  1. 15 year old bug - basic new mail functionality on Thunderbird v60.0 Email Client Released (thunderbird.net) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    New Mail Notification Icon remains in Taskbar until manual "get new mail",

    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/s...

    15 years old, still "minor" and "unclassified".

  2. Absolutely.

  3. LOL @ hand held energy based weapons beating kinetics any time soon

    You're dreaming.

  4. MitM https proxies should be flagged too on In Encryption Push, Chrome Flags HTTP Sites as 'Not Secure' (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    All of this is pointless as long as we encourage corp IT firewall admins to completely break https with their MitM proxies that use fake wildcard certs and bogus CAs as part of a GP push.

  5. Re:The Administration that Keeps On Taking on HHS Plans To Delete 20 Years of Critical Medical Guidelines Next Week (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    What prevented the database from being copied/archived in the first place?

  6. Kotlin.

  7. Re: and nothing of value was gained on Windows 10 Spring Update Improves Linux On WSL With Unix Sockets and More (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    Because VMs are for chumps and I need bash/make/git et al tools to co-exist side by side in the same machine/fs etc? You know you can start windows binaries natively from cygwin, right?

  8. Re: and nothing of value was gained on Windows 10 Spring Update Improves Linux On WSL With Unix Sockets and More (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm room?

  9. Re:and nothing of value was gained on Windows 10 Spring Update Improves Linux On WSL With Unix Sockets and More (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    and you aren't competent enough to install cygwin?

  10. Re:Population growth is just momentum, actually on Coastal Megacity Karachi Is Running Out of Water (earther.com) · · Score: 1

    Religions arise from third world conditions and terribad education. It reflects the requirements to keep third world economics running - unbridled population expansion (a happy side effect being the self perpetuation of the religion that esposes it), and continued large scale ignorance.

  11. Re:Exceeded carrying capacity on Coastal Megacity Karachi Is Running Out of Water (earther.com) · · Score: 1

    Capitalist economies require exponential growth to be sustainable. No economics types seem to want to compare this to the effect of exponential growth on biosystems.

  12. > I'm not a network person

    IOW, nothing you say about networking should be taken seriously.

  13. Spoken like somebody who thinks blocking ICMP makes your system "more secure".

    Good luck with redirect and MTU discovery etc

  14. Re:Yet another 3rd party half assed fork attempt on Microsoft Built Its Own Custom Linux Kernel For Its New IoT Service (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a github repo filled with patches, not branches.

    So yes, an unmaintainable SET of read-only, poorly conceived forks. If they were useful, well written, and followed contribution guidelines they could have easily been integrated into upstream. But they're not.

    Please tell me how on earth you or anyone else is going to be able to keep that up to date, let alone contribute?

  15. Yet another 3rd party half assed fork attempt on Microsoft Built Its Own Custom Linux Kernel For Its New IoT Service (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So Microsoft released a custom kernel because the kernel maintainers wouldn't accept a second rate, poorly written patch set?

    How will they track upstream changes?

  16. "Well regulated" in context means "well trained and equipped", junior.

  17. Re:Notice the weak winter Sun is strengthening? on Flat Earther Plans New Rocket Launch, Predicts Super Bowl-Sized Ratings (phillyvoice.com) · · Score: 1

    Let me know if you can spot the North start from Australia.

    Better yet, describe the equation that relates linear distance from the equator with the angular elevation of the North Star

    Good luck, flat earth moron.

  18. My top two:

    Condorcet voting, perimeter/area ratio limits for districting.

  19. Re:Odd choice of words. on Super-Black Is the New Black (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Then every single thing in the universe contains "nanotechnology".

    Dumb.

  20. Odd choice of words. on Super-Black Is the New Black (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    "Technology"? Really?

  21. Re:By all means, give back on Bill Gates Is First Guest Editor In Time Magazine's 94-Year History (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep. Not a dime from Bill Gates to the FSF or the EFF.

    He really is a piece of work.

  22. I definitely don't see how requiring you to replace GCC and recompile every single binary is "chip-level".

  23. "Memory leak" has a specific meaning. on 'Kernel Memory Leaking' Intel Processor Design Flaw Forces Linux, Windows Redesign (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    That is not a memory leak.

  24. No mention of the increasing popularity of irony?

  25. Re:With adblocking this is not even an issue. on Firefox 57's Speed Secret? Delaying Requests from Tracking Domains (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    The number of js sources /. refers to is ridiculous. This site used to be run by more or less decent people. Now it really is run by scumbags.
