  1. Will they still be power hogs like that 220 watt behemoth currently in production?

  2. Why bother with a CEO? on The End of Yahoo: Marissa Mayer To Resign; Yahoo To Change Its Name To Altaba (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Seems like you could just as easily replace these CEOs with a magic 8 ball and get similar results.

  3. Re:Read the article on Atlassian Acquires Trello For $425M (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what any of those words mean. In five years they will be meaningless.

  4. Read the article on Atlassian Acquires Trello For $425M (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3

    And still have no idea what these companies produce or why I should care.

  5. It probably only works on a handful of systems that are way outdated at this point.

  6. Easy! on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Deal With A 'Gaslighting' Colleague? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Plant ISIS literature on his PC and then call the feds.

  7. Re:This is not a drone like your kids toy on African Airline Reports Drone Collision With Passenger Jet (airlive.net) · · Score: 0

    My first thought was someone in Africa can afford a drone?

  8. Re:Who cares? on Faraday Future Unveils Super Fast Electric Car (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I think Faraday is going to pull what Fisker did. Take all that sweet handout money knowing the product can't be done from an engineering standpoint. The big shots leave with all the money and get more high paying jobs somewhere else.

  9. Programmers can't seem to grasp the fact that a design can reach a pinnacle and anywhere else you go is down hill. Do we keep getting new designs for hammers or pliers every year? No pliers from the 1800s look the same as they do today.

  10. Gotta agree with that. Went looking for a way to change my IP address and only found a large switch letting me turn airplane mode on or off. Really fucking useless on a desktop.

  11. When using Windows 8 I genuinely had no idea the full screen start menu was able to scroll. There are no bars or any indication it can move. I installed Office and couldn't locate any of the icons. There is actually a knowledge base article on this exact problem! Talk about a broken UI.

  12. The open source software is so shitty they had to design it with Altium. What, Eagle isn't good enough?

  13. Fake news on How Russia Recruited Elite Hackers For Its Cyberwar (nypost.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So is this fake news or not?

  14. Is he the guy with the black leather couch and video camera in his office?

  15. So which KB number is the telemetry update?

  16. Re: Delay Windows Update? on Windows 10 Getting a Game Mode That Would Improve Game Performance - Report (gamespot.com) · · Score: 1

    Because you might need to pull files off from a remote location? Maybe you would like to bring up a live feed to see if anything is wrong?

  17. Re:Spyware on Unannounced ASUS C302CA-DHM4 Chromebook Hits Newegg, and It Looks Great (betanews.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Have you read every single line of code currently running on your computer? How about the UEFI code? Hard drive firmware? We know spy agencies have compromised that before. You have absolutely no clue if your box is spyware free. How about the management engine in your CPU or the firmware on your ethernet interface? You'd have no idea if it randomly sent packets back to the home company in China. Yes Google uses analytics and metrics on its users but you can't call it spyware when they tell you what's being done.

  18. Re:"if you have been looking for a new Chromebook" on Unannounced ASUS C302CA-DHM4 Chromebook Hits Newegg, and It Looks Great (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    They are great for schools. The OS is nearly impossible to compromise and they come with a full keyboard unlike an iPad. Plus you can buy two or three for whatever Apple charges.

  19. What the fuck are you even babbling about? Chromebooks aren't given away. Unless you browse using TAILS on a read only USB stick you're being tracked somewhere by some ad agency. Get a Chromebook for your parents and you'll never get another tech support phone call.

    See the founding fathers were pretty smart. Take a look at the county breakdown map where 90% shows Trump winning. Tell me we don't need the electoral college.

    Maybe you should read more than one sentence into my post. I fucking said it takes work.

  22. Re:I hope those in power learned on After Brexit, More Than 100 Firms May Move To Ireland (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Trumped talked to people like adults. Trumped talked about issues and hit the campaign trail hard. All Hillary did was keep saying how bad Trump was and ignored a bunch of states. People are fed up with PC bullshit.

    What are you even babbling about. Like Britain was some kind of financial wasteland until the EU formed and saved everyone?

  24. Re:Carrie Fisher has a therapy dog on 'Star Wars' Actress Carrie Fisher 'Stable' After In-Flight Heart Attack (abc7news.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Everyone has a fucking therapy dog now. Back in the old days it was called manning up and dealing with your problems. Now you just trade addictions because behavior modification is too hard. Instead of being addicted to coke shes addicted to her "therapy dog".

  25. And Peter Cushing who looked 100 back then.
