  1. A normal amount of sleep is good for you. Who could have guessed?

  2. Re:Distro: Debian Change: Scrap Systemd on Linux Turns 27 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I still say it was a ploy by Redhat to bring in more support money. Here install this massive monstrosity that hasn't been tested and does many extraneous things a startup manager should never worry about. Trust us it will work fine. What is the reason for systemd having a caching DNS server?

    You really need new fantasies. Ever heard of pussy?

    Do IRC servers still require you to run ident?

    Find me someone who died from lung cancer caused by Marijuana use.

    Sounds like you had one too many drinks.

    the number of Marijuana deaths is zero.

  8. That stuff shouldn't be internet facing to begin with.

  9. Beautiful but also fragile. See Ferrari or Lamborghini.

  10. Re:PBS made a big mistake on Antenna Sales Are Rising, In Another Sign of Churn In TV Watching (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    The one PBS channel here seems to run thinly veiled sponsored content. Right now *Food: What The Heck Should I Eat?* is playing.

  11. Re:Persistent issue on Apple's Amsterdam Store Evacuated After iPad Battery Explodes (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a numbers game. A quick search shows they've sold over one *billion* iPhones since their inception. How many have caught fire over the years? Ten, twenty? Your troll game is weak.

  12. Who cares? on Does Gmail's 'Confidential Mode' Go Far Enough? (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    How are you going to complain about a fee service? Don't use it if you have a problem with the features.

  13. Re:Never understood the admiration on Tesla Short Sellers Actually Made Over $1 Billion After Musk's Taking-Private Tweet (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    South Africa is a shithole. The white people have reason to be racist. What they should do is flee that country and then you'll see how bad it really gets when its run by 100% blacks. Take your pic from adding more zeroes onto the currency weekly or having the country change names when a new "president" is "elected".

    If you're trolling you're doing a piss poor job.

    $60k is midrange for a vehicle now. Get out of your parents basement once in a while. Ford suckered people into spending $100k on a pickup truck.

  16. You think you need to be a 1%'er to afford a Tesla?

  17. Re: telnet has encryption on Encrypt NFSv4 with TLS Encryption Using Stunnel (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    For a while when sshd was having numerous buffer overflows telnet made more sense :)

    NFS was never meant to be used across WAN links.

    Linux has documentation? I've found most of it horribly outdated.

  20. New efficient washing machines that take two hours to complete a cycle but hey they only use a cup of water. Every fucking appliance at the store has those yellow stickers. What is the point?

  21. Re:This does prove something... on Science Confirms That Women's Pockets Suck For Smartphones (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Find me normal sized women's jeans with pocket sizes comparable to men's jeans. Women's clothes are also more expensive but that's due to the cut of the fabric.

  24. Re: right to repair need to give 3rd party's the c on The Man Who Jailbreaks Teslas (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    You're an idiot. ABS will stop you better in most cases than manually pumping brakes. It can modulate all four wheels independently and much faster than your foot. That's like saying modern airplanes are garbage because of fly by wire. Yeah you know better because you flew biplanes and who needs computers to fly a 777.

  25. Re: right to repair need to give 3rd party's the c on The Man Who Jailbreaks Teslas (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    If your tires are sliding on a surface then your brakes are ineffective at that moment. Every car with ABS let me steer while the tires were sliding on snow. I do agree with bad traction control though. Around here there is no such thing as a flat road, everything is on a hill. In some places you need a running start and bad traction control keeps cutting engine power so you'll never make it up.
