple for total recall of krap keyboards

J@7 it's even worse than that. Remember when Nvida had a chip problem ? They offered to cover Apples cost of doing a recall and they said no. Then when apple did do a recall they said it had to be diagnosed with their special software. Well if yo don't have video you can't run the software. Well guess what happens if you can't run the software. Repair declined.

Europe fires back at ICANN's delusional plan to overhaul Whois for GDPR by next, er, year

Me personally there was never a need to make this info public If you need to get a hold of the owner of a domain contact the people that registered it. If there is a legit need then pass it on to the owner. This smacks of well this is how we always did it(tradition) and now one is going to make us change.

Lenvo does not remove the old COA. the school district we have has a stack of lenvo units that either have refurb or upgrade COAs on them and you clearly can see the old COA

We could also buy upgrade COA stickers or refurbished COA stickers . The refurbished COA would cost a $5 a pop but they computers had to meet certain standards.

Petty PETA rapped by judges over monkey selfie copyright stunt

you are so wrong. In 2008 the 9th heard 114,199 cases. 107 were over turned by the supreme court 33 were vacated 35 were affirmed . So over the cases that went to the supreme court yes 79% was overturned but that's 107 out of 114,199. Were are talking about les than 0.001% of all cases being over turned.

6th Circuit - 87 percent;

11th Circuit - 85 percent;

9th Circuit - 79 percent;

3rd Circuit - 78 percent;

2nd Circuit and Federal Circuit - 68 percent;

8th Circuit - 67 percent;

5th Circuit - 66 percent;

7th Circuit - 48 percent;

DC Circuit - 45 percent;

1st Circuit and 4th Circuit - 43 percent;

10th Circuit - 42 percent.

Still wrong
