  1. Re:From more secure to less secure platform on Microsoft To Integrate 3rd-party Security Info Into Its Windows Defender Advanced Threat Protection Service (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Kinda like the USB threat from a few days ago? I kid, I kid.

  2. Let me put it this way. You read a book. When you are done with it and you move you decide to give it away.

    You: What a waste of money it was in buying it and giving it to someone, I lost x dollars!!!
    Sane person: I'll remember what I read and apply that knowledge in the future, sweet!!!

  3. Re:If it aint' broke on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Hard Truths IT Must Learn To Accept? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell that to my company, report crashes are sent by email and never looked at since there are 1000s of them and it is information overload. It's not broken, it's working as intended. A simple error service sending crash reports to a database where metrics can be run would really benefit my company but they have your thinking...it is not broken so we aren't going to fix it.

  4. Re:The Cloud is your enemy. on Ask Slashdot: What Are Some Hard Truths IT Must Learn To Accept? (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    They should fire you for thinking that. Small companies with limited budgets can't pay for in-house hardware and hiring people to manage it.

  5. Re:I used to have this problem too. on Munich Plans New Vote on Dumping Linux For Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Find the Office365 equivalent in open source. There is none and never will be. In todays world, working more efficiently means integrating everything together, like Office365 does. Again, find me the equivalent in open source software and in productivity.

  6. Re:Libre office is BETTER on Munich Plans New Vote on Dumping Linux For Windows 10 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Libre office is NOT BETTER. It's equivalent to Microsoft Office from the early 2010s. All my office needs I can do online, and it all integrates together, from CRM, email, timesheets, etc. Can open source software do that?

  7. Stupid Premise on Slashdot Asks: Does the World Need a Third Mobile OS? · · Score: 1

    Why didn't you claim the same thing when Tesla joined the fray? You could have said: Does the world need a 17th (or whatever car maker count we are at) car maker?

  8. Re:The most stupid title. on The World's Oldest Scientific Satellite is Still in Orbit (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The moon is not a scientific satellite.

  9. Re:We need more guns on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    It does make it worse. In a panic situation, a good guy with a gun will be viewed as the bad guy by those whom can't see or know where the bad guy is. Cops might even shoot the good guy and ask questions later in the mayhem.

  10. Re: D'oh! on Ask Slashdot: Whatever Happened To the 'Year of Linux on Desktop'? · · Score: 2

    What if they don't have someone to set it up for them? I doubt my parents would be able to get a linux machine up and running.

  11. Re:Not smart and not right on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 1

    Except Spain has a clause in its constitution that doesn`t allow exiting the country, Scotland and Quebec don`t have the same clause constitutionally.

  12. Re:Not smart, but it is right on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 1

    Ah so you support changing the US constitution since it was decided long ago from your ancestors?

  13. Re:MS is probably trying to do as Stallman says on Richard Stallman vs. Canonical's CEO: 'Will Microsoft Love Linux to Death?' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    And what program would that be that you are having trouble with?

  14. Re:You have to look at the source on Do Strongly Typed Languages Reduce Bugs? (acolyer.org) · · Score: 1

    Typescript is a subset of javascript in the end, how is it a bad language?

  15. Re:That's the one?! on Bill Gates Says He's Sorry About Control-Alt-Delete (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Funny, your list is missing.

  16. Re:Uh, Chrome vs Firefox is all that matters on Google Chrome Most Resilient Against Attacks, Researchers Find (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Internet Explorer has more market share than Firefox. Edge != Internet Explorer.

  17. Re:MS still dreaming of winodws mobile on Windows 10 Will Soon Give Users More Control Over App Permissions (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    What about the Raspberry Pi? It runs UWP apps.

  18. Re:Yippee Kai-ya on Android Always Beats the iPhone To New Features, Qualcomm Says (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Boo-hoo-hoo. When did Android get 64 bit CPUs?.

    You do know that currently it's a marketing scheme to have 64 bit CPUs for phones? There are no apps that need more than 4 gigs of memory, and if there are, they are coded poorly.

  19. Re:True... but so what? on Android Always Beats the iPhone To New Features, Qualcomm Says (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    My GS4 is still running great with the original battery!

  20. I have an idea on Boffins Fear We Might Be Running Out of Ideas (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Maybe these scientists are trained using the same mold thus limiting unique idea generation (in the brain)? One truly needs to think outside the box to enable different viewing angles to problems, something one is less likely to have if he is taught like the average Joe besides you.

  21. Re:Shovelware sucks on How Proprietary Software Lets Companies Cheat (locusmag.com) · · Score: 1

    My Telus GS4 didn't have facebook pre-installed. I installed it later and recently uninstalled it.

  22. Re: Not impressed on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    But that is not the case, what is the point of discussing something that won't happen?

  23. Re: Not impressed on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Two assumptions makes you doubly an ass? You do know that android is not like iPhones and makers can choose to do whatever they want like adding physical or virtual buttons,so they are free to decide on keeping headphone jacks.

  24. Re:Still no mount events! on Linux Kernel 4.13 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    So the solution is to not have the events?

  25. Re:Still no mount events! on Linux Kernel 4.13 Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    "Udev had mount event support but it was so buggy and wrong that they decided to remove it completely!" Why didn't someone fix it instead of removing it? Isn't that the beauty of open source and possible downfall?
