    No thank you. Also: bring back the old style keyboard, and trackpoint only option. Then maybe I'll consider Lenovo again. x61s forever.

  6. Semantics on Proxima Centauri Might Not Be the Closest Star To Earth · · Score: 4, Funny

    If it's not the closest, are we going to rename it?

    Governement should not subsidise anything. Ensuring proper regulation and competition is enough.

    Am I the only one appalled by such counterproductive use of tax dollars?
    Don't get me wrong, I like fibre and hate the usual suspects (TWC, Comcast, ...). But seriously? $8,500 per home and that's if the home actually subscribes to the service?

  14. Re:Le effect Streissand. on French Intelligence Agency Forces Removal of Wikipedia Entry · · Score: 0

    1- Maybe they would spell Streisand correctly?

    2- Let's imagine (crazy idea, I know) that their goal is the application of local law... they certainly know that this will create unwanted attention in the short run, but maybe that's a sacrifice they're willing to make to have wikimedia comply with local law?

    I was totally going to post that.

  16. They're free to do as they please on Seagate To Stop Making 7200rpm Laptop HDDs · · Score: 2

    Whether your focus is on performance, reliability or both, you have other areas that require much more attention than the FS.
