  1. Re:what about the 6s plus? on Apple Launches Free Repair Program For 'No Service' IPhone 7 Bug (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    you are not alone, I started experiencing this annoying issue ever since I upgraded my 6s to iOS11.

    When that happens, cycle through airplane mode, which turns off the RF subsystem. No need for a hard reset.

  2. Re:Fuck no on Should Developers Do All Their Own QA? (itnews.com.au) · · Score: 1

    You have a lot of anger, why?

    If you would understand the power of good design specifications, you would see that useful QA (or DV for hardware design etc) does not start from the implementation but from these specs, the same as the designer.

    It is obvious that you have no idea about how QA should work. There is a lot of very good information in this discussion thread about the subject (and some not so good), spend some time educating yourself.

  3. Not the brightest bulb, are you? If you've been living under a rock or are too lazy to research the subject, you may miss the fact that stack ranking has consistently produced results opposite to what you're belching about.

    In any work setting that requires cooperation (you know, like a company), forcing everyone to look over their shoulder constantly makes the work force to become a bunch of backstabbing jerks.

  4. Utter rubbish. It appears that you nothing about good coffee.

  5. Re:Impacts on A Third of the Nation's Honeybee Colonies Died Last Year (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    When the queen gets old, the workers simply produce a new one (or several, it all depends on what are the larvae fed with) and kills the old. The hive goes on. BTW, the life span of a worker bee is several months, therefore over the queen's life span multiple generations of regular bees have died - this is normal.

    Colony collapse happens when a large majority of workers die off relatively quickly, straining the food supply to the point that the queen dies or there are not enough workers to tend the larvae.

    The recent trend of collapse is caused by a perfect storm of more potent insecticides used in agriculture, running out of chemical options to contain the Varroa mites, and regulatory decisions to reduce the number and amount of chemical treatments the bee keeper is allowed to administer.

  6. Re:Good on France on Le Pen Concedes Defeat To Macron In France's Post-Hack Election (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Go F yourself. Chicago would fare much better if it wouldn't be so close to the braindead Indiana, where every asshole and his mother has easy access to guns. Gun control works but only if it's harmonized across the US.

    Bullshit. Stop using words you don't understand. Or you're a frigging troll, it's not obvious.

  8. So how is it sold in Winsconsin? Plastic bags, jugs, glass bottles, udders (squeeze-it-yourself style)?

  9. Don't be stupid. MOST milk you can buy in a carton in US is UHT. What do you think "UltraPasteurized" means and how does it have a shelf life (in the fridge, but that's just for the show) measured in months?

    Here in the Bay Area most milk is UP, but some of it (notably Clover) is simply pasteurized and goes bad in 2-3 weeks.

  10. Re:Soy tastes like chicken on Subway Sues Canada Network Over Claim Its Chicken Is 50 Percent Soy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Regarding nasty taste of "edible" fungii, I can't figure out the supposed king of the mushrooms, the truffle. It has to be an acquired taste...

  11. yeah, right... on Massive Ukraine Munitions Blasts May Have Been Caused By a Drone (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Ukrainian authorities believe that the conflagration at the facility is the result of sabotage.

    Smells just like the yellow journalism writing about the USS Maine in Havana's harbor.

  12. Except slavish clones of popular programs, there are no two apps that have the same feature set. The intent of my comment was to point this out. OTOH, the popular consensus seems to be that Windows Phone has a very limited App ecosystem, so of course your point is valid.

  13. IOW, no true Scotsman.

  14. you're a little confused. Both Grant and Sherman have been Union Generals...

  15. I'm wondering then why we have West Virginia...

  16. Re:Satellites are not in buildings on Russians Seek Answers To Central Moscow GPS Anomaly (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, that's a better explanation, I agree.

  17. Re:Satellites are not in buildings on Russians Seek Answers To Central Moscow GPS Anomaly (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    That's plain stupid. The GPS signal is very weak (-130dBm, it boggles the mind how weak a signal that is). Swamping the band with stronger signals will "overwrite" the true GPS signal and not even the best directional antenna can retrieve it.

  18. Re:why is this a national issue? on White House Vows 'Proportional' Response For Russian DNC Hack (go.com) · · Score: 0

    If you really think that these are valid analogies to the DNC "hacking" situation, you are truly retarded. These are not even hyperbole, they're lunacy.

  20. recent trend in blaming sugars? on Sugar Industry Bought Off Scientists, Skewed Dietary Guidelines For Decades (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    We all remember the incredibly eye-opening lecture named "Sugar: the bitter truth" from almost a decade ago. Robert Lustig, the presenter, is an Emeritus Professor at surprise surprise UCSF!

    The Sugar Association is full of it when blaming the researchers of bias.

  21. Well, you're such a think-skinned snowflake!

    The electrical grid, at least in the US, is not capable of sustaining charging the hypothetical 90% of the domestic fleet converted to EV. Not only generation is an issue, but the transmission, both the long-distance and the local distribution too are already straining under the load.

    Regarding the public charging station ubiquitousness, you must live in a special place. At my job at a very large, tech-oriented company in the heart of Silicon Valley, there are no more than 8-10 stations per 100 parking spots, so, if you want to charge your EV while at work, you have to spend quite a lot of time looking for an available station - not very convenient.

    Again, the thread was about the many people who don't own a SFH with a private garage and don't live in your city with the abundance of public charging stations. You just got carried away, without trying to understand other people's situation.

  22. You're wasting your time explaining to idiots such as whoever57 and catchblue22 why their little perfect world conditions do not apply everywhere...
