  1. They let Jimmy Savile fuck everyone from children to the elderly. Keep up the good work!

  2. Well for one thing Tesla isn't making any profits.

  3. Rich on Scott Pruitt Resigns as EPA Administrator (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Go ahead and find me a poor politician, I'll wait.

  4. Can you even tell 480p video from 720p on a four inch phone screen?

  5. You're the moron on 'Plugspreading' is an Abomination (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No wall wart made in the last 15 years has used a transformer to step down. Switching supplies use small ferrite types but they don't get nearly as warm under load.

  6. Re: Did series creators or writers ever... on The BBC Is Heading To Court To Hunt Down a Doctor Who Leaker (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I liked Capaldi because hew as kind of grumpy like the first doctor. He plays guitar in real life so I guess that carries into the show.

    The show jumped the shark when it became all about Clara. Especially the episode where Matt Smith spent a thousand years at the Christmas planet? What the fuck?

  8. Re:Two words: Duke Lacrosse on Investigators Claim They've Discovered D.B. Cooper's Identity (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 0

    So they worked the case for only 45 years then instead of 47? What a relief!

    I'm more concerned why the government is wasting resources on cases like this. Meanwhile you can call up the FBI and give them the name of a person who is going to shoot up a school and they toss it in the trash.

  10. Re:Going to include the Obama campaign? on Federal Facebook Probe Now Includes FBI, SEC: Report (apnews.com) · · Score: 2

    In case anyone is wondering about the hypocrisy, read this article https://www.theguardian.com/wo...

  11. Re:Trolls? on Reddit's Case for Anonymity on the Internet (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    Trolling used to be a subtle art. You had to post something just outrageous enough to cause a stir. Then people weren't sure if you were serious or not. That was trolling.

  12. The FCC knows pirates don't have a few million laying around to buy a license. They might have a few thousand laying around to pay fines though. Although you can appeal fines down for pennies on the dollar.

  13. That was the original job of the FCC. To make sure your transmitter was operating correctly. Then later they became the morality police and lately people think they should control the internet. I don't believe they are the right agency for that job. The only powers they have are issuing fines and managing licenses. It must be where I live but I have yet to hear any pirate FM stations or even shortwave pirates on 6925KHz. I heard a guy in West Virginia who thought it was still the 1970s on his kilowatt CB rig. He was stronger than any of the local CB guys.

  14. We'd all be better off on Homeland Security Subpoenas Twitter For Data Breach Finder's Account (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    if Twitter just went away one day. It's a part of the culture at this point and collectively making everyone dumber.

  15. Re:Windows 10 is ready on ComputerWorld Says Newest Windows 10 'Isn't Ready for Prime Time' (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure my next desktop is going to be OSX running inside ESXi. Enable GPU passthrough and you're good to go.

  16. Re:Google downranks it's value on Google Downranks 65,000 Pirate Sites In Search Results (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Their search accuracy is getting worse every day. They regularly ignore keywords in my searches so I then have to put quotes around them and even then a lot of times they still get ignored. For example last night I'm looking over beers at the store and decide to see what the IBU rating was for one brand. I type in the name of the beer followed by IBU. Google totally ignores IBU and strikes it out every time for all 10 results. Put quotes around IBU and hey what do you know it takes me right to the brewery's website where the information is listed.

  17. Just once on Study Suggests There's No Limit On Longevity (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd like to read something where Trump was not the topic and was not mentioned. Let it fucking go already.

  18. Re:Anticipated on Microsoft Removes 'Sets' Tabbed Windows Feature From Next Release (groovypost.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My biggest gripe is updates going on in the background and thrashing the hard drive for a few hours.

  19. the fuck did I just read?

  20. Re:Bank-grade security key? on Home Security Camera Sends Video To Wrong User (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It may be marketing speak but it isn't wrong. They must mean HTTPS.

  21. Re: they are not screwing anyone on AT&T Is Screwing Customers By Almost Tripling a Bogus Fee (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    I pay $30/mo for Black Wireless. After 2Gb data is throttled but it's not like I'm torrenting or watching movies either.

  22. Re:Meanwhile, at the other end of the scale ... on Finally, It's the Year of the Linux... Supercomputer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    I'd take an Apple desktop any day over whatever garbage Gnome is churning out.

  23. How does IBM do it? on OpenBSD Chief De Raadt Says No Easy Fix For New Intel CPU Bug 'TLBleed' (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    How does IBM do hardware partitioning with their POWER chips? I had a box that was partitioned off with PowerVM and decided to run Linux on bare metal. Linux only saw the tiny RAM an CPU slice that PowerVM ran inside. Not until I cleared the hardware with the service processor did Linux see the rest of the resources.

  24. Funny how you claim to know more than the man who came up with the law. He predicts it will end around 2025. Time will tell https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  25. CPUs are getting faster, not GHz wise but every new generation has better benchmark numbers than the previous. I'd call that "faster".
