  1. Re:You have it *on*?!?!? on Windows 10 Upgrades Are Being Forced On Some Users (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Mine is set to ask me before downloading and I still ended up with the nag icon and a 5gb folder you can't delete unless you boot from other media.

  2. Re:Why do you like KDE? on KDE Turns 19 · · Score: 2

    I like the look and functionality. I could give two shits about the rest of the other programs that are all poor copies of one another.

  3. I'm telling you we need a new Godwin's law involving the mention of SJW. No one on either side can argue SJW without sounding a fuming idiot.

  4. Never encountered this before in my life.

  5. I find it amusing on Wayland Ported To DragonFlyBSD (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    That systemd is such a hot item because it replaces the old init system. Why is this argument not used against X11? It has a code base spanning 4 decades now but we can't go all crazy with it and start a new model...

  6. Re:Andromeda on Star Trek: New Voyages, The Fan-Based Star Trek Series (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh man I agree with the intro and music. You keep waiting for the punchline to the joke but its completely serious.

  7. Re:ICEd on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    You don't own the parking lot and you can't dictate who can park where.

  8. Andromeda on Star Trek: New Voyages, The Fan-Based Star Trek Series (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Try watching Andromeda. I always wrote it off without watching but ended up really enjoying it. Tyr was everything the Klingons should have been. True enlightened warriors instead of playing politics.

  9. Re:ICEd on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 4, Funny

    Way to win people over for buying electric cars. Now I feel like installing fake charging ports just to fuck with assholes like you.

  10. Re:The Madcap Affair of the Purple Emu on See the Sketches J.R.R. Tolkien Used To Build Middle-Earth (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I really like the first two foreign covers.

  11. So here we are re-inventing the wheel again. What new features are these people creating that rar has done for decades now?

  12. Re:Why did it go public? on Twitter To Begin Layoffs (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    To make the original investors and owners rich.

  13. How is this any different than calling them up and telling them what is broken?

  14. Re:My favorite OS for 'just getting it done' on NetBSD 7.0 Released (netbsd.org) · · Score: 1

    Yep, ran NetBSD for about a *decade* on an Alpha 21164 acting as my personal server and firewall. Totally solid.

  15. Tabs on Why Is RAM Suddenly So Cheap? It Might Be Windows · · Score: 1

    You don't need 40 tabs open. I guarantee by the time you get to tab 40 you have no idea what tabs 3 or 19 were even about.

  16. Re:Just wait on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    Cops are going to put a very low priority on automated calls from trucks. I'm talking about in the USA where nearly everything is transported by trucks.

  17. Re:Just wait on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    Call for help or start shooting. Christ you guys are thick.

  18. Re:Just wait on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1

    Pull up next to the truck on an empty road, smash the cab window, get inside and hit the e-stop. No need to worry about a driver calling the cops or pulling a gun. Empty the contents and be gone. Hell get 3 junk cars like others suggested and box it in.

  19. Just wait on Daimler Tests a Self-Driving Truck On the Autobahn · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Automated trucks without any drivers? Sounds like a hijackers dream!

  20. Re:why? on OpenIndiana Hipster 2015.10: Keeping an Open-Source Solaris Going · · Score: 1

    Better hardware support than Linux and you possibly have old applications that cannot easily be ported to another architecture.

  21. 16:9? on Japan Display Squeezes 8K Resolution Into 17-inch LCD, Cracks 510 PPI At 120Hz · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If it's 16:9 ratio I'm not interested. You can pry 16:10 displays from my cold dead hands.

  22. Wall of text on Soon-to-Be US Ed Chief Was Almost FB CEO's Ed Chief · · Score: 2

    TL;DR anyone?

  23. Read the first sentence out loud to yourself.

  24. Can't make sense of the headline. I know something about a $50 fire tablet and a 128gb memory card. Can we get a Janit^H^H^H Editor on the headline?

  25. Re:I dont get it on Snowden Joins Twitter, Follows NSA · · Score: 1

    He provided proof as to what the foil hat wearers were saying all along.
