  1. Re:Will they trash it if a Republican wins? on The White House Finally Got Color Printers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    thats what fucktard Bush gets for losing the electatoral college and the popular vote and not conceding.

  2. it's because we budget for f-71 fighter planes on Why BART Is Falling Apart · · Score: 1

    It's because we don't budget for infrastructure. That is all.

  3. Re:They are ALWAYS mostly crap. on One of Silicon Valley's Most Esteemed VCs Says Startups Are 'Mostly Crap' (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 1

  4. never update on Clicking on Links in iOS 9.3 Can Crash Your iPhone and iPad (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    This is why I never update iso. Updates are trash man. It's a portable sealed device, it's not like the hardware changed.

  5. stock market compnay now on 9.7-Inch iPad Pro Is Apple's Last Chance To Save the iPad Line (bgr.com) · · Score: 1
    seeking endless new growth is dumb and the death of companies. I love my ipad. I kept my ipad one for 6 years, and plan to keep my new ipad just as long. Apple is already devaluing their band by pushing ios updates that suck on older models. Then app makers (the only reason to stay) adapt the new code, making app updates unavailable. If I have to upgrade hardware every year, I'm going with something cheaper.

    iPads are great. btw, the iPad pro sucks, it's too heavy, so you can't use it as a reader. It exists in that weird in-between realm. ipad air is already so powerful that you can do all general computer functions on it, get a good keyboard and you have a laptop that suits 99% of users needs. Ipad air is amazing. I use it all the time.

  6. genetic deadends on Autism Associated With Shorter Lifespan, According To UK Charity Study · · Score: -1, Troll

    genetic deadends that should have far less resources used on them. Those and the peanut allergy folks who make it so you can't pack a decent lunch for kids to school anymore

    Because it was so hard to travel before the EU for PhDs? please, PhD's get handed visas and residency if they want it. The U.S. isn't in the EU either, but even undergrads ave no trouble working there.complete Marxism propaganda

  9. 32,760 workers at the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear plant >???

    does one nuclear plant really have that many workers? sheez it must take 10$$ of the plants power just to support the workers homes

  10. Nah, the manager should always be the one accountable. Upper bosses have no time for "well I told them to do it and they didn't" No, it's your department, your problem. The point of a manger is to have one person accountable, otherwise you are just a team leader or a supervisor.

  11. says microsoft tech reading your docs...AND remote on Microsoft Telemetry Collection, Explained (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    . If your system reports back strange crashes that Microsoft techies can't get their heads around, they can request extra data from your machine, which Windows 10 will hand over under remote control if management approves. This extra information can include some of your files so the engineers can recreate the exact crash in their labs using your data and apps. Microsofties can also run diagnostic tools on your system to gather more evidence. Here's Microsoft's explanation of the process: Before more info is gathered, Microsoft’s privacy governance team, including privacy and other subject matter experts, must approve the diagnostics request made by a Microsoft engineer. If the request is approved, Microsoft engineers can use the following capabilities to get the information: Ability to run a limited, pre-approved list of Microsoft certified diagnostic tools, such as msinfo32.exe, powercfg.exe, and dxdiag.exe. Ability to get registry keys. Ability to gather user content, such as documents , if they might have been the trigger for the issue.

  12. nope, you are. on Swedish Scientist Suggests That There Is Only One Earth (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    wrong. all this math is dumb because it's based on assumptions. You can 'prove' with math your statement. You can prove with math OPs statement. The often repeated in science rag line "the math/odds show there will be many living planets" has always been bad science.

  13. "make your product worse" on Hollywood Escalates "DVD Ripping" Case To International Incident (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1
    Stop making your product worse and then getting mad when we don't play ball. Did you learn nothing from riaa..

    HDCP cords, dvds with bricking, etc.

    THE FUTURE IS NOW, AND IT IS DIGITAL.

    I want to buy your product. I don't want to keep 100 dvds around. I want them all on a thumb drive. DEAL WITH IT.

  14. why? guilt is not in question on Judge Tells Apple To Help FBI Access San Bernardino Shooters' iPhone (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    why? guilt is not in question. It's just a precedent thing. fbi is overfunded and now they have something to do. Why don't they use these resources on future crimes unrealated? I'll tell you why. because it's easier and more fun to tinker with this. fuck the fbi, do something useful for us.

  18. you never bothered to ask whether or not you shoul on Firefox Adopts a 6-8 Week Variable Release Schedule (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    You were so busy with whether or not you could, you never bothered to ask whether or not you should. Every update is a chance to introduce a bug or incompatibility. I want stable software that runs on 2 -5 year old hardware. Also it takes time and bandwidth to do updates. The new interface is equivalent value to the old one, but the old one was better because we were used to it, etc

  20. shut the fuck up shills on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    Donald trump isn't even that bad, and the media puts him way out of context and frame. There is nothing wrong with securing the boarder, there is nothing wrong with screening "refugees" for desirability.

  21. Second law of themodynamics on Why the Calorie Is Broken (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1
    Sugar spikes your insulin, fat takes more energy to break down per unit. People who claim that "A calorie is just a calorie, from any source is true because of the first law law of thermodynamics." are wrong, it doesn't violate the first rule.

    A "a calorie is just a calorie" violates THE SECOND law of thermodynamics. Entropy in the body is actually not as complex as OP makes it out, but it is a huge factor that makes all the difference in the world
