So anybody who ever criticizes or ridicules anything even once and a while has a bad attitude? By your logic nobody should ever say anything to point out problems. Enjoy your unchanging world where nothing ever improves because nobody is allowed to report problems.
Really? Please tell us how not filling the unknown with fairy tails is ridiculous.
How would you like it if you went to watch some important event and they spent a huge chunk of the event talking (or in this case even singing!) about how wrong you and your ways are.
It is quite ridiculous. It seems that despite political correctness advancements, it would still be impossible for an atheist (that is, anyone who is not terminally insane yapping about jebus and imaginary sky fairies) to become president in the USA.
Lets get this straight, people: THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS GOD!
One has to be pretty drooling stupid to believe in that child-molesting garbage, yet in front of the people who are supposed to be running this country they have these retarded blathering idiots going on about their magic sky daddies and friends.
It is one thing to make a president swear on some 2000 year old book of BS because tradition. But there no excuse for the rest. None at all.
As an atheist it reminds me that I am not represented and that people would still be happy to come at me with their torches and pitchforks.
Here we go, the usual slashdot moan-fest when there's any Firefox news.
You know what, guys? Get over it.
Who the fuck modded this troll as "Insightful"? If the consensus of this web site is just to take it up the ass while big corps rape us silly... well, I guess that those are the only kinds of people left on this site since Slashdot totally fucked up the layout, added stupid videos and retarded twitter/facebook shit.
Tell, you what. You shitheads enjoy your corporate assfucking. I'm out of here.
Wow, this article really pulls a conclusion out of its butt. They look at some vague web statistics, notice that Windows 7 has gone up a tad - likely due to seasonal usage differences or many other things - and then draw a wild conclusion that people are using it to get Windows 10?!
They are probably getting kickbacks from Microsoft for posting it.
Seriously, how does Microsoft get away with this shit? Virus scanners should block this "update" as malware. And Microsoft should be sued. Your average Windows 7 user isn't going to know how to uninstall this crap.
But among other things, an Apple I represents one of the early beginnings in the computing world. You can't get much closer to the direct early work of Woz and Jobs. Apple Is are indeed very rare. Supposedly most Apple Is were traded in for discounts on Apple IIs, so few were left in the general public. The parts themselves are rare. Woz chose some parts that weren't even incredibly common at the time - so it is difficult to build accurate replicas. (An Apple II replica, in contrast can be built from mostly from parts that are still available new)
There is actually quite a bit of demand for vintage items that similarly represent various "beginnings". Such as TRS-80s, Commodore PETs, Apple II/II+s, IBM 5150 PCs, etc, but those are common enough they can often be had for a few hundred dollars.
Sadly this kinds of thing happens every day. I'm surprised that a "recycler" even caught it before sending it off to a third world landfill. I dare say any manuals and software the owner had went directly in to the regular trash.
You can't keep it all, but for anything roughly 1980s or earlier vintage, it might be worth at least having a local computer geek taking a look at it before sending off for "recycling". Slashdotters probably already know this, but it would be good if people could get the word out. Big corps have the masses too well trained that anything more than a year or to old must be disposed of.
There are actually whole communities around vintage gear. If anyone has questions trying to identify old hardware or software, feel free to drop in at http://www.vintage-computer.co... and ask!
Ick. I've never understood why people get tattoos. While I can respect the idea of using the human body as a canvas for art, it just doesn't come across as such. Perhaps it is just the way my brain is wired, when I see a tattoo my brain instinctively registers it as "damage" and that the person may be injured or ill. Certainly others must have the same instinctive reaction, yet it seems even more people are doing that these days.
Are you paying Google for Google Maps? You don't own the product, you don't even lease/rent it. Since it is a web application, they can discontinue it at their discretion.
Presumably companies and businesses that appear prominently on there DO pay Google something. And it should be obvious that it is in those businesses' best interests if users can find their businesses quickly, easily, reliably, and in a familiar way, even if it means using an older better version.
Same here, except after a point I'd go further and discourage others from visiting advertisement abusive sites. If they already do scummy things like that, then the site can not be trusted to not serve up malware or similar in the future.
Case in point, the other day I happened to notice that the old Dilbert.com web site is now serving up abusive pop-under window advertisements. Yes, the current Adblock catches this, but this tells me that this site can no longer be trusted. So I have removed various links to that web site, I won't visit it again, and I encourage others to avoid it.
Capped internet? When is this allegedly happening? Bandwidth keeps going up. Internet speed keeps going up. New tech is always making it bigger.
You must not live in the US. With a few exceptions, most ISPs have just let their infrastructure rot and gouge their customers who have no choice. All while newer cell phone internet happily charges $$$ by the megabyte.
This is further compounded by some websites sticking up a dialog box telling me to register or "Like" them on Facebook if I want to continue browsing their content.
Fuck Facebook with a big splintery wooden dildo. Up the ass both ways until their eyes pop out.
There, had to be said.:)
I suspect we'll be seeing more of this in future, meaning that I'll soon have to re-install NoScript just to browse without being nagged.
Recently I've noticed an increase in the number of sites that use scripting to load their content. Without, you get nothing. You can bet that once they wise up to tools that block certain scripts or parts of scripts, they will intermingle ad loading and content loading in such a way to make it much harder if not impossible to block ads.
Meanwhile, the company I'm at has teams at less than half strength, pretty much every silicon valley perk you can think of, great working conditions, very high pay, and just can't find people to fill the positions,
But have you seen your job listing requirements? 9000 years of experience in something that has been around for 9 seconds? Extensive experience in some obscure internal application that only 5 companies in the world run? Try accepting that you might have to TRAIN some actual human beings, and perhaps you will find you can adequately fill the positions.
Just watch these caps get raised (instead of slashed like they should) just because these billionaire mofos can bribe the right people. And face it, that is the ONLY reason these caps would be raised.
Increasing foreign outsourcing increases American jobs? Wow, they really don't live in reality do they. Take away their billions, let them go unemployed for a few years, then let them try and find a job, and see if they are still singing the same tune.

Yea, I'll be sure to do that :P
Also there is no such thing as an afterlife or an "immoral soul."
Excuse me for stating what should be completely obvious.

>Any "American" company or individual that gives away American jobs to foreign countries are traitors to the USA and should be publicly murdered.
Sounds good to me. I'll get the rope.
If U.S. companies don't want to hire U.S. workers, then these companies need to stop pretending, and just get the fuck out of the U.S altogether.

Additionally, what do you think the so-called loyalty/advantage/discount cards are for? They are used to track your purchases and market at you.
The upshot is, once facial recognition comes to all of these stores, such tracking cards will become obsolete.
Expect hoodies, masks, or anything else like that to be completely illegal soon.
In fact, check your local bank. Mine already forbids wearing hats and sunglasses. Don't even think about wearing a mask in one.
Don't pretend for one second that rules like this won't slowly continue to expand elsewhere.

Anything involving Apple is a bit nuts.

This story has been brought to you by your dice.com overloads.
Which makes it even more disturbing...
Wonder that the health benefits are like. :P
I think that was on Family Guy.
Which is exactly how normal people obtained software back then. Most cheap computers didn't come with that much useful software pre-installed.
Don't forget to click the buttons below to share this on facebook and twitter :P
Already forgot what else I was going to type :P

Yep, told you so.
I'd hope somebody keeps a public list of machines that are locked down. Although that probably won't keep the masses from buying.
This is "optional" for OEMs in the same way as they have the option to have MS break their legs or not.
