  1. Thank you for the sensible post. I'm very tired of the current trend where the accused is always believed to be guilty, no matter what.

  2. Re:Munich confirms it on Linux Pioneer Munich Confirms Switch To Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 2

    That's a bone headed comment. Linux desktop use has more than doubled in the past ten years. Android is the worlds most used OS, running a Linux kernel.

  3. Re:Strang Timing on Linux Pioneer Munich Confirms Switch To Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    In the past decade Linux on desktop/laptop use has gone from 0.8% to ~2%. At this rate it'll only take about 900 more years to totally replace Windows on the desktop.

  4. Re:Web 3.0! on Over 400 of the World's Most Popular Websites Record Your Every Keystroke (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    These days websites also use HTML5's canvas fingerprinting to identify your computer. If there's a way to gather any useful information, to be used for marketing, it'll happen. Check out Canvas Defender. You can change your machines white noise at will to help mask it's identity. It's really a bit sad that all this crap goes on.

  5. Re:We Should Focus On Our Own People on Foreign Students Have Begun To Shun the United States (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Jobs gong oversees which "would be automated anyhow", would be automated in our home country, where some employees woudl work. Services would be rendered. Taxes woudl be paid. Your argument is very thin and incomplete.

  6. Prime video shows Amazon ads at the start of shows on Amazon Developing a Free, Ad-Supported Version of Prime Video: Report (adage.com) · · Score: 1

    They already show an annoying ad, most of which can be skipped, for their own shows at the start of every damn video now. It's already annoying. Putting more on, even if free, is unacceptable. Commercials destroy the continuity of enjoying a movie or TV series.

  7. Re:human smokers will be trained on Startup Plans To Clean Up Cigarette Butts Using Crows (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    I love your idea. The slobs that flick their butts onto my business' property, because they're too stupid to realize that putting it out first and then into a trash can is best, really really annoy me.

  8. The more people that learn to code the less Apple, and other companies, will need to pay for software development, due to someone always willing to work for less money than the next person.

  9. 112 Best Korea. There is no other according to lil KIm.

  10. The nervous system connects the two halves on When You Split the Brain, Do You Split the Person? (aeon.co) · · Score: 2

    While not as rapid nor efficient, the body's nervous system still connects the two halves of a split brain. It's a slower rural road type of path, that is not as efficient as the expressway connection that was cut. But, it exists and explains why the two halves still communicate, albeit less efficiently.

  11. Re:AMZN had *better* emphasize security on Meet The Next Major Operating System: Amazon's Alexa (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    All great points. Thanks. I hadn't thought it through that far. I will now.

  12. Re:Uh, Chrome vs Firefox is all that matters on Google Chrome Most Resilient Against Attacks, Researchers Find (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    For security testing the top ten, or more, should have been tested, not just Microsoft's and Google's. How does Chromium compare to Chrome? If Opera more or less secure than Firefox/ I would like to know.

  13. Does VW get any credit for this criminality? on Diesel Cars Contribute To 5,000 Premature Deaths a Year In Europe, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does their deceit about the emissions levels on VW diesel engines, that contributes to deaths, lead to any criminal charges? Nope. Just fines and a round of golf. Corporations have no true accountability when the leaders get to go home and a lonely engineer is set up to take the fall.

  14. Re:okay we get it, we eat plastic on We're Eating Plastics From Our Own Dirty Laundry (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Eating much more food than a body needs causes obesity. There is no other cause.

  15. Re:Antenna is cheaper on Cord-Cutting Still Doesn't Beat the Cable Bundle (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    What is this magic antenna you speak of? It's almost like TV was made to be broadcast over the air and received by antennas.

  16. Re:You got fired... on James Damore Explains Why He Was Fired By Google (wsj.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not so bright? If he was a liberal in an age of conservative values, he would be called "brave". I call him brave for speaking his mind, which Google, up until this incident, encouraged their people to do. Open minded, is no longer open at Google.

  17. Re:Sweet news! on Americans Are Dying Younger, Saving Corporations Billions (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The biggest culprits are American's themselves eating too much. Eat less and lose weight. Accepting obesity as normal doesn't help..

  18. The headline is clickbait. It is misleading, as many people stay logged into Facebook while doing other things.

  19. Need specifics on FBI Tracked 'Fake News' Believed To Be From Russia On Election Day (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    CNN and the DNC have been claiming that Russia was responsible for John Podesta's falling for a phishing scam, which gave hackers access to his account which contained information that lead to further DNC hacks. How can the Russians be responsible for the foolishness of a single American? It's time for real facts, not the ongoing BS, which is repeated enough that it becomes circular and self sustaining.

  20. This is one of Lenovo's smarter moves on Lenovo Switches To Stock Android For All Future Smartphones (ndtv.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's about time. I wish all smartphones stopped adding bloat, but made their UI options available for download for anyone that preferred them.

  21. Command Prompt is black. Powershell is blue. on Microsoft Is Updating the Windows Console Colors For the First Time In 20 Years (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm not sure where the information came from, but I presume that the change is to Powershell and not to the Command Prompt, which in Windows 10 defaults to a black screen with white text. Powershell defaults to a blue screen with white text.

  22. What will they say when they find no wrongdoing? on The US Congress Is Investigating Government Use Of Kaspersky Software (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Will the feds come forth and say that Kaspersky AV is clean and isn't spying, should that be the result of the probe? That's not likely in today's anti-Russia atmosphere. If Kaspersky contained nefarious elements, it likely would have been made public by it's competitors. The whole thing smells fishy to me.

  23. When they're too big to care, they're never to big to fall. In fact, the CEO's arrogant comment would have been enough to drive some people away. Netflix no longer brings out the best new content. Iron Fist, the last season of House of Cards, are examples of traditional TV style weak programming full of filler scenes that are boring, where they don't care as they think you're hooked without any options.

  24. Lying to employee's about their pay, and cheating them is illegal. Sorry, the asshole should be hanged for screwing hopeful workers over. Short of hanging, which is unlikely, he should get time in maximum security with the rest of the scum.

  25. Voat is still afloat on Imzy, the Kinder and Gentler Reddit By Ex Employee, Is Shutting Down (imzy.com) · · Score: 1

    If these folks want free speech and don't mind being called out in a nasty, but actually friendly, way, they should consider Voat. It's better overall, as long as you're not thin skinned.
