  1. Oh that wasn't condescending at all. Of those 340 tabs how many contained worthwhile content to your research? I'm guessing >90% do not.

  2. You don't need to have 340 tabs open. That is the equivalent of having a house filled to the ceiling with junk mail on the off chance you might need to refer back to it one day.

  3. I was all ready to install that but it doesn't do what it claims. It says click to close those overlays? You already have to click them to close them. I don't want to fucking see them in the first place. I know its some css bullshit so can't we have a plugin that blocks that call?

  4. Re:iOS 10 be damned. on Apple Will Soon Let Users Turn Off its iPhone-slowing Software (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Just going to say the same thing. The battery life on my 5C is still fine but stuck with iOS 10. Maybe an upgrade is in order. The last jailbreak for my phone was 9.something. It will be nice to get a shell and break down some of the walls and access the device the way I want.

  5. Re:Is there any other option, Linus? on Linus Torvalds Calls Intel Patches 'Complete and Utter Garbage' (lkml.org) · · Score: 0

    How can you even speak with his cock in your mouth?

  6. Re:Time to sue on iPhone X Purchase Leads To Police, Battering Ram, and Handcuffs (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 2

    The courts have already proven that if police "believe" they are following the law then they can't be held accountable for wrong doing. Was the response blown out of proportion? Yes. Were any laws actually broken? Sadly not.

  7. I'm waiting for DRM to make its way into here somewhere. Didn't pay your monthly RIAA tax? No audio output for you!

  8. Re:Why wine? on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Assuming the game even loads in Wine...

  9. Re:Full of shit on A Photo Accidentally Revealed a Password For Hawaii's Emergency Agency (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah that's totally the same as an emergency alert for an incoming missile attack.

  10. Re:Snap? on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    So another container format? I thought everyone loved Linux and how you could compile everything dynamically and end "dll hell". Looks like they ran into the same problems since containers are all the rage these days.

  11. Last time I checked modern cars still used internal combustion engines. Other than programming the ECU all the mechanical parts are serviceable. You think only the flunkees at the stealership are capable of changing brake rotors or an mass air flow sensor? Your car battery comment is equally dumb. Car batteries have a core charge, they pay YOU for the old one.

  12. You're full of shit. If you make a fuckup this big then you SHOULD lose your job. This was simple incompetence. Yeah the UI is garbage but that doesn't excuse operator error.

  13. I tried dd-wrt on a cheap TPlink access point. It had nice features but the throughput was terrible compared to the stock firmware.

  14. Re:Buffett is like an old rapper hating on the new on Warren Buffett Predicts 'Bad Ending' for Cryptocurrencies (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If bitcoin is worthless why can I sell one for nearly $14,000 right now?

  15. Re:Tulips... on Warren Buffett Predicts 'Bad Ending' for Cryptocurrencies (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    By your definition the entire stock system is of no value. I'm sure the S&P 500 "mania" will die down any day now.

  16. Re:Inconceivable! on Warren Buffett Predicts 'Bad Ending' for Cryptocurrencies (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I knew we couldn't have a bitcoin story without someone on the spectrum yelling about Tulips. They are not alike.

  17. Seriously on Warren Buffett Predicts 'Bad Ending' for Cryptocurrencies (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    If I bought 100 bitcoins back when they were worth pennies I'd have $1.3 million right now. I could be cashing out $50k a week on the exchanges. But oh no Slashdot said and still says they are worthless...

  18. Re:Spin spin spin on Peter Thiel Is Now Bidding on Gawker.com (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Gawker violated a court order. That was the cause of their downfall. Gawker outed Thiel as a homosexual and claimed the Hogan sex tape was public interest. Meanwhile they claimed viewing photos of Jennifer Lawrence nude was the equivalent of sexual assault. The head of Gawker told a jude he would publish nude photos of a four year old if it was in the public interest. Gawker deserved everything they brought upon themselves.

  19. What? on Erroneous 'Spam' Flag Affected 102 npm Packages (npmjs.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I have no idea what this block of text is telling me. What are npm packages? Who is floatdrop and why is he relevant?

  20. Sounds like someone could make a pretty penny building transmission lines from Quebec into Ontario.

  21. Last time I checked parts of Canada had the highest electricity rates in North America. A storm damaged power lines at a cabin and it was without power for months. Ontario Hydro still charged him $100 delivery fees every month even with ZERO usage. Even after the news picked up the story they still wouldn't budge.

    I can't believe they took safe mode out of Win 10.

  23. I don't think you know what that word means.

  24. Re:Mining pools and difficulty on China Plans To Kill Most of the World's Bitcoin Mining Operations (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Find me some mining hardware that will make enough money to make back my investment before its obsolete. It was only profitable in China because the government paid for everything.

  25. You always have the POWER option from IBM. Although those boxes have the management systems out in the open. I'd love to do more with my POWER6 box but nobody writes optimized code for them. Hell they clock at 5Ghz and were designed for running Virtual Machines. The hypervisor actually partitions the memory and processor resources in the hardware. AIX runs well but nothing ever compiles on it. Linux runs decently but slower in comparison because nothing is optimized.
