  3. Re:So... no more cell phones? on DC Court Rules Tracking Phones Without a Warrant Is Unconstitutional (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1
    I saw an argument somewhat like this years ago on a newsgroup.

    Someone claimed you could hear an Automatic Teller Machine printing money before it was dispensed. An early troll.

  4. They call it Windows "10" because it will take 10 minutes from log in to desktop. Wait for Windows 15. Or just wait.

  11. I guess refuting this preposterous article is a fool's errand. But I've been sent on many a fool's errand.

    I once made the mistake of asking why and was told it's because I'm the right man for the job,

  12. Re:Really? on Neowin: Microsoft's Windows Phone Business 'Is Dead' (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    The Windows Mobile phones were great for the first few years (before the iPhone) and showed great promise. MS must have invested a ton of loot into the project, just to let it die this slow death.

  16. Re:So, the gist of it is... on Feds: We're Pulling Data From 100 Phones Seized During Trump Inauguration (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That was a bit more than just a "protest".

  17. Re:Interesting timing re Trump's claims on WikiLeaks Reveals CIA's Secret Hacking Tools and Spy Operations (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The question isn't about the spy capabilities. It's about whether these tools are used without logging and review by elected officials from the Congressional security committees.

    On the March 6, 2017 Tucker Carlson show, Congressman Jim Hines admitted Congress (and his committee) is not conducting any meaningful oversight of the spy agencies.

  18. Should reduce the blast radius. Somewhat.

  22. Re:HOLY SHIT on HandBrake 1.0.0 Released After 13 Years Of Development (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 1

    Handbrake 0.10.2 (x86_64) works great. I'll keep using it until the updated version hits the Linux Mint repository.

  23. I only use Windows (7, updates disabled) in a VM anymore. And rarely at that.

  24. Samsung fouled their nest, so I jumped ship to LG V10. Has user removeable battery, Good phone.

  25. Blender works the same on either OS.
