  1. Nope. That isn't how Moores Law works.

    Are you fucking retarded? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  2. Glad you pointed out this idiot who keeps saying Moore's law is dead. He posts it in every Intel thread.

  3. Support will be extended on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm predicting that support will be extended to at least five years past the deadline. There are two many big businesses with fleets of desktops that only upgraded to 7 after 8 was released.

  4. Re:Good thing there is Linux... on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would you have an MRI machine connected to the internet? I'd have that machine isolated from even the normal LAN and have the files sent to some kind of distribution server.

    Give FreeBSD a try. The documentation is top notch.

  6. Re:Windows 7: The Best Windows on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm pretty sure Microsoft has a deal with drive manufacturers to wear them out prematurely in order to boost sales. I see constant complaints from people about how slow their computers are and it's always some Windows process thrashing the hard drive.

  7. I remember those days, using Linux with a hardware modem was awful. I had a 56k modem and could get 5kb/s in Windows but Linux PPP was super slow and big downloads would just stop. Never did figure out why it was shit.

  8. Agreed. Who the fuck is still using a P3? They were released in 1999, we're almost at the two decade mark already. Throw that piece of shit away and drive around on trash night for something better.

  9. Not smart enough on NYT: 'Firefox Is Back. It's Time to Give It a Try.' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Democrats have been smarter than Republicans though.

  10. Re:Monitors on Ubuntu Makes Public Desktop Metrics (ubuntu.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah a few companies still sell 1920x1200 displays. What I really want is something like the old IBM T221 but new manufacture. Those did 3840x2400 resolution more than 15 years ago!

    I remember when the trolls were funny and creative. Now they are sad autists who were shunned from 4chan.

    My monitor is pretty old as well, I'm not giving up that 16:10 ratio.

  13. Re:Without polarization (and Trump) they are proba on How Twitter Made the Tech World's Most Unlikely Comeback (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    They spend the remainder on worrying if the staff is diverse enough and all 77 genders are represented. Personally I now identify as a wine cork.

  14. Re:really? on GNOME Web Browser is Adding a Reader Mode (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I just learned gnome has its own fucking virtual filesystem for things like removable drives. That is something the OS should be handling not your goddamn window manager.

  15. Re:Please, just let it die. on 5 Star Trek Shows in Development, 1 Could Star Patrick Stewart, Reports Say (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Enough of shows being "gritty". Sometimes I want to watch an episode without it being part of a larger plot or ending on a cliffhanger.

    They have deleted posts in the past when it came to Scientology. I've had my account suspended before as well. Who knew that was even a thing.

  21. I'm pretty sure the pseudonym is a group of individuals. The posting of original documents happened at all hours and not a pattern typical of a single person.

    That fact that you think Bitcoin is used for illegal things is a sure sign you're clueless. Bitcoin is not an anonymous currency. For all your untraceable things you use Monero.

    Wait so where do the Russians fall into the Cambridge Analytics scandal? My understanding is Russia bought $300k of Facebook advertising, which is a drop in the bucket.
