  1. Super high tax for Europe. Around 20%. Can't understand why anyone would want to skirt that...

  2. Re:CPU without management engine on Open-Source Hardware Makers Unite To Start Certifying Products (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    As far as management engines, how about the POWER line from IBM?

  3. Re:"Historic thaw"? on Fidel Castro Is Dead (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The rest of the world goes to Cuba for cheap vacations. They aren't hurting.

  4. Re:Simple TOS Violations on Advertising Company AppNexus Bans Breitbart News Over Hate Speech (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Haha you think AOL was the internet back then?

  5. Re:Narrative Pushing on Advertising Company AppNexus Bans Breitbart News Over Hate Speech (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe not her but when the head of the DNC wanted to call out Bernie Sanders for being Jewish. Then after resigning guess whose campaign hired her...

  6. Slashdot doesn't even rank.

  7. Re: I'm going to make a prediction on Scientists Create Battery That Charges In Seconds and Lasts For Days (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Those predictions are always so dumb. Buy it and license out the patent to everyone else. But then again this will be another one of those dead end claims like 3d holographic storage and cold fusion.

  8. Re:Uniform multimedia on cURL Author Is Getting Tech Support Emails From Car Owners (daniel.haxx.se) · · Score: 1

    You think car companies haven't already thought of this? All the technology is in place now. One OTA update and you car chimes and displays the McDonald's logo when you drive past. You hit the radio button and have to watch a 10 second ad for Dr. Scholls odor eaters.

  9. Re:Perhaps. . . on cURL Author Is Getting Tech Support Emails From Car Owners (daniel.haxx.se) · · Score: 1

    Totally agree. Now you have to take your eyes off the road to perform the most simple tasks. Nothing beats tactile controls. Now idiots demand their cars come with giant ugly touchscreens because they think its modern. You know all that shit is gonna break in a few years,

  10. Re:In a pure FOSS world... on Second Chinese Firm In a Week Found Hiding a Backdoor In Android Firmware (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Right, ok like how all those eyes found the heart bleed bug in SSL?

  11. Re:Any still used? on Intel's 4004 Microprocessor Turns 45 (4004.com) · · Score: 1

    My best guess would be in some industrial setting like an early CNC machine.

  12. Re:Millenial Here on Slashdot Asks: Is Paperless Office a Dream? (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait until you do business with any government agency, have a QA program, or get audited by other companies. You need a paper trail.

  13. What unreleased recordings? These Trump conversations are not some hidden bomb shells. They were broadcast on a nationally syndicated radio show. I listened to Trump call in plenty of times and talk about women and sex.

  14. The ability to use a text based window manager during a network install? Exactly zero people will use that, along with this mess of an OS.

  15. Why am I interested in alpha build software? In the alpha stages you're lucky it even boots. They now support "screen"? Gee I've been using that for over two decades now. What next, color framebuffer and gopher support?

  16. I'm sure you'll do fine without those billions of federal tax dollars

  17. Re:physical access to machine? on Security Firm Shows How To Hack a US Voting Machine (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Break into the warehouse where the machines sit for 4 years...

  18. Re:Windows browser? on Chrome Now Accounts For 55% of All Web Browsing (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Palemoon is just an outdated Firefox build without the Australis interface.

  19. Re:Class - M Planet, not M-Class Planet on New Paper Explores The Prospects For Life Around M-Class Stars (arxiv.org) · · Score: 2

    You're the idiot. M stands for Minshara, a Vulcan word.

  20. Re:Windows browser? on Chrome Now Accounts For 55% of All Web Browsing (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    How does Chrome spy on you? I keep hearing this but so far no one can point to packet logs showing such behavior. I dumped Firefox years ago when they started adding features for shits and giggles instead of improving things like speed or reliability.

  21. Re:And this is why I exited IT... on IT Workers Facing Layoffs Jolted By CEO's Message (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    How would a union save the whole department being outsourced?

  22. Re:The U.S. government has become weak. on The AT&T-Time Warner Merger Must Be Stopped (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Watch when this merger is approved. The head of the SEC will resign and take a cushy new job on the board of the company. It happened with the Comcast/NBC merger.

  23. Show me a company anywhere using GIMP or Blender for production work.

  24. So they should have to invest $20k just to protect themselves from faulty products? I've never seen a home with sprinklers.

  25. Re:Because he had a server in the USA on KickassTorrents Lawyer: 'Torrent Sites Do Not Violate Criminal Copyright Laws' (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Using your logic I can host all the infringing content I please as long as someone else owns the hardware it runs on. I can also run over people with my car because the bank still owns it and they are therefor responsible. The bottom line is the court believes he was infringing copyright in the USA and sent a legal extradition order to Poland. What is the court supposed to do, subpoena the hardware itself?
