  1. Re:More crap to turn off on Microsoft Now Uses Windows 10's Start Menu To Display Ads (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I have several small Windows tablets. Winbook 7, Dell Venue 8 and a full Surface 3. The only problem i have with the small ones is storage space, other than that they work great. HDMI, full USB prot etc.

    Yes GAMES, not ads for other things like Redbull. Not even close to the same thing.

    NO it doesnt. I have NEVER seen a self-playing red bull ad (with an out of market language track) on Steam, EVER. Steam and Sony advertise vertically, MS advertises horizontally.

    GOOGLE IS NOT MICROSOFT. They are very different animals. Google doesnt live in my data center, MICROSOFT DOES. This is a massive change for MS when it comes to Enterprise. They NEVER used to do this stuff UNTIL google came along.

    If i was in management, i would be pissed at my employees wasting time and company resource shuffling cars around. Either get more ports or find another way to deal with it, but stop wasting company time on this crap.

  8. Re:Merry pranksters on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    I unplugged my neighbors car at least 5 times because he was charging off a power outlet in our condo complex's tool shed. He would come out every morning at 6 am to unplug it before our landscape workers showed up so he wouldnt get caught. I suppose if the guy wasnt a total douche bag i would have cut him more slack, but he was technically stealing.

    NO, you provide your own copies of that data, jsut like we have been doing for Doom 1 and 2 shareware versions since forever. I use the .wads/.paks from my steam copies of the games, works great.

    That argument flows both ways. The harsh environment cuts down on frivolous commits and forces people to really think before posting. It CAN create yes men, it doesn't necessarily do so. It can also create fiercely independent individuals willing to really fight for things they believe in.

    When it comes to computing, i just dont give a shit about personality or being an awesome person. Your work is all i care about. Its a meritocracy. I agree with Linus, if you dont want to be called out, dont do stupid shit.

    NO one gives a shit about Linux on the Desktop being anything more than it currently is, an alternative choice.. We are WAY beyond that. The computing world is a hell of a lot bigger than just desktop now.

    Linux took some serious fire up to and including SCO. I'd be pissed and brutal too if the world's biggest software companies tried to wipe my work out for nothing more than greed.

    Medallions themselves are not the problem. The problem is the LIMITED amount of them and the fact that they are transferable by private parties. Medallions should be unlimited for all comers who meet taxi criteria and cost a minor fee ($200 ish), thus removing the incentive for transfer. Licenses like this should always remain the property of the issuing governing body, and have no value beyond the processing fee.

    If you dont speak clear English in America, you simply dont get my business. I dont have time or patience to stumble thorough a communication barrier. Flat out, if you dont speak English in America, you shouldnt be in business at all. Its not being an ugly american to refuse to do business with someone who cannot communicate properly. If they cant speak English, how can i trust them to read road signs?

    Search engines operate on the First Amendment. You couldnt hang this on them even if you tried. ISPs and search engines are not really comparable at all. This is like trying to sue the phone company because bank robbers looked up the bank's address in the yellow pages.

    Bullshit. I had my card suspended because i sent $2.50 over paypal to a kid in the UK for some software. I went to get groceries later at my normal store and card declined. I was livid beyond belief. There is no excuse for that kind of incompetence over trivial amounts of money. Banking is based on trust, not ultimate security, having too sensitive fraud protection is not helpful to anyone.

    Fuck you. Comparing deaths with temporary incarceration is bullshit. Its not a great tragedy to be arrested and exonerated in comparison to being killed. Our wars should be DEFENSIVE, we simply should not be operating on that side of the fucking planet. You are arguments are tired and have no substance.
