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.

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

kain preacher

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 .

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

kain preacher

"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

kain preacher

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

kain preacher

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?

kain preacher

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

MacBook Pro petition begs Apple for total recall of krap keyboards

kain preacher

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

kain preacher

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.
