Comment Useless at best (Score 1) 224

What is this intended for?
So, let's assume your submit the form to google and you are successfully removed, what does happen??

You are a EU citizen, and anybody using any Europe located IP, will not see the info you wanted to be removed in a search they do. Cool, so you won't see yourself appearing on the pages you search for...
Except that...
People outside Europe will still see relevant results without any problem. The info is not removed or blacklisted in google, it just doesn't appear into european search results. Use a proxy anywhere else, and you will see the results you wanted to be removed.

This is at best 100% useless, as it's trivially bypassed....

Comment PIN?? is it useful (Score 1) 213

OK, that's fine, but how is PIN code useful? Can't you just order on the web with your credit card without any PIN code? Can't you just pay for speedways in at least France and Italy without PIN?
To be honest I am wondering why there is even a PIN code on those cards given there are so many ways to use them without entering the PIN code.

Comment Are you looking for a work at google?? (Score 2) 195

Are you looking for a work at google?? If you don't, why do you post on this topic at all? All companies have different ways of evaluating people. If you don't want to work for google, you shouldn't probably even care about how they do search for their people. This amazes me, why would people even care about how google hires if they don't want to be hired by google at all???

Comment Re:Missing option: (Score 1) 443

Actually, what is the difference between passing on the right and being on the right lane (where you should be) while driving faster (but at legal speeds) than the slow idiot who stays on the left lane (where he shouldn't be)?
There shouldn't be any reason to pass on the right if idiots wouldn't stay on the wrong lane. So please first give fines to people staying on left lanes, and nobody would ever pass on the right.

Comment Re:High end phones have always been $650 (Score 4, Interesting) 329

I would say, only an idiot would spend $300+ on a china unknown brand without any kind of warranty and not even any test. Most devices like the one you describe won't ever get any OS upgrade anytime soon (or even CM), and generally have pretty low end components, like a very low response touchscreen, weak battery, etc...
$300+ for a chinese unknown device when you can get a Google Nexus 4 for $299, who's the idiot there...

Parrot Drives Robotic Buggy 182

grrlscientist writes "Proving that robots aren't just for people any longer, an African grey parrot, Pepper, has learned to drive a robot that was specially designed for him. Pepper, whose wings are clipped to preventing him from flying around his humans' house and destroying their things, now manipulates the joystick on his riding robot to guide it to where ever he wishes to go. This robotic 'bird buggy' was the brainchild of his human companion, Andrew Gray, a 29-year-old electrical and computer engineering graduate student at the University of Florida."

Submission + - There Are 26 Nuclear Power Plants in Hurricane Sandy's Path (vice.com)

pigrabbitbear writes: "Hurricane Sandy is about to ruin a bunch of people’s Mondays. In New York City alone, the storm has already shut down public transportation, forced tens of thousands to relocate to higher ground and compelled even more office jockeys to work from home. (Okay, that last part might not be so bad, especially for the folks that don’t actually have to work at all.) But if it knocks out power to any of the 26 nuclear power plants that lie directly in its path, the frankenstorm of the century will ruin Tuesday, too. Heck, a nuclear meltdown would probably screw up the entire week."
