    The IE10 ones are a bit less shit but still shit. I think he was being sarcastic.

  2. Re:Too big to jail on Data Leak Spurs Huge Offshore Tax Evasion Investigation · · Score: 2

    That's how it's done in the UK. It doesn't improve anything and in plenty of cases it makes things worse and more expensive as the bidders all lie on their bids and then have to be bailed out because the infrastructure can't be allowed to collapse.

    You forgot 'don't install media centre add on as it invalidates your key without warning you this will happen' which, if you'd read the article, you'd know.

  7. Re:TL;DR on The First Fully 3D-Printed Gun Has Been Successfully Test-Fired · · Score: 1

    The Libyan resistance had guns and were getting their arses handed to them by Gaddafi until NATO stepped in. The Syrian rebels have so far failed to win despite having guns. The Afghans failed to remove the Taliban despite being armed. The Iraqis failed to remove Saddam despite being armed.

    In both cases it would still be a criminal offence.

    You missed out USB thumbdrives which are the de facto replacement for floppies.

    It has the "function" keyword duh!

    You do if you're carrying a netbook. They have keyboards you can get a decent typing speed on.

    What is to prevent Samsung writing a Windows driver for it?

  14. Re:hardly cause for concern on Microsoft CFO Quits · · Score: 2

    I'd imagine that Lenovo, HP, Toshiba, Acer and Asus all respect patents when trying to sell their products in any country where patents are respected i.e. pretty much everywhere they want to sell stuff.

    So basically there's no tablet that can do it. Thanks for answering my question.

    Microsoft get paid either way given that they have patents that Android supposedly infringes.

    Are you having a laugh?

  19. Re:The PC isn't dying on Windows: Not Doomed Yet · · Score: 1

    I need visual studio for developing Windows Server software. That's not going anywhere. Windows is full of niche tools for specific technical fields. It only takes one or two pieces of Windows only software to trap people on it.

  20. Re:How relevant is the PC, still? on Windows: Not Doomed Yet · · Score: 1

    I would want it paired to a keyboard and a mouse, have at least dual screen monitor support and able to run all the different browsers. Any tablets capable of that?

    They do have an LTS version. Windows 7 is supported until 2020.

    It's about the freedom of the user not the developer.

  23. Re:Why are these stories on /.? on Huge Explosion at Texas Fertilizer Plant · · Score: 1

    The BBC has been talking about it all morning. I doubt there has been a similar level of coverage of the paper mill fire in Birmingham this morning on US TV. In fact it took a bit of time to find it on the BBC website even.

    Yeah that's why the US has the lowest crime rate in the world . Countries that don't shit on their poor people are the ones with the lowest crime rates, that's why Switzerland has a low crime rate, not because people have guns.
