  1. Can't you pick and choose updates with the corp version? Only home edition forces them on you.

  2. Lets be honest on Dr Who Detective Philip Morris Hints At More Rediscovered Episodes · · Score: 1

    Most of those episodes are a snooze fest.

  3. Again on RIP: Tech Advocate and Obama Advisor Jake Brewer · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I don't care that cyclists have the same rights as cars, from a physics standpoint you will lose every time. Man up and buy a cheap car already. Your loved ones will thank you.

  4. Re:Leak it on Federal Court Invalidates 11-Year-old FBI Gag Order On NSL Recipient · · Score: 1

    They wouldn't keep a copy for verification purposes? How would they prove they wrote it?

  5. What happens if you leak the letter? Jail time? What if a copy shows up on Wikileaks? They can't prove 100% you leaked it.

  6. 6 inch screen? on Purdue 'HUSH' Tool Promises 16% Battery Life Gain For Wasteful Android Phones · · Score: 0

    You must look silly talking into your iPad or clipboard.

  7. Re:FedEx's and the airline's shareholders ... on TSA Luggage Lock Master Keys Are Compromised · · Score: 1

    At least with those companies you have tracking with packages to see when and where they went.

  8. Re:To What Medium on Testing Old Tapes To Save Them · · Score: 1

    Digital tape!

  9. Re:Or don't use Chrome. on YouTube Reportedly Bypassing Ad Blockers On Google Chrome · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Sadly I find Chrome to run much faster than FF and Chrome doesn't keep adding useless buttons and features every week. I'm still waiting for FF to implement multi process and multi thread support.

  10. Re:Almost as if on Why Biking Injuries and Deaths Are Spiking In the US · · Score: 0

    Driving a car is the alternative. Streets were designed for cars and sidewalks were designed for pedestrians. Sorry if this doesn't fit your lifestyle.

  11. Almost as if on Why Biking Injuries and Deaths Are Spiking In the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cyclists shouldn't be sharing the road with two ton steel boxes. Yeah yeah I know you have the same rights as cars but get real. From a physics standpoint you'll always lose. Cycling on roads is a death wish.

  12. Re:Nice and all on Mozilla Project Working on Immersive Displays (Video) · · Score: 1

    How is multi thread and multi process support going? Do I still have to enable this beta feature through about:config?

  13. Nice and all on Mozilla Project Working on Immersive Displays (Video) · · Score: 1

    But can you making a fucking browser that isn't bloated and runs faster than Chrome?

  14. Re:Massive and stupid on The Coming Terrorist Threat From Autonomous Vehicles · · Score: 1

    I want to say you're wrong but a feel good story of people fighting back is exactly what was needed at the time.

  15. About time on A FreeBSD "Spork" With Touches of NeXT and OS X: NeXTBSD · · Score: 1

    My job keeps buying these shitty Gateway boxes and they used to have the slowest BIOS on the planet. I mean a good 15 seconds by the time it gets to the OS.

  16. Yay on GNOME To Start Using Codenames · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So glad they sorted out all the other issues and devoted time to what really matters.

  17. Re:M? Really? on Facebook Is Now Working On Its Own Digital Assistant Called M · · Score: 2

    I was also thinking of the Fritz Lang noir "M".

  18. I'll say it on Happy Birthday, Linux! An OS At 24 · · Score: -1, Troll

    Systemd goes against the UNIX philosophy of doing one thing and doing it well. Imagine 10 years ago if you proposed this monstrosity of programs and system hooks along with binary log files (so now you need a different set of text manipulation tools like grep, awk, or sed to do the same thing as the old tools). Why should a window manager or "desktop environment" need dependency on something to manage system startup? I can't wait until it becomes full Windows style with a registry.dat file to contain everything from mount points to audio volume.

  19. Re:Now we need a NoHTML5Media plugin on A Farewell To Flash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You realize its only a matter of time until companies splice ads into the content itself so filtering will be impossible.

  20. Steal a stingray on In Baltimore and Elsewhere, Police Use Stingrays For Petty Crimes · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Maybe we need to set up a bitcoin bounty for a stingray. I'd imagine reverse engineering it would reveal a wealth of information.

  21. Re:"Start me up" - What was Gates thinking? on Windows 95 Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I ran 95 for a while but found it pretty unstable. Changed to NT and it was like night and day.

  22. Re:USB on Rpi on Ubuntu Core Gets Support For Raspberry Pi 2 GPIO and I2C · · Score: 2

    That was fixed long ago on the rev 1 boards.

  23. Re:Too late on KDE Applications 15.08.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Why should a window manager have anything to do with mounting a filesystem?

  24. History on AT&T Helped the NSA Spy On Internet Traffic · · Score: 2

    AT&T owes the government some favors. You may recall they were broken up into smaller companies in the 1980s. Well not long after AT&T quietly bought up nearly everything again. Don't think that went over without anyone noticing.

  25. Re:This is an invasion of my privacy on Airline Begins Weighing Passengers For 'Safety' · · Score: 1

    No that is $10 extra now and non refundable.
