  1. Re:One question on You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Aren't more options a good thing? Personally, I'll probably never do it, but the option to do it is nice in the event you ever find yourself needing to (for some god forsaken reason).

  2. Re:Born Parasites on California Governor Proposes Digital Dividend Aimed At Big Tech (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    How do you pull all of this off? You want low taxes, but at the same time you want to offer a load of services that would have to be paid for with taxes.

    Easy, drop all the bullshit entitlement programs and focus on services that benefit productive members of society.

  3. Re:Camera shyness is worse when a person holds it on Google Glass is Still Around (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    As the old saying goes: out of sight, out of mind. If it's not obvious somebody is being recorded, then they don't think about it and hence don't get nervous about being recorded.

  4. I thought that Tim Cook was supposed to be some sort of supply-chain master?

  5. Re:Few Good Solutions for Industry with Regulation on Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls For Laws To Tackle 'Shadow Economy' of Data Firms (time.com) · · Score: 1

    We have a winner

  6. Re:Why use 5g? on First 5G Remote Surgery Completed In China (ubergizmo.com) · · Score: 1

    I would imagine something like this would be the most useful in unstable areas where a more permanent infrastructure isn't possible, such as war zones and what not. Being able to operate on, say, soldiers remotely would be a pretty big benefit I'd think.

  7. Re:clearly false advertising on Verizon Says It Won't Launch Fake 5G Icons Like AT&T Did (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Dynamic routing protocols "advertise" routes. Does that make routers liars?

  8. 10nm eh? I'll believe it when I see it. This announcement just reeks of a desperate attempt to try and take the steam out of AMD's 12nm chips that just launched.

  9. Re:Intel shits bed massively, hires cleaning crew on The Elite Intel Team Still Fighting Meltdown and Spectre (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Whoops, my bad.

  10. Re:Intel shits bed massively, hires cleaning crew on The Elite Intel Team Still Fighting Meltdown and Spectre (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Wrong! You're thinking of some of the Spectre variants.

  11. I couldn't agree more. Had they had an SE2 (with waterproofing, wireless charging, and the Taptic engine) I would have happily bought one. But instead I went for a pre-owned SE from Best Buy for a fraction of price.

  12. People bought fewer iPhones because there's really no compelling reason to, mainly because I lack the vision my predecessor had and his gravy train is running out of steam.

  13. Re:we believe on Google Denies Altering YouTube Code To Break Microsoft Edge (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't put it past any of the big tech firms to play dirty. I'd be shocked if anyone could name a major tech firm that HASN'T played dirty.

    Red Hat?

  14. Should be a big hit with IBM management.

  15. Re:Well this is a new one. on Former Edge Browser Intern Alleges Google Sabotaged Microsoft's Browser (ycombinator.com) · · Score: 2

    A Microsofty complaining their cool little piece of tech was ruined by vast heartless corporation using a virtual monopoly. Does he see the irony there? Or the karma?

    He (the intern) is probably too young to even remember those days.

  16. Re:Cool, so back to emulators. on Nintendo Warns It Won't Make More Retro NES and SNES Consoles (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, don't sell shit that doesn't belong to you. It's common sense.

  17. Re:Does Real Estate agent count? on What Are Silicon Valley's Highest-Paying Tech Jobs? (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Yeah no. I have friends that are agents. They work their asses off for their money, while I'm here sitting at home all day making about the same.

  18. Re:Cool, so back to emulators. on Nintendo Warns It Won't Make More Retro NES and SNES Consoles (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Back to no-profit-for-Nintendo emulators then.

  19. And in another year.. on 'Blockchain Developer' is the Fastest-Growing US Job (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And in another year, will be the fastest dying US job.

  20. Bigger, Longer & Uncut.

  21. Re:What is x32? on Linux Kernel Developers Discuss Dropping x32 Support (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't think of a system that needs no more than 4GB, but needs the extra performance of 32bit addressing space.

    It would be nice to have on x86_64 embedded systems with limited memory such as these, which are commonly used for networking gear.

  22. Re:Quake Fulfilled Doom's Promise on Doom Turns 25: The FPS That Wowed Players, Gummed Up Servers, and Enraged Admins (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Quake had network gameplay with Quakeworld>

    Technically, Quake had network gameplay before Quakeworld, it just used TCP rather than UDP, so it was awfully laggy when moving.

  23. Re:I have only two words to mark this occasion. on Doom Turns 25: The FPS That Wowed Players, Gummed Up Servers, and Enraged Admins (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Did somebody say IDKFA?

  24. Some good listenin' for the occasion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  25. Re:Windows will run on a Linux kernel too on Microsoft is Building a Chromium-powered Web Browser That Will Replace Edge on Windows 10: Report (windowscentral.com) · · Score: 1

    Next thing they will be replacing the Windows kernel with the Linux kernel with a Win32 compatibility layer for running Windows apps on Linux

    Not if the GPL has anything to say about it.
