  4. Re:Hard to read on How is The New York Times Really Doing? (om.co) · · Score: 1

    I have the same problem in here :D

  5. They hide worldwide profits in a tax haven, but now they want to pretend they didnt do that.. Boo Hoo.

    And Ireland isn't allowed to be a tax haven under EU Law. Also as I recall the European Commission targeted the Irish & Dutch governments to claim taxes that were owed after they had illegally under EU Law failed to collect the taxes in the first place.

  6. I call publicity stunt

    Actually Android runs on a Linux Kernel so you could say most of them are running Linux

  9. Re:So what is the correct dosage on B Vitamins Reduce Schizophrenia Symptoms, Study Finds (newsmax.com) · · Score: 1

    So which B Vitamins exactly and in what dosages? Are there side effects at those dosages?

    The articles specify B6, B8 & B12. As for the qty the article only specifies large doses which is clinically fucking useless.

  10. So when do we get Fake Jobs?

    Oh, the irony of an antivirus program running on a BSD-based OS being the vulnerability.

    Should have installed Windows Defender

    I was amused when you laughed at the iPhone and then belatedly came out with Windows Phone, only to crash in the marketplace.

    Although I agree with most of what you said you do realize that M$ had a Mobile OS which was used successfully on phones & PDA's a nearly decade before Apple brought out the IPhone.

  16. This could also be used to prove/disprove theories that some Pharaohs may have ruled concurrently rather than consecutively.

    Just a thought

  17. Could be worse they could be running a private Email Server

    Ah yes, 4GL.

    Actually the Language is irrelevant I know devs who use it to code in Java, C++, C and the current version will do .net out of the box. The 4GL you speak of is just the default because back when it first came onto the scene 4GL's were shiny and new and a lot of folks still maintain legacy apps.

    I see you have no clue as to how networking works.

    So you're running this over your own private internet with no contention

    That doesn't even make sense unless you assume that the webserver is limiting how much bandwidth each requested item is allotted, and not how much bandwidth each requesting IP is allotted.

    because my ISP would never throttle my bandwidth

    If you go to a page with a lot of images, the common sense approach would be to load them in order, one at a time. Instead, all browsers do the same stupid thing - try to load all 30 images at the same time, leaving you sitting there looking at 30 partial images.

    So you'd rather wait 6 times as long to load a page one component at a time?
