  1. Hell, one time I spent a week in New Orleans in the 80s for Mardi Gras, and I ended up on intravenous antibiotics and bed rest for a month.

    You shouldn't have barebacked that tranny.

  2. Re:Why not OS/2 ?? on ReactOS 0.4.7 Released (reactos.org) · · Score: 2

    Because it was sold to some other company and called eComStation.

  3. Re:Lottery on 'Bitcoin Could Cost Us Our Clean-Energy Future' (grist.org) · · Score: 1

    So instead of offering some intelligent conversation you choose to stick your fingers in your ears.

  4. Lottery on 'Bitcoin Could Cost Us Our Clean-Energy Future' (grist.org) · · Score: 0

    How is Bitcoin a lottery ticket? The price is climbing daily and people yelling its a bubble said that back when it was worth a small fraction. This is something brand new and nobody can predict its behavior. Had you invested a year ago you'd have over 15x your investment right now. $772 one year ago and $12,756 currently.

  5. Re:LOL on The Winklevoss Twins Are Now Bitcoin Billionaires (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? You can use tons of exchanges to cash in our out. Sure you take a percentage based transfer hit but come on. Hell buy gift cards from Amazon and resell them yourself.

  6. I bought a decent espresso machine and while yes it is cheaper in the long run there is a lot more cleanup involved.

  7. Re:The government and corporations hate it on Nobel Prize-Winning Economist Says Bitcoin 'Ought to be Outlawed' (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Not one other site on the entire internet has this problem.

  8. My guess is someone fucked up the units. You'd need a drive array just to store the damn thing. 14GB sounds more reasonable.

  9. signed into law by a Democrat!

  10. Re:Password could be anything.... on High Sierra Root Login Bug Was Mentioned on Apple's Support Forums Two Weeks Ago (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 0

    You are sitting at the computer with physical access, what is the big deal? Does it matter if you have a root password or not?

  11. You mean like this? https://d2.alternativeto.net/d...

  12. Re:Hopefully Russia succeeds on Russia and The US Fight Over Who Gets To Extradite A Hacker (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Would you rather do time in a Russian jail or American jail?

  13. More like she retires and gets a nice job on the board.

  14. Re:WTF? Were you not paying attention? on 'We Are Disappointed': Tech Companies Speak Up Against the FCC's Plan To Kill Net Neutrality (businessinsider.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Ever worked for an Indian? They are cheap as fuck and will throw away dollars to save pennies.

  15. Does disabling javascript help? I disabled it recently and the internet looks the way it used to. No fancy shit moving around with auto scrolling pages, very refreshing.

  16. Re:TL;DR: Firefox is better on Firefox vs Chrome: Speed and Memory (laptopmag.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I think you better read the Firefox EULA...

  17. Re:Great drones, but invasive... on DJI Threatens Researcher Who Reported Exposed Cert Key, Credentials, and Customer Data (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Watch the Defcon video about drone hacking. The software has to keep an ever updated database of no fly zones. However once the database is on your phone you can edit it as you please.

  18. Re: If there is a warrant on Apple Is Served A Search Warrant To Unlock Texas Church Gunman's iPhone (nydailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ummmm.... no. Are they going to put the company âoeAppleâ in jail

    What the fuck is âoeAppleâ

  19. Re:Nope on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 1

    My desktop has 16GB and rarely does usage go above 4GB total. But then again I don't have 200 tabs open like some of you nut jobs. I don't think Chrome has ever froze on me. It might have crashed maybe five times in as many years.

  20. Re:Nope on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I ask this question every time and I will ask it again. Produce some packet captures of Chrome exhibiting this behavior. I'm waiting.

  21. Nope on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 0

    Been using all these features for years now in Chrome.

  22. Terrible anymore on Google Returns As Default Search Engine In Firefox (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Google is terrible anymore. More than half the time it strikes out the key words I have typed in and brings me common search results. I used those specific words for a reason. So then I have to go back and put quotes around those words so they aren't ignored. Once I was looking for documentation on the Pelco camera RS232 protocol and Google changed "Pelco" to "Arduino".

  23. Re:Users' best interests... on Google Returns As Default Search Engine In Firefox (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    How do we know they don't track history other than them saying so?

  24. What needed to be maintained exactly? Were there bugs or security problems? If the answer is no then why fix something that was never broken?

    James Woods is about the only conservative actor and he even admitted it hurt his career.
