    Only took 15 years to get tcp/ip into windows.

    Makes sense it took another 15 to get it a reasonable shell.

    And it would make a terrible driver's car because all of those things that make a car autonomous have severe engineering drawbacks (weight, complexity, reliability at the edge of the performance envelope, etc.) for track use.

    The problem Broadcom has in comparison with other SoC makers is they never open source their drivers except under extreme duress.

    Broadcom absolutely sucks to work with in every way. They are truly awful, even if you are doing closed source development and sign all their NDAs ad nauseum.

    What would we do without visionaries like Bill Gates imagining cheaper computers?

    He never imagined cheap technology for anybody. He wants everybody to pay up, always has.

    How could he get as rich as he did w/o government subsidy in the form of statutory monopoly?

  18. Bill's dream? Please. What a joke. on What Might a $50 Tablet Inspire? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bill Gate's dream is a world completely run by proprietary software, and a business model subsidized by government enforced statutory monopoly.

    Artificial barriers to entry is exactly preventing technology from being available to the underprivileged.

    The idea that Gates wants ANYBODY to have cheap computing technology is laughable. Water? Fine. Anything more advance than that? Tough luck. Pay your lords, serfs.

  20. Re:This is ridiculous on There Is No .bro In Brotli: Google/Mozilla Engineers Nix File Type As Offensive · · Score: 1

    The negative connotation of the term was invented by guys calling eachother "bro" and engaging in misogynist behaviour which sometimes includes predatory sexual practices that can extend to rape.

    They did not assign that meaning to the word bro. You (and others) just did, to disparage a subgroup of men, not women.

    Hmm, so you state that I'm clearly a guy who hates men,

    Why else would you call a misandrist term misogynist? Especially if the negative connotation of the term was invented by misandrists?

    Also, a maximum PPM of toxic elements would be helpful so we can figure out if we have to go full triple filtered reverse osmosis or if a standard carbon filter would do the trick.

    Sorta like they did for PPMs of aggression, aka, microaggressions?

    Pluralizing "aggression" wasn't enough for them.

    I'd instantly get a mental image of the developers being a bunch of frat boys high-fiving calling each other bro.

    So because you're clearly a misandrist (and assume "bro" denigrates men), "bro" is somehow misogynist instead?

    I'm not even sure Orwell envisioned such a level of semantic contortion was possible.

    "bro" is offensive

    Reminder: The only negative connotation to "bro" is against MEN, not women.

    How is that even a clearly misandrist term becomes magically misogynist because it is sexist?
