    MS has destroyed Edge/Trident so badly that they're moving toward a chromium based Edge.

    Is this good for the Chromium project? Microsoft programmers will be looking at the code.

  5. Re:If you're still doing end-user support after 30 on Ask Slashdot: Do Older IT Workers Doing End-User Support Find It Gets Harder With Age? · · Score: 2

    Take a look at OP job history;
    Bench tech, web designer, network manager, then consultant.

    Sounds like this guy was promoted along, then said fuck it I'm going to go get paid consultant money. Then said I'm done being a retail store and found some random ass help desk job just to do something.

    I see burn out, not the dumb.

  6. Look at the Source on Some Electric Car Drivers Might Spew More CO2 Than Diesel Cars, New Research Shows (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    All the article is saying is if you make dirty batteries, you get a dirty product. The spin on it was impressive saying fuck electric cars. (disclosure - telsa owner)

    After some google and linked in stalking, all the partners at the firm Berylls Strategic Advisors are a mouthpiece for the big oil think tank part of the Oliver Wyman firm.

    However the partner of Berylls (whom came from Audi and OW) is saying buy diesel cars instead.

    We all know German diesel cars are totally very much extremely only the best people clean. re: audi, vw

  8. rockstar almost has it on How 'Grand Theft Auto' Is Changing the Way the World Experiences Music (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    There seems to be a lot of radio stations but after awhile I find myself not even listening to it. It's the same repetitive songs and commercials every hour or so. It's like a Clear Channel station.

    The solutions are make each station 4 to 5 hours long to make it less likely to run into stuff.
    Integrate Spotify or insert music service here.

    Quarterly music changes for as long as the game is officially supported.. aka while it earns money.

    For a game that made 6 BILLION dollars, I think they can afford this feature.

    My take-aways.

  15. Equity on How Amazon Became Corporate America's Nightmare (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Making money is for chumps. Growing equity and convincing other people that you're worth a lot is the new way.
