Have I got this straight? A car with autopilot (or whatever its called this week) disables itself if the driver isn't paying attention. Surly that means no driver and no autopilot == more chance of a crash?
boolean chart----
Driver non attentive no autopilot max risk
Driver non attentive autopilot lower risk
Driver attentive no autopilot some risk
Driver attentive autopilot lowest risk
Wont affect me, I use SWMBO for all my autopiloting from the pub !
The real reason we don't hear from alien life forms is because we are in the shit universe. My theory is, there is some technology, which we haven't discovered, but is not far from our level of development that will allow life to leave this (shit) universe and simply go somewhere better. So the reason we dont have any signals from aliens is because they have simply buggered off.
Its now time for me to have my medication and rest for a bit.!!!
Rimmer: Let's go to blue alert
Kryten: You certain sir, it does mean changing the light bulb switching on for for at least 5 seconds then have it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on and the bulb will flash on and off 3 times, unless we're on old firmware in which case we have to do is have the bulb off for at least 5 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 2 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 2 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 2 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds then turn it on for 8 seconds then turn it off for 2 seconds
In two minds about this.
I'm all for equal rights etc but I can't help feeling that rather than women's wages going up, we'll see men's wages going down.
Just like when pensions and insurance premiums were equalized - they didn't go down for men, but up for women.
Come to think of it was this study just gender? Surely other minorities may want these stat collated as well?
Just my thoughts, upvote/downvote as you see fit. Enjoy the weekend everyone.
Dear Bill,
You and I were, if not best buddies, certainly people that got on. For 30 odd years we have had a special relationship, DOS, 3.1 WIN95/98 (cough Vista). And you know what I even told my mates how good you were. Things were sweet.
Then win 10.
F*ck you
F*ck you in the a*** with a f****** 10 inch c******r sidewards
F*ck you until you f******g f*****d up f*****d f*****s f*ck off.
I've now gone to linux Mint and will now be converting all my non-tech mates over to it.
So yeah, its not going to be the year of Linux, but y'know, we, the tech nerds support our family and friends and when we tell them to fuck windows off, you are sliding down a slippery slope.
For the record, el Reg users, I held off going to Linux for years. All I can say is what was I thinking? Mint is a fantastic piece of software and is now on my laptop and my friends. Works great and to top it off, no fucking fucked up fucked ribbon.
So one more time
FUCK U MS.
(bit of a rant, soz people)
restored with asterisks by El Mod because it was quite a funny rant really, if a bit too sweary for normal service
