  1. Re: Proud of their work..but does it matter? on New OS/2 Warp Operating System 'ArcaOS' 5.0 Released (arcanoae.com) · · Score: 1

    great DOS support

    But would it run X-COM: UFO Defense?

  2. It's not unless you're a tightwad business owner who's after the cheapest possible labor at all costs.

  3. Re: Feel good story of the day? on Federal Agents Used a Stingray To Track an Immigrant's Phone (detroitnews.com) · · Score: 2

    I think we should refer to drug dealers as "undocumented pharmacists."

  4. medicine would only be returned to about its state in 1910, or perhaps 1900

    Incorrect, due to a number of factors: in the early 1900's, most people weren't subsiding on diets primarily consisting of nutritionally-devoid, pesticide-ridden, genetically-modified sludge processed primarily from wheat, corn and soy. They received more exercise on average as well as more sunlight (the pharmaceutical industry's efforts to vilify sunshine - one of the most important parts of a healthy lifestyle and an obvious threat to their profits - have been wildly successful) and lived far less complicated, stressful lives.

    It'll be a royal shitshow... and go a long way towards mitigating the population problem. Sit back and enjoy your [ADM; Cargill] factory-farmed popcorn. :)

    All forms of regulation are bad, if you're a billionaire looking to keep the spigot flowing.

    Except their desire to regulate TCP/IP packets, which of course is what this is all about.

  6. Re: Hackers Paradise on China Is On Track To Fully Phase Out Cash (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Those who insist on not having a bank account are those who want to skip alimony payments.

    Nice strawman, fuckface. Go off yourself.

  7. So when we're watching early 1900's dogfights, we should actually hear the roar and hiss of air and fuel flowing through updraft carburetors?

  8. Re: Don't care anymore, switched to Devuan. on Debian 8.8 Released (debian.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Relax. He's not trying to encourage random people to switch to BSD; he's trying to encourage intelligent people to switch.

    You're safe. :)

  9. Re: CMU Confirms: IMAP Is Dying on After 19 Years CMU Discontinues Cyrus IMAP In Favor Of Microsoft Exchange And Gmail (cmu.edu) · · Score: 2

    Now that CMU sold their entire robotics division to Uber, maybe they can develop their AI in an Excel macro.

  10. Re: no on Ask Slashdot: Is ReactOS A Serious Alternative To Windows? (reactos.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nice attempt to portray Linux as "legacy" when it's as cutting-edge as it gets.

  11. Not to mention, an open source knock-off of a Yugo (regardless of whether the unwashed masses - not professional drivers - have standardized on Yugos) isn't likely to actually be good. We'll stick with our Batmobiles. ;)

  12. Re: Did the court know it was a reenactment? on Cop Fakes Body Cam Footage, Prosecutors Drop Drug Charges (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    ...but if the officer attempted to pass-off the footage as legitimate then he needs to be found in-contempt.

    As well as charged for fabricating evidence.

    Gee, I can't imagine...

  14. Let's put sensors on Walmart so we can avoid the fucking place.

  15. Don't be obtuse; it's Harvard.

  16. I'm still waiting for someone to make an oral sex joke about Merkel and Putin so that heteros everywhere have an "excuse" to claim offense...

  17. This is where I'm at, my first Slackware box would be old enough to drink at this point

    Nicely aged perhaps but likely still rather undrinkable...

  18. I believe the issue with DVDCSS relates to copyright (DMCA), not patents.

  19. It's all relative (as they say in Arkansas and Afghanistan); perhaps they're denser than the author's head.

  20. No doubt; too bad it's in the Middle East...

  21. Funny how someone reads contempt and sarcasm in written form and perceives aggression. The "aggression" might be there, it might not... but there's definitely plenty in your head. You're young, aren't you?

  22. Thanks; I learned something new, though it's self-evident in retrospect. Perhaps Project Habakkuk would've been more viable on a larger, [Antarctic] scale...

  23. Re: Can you get water from rag-heads? on UAE To Drag Iceberg From Antarctica To Solve Water Shortage Set To Last 25 Years (express.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    In the American West, nothing grows without irrigation.

    The American West grows meth-heads. There's also dryland farming...

  24. Whoosh... to you as well as to all the "high functioning" autistics who modded it troll; it was obviously sarcastic.
