  1. Re:What Is Your Environment? on Windows 10 Upgrade Reportedly Starting Automatically On Windows 7 PCs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Your guess was correct. Windows 7 Pro not on a domain. Looks like the update was changed to critical and that's why it was automatic.

  2. Witnessed it personally on Windows 10 Upgrade Reportedly Starting Automatically On Windows 7 PCs (softpedia.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Showed up for work last Monday and saw one box had switched over even after telling the nag screens NO. I had to do the uninstall because we have software that does not work properly under 10. I can't recommend GWX Control Panel enough. It removes all signs of 10 and even the 4Gb of files it downloads without telling you.

  3. Even funnier is having telnet running. But then again telnet has had way fewer security issues than ssh and ssl lately.

  4. Overhaul the whole architecture on Thanks For the Memories: Touring the Awesome Random Access of Old (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    Read up on what IBM did for their AS/400 architecture. Very brilliant work.

  5. Re:All boils down to evidence on Snowden: FBI's Claim It Can't Unlock The San Bernardino iPhone Is 'Bullshit' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I keep hearing this but what does it matter? The government does whatever it pleases without consequence. The NSA admitted to illegally spying on members of congress. Nobody was fired or even given a letter of reprimand.

  6. Wasn't this because of a handful of addresses being responsible for the majority of the activations? As in pirating on a business scale and not the average guy who installed pirated windows a few times.

  7. Any idea what "PCI DSS assessments" means? Don't utilize that new fangled thing called a hyperlink to let anyone know.

  8. Re:Haha on Microsoft Brings SQL Server To Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The word joke implies that humor is involved. I can assure you none of that happens on April 1st.

  9. Re: Didn't know Las Vegas had a problem on Fighting Food Poisoning In Las Vegas With Machine Learning · · Score: 2

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Contains NO triclosan or any known carcinogen. Type44Q must have heavy metal poisoning from prolonged exposure to his tinfoil hat.

  10. Re:Didn't know Las Vegas had a problem on Fighting Food Poisoning In Las Vegas With Machine Learning · · Score: 1

    Hand sanitizers are alcohol based and have nothing to do with the anti bacterial chemicals added to soap.

  11. Google suckered everyone on Google Challenge Results In Astoundingly Efficient Inverters · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sounds like Google had very specific design requirements and didn't want to spend the money in house doing development. So they dream up a contest and offer a cash prize. Meanwhile Google saves way more than the $1 million they paid out.

  12. Re:other browsers with Firefox-like add-ons on Mozilla Bans Popular Firefox Add-On That Tampered With Security Settings (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not Chrome? I know everyone claims it spies but nobody has provided any kind of Wireshark logs or further information to prove it.

  13. Re:Can confirm on The Case Against Algebra · · Score: 1

    Ohms law calculator

  14. Can confirm on The Case Against Algebra · · Score: 1

    I do EE work and barely touch algebra.

  15. OpenVMS on LibreSSL Unaffected By DROWN · · Score: 2

    OpenVMS is not case sensitive. For critical applications I'd pick it over Linux any day.

  16. Re:magnetic links ? on New P2P Torrent Site 'Play' Has No Single Point of Failure (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    RARBG is a group that relases tv shows and movies.

  17. Re: Instead of complaining about youtube on YouTube Promises Changes To Copyright Claim Policy (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Upgrade your ancient Netburst P4 and maybe Vimeo will play better. I've never had any issues with it.

  18. Re:Outstanding! on Microcasting Color TV By Abusing a Wi-Fi Chip (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    The FCC doesn't care anymore. You have to be interfering with commercial stations for months before they do any investigating. I still hear people talking on the CB with illegal amplifiers. Even if they do fine you, you can appeal it down to a fraction of what they asked.

  19. Re:chip 'abuse' !? on Microcasting Color TV By Abusing a Wi-Fi Chip (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    Nobody else appears to be using it.

  20. Re:My deal with Disney on Surge Pricing Arrives In Disney's Magic Kingdom Just in Time for Star Wars Opening · · Score: 2

    That averages to one ride per hour, amazing. How long is the average ride, three minutes?

  21. You couldn't pay me on Surge Pricing Arrives In Disney's Magic Kingdom Just in Time for Star Wars Opening · · Score: 0, Redundant

    enough to visit any of these places. They have everything I hate, crowds, fat people, hot weather, children, overpriced mediocre food, the list goes on.

  22. Re:what point? Libertarians vote fasist on Bloomberg Predicts EVs Cheaper than IC Engine Cars Within 10 Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    So you plan on moving to Canada when Trump wins?

  23. Dumb quote on IoT Devices Are Secretly Phoning Home (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 2

    Spy features could just as easily be hidden in hardware. Unless you want to verify the die and masks used, you still have no clue what this device can do.

  24. Re:Seriously thats how they compare? on Are CEOs Overpaid? Not Compared With College Presidents (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If they fuck up really bad do they still get the golden parachute?

    Maybe you should read the definition of opinion before opening your mouth.
