  1. Fuck you ma bell and whatever name cable conglomerate, we want the ability to choose some one else, and unfortunately the small guys cant do it and it takes something like google to pry open that tiny little crack

    Maybe once there is realistic competition the rather heavy price we pay for frankly shit service will correct itself

  2. I took the bus once on A 2:15 Alarm, 2 Trains and a Bus Get Her To Work by 7 AM (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The one time I took a city bus, it made a half hour drive into a 3 hour adventure, never even considered public transportation ever again.

  3. Re:It certainly affects student ownership of cars on Uber and Lyft May Cause Lower Car Ownership In Big Cities, Says Report (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    we have an intern this year that at 20 has no plans of even attempting to get a DL, and its a burden on the guys who live on his side of town to schedule a transportation plan for this guy and then go drive him almost 40 min across town.

    I don't see how one could possibly expect to have a industrial career and think he is going to live down town within walking distance of everything his heart could desire

    doesn't help he is an arrogant prick on top of it all

    Golden Girls

  5. I love working in a open space on Apple Employees Rebelling Against Apple Park's Open Floor Plan, Report Says (neowin.net) · · Score: 3, Funny

    When I want to goof off or yap on for a half hour with the guys its great, its a fucking nightmare if you have to actually DO any work or god forbid have a phone call with a customer or a supplier

  6. yep, just what I expected on Tesla Model 3 Test Drive: Car Has Bite and Simple Interior (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    Another butt ugly tesla with design ques from 2-3 different good looking cars and slapped together with all the cheapness of a low cost GM

  7. Re:Cost is a killer on OpenMoko: Ten Years After (vanille.de) · · Score: 1

    This is true, I recently had to get a new android phone and it annoyed me just setting it up, I don't want to poke and tweak my phone all day, I got a lot of other stuff that needs to be done and I just don't care about that type of stuff anymore

  8. one should be so lucky with a college degree these days

  9. why haven't I?

    cause if I keep their cable I get 100Mb internet + TV for roughly 16$ more a month than paying for their 10Mb stand alone

  10. Don't care on NASA Has a Way to Cut Your Flight Time in Half (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I recently took a ~4 hour flight, and spent almost 6 in the airport tween TSA sloths, the cattle car of an airplane being loaded, delays on the runway, getting my luggage at baggage claim, and waiting for a fucking bus to go to the car rental place

    Then to top it off, it doesnt matter how early or late my flight is, or where I am going, I always get there at either morning or afternoon rush hour

  11. I am too fuckin lazy to shop for myself, you are working with a "well-known rock band" and yet trying to crowd source a phone plan

    JFC

  12. Re:Obvious Hollywood shill is obvious on Nolan's Cinematic Vision in 'Dunkirk' is Hollywood's Best Defense Against Netflix (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    I forget what movie it was, but it started off with like a 20 hour god damned commecial about all its digital flickering mirrors state of the art bullshit, and the first scene of the movie was a slow flyover with a very fast pan, and I had to close my eyes the studder and framerate actually made me feel a little sick

  13. that and the quality of experience is usually poor

    you got random people with phones and mouths popping up all the time
    the picture is typically fuzzy
    the sound is almost ALL BASSSSSSSS
    and to watch a 90 min movie takes over 2 hours by the time they actually get started

  14. Re:I dont want 90% of it on Ask Slashdot: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop Default Application Survey · · Score: 1

    well now days even debian comes with more or less the entire ubuntu set of vomitware, the only way to get around it is to install from minimal cd, do not install anything but the basic command line tools and go from there

  15. I dont want 90% of it on Ask Slashdot: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop Default Application Survey · · Score: 1

    It drives me nuts that you install a distro it has libreoffice, and 2 other word processors 3 draw programs and the gimp, 4 fucking terminal emulators, FIREFOX (puke) and 100,000 little widgets I will never ever open

  16. Re:But when can we expect Realmedia support? on Chromium To Get Support For MP3 (browsernative.com) · · Score: 1

  17. and no one gave a flying fuck

  18. All of our lawmakers are ignorant shit for brain's who dont know the difference tween their ass and a hole in the ground, make any argument you like as long as you are convincing, and have a fuckton of money, its good enough!

  19. Re:I worked at an amusement park through college on US Increases Number of H-2B Visas By 15,000 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    these are actually jobs Americans don't want.

    I dunno either, just like the original 26% given, what does that mean?
