  1. You'd think Itanium hardware would be near worthless on eBay but it's not. How else can you run OpenVMS these days?

  2. Weren't most of the bombs built by the IRA set in England?

  3. Skimmed the article and still had no idea. Journalism fail at all levels. Maybe I'm old but when I see IRA I think about assholes in England planting bombs.

  4. exactly do you break up a company who offers a service for free?

  5. We don't even have that anymore.

  6. Re:While they're at it on Google Investigating Issue With Blurry Fonts on new Chrome 69 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Chrome has a major UI re-design? Firefox is going to be pulling some late nights to catch up!

  7. The editors are trying to make this story sound scary like IBM is targeting brown people. There was a lull in news stories about Trump so they had to come up with something.

  8. You have to use newspeak terms now. When you hear about blacks committing crimes they are referred to as "youths" by the media.

    A Russian ass whoopin'.

    Came here to say the same thing. I twitter would fucking go away. It offers no benefit to society.

  11. Was he on An Abusive Silicon Valley CEO Is Going To Jail (cbslocal.com) · · Score: -1

    So was this guy a pajeet or camel jockey?

  12. You mean the smell of Harbor Freight?

  13. The FCC doesn't have the power to control the internet. All they can do is make sure the transmitters are operating within specifications. They don't have a say with things like packet latency or priority. The FCC can't make any new laws or regulations all they can do is make suggestions to congress. What they can do is issue fines and revoke broadcast licenses. A new agency is needed but I'm not exactly a fan of the government having a hand in everything.

  14. So again this has nothing to do with net neutrality just general incompetence.

  15. Haha you just invented sharecropping.

  16. Re:Microsoft OS is insecure on Microsoft Obliquely Acknowledges Windows 0-day Bug Published on Twitter (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I think my next build is going to be ESXI based so I can run OSX without too many hardware headaches. Keep a Windows VM for when you need it.

    As soon as Adobe makes a Linux build of their suite I'll switch over. Might as well call up SolidWorks and Pro/E while you're at it.

  19. You are wrong and also a cunt.

  20. Where does this money come from? All the people touting UBI all say to watch this video or read this paper yadda yadda. Bottom line is taxes will go up for middle class.

    You're an idiot. The barrel is metal and so is the bullet, along with springs and other items. What is stopping me from making the same device with a lathe and mill?

  22. Re:I STILL don't get it. on Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Administration on 3-D Gun Blueprint Case (latimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Judges and politicians are old and have no clue how the internet works much less 3d printers. This is like saying blueprints of firearms are illegal.

  23. Re:Another judge legislating from the bench on Federal Judge Rules Against Trump Administration on 3-D Gun Blueprint Case (latimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Who is manufacturing them? This is like Metallica suing Napster for distributing mp3 files. The judge says you can't download these files. What if you printed the text of these files into a book and sold it? Would that book be deemed illegal?

  24. Re:Wait what on Raspberry Pi's PoE HAT Ships For $20, Tosses in a Free Fan (linuxgizmos.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The whole point of the Pi project was to make a learning tool for students as cheaply as possible. There are hundreds of other single board computers out there with more features and bandwidth. Use the right tool for the job.

    How about a thorough audit of the code? Nah slap a band aid on some shitty code with more shitty code.
