  1. Re: Great, more "improvements" on Canonical Releases Snapcraft 2.14 For Ubuntu With New Rust Plugin, Improvements (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    A hammer is a very simple tool made to do a very simple job. There is very little to find "broken" with it. A better analogy would be an electric drill. There was nothing wrong with the first one I bought 25 years ago. But the one I own now is much, much better.

    If we followed that principle, I would be calling my friends on a phone hanging on my wall and saying, "Hey! Did you see gewihir's letter to the editor. Better stay off his lawn."

  3. Re: Edge on Linux and OS X could kill Firefox. on Microsoft Says Edge Browser Is More Power-Efficient Than Chrome (windows.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you forward bugs to the browsers developers then? Or do you have your user do it?

  4. Re:Uh, just pay extra on Millionaires: Raise Our Taxes To Address Poverty, Fix Roads (go.com) · · Score: 2

    I just realized where Ted Cruz gets his economic policies. He just quotes AC and takes out all the F-words.

  5. there has been studies

    That wasn't his fault. His executive functions were reduced because he received a text as he was typing.

    “In this case, the setting was disabled,” the official told the news agency. “In addition, the driver deviated from the suggested route and, as a result, entered the prohibited area.”

    User error, as usual

    The license is printed on a little sticker in the doorframe. You have to open the door to read it. By opening the door, you agree to the terms of the license.
    Just a guess.

  8. Re: Trump just says stuff on Trump Says He'd Make Apple Build Computers In the US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Now what do you think he would do if he became President?

    He would probably spend most of his time making it legal to "date" his daughter.

  9. Re:is it $5 a month? on Stephen Wolfram's Free Book Teaches the Wolfram Language To Kids · · Score: 2

    'noobs' refers to the linux distribution that runs on raspberry pi, not the user.

  10. shootings have gone down dramatically each decade

    No

    Maybe you were referring to mass shootings. Those only account for a small fraction of gun-related deaths each year, so we will ignore the distinction.
    I would wager that most Americans reading this post know someone who was killed by a firearm.

  12. Re:What Do Cobol jobs pay ??? on 3 Open Source Projects For Modern COBOL Development (opensource.com) · · Score: 1

    Plus the locations are invariably corporate headquarters where the mainframes are located.

    Why? So they do not have to carry the punch cards so far?

    Most COBOL programmers have an ocean between them and the mainframe since most of those jobs have been off-shored. I have run COBOL programs on half a dozen mainframes, and only one of them was less than a mile away.

  13. Re:Thanks, SJWs on Playboy Drops Nudity As Internet Fills Demand · · Score: 1

    The new SJWs are the anti-SJW crowd. For fuck's sake - Playboy is dying because you can watch women act out your most depraved fantasies and seemingly enjoy them for FREE!!!!

    You need to get off your high horse and relax. Perhaps some free porn might help.

    That is hilarious. Only 3 year olds believe in unfettered candor.

    He is as good as on Mars

    Until it is determined the RSL are formed by flowing vodka, I think Mr Snowden is a little better off.

    With all this talk about males and females, you might want to clarify which pair we should grow.

    Maybe you could put your phone down, and make my fucking burger.

    If you are manually editing content just to eliminate something you could have easily spent 30 seconds ignoring, then you are in serious need fo some therapy.
