Comment Re:Browser Makers Should Get The Message (Score 4, Insightful) 353

Having them as addons is the browser makers getting the message. Some people want what an addon does, some people don't. Providing capability for addons to deliver functionality is giving people exactly what they want, and not burdening them with stuff they don't want.

Or would you rather have your browsers provided as bloatware full of functionality you don't want and can't get rid of?

Because it may not be the end user who has done the overclocking. The supplier may have in order to claim a higher spec to the hardware than NVidia is willing to support.

Also, by providing the option it could be claimed that NVidia is supporting the option. That makes them liable if it causes a problem, particularly something nasty like overheating and an electrical fire.

The whole idea is riddled with problems just waiting to happen. How will they know I live where I say I live? Are they going to verify that?

What's stopping me registering the property of a drone operator so they can't fly in their own property?
What's stopping me entering my address, and all of my neighbours?
If a drone still flies over my property, who do I sue?
If the last owner of my house made it a no-fly zone, but I want to fly drones in my back yard, how do I remove my house from the list?
What's stopping me asking to remove other peoples' house from the list?
Does having a drone flying one foot outside of my property boundary really differ from a drone flying one foot inside my property boundary? It can still see over my property.

Self appointed vigilantes are never a good thing, that's why you should be taking issue with this.

Because it's mob justice. Because it presumes guilt without a fair trial. Because each vigilante works to their own personal agenda, which may not exactly be what they claim to be and may not be what you agree with. Because vigilantes have nothing to show they know what they're doing. Because, well, what could possibly go wrong...

Never under-estimate the ability of a random poster to point out, after 2 minutes thought, things that so-called experts have jointly devoted hundreds of years of studying to, yet completely over-looked. Like they were total morons.

It's what makes internet forums the font of all human progress, and not ill-informed stupidity.
