  1. Can we just route Twitter off please? Nothing of value comes from there. Its bad enough we have to hear the news reading celebrity tweets or see inane comments scrawled across television shows. I find it difficult to even follow discussions when it only looks like message fragments.

  2. Re:Which one to laugh at more? on Samsung: Don't install Windows 10 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The reason is simple. You don't make money writing drivers for hardware you've already sold.

  3. I bet more people are running NetBSD right now than this phone!

  4. Re:Oh great, another "Make it work" registry value on Microsoft Removes 260-Character Path Length Limit In Windows 10 Redstone (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    Keep laughing, how many system critical variables is systemd in charge of now?

  5. How about on California Mayors Demand Surveillance Cams On Crime-Ridden Highways (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Withholding federal funding for "sanctuary cities"?

  6. LOLWUT on Microsoft May Ban Your Favorite Password (securityweek.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a first. Someone on Slashdot making an argument for weak passwords.

  7. Re:It's already scheduled, not caused by "X" on Windows 10 Upgrade Activates By Clicking Red X Close Button In Prompt Message (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I'm not going to use an OS that fills my "live tiles" with advertisements for Xbox or herbal Viagra.

  8. Enjoy winning your lawsuit in a decade and getting a coupon for $10 off Office 2026.

  9. Supported until 2020. Your trolling is weak.

  10. Re:"switch to Windows, that's where the apps are". on Linux Advocate Suggests Using More Closed-Source Software (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    I recently installed FreeBSD on an old Thinkpad laptop that used to run XP. I decided to give the Enlightenment window manager a try. I Click on the terminal button which causes the whole thing to freeze. I switch to another console and see Enlightenment has the cpu pegged at 100%. Oh and Chrome is also buggy as hell and segfaults every other page. Oh well that was a few hours wasted. Back to Windows 7 then.

  11. Re:Crapflood central on Fake Facebook Event Draws Police, Spawns New Meme (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not in the least. Especially when the DEC logo shows up for anything "digital" now. Hand in your nerd card if you don't know about the Digital Equipment Corporation.

  12. Re:Stop your bitching on Microsoft Adding More Ads To Windows 10 Start Menu (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    So if I buy a retail kit it will not show advertisements?

  13. Why should I need third party software to restore functionality? This is broken by design. When support for 7 ends I will probably ditch it.

  14. Re:OrangeFS distributed fs....uhh ok on Linux Kernel 4.6 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    The OrangeFS page is so shitty they can't even explain what the filesystem is used for. Go ahead and see for yourself.

  15. Sony pays good money to the government to place the blame on North Korea.

  16. Odd statement considering that having money brings vagina to you.

  17. Re:Seriously incompetent on Apple Says It Doesn't Know Why iTunes Users Are Losing Their Music Files (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    That would explain a lot, especially the Windows build.

  18. Re:I'll probably hold out a while longer. on ZFS For Linux Finally Lands In Debian GNU/Linux Repos (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'll use it with FreeBSD.

  19. What does the DEC logo have to do with anything?

  20. Re:Partisian nonsense. on Senate GOP Launches Inquiry Into Facebook's News Curation (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The media seems to have proven their bias. But you really come off as a snarky asshole.

  21. Re:How does it compare to 2600? on Hacker Magazine Phrack Returns After Four-year Hiatus (phrack.org) · · Score: 1

    I don't recall Phrack ever being printed on paper.

    Not exactly water vapor...

  23. Re:Simple question on FDA To Regulate E-Cigarettes Like Tobacco (cnn.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    People were too fucking dumb and chain smoking with their children in the car so the government had to step in and become the babysitter.

  24. Re:Fuck you, Barry Chang. on Cupertino's Mayor: Apple 'Abuses Us' By Not Paying Taxes (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Lotta fanboys out today.

  25. Re:It happens on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    After support for 7 ends I might have to migrate from Windows. I can't stand the look and feel of the new interface. Making everything flat with primary colored tiles was an awful choice. It looks like a half assed X window manager from the 90s.
