  1. Re:Why did this do it this way? on DNSChanger Shut-Down Means Internet Blackout Coming For Hundreds of Thousands · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is disconnecting hundreds of thousands of infected machines really a problem?

  2. Pull the plug on DNSChanger Shut-Down Means Internet Blackout Coming For Hundreds of Thousands · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is anyone else sick of hearing about this?

    Just shut the servers down already and be done with it.

  3. Re:Typical Apple Hater whining on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    Apple are upset that Samsung have a vastly superior product. So they try to block it from competing, this is the move of a sore loser.

  4. Re:What about developers? Real gamers? on Bill Gates: the Traditional PC Is Changing · · Score: 1

    Why don't you drive to work in a 40 ton truck, or go grocery shopping in one?

    I've done both those things.

    Your analogy fails, just like comparing a mainframe to a cell phone. Tablets are the same size as laptops, especially when the tablet has a blutooth keyboard.

    I thought is was called "Wine" after the Linux users who found out their games wouldn't play.

    Any halfway competent software engineer or system administrator knows that.

    But does Marketing know that?

    I remember once it was geocities.com/somedouche then livejournal.com/sometwat then myspace.com/someshitband

    Am I seeing a pattern here?

    I'd say the marketing department is interfering with things they don't understand.

  9. Re:I DON'T WANT A TABLET on Bill Gates: the Traditional PC Is Changing · · Score: 1

    But you can get a tablet with a keyboard attached. I believe they call it a laptop.

    I have a laptop. It does anything a tablet can do. Plus more.

    Wait until countries like Pakistan and Iran get in on this. All western women will need to be deported for stoning.

    Ok I'll tell my user to copy their files to removable media.

    You teach them how to use the command line.

    I win!

  16. Re:really?? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    False. If it's supported by CLI, any user can script it and build a GUI easy, suddenly you don't need to type any commands on the CLI.

    Nobody knows how to build GUIs at least not in the real world. Go out and interact with normal people and you'll find that only a rare minority know how to do scripting. There's a good reason so many companies employ IT staff, the average normal person knows nothing about technology.

  17. Re:Just what they want Linux to become ? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    Why can't they just leave Linux alone?

    Because they *gasp* want to improve it.

  18. Re:really?? on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 0

    Spot on, one of the reasons the "Year of the Linux Desktop" has never arrived is because Linux nerds don't understand usability. The average user doesn't want command lines, which is why Windows is so user friendly.

    Actually the Government can pass legislation to get around court rulings.

    How do you explain that a "mistake" was made when the site is so "obviously not a gambling website", eh?

    Someone put that "gambling" tag on that site, eh? Is it likely that the person who put that tag on donate.fsf.org did it purely by mistake when it is so obviously not a gambling site?

    Oh, so you're one of these people who think malware, spam and virus filters are edited exclusively by humans?

  24. Re:That pay is just for the first few months on Apple Store Employees Soak Up the Atmosphere, But Not Much Cash · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Apple store is a touch above that since it's either computer work (genius bar) or customer service. (people on the floor)

    Both positions are just retail sale jobs.
    The customer service people sell products and the "Genius" Bar get people to buy replacements.

    Yes, they do. about 80% of my search traffic comes from them.
