  1. Re:Possible illegal behavior on Disney+ Streaming Service To Launch In November, Priced At $6.99 Monthly (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't be daft. All they have to do to dodge this is a) have a separate IP holding company (done) b) separate streaming license holder (done) and just not buy IP rights for the region until they're ready to open the shop.

  2. Re:Driving is can be extremely dangerous! Be safe! on Tesla Says Autopilot Was Engaged During Fatal Model X Crash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You wouldn't have put a cruise control in either?

  3. Re:Another interestnig tidbit on Tesla Says Autopilot Was Engaged During Fatal Model X Crash (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I disagree on handling the number of deaths. If the typical usage of a model of sedan is non-single occupant driver, then it's clearly a big factor how high fatality rate they get per accident with fatality outcome. This is the huge part of the "Trolley problem" with autopilot.

  4. Re:We all saw it coming... on GNOME's Text Editor gedit 'No Longer Maintained', Needs New Developers (gnome.org) · · Score: 1

    Naah. Just dumb-as-fuck maintainership. It couldn't even open a "binary" (f.ex /bin/cat) file "as-is" for fucks sake and that is pretty much a required feature for anyone targeting developers.

  5. Obduction is any good? I remember getting my first CD-ROM, 4x and a friend loaned me the MYST. Started playing at 18 and got to the end by 8 in the morning.

  6. It seems that you have become so extreme, mr. Parallel since you last visited our glorious country.

  7. Re:Managers like to stalk on The Real Reasons Companies Won't Hire Telecommuters (oreilly.com) · · Score: 1

    The *fucking gall* to go around calling people *resource*. Fucking retards.

  8. Re:Why wireless charging? on Google Shows Off 2 New Nexus Phones, a New Pixel, and More · · Score: 1

    Watch is a different thing from a phone which you can just plonk on the pad. Watch you have to remove from hand and it's bothersome operation in itself. Plonking phone in contrast is much simpler than fiddling with the retarted microusb connector which is always the right way only on the third try.

  9. Re:record ? on Fusion Progress: Superheated Gas Kept Stable For 5 Milliseconds · · Score: 1

    Maybe the previous record was limited by some physical feature instead of "just" energy supply even if the energy one lasted much shorter time.

  10. Re:My big hope on Windows 10, From a Linux User's Perspective · · Score: 1

    The windows search (the one where you just press Windows key and write in) was _the_ thing that was became great in W8. It was okayish (apart from retarded filesystem search) since Vista, where it showed more into various Control Panel dialogs. MS was dumb to not sell it as the next coming of $deity.

  11. Re:Honestly? on Windows 10, From a Linux User's Perspective · · Score: 0

    I've been using windowsies since 3.0, am sorts-of poweruser, use linux boxes (UI) daily and W8 was fine. Get on with the times, gramps.

  12. Re:People actually liked the controller? on Behind the Scenes of Wii U Software Development · · Score: 1

    I like the controller. Much better having menus/maps on hands than going to menu and dig there. And then there's the asymmetric play (from common games seen in LEGO Marvel where other player can wander off and see his things on pad controller instead of splitscreen).

  13. Re:2 Words on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    Most of the mileage change comes from different speeds used winter/summertime. I have absolutely the same mileage when I switch to studded tyres but still drive summertime limits (100km/h). When the wintertime speed limits (80km/h) come and I drive them, I get better mileage. Summetime range is ~900km/80l and wintertime is 1000km/80l on my volvo s80 (this is what computer says and I'm never actually close to emptying the tank, it usually only takes 55l at 700-800km mark)

  14. Re:Bullshit. on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 1

    Yes IT is hurting for women. Like it or not, but women do approach things in different way than men do, and this lack of diversity in approaches hurts industry as a whole. It's the "have hammer, looking at nails" thing all over again.

  15. Re:Kinda digging Python on Van Rossum: Python Not Too Slow · · Score: 1

    return (a-1, a+1)[a > 0];

  16. Re:Windows didn't lose it on Linux Kernel Moves To Github · · Score: 2

    I'll have to metoo on that. No luck moving installations were it 2k/XP or Win7. But I've moved same linux installation (originally installed debian/potato(?), then repo-shifted to ubuntu/warty) from a HP Vectra (PPro 200) to self-built AMD 1800MP then to current Intel Q6600. And every single time, even though all underlying devices changed, linux just booted up. Sure I did copying from HD to HD to move from older media, but system itself didn't need major hear surgery.

  17. duh on New Red Dwarf Series Threatened By the Twitter Era · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How far into retardoland can these fucks get? It's like "oh no, artists can't do tours anymore since anyone can post their performance online".

  18. Forget the fame on Grad Student Looking To Contribute To Open Source · · Score: 1

    You know what? Forget this "contributing". fuck em all. Do what's interesting and the easiest thing for you. Find a project that does things you're interested in, look it through and find what will drive your own interests and make it better. Then when they update, update along. Notice that your changes tend to get lost. Learn making patches and send them to that project. They'll integrate them and your changes will not get lost when you get latest changes from that project. That's the laziest and easiest thing to do and have any fun at all.

    Screw duty and selfless contributing, it'll only earn you ulcers. Do the fun and laziest thing and get integrated into community.

  19. Re:doesn't seem that scandalous on First GNOME Census Results · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I still remember time when all of fedora & RedHat said a big FUCK YOU to any user wanting reasonably working 3D on desktop. That's user friendly for sure.

  20. Re:Thats a dumb assumption. on The Hell Known As Internet Screening Services · · Score: 1

    Well in reality you might get images/text that is in some way emotionally moving for you. For me personally if I'd see some abused kid I'd be interested in knowing what happened and if it worked out. It'd fucking haunt me, like a book left unread.

  21. Early adopters on The State of iPad Satisfaction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    FFS. These people are _early adopters_. They'll eat shit, thank you and grin happily.

  22. Re:UIKit != AppKit on Cross With the Platform · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I just looked up it from the clock, and the year seems to be 2010 and these fuckers are still making the same mistakes that Symbian did in 1995. They still think about mobiles like they'll always be different from desktops. Well guess what, they have nearly same capasity now that desktops have and *most* of their capabilities are in the same ballpark. But *noooooo* the fucktards need to have their own unique type of a fucking color.

    Fuck you, symbian & iphonetardos designers.

  23. Re:More power is nice, but has everyone forgotten. on First Look At Latest Ion-Infused Asus Eee PC · · Score: 1

    I have a HP5101 netbook here, mouse buttons are below trackpad. Some reviews bashed the extremely smooth trackpad, but IMO it's excellent.

  24. Re:Chromium Not Chrome on Google Chrome For Linux Goes 64-bit · · Score: 1

    I run Chromium on Ubuntu (9.04 and recent 9.10) x64 and it works well for youtube. Most annoying flash-ads worked too, but scrolling became slow & choppy on flash-laden pages (not so on windows/32 bit).

  25. Re:Intel Introduces Atom Chips For New Devices on Intel Introduces Atom Chips For New Devices · · Score: 1

    2.5W for cpu and 15W or so for chipset to get access to memory/etc. So not even in the ballpark.
