  1. Coding for the sake of coding. The same reason Gnome is a mess along with systemd. One could also argue design by committee.

  2. Some idiot probably opened an email attachment and hello ransomware!

  3. Re:Identity on As Google Maps Renames Neighborhoods, Residents Fume (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You need to get a life if your identity hinges on the correct naming of your residence.

    Wish I had mod points.

    Russia didn't hack the election. They hacked DNC emails and bought Facebook ads. Funny how Facebook was alright in taking that money until Hillary lost.

  6. The country needs a new boogeyman on Leaked Chats Show Alleged Russian Spy Seeking Hacking Tools (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Ever since 9/11 the country needed a new boogeyman to be scared of. We had the Taliban, then Saddam, then pedophiles, then ISIS, now it happens to be Russia. Trump used social media to get elected just like Obama did and now shit got real because the DNC gambled on Hillary and lost. I'm not a Democrat but I respect Bernie a hell of a lot more than Hillary.

  7. The problem is your free office program isn't 100% compatible with MS Office. You'll have problems with opening files people send you and vice versa. In that situation YOU appear as the problem.

  8. Public toilets would get dismantled and sold for scrap in a matter of hours.

  9. That picture was taken when Obama was president. How are the police paid and who do they report to? Tax money and politicians. They are government.

  10. Sounds exactly like the liberal paradise they all wanted. Always makes me think of this meme https://pics.me.me/wants-more-...

  11. Tell me about all this commercial software people are buying for iPads. Most people use them to consume content.

  12. An iPad comes with a full keyboard, an SD card slot, and the ability to run Linux?

  13. Gee it really takes a genius to figure out a Chromebook is not the product for you. They have their uses but this isn't a one size fits all solution.

  14. Re:Not much different from my recent Linux experie on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does your startup system include a caching DNS server?

  15. Re:Cars don't matter on Tesla Model 3 Outselling Small, Midsize Luxury Cars In US (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    Ford doesn't need to. They can't build trucks fast enough and have jacked prices way up.

  16. Re:Regular orders or filling back orders? on Tesla Model 3 Outselling Small, Midsize Luxury Cars In US (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    The way it works is the more you spend option wise the more you get bumped up in the queue. Realistically people are spending about $60k for a model 3.

    Move to FreeBSD, it is time. It's like Linux but written by rational adults.

  18. Nobody does those things with Bitcoin. That is why Monero was invented.

  19. How about hacked?

  20. You keep getting it wrong. Moore's law is transistor count.

    Because any other company would have tons of outrage and bad press. Tesla does it and its literal crickets chirping.

    If you think $60k is expensive for a new car then you haven't been car shopping lately. Ford managed to dupe people into thinking that is a normal base price for a *small* F-150 truck or SUV. Order a King Ranch and it's over $100,000.

  23. Re:No parts for you on The Rogue Tesla Mechanic Resurrecting Salvaged Cars (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    People are on Elon Musk's dick like a cult leader. Meanwhile he tries to control your property *after* you purchase it. The car always phones home and they can turn it into a literal brick with a mouse click. Imagine if Ford wouldn't allow anyone to make third party parts and meddled with software without your consent?

  24. Good job slashcode. https://www.newsweek.com/tsa-f...
