  1. Thanks Obama...

  2. Re:Assembly language is good enough for anyone... on Mozilla Binds Firefox's Fate To The Rust Language (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Funny how the OpenBSD team isn't very big, and hasn't really grown.

  3. Re:Abuse of power? on President Obama Orders Review of Cyber Attacks On 2016 Election (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    He won't notice because he doesn't pay attention to his security briefings anyway.

    Bigly ego. Yuge. He has lots of people telling him he has the best ego.

  5. the jobs are going away here because people are being replaced by workers in other countries who can work for less.

    Bollocks. They're being replaced by robots too.

  6. Real life? on Netflix Goes Down, People Freak Out and Discover Real Life · · Score: 1

    Hah, jokes on them. I got Amazon Prime too.

  7. Re:It would have been better the other way round? on Facebook Inflated Video Viewing Stats For Two Years (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think it would be that interesting. Someone canceling the viewing of a video in less than three seconds seems like someone who accidentally clicked on something they didn't mean to.

  8. Re:They do charge for the modem... on Charter Fights FCC's Attempt To Uncover 'Hidden' Cable Modem Fees (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That's kinda the point of the FCC policy.

  9. Re:False flag operation? on Someone Is Learning How To Take Down the Internet, Warns Bruce Schneier (schneier.com) · · Score: 2

    Or it could be NSA/GCHQ spies working for the Russians trying to make us think that it's a NSA/GCHQ false-flag operation to pin the attacks on Russia.

  10. Let's hope the Chrome team makes some improvements to turn this around.

    That's really how all this should go.

  11. Re:Obligatory Star Trek: TNG episode on Maybe There's No Life in Space Because We're Too Early · · Score: 1

    Octopus, where their environment really puts them at a disadvantage, but the killer is no family/tribe so no passing on knowledge. Every Octopus is born alone and starts over from scratch. Humanity has been building on our ancestors knowledge since before we were human and the fact that we're story tellers sets us apart.

    Right now, sure, but when I begin my octopodes breeding program, that will all change...

    You already can in Hangouts. Not sure about other messaging apps.

  13. Re:Why would Putin fear Clinton? on Clinton Campaign: Russia Leaked Emails to Help Trump (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think that Putin fears Clinton, but I think that Putin is somewhat enamored with Trump. Trump has already praised Putin's politics, and Putin is probably pretty bitter with Obama for the past eight years, and likely sees that bad relationship continuing under Clinton since she was his Secretary of State.

  14. Re:In unrelated news... on Obesity Is Three Times As Deadly For Men Than Women, Says Study (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    And their health, apparently.

    Those Hungry Man commercials were probably the worst things to happen to men's health. How the hell did eating like a pig become manly?

  15. Not to mention that if you're exercising, you're probably not eating something, like a snack. So many people have little snacks here and there, and that adds up.

  16. Who cares if ET has visited us? on Clinton Campaign Chair: 'The American People Can Handle The Truth' On UFOs (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't give a flying fuck if ET has visited us, unless they want to help us figure our shit out. Short of that, they're welcome to visit, buy some trinkets, experience our culture, and find out how easy earth girls are. I'll just be trying to make sure the servers are working when they try to buy something online, and they're welcome to send me an email if it's not, and then I'll just submit a change ticket to fix the issue, and then they'll send another email after the fix has been implemented because now something else broke, and I'll have to submit another change ticket to fix that too, and then they'll get food poisoning at Chipotle's, and refuse to come back after all of that, and give 1 star reviews on Yelp for earth.

    That's not PowerShell for Linux. It's PowerShell for managing Linux machines from Windows machines. Not the same thing.

    > ported Powershell to Linux

    What? That's news to me. There's Pash, but that's not from Microsoft, and it's very, very alpha.

    You'll never get that from Linux, but you will get this from a particular distribution of Linux, like, say, Ubuntu.

  21. Re: Theory on Alabama Will Require Students To Learn About Evolution, Climate Change · · Score: 1

    I think he does believe in evolution, but he's an opportunist, and a politician who will say whatever he needs to say to appeal to his base. Basically, I think he's lying.

  22. Re:In other words. on Kansas Secretary of State Blocks Release of Voting Machine Tapes · · Score: 1

    > If the machines are faulty you will need to prove that. Go... do so. However the records are probably off limits. Which is going to make your job extremely hard to do. But if someone can write an emulator I think someone can reverse engineer one of these boxes easily enough.

    That assumes the fraud is happening at the level of the voting machines, when it could easily be at a level higher than that.

  23. Re:Or let us keep our hard-earned money on Clinton Promises 500 Million New Solar Panels · · Score: 1

    I don't disagree with you about the external costs, but I've never been able to work out why the approximate external costs of an industry isn't directly charged to that industry as a licensing fee or additional tax charge.

    Because there's never enough political capital to make that happen. The industry would succeed in fighting it by spouting scary words like, "big government."

  24. Re:How is this news for nerds? on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    Children can't consent, so no, that can't happen.

    The software can be built to adjust its interface accordingly to the device that it's being displayed on. That's the point of convergence. No need to compromise.
