Comment Glorified toys (Score 1) 69

This is insane. Take a child's toy, make it bigger and put a motor and a battery on it, and then expect people to ride it in the road, with cars around them? It's just as bad as having them on the pavement (sorry, "sidewalk") where they are a hazard to pedestrians. At least with kids riding their original, human-powered push along scooters you know it's a child and you make allowances. But whose riding these things? Idiots, that's who. But not such idiots as the ones made up this stupid, stupid law, who obviously don't live in the same world as the rest of us. They're not even a good method for my signature...

Comment Re:Solution to A without a caternary (Score 1) 283

I didn't know what a catenary was until today.
I'd worked out it would be similar to two right angled triangles so did the upper bound part. I wouldn't have thought of the lower bound and mid value part of it though. So my answer was too big :(
I didn't even think about (b) :(

Comment Re:Software Drivers for GRAPHICS CARDS (Score 1) 184

What a load of absolute shit. I switched to nouveau since I didn't like getting warning messages from wine when using the nvidia driver. Both work perfectly well however.

I have to restart my piece of shit w10 work tablet several times a day because it freezes or otherwise fucks up, the company db app crashes often. When there are updates it fucks up even though they've been tested by the IT dept.

Meanwhile my battered old refurbished laptop with Arch Linux chugs along quite happily, when I installed Arch it automatically selected the correct graphics driver to use. If one hadn't been available it would have used a lower level driver, still perfectly functional, just less featured. Oh wait, that's what Windows does too!

Nobody has to compile a custom kernel so that their graphics card drivers can install themselves. You don't need a PhD if you do re-compile, just patience and enough brains to follow some guides.
