  1. Re:Where to now? on Verizon Workers Can Now Be Fired If They Fix Copper Phone Lines (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking about that, pending the outcome of the election. I'm fluent in Canadian, too.

  2. As long as it has a 39 inch whip antenna on Samsung's Next Flagship Smartphone May Not Feature a Headphone Jack (sammobile.com) · · Score: 1

    .... for the built-in FM radio, I won't need wired headphones.

    Oh wait, they need batteries? Forget it.

  3. Nixon vs. The Joker? on Online Journalists Launch An Onslaught Against Donald Trump (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Either way, you can't blame me. I'm voting for Johnson, AKA Neither Of The Above.

  4. Re:Makes perfect sense on New iPhone 7 Case Brings Back the Headphone Jack (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    If I didn't have a headphone attached, I wouldn't be able to listen to FM radio on my $70 Blu, because you need a fairly large antenna for good reception. How does the radio on the Apple 7 do it?

  5. Re:I guess I'm the first to comment because on Boot Linux (or OpenBSD Or Oberon Or FreeDOS) In Your Browser (copy.sh) · · Score: 1

    Playing with what?

    Oh.

  6. Re:That's awesome.. on Germany Unveils a Hydrogen-Powered Passenger Train (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless it's generated at night, from windmills that can't give away electricity.

  7. Better idea on YouTube Is Looking for Volunteers To Improve Its Site (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Delete all present You tube content, and start over.

  8. Linux.

  9. Re:dont blame the PC on HP Printers Have A Pre-Programmed Failure Date For Non-HP Ink Cartridges (myce.com) · · Score: 1

    And to think she could have been elected Vice President. Or worse ...

  10. Photoshop! on Adobe Resurrects Flash Player On Linux (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Screw your flash player. Let's have some real apps.

  11. Re:Meh on Should We Kill All The Mosquitoes? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    We drove the smallpox virus to extinction.

  12. Re:Do not buy their phones on Android Companies Keep Pretending That Android Doesn't Exist (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I just got a Blu for $70, dual sim GSM unlocked. The only thing I dislike is I can't get the google stuff that I never use off it.

  13. Re:possible cause... on Android Users More Honest and Humble Than iPhone Users, Study Says (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 1

    So I can become wealthy by buying an iPhone?

  14. Re:"Will Only Support Windows 10" on New Intel and AMD Chips Will Only Support Windows 10 (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    No, the headline should have read: "Your choices will be Windows 10 or Linux; no Win7." So, good news for Linux.

  15. ... is the age and gender of the shooter noteworthy?

  16. Re: SystemD? on Systemd Rolls Out Its Own Mount Tool (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that Kodak and not Polaroid?

    Yes, and the odd thing is that Kodak engineers invented digital imaging. Then Kodak bean counters thought it would cut into their film profits.

  17. Re:Nigerian method of rerouting transactions? on Nigerian Scammers Infect Themselves With Own Malware, Reveal New Fraud Scheme (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Everything from Sicily south is corrupt.

  18. Metal roofs can have quite a few problem in residential installations (e.g., condensation, noise, ice dams), so it isn't a panacea.

    Having lived under a metal roof for ten years, I respectfully respond that you're full of shit. There's no condensation if properly ventilated, we barely notice if it's raining hard, and ice dams would just sit there instead of leaking in like a shingle roof.

  19. Re:Duh on Bernie Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    What's your dog's name? He's got two votes so far.

  20. Two in one? on Dell Stops Selling Android Tablets (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    As long as the other OS is Linux, I'll have a look at it.

    Oh, that's not what they mean?

  21. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupidCauseTheSubjectIsTFA on Big Tech Squashes New York's 'Right To Repair' Bill (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    In New York, we call it "business as usual".

  22. Re:Apple Fuckbois Deserve It on 'Headphone Jacks Are the New Floppy Drives' (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    GNU/Linux is not Android/Linux. ChromeOS is closer... but still Google. I give them props, though, for kicking Microsoft off the fondleslab market.

  23. I don't know who Jill Stein is, but she's not Clinton, Trump, Satan, or Hitler so she gets my vote.

  24. Re:Why all mass scamming works on Interview With A Craigslist Scammer (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I like to carry the phone to the loo where I give them an earful of at least a #1, bonus points for a #2. And there's always the "OK, wait a minute while I go find my credit card". Or just ask, "Does your mother know you're a criminal?" if you just want them to get pissed and hang up.

  25. Why have any ports at all? on 'Headphone Jacks Are the New Floppy Drives' (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    Inductively charge, bluetooth in and out. Have a sealed system, immersible to 500M and totally irreplaceable anything inside. Headphones to be surgically implanted in the customer.
