  1. Re:why would anyone go to this trouble? on The 'World's Worst' Smart Padlock Is Even Worse Than Previously Thought (sophos.com) · · Score: 1

    So your house is completely unlocked and has no doors or windows?

    Yes, a determined criminal can break into virtually any house, but it’s well proven that most will avoid breaking into houses that even have something as simple as a home security sign in front (even if fake) since it’s not worth the chance of being caught versus a house that looks completely unguarded.

    Why would I bother when you’ll simply dismiss every thing I provide out of hand? No thanks, Trumpkin.

    Oh and Trump used to also be for socialized health care and was pro-choice. But guess what, he now isn’t. So again, him getting an award 32 years ago says never little about the man of today.

    But it’s not 1986 anymore and he’s being “charged” with racists statements because that’s what he’s been spewing.

    It also doesn’t get remembered and it’s been broken for a few months now. It doesn’t really show most recent despite what it claims.

    Except that option doesn’t really work and usually limits you to a handful of posts before it claims it has nothing else to show you to force you back to the algorithmic timeline bullshit. .

    How so? This involves China and some other Asian countries.

  8. Re:Right. on Most Organizations Are Not Fully Embracing DevOps (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Developers should have a firm understanding of OS maintenance, firewalls, networking, security, and all that good stuff.

    What a silly requirement. If I’m a developer, for example, of a non-linear video editor or CAD software why would that entail needing to know about OS maintenance, firewalls and networking? What benefit does that bring to my work?

    But your company isn’t hip and cool (aka you probably have professionals instead of boneheaded amateurs running the show).

  10. It's dishonest reporting at best. The most likely interpretation for the phrase "get 'full self-driving features'" is that the car will suddenly become fully self-driving.

    Only if you don’t actually bother reading the story.

  11. POSIX doesn’t define a UI toolkit. So your post is essentially meaningless.

  12. No, just like you can’t take a C application written to Win32 and compile it on Linux or MacOS. But that in no way makes C a “walled garden.”

  13. Digital ID's needed for all - so we can arrest Twitter users speaking out against the State.

    Sounds farfetched? The UK is doing that today [businessinsider.com].

    Except that the story doesn’t say what you claim? Where in the story does it say they were speaking out against the UK Government?

    British police are arresting people in the middle of the night if they have made racist or anti-Muslim comments on Twitter following the murder of a soldier by two Muslims in Woolwich, London.

    Since when do Muslims represent “The State” in the UK?

    And yet that still has nothing to do with this article. This is about the naming scheme of a company's email directory.
