  1. Re:Tell the old dogs on City of Munich Struggling With Basic Linux Functionality · · Score: 1

    Absolute horseshit!

    You're right. It's only about 5x as difficult, not 10x.

  2. Re:Idiocy. on City of Munich Struggling With Basic Linux Functionality · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Sure, keep insulting the people telling you that Linux just might have a problem or two. That'll surely convince them of the error of their ways.

    3) There weren't enough rich people who wanted to fly it often enough to make it profitable.

  4. C++ is a terrible language for most purposes. No good for system programming, and not great for application development.

    Well, that's one person's opinion. I mean, it's completely wrong, but it's an opinion.

  5. Re:Do damage to Bitcoin's reputation??? on Bitcoin Fork Divides Community · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin has been remarkably stable for quite a while now.

    If you count a 50% drop in a year remarkably stable, sure.

  6. Re:If it means I have to take Windows 10? on DirectX 12 Performance Tested In Ashes of the Singularity · · Score: 1

    Do you even know (or care) what it's sending back or did you just read the headlines and start freaking out about your privacy?

  7. How were these clearly bogus laws voted in, in the first place?

    The clue is in the first word of the headline.

  8. Re:Bravo on Samsung Finds, Fixes Bug In Linux Trim Code · · Score: 1

    Rather than the typical "Its not my code" response from a developer who is sure the problem is elsewhere (rightly or wrongly)

    Except that's exactly what happened (on the Linux side).

    Uh yeah, no. It has nothing to do with 'conservatism related to technology' and I'm not sure how you got that from my post.

  10. Re:quickly to be followed by self-driving cars on Are We Reaching the Electric Car Tipping Point? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No. I don't want a self-driving car. First, because I'm one of those weirdos that actually enjoys driving. Second, because I suffer from motion sickness if I'm in a vehicle that I'm not controlling. And third, I'm a software developer and therefore have no faith in software. :-b

    Yes, I'd rather people didn't leak classified information in the future.

    So why bitch about Windows and not the company providing the broken driver?

    The fact that they demonstrated vulnerabilities and then showed automakers multiple ways how to avoid such things (#1 firewall or separate networks; #2 technology to detect and kill anomalous signals)

    Or, I don't know, how about not hooking up the car's controls to any network at all? Why is that even a thing?

    The biggest assholes?

    It's cute that you think the politically correct crowd has some kind of monopoly on ignoring horrible behavior.

    Clinton would have been judged completely differently by the anti-PC (read, conservative) crowd too. Do you think the GOP would have been so gung-ho about investigating the Lewinsky scandal if Bill was a Republican?

  16. Re:Will these still die as quickly? on Samsung Releases First 2TB Consumer SSD For Laptops · · Score: 2

    You're doing something wrong if you're wearing out an 850 in a consumer environment. You're also doing something wrong if you're using an 850 in an enterprise environment.

  17. Re:Idiotic Question! Answer: Price, Range, and .. on Why Electric Vehicles Aren't More Popular · · Score: 1

    40 miles electric. 300 miles+ gas at 37MPG.

    So you don't actually have an electric car. Bzzt! Disqualified!

  18. Re:How is this news for nerds? on Supreme Court Ruling Supports Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 2

    Because a) polygamous marriages are usually an excuse for some guy to build a harem, or there is often some kind of brainwashing or mistreatment going on; and b) there would be a huge legal mess about ownership of property and rights over children and so forth.

    But if someone wants to start trying to push it through the courts they can go ahead.

    Amazingly, Thomas actually went against Scalia this week on the Texas Confederate license plate case.

    It's been well documented that you're wrong. Sorry.

    No, actually, it's you who seems confused. The basis of this ruling is is hardly something new. Scalia, in another case, made the exact argument that you need to consider the context of the actual text. Of course, now that that argument doesn't give him the outcome he wants, he completely flip-flopped for this case, but that's Scalia for you.

    This was not a case of poor word choices

    You know how sometimes people are completely wrong? This is one of those times.

    But do people actually believe someone who flies the flag is saying bring back slavery or a succession from the Union?

  25. Re:Boo hoo... on Google, Apple, and Others Remove Content Related To the Confederate Flag · · Score: 1

    but when the Civil war broke out it was not all about slavery.

    Yes, actually, it was. Many of the seceding states specifically cited the preservation of slavery as the reason they wanted out.
