  1. The Revolution will not be Televised on Motherboard and VICE Are Building a Community Internet Network (vice.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It will be provided over a community run network.

  2. NO! And you're getting sued. Upgrade to Windows 10 immediately. The undead zombie lawsuit wants more BRAINS! Or legal fees, whichever.

  3. Incomprehensible on Broadcom Explores Buying Qualcomm (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Incomprehensible swallowing of giant Qualcomm by Giant Broadcomm which was itself swallowed by giant Avago technologies to form giant Broadcomm Limited which has 13 billion in revenue while Qualcomm has 23 billion in revenue (how is that possible?) which will form new company BROADQUAL which will be investigated by the Department of Justice under the Sherman Anti-Trust act for anti-competitive practices, which Qualcomm is already being investigated for. And I ended the run-on senctence with a preposition. We are running forward into the cattle.

  4. Fond memories of yesterday on Microsoft Engineer Installs Google Chrome During Presentation After Edge Freezes (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1
  5. Re:Bumper in Saskatchewan on Unsent Text On Mobile Counts As a Will, Australian Court Finds (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    "I leave all my money to KLHDSFHSKJD" That one will take 15-20 years of court time to resolve.

  6. Hoped against hope on Android O Is Now Officially Android Oreo (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Hoped they'd go with Orangutan feces, but that's just me.

  7. Steve Jobs's comments on Aesthetics on Safari Should Display Favicons in Its Tabs (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 5, Funny

    *Channeling Steve Jobs* A web browser is an experience. It needs clarity. It needs consistency. It needs to be beautiful. The toolbar area of Safari is beautiful. Notice the clean monochromatic appearance. Notice the lines, the pristine appearance, the unblemished look. It's perfect. It's sterling. It's absolute perfection. To introduce favicons would smear it with excrement. It would disturb its Zen tranquility. It would besmirch its purity. Yes, the Safari web browser, a thing of beauty is a joy forever.

  8. Baby needs a new pair of shoes!

  9. Hand wringing on Mozilla's Send is Basically the Snapchat of File Sharing (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    The complaining about Firefox. The endless complaining about Firefox. Where did they go wrong? Was it heartbleed, OpenSSL? The rapid release schedule? Copying Chrome's appearance? Pocket? Is it possible Mozilla could turn back the clock and create a stable, slow release version of Firefox? When is the hour of the art supplies?

  10. Lookee! on Uber Drivers Gang Up To Cause Surge Pricing, Research Says (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Funny

    Lookee! It's a market, a free market for transportation! Lookee, pricing is based on supply and demand! Lookee, inside actors are manipulating the market to their advantage! It's like Wall Street in microcosm.

  11. Kill the Alien Bastards. I can see them now, with their gray skin and their large black eyes. Jack Handey knows how to deal with scum like this. Introduce them to the flowers of earth. http://www.newyorker.com/magaz...

  12. Re:Do we need computers in schools. on Microsoft Targets Google and Apple in Schools With 'Surface Plus' Hardware Subscription Program (geekwire.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Agree with this completely. Which has greater impact on education, 5000 new computers or one good math teacher? If you wanted to teach children to code you could do it on an IBM XT from 1984. As you pointed out, maybe educators save on materials by going digital instead of paying for textbooks, but as to a computer's educational value, depends entirely on the teacher and what they are teaching.

  13. Re:Flame Bait on Is the iPhone 'Years' Ahead of Android In Photography? (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    This article is the geek equivalent of talking shit. ANDROID PHONES REPRESENT!

  14. Security on Apple's Next iPhone: Facial-Recognition, All-Screen Design (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Will they solve the problem of circumventing this technology with a photo of the person? Will law enforcement officials unlock your phone by holding it up to your face? When will they add a self destruct button for my phone?

  15. Re:webOS is a really good interface on Former webOS, Pebble Design Lead, Who Just Left Andy Rubin's Essential, Heads To Google (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are people always delighted with webOS? Back when HP tried to get into the tablet market with the Touchpad reviews of the UI were mostly positive. Had "real multitasking" before the iPad, etc. Has LG actually done anything with this OS?

  16. The time of the Tiny People on Samsung Ends Intel's 2-decade-plus Reign in Microchips (ap.org) · · Score: 2

    Intel can't beat ARM on cost, and the difference in performance is no longer as significant as it once was. Consumers value mobility more than power now. Cheap smartphone on Google returns search results ranging from $5 to $20.

  17. Possibly Useful on Twitter Added Zero New Users Last Quarter Despite Trump Tweets (nypost.com) · · Score: 1

    Heard it was useful in making spring arrive early. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  18. Ryzen has risen AMD from the ashes of Intel's crucifixion of them in the 2000s. I wonder what Andre Rison thinks about this new Ryzen processor? It will probably cause a rise in sales, with confidence on the rise.

  19. I salute him on One Man's Two-Year Quest Not to Finish Final Fantasy VII (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    I salute his effort to accomplish the impossible. I myself have been playing a game of Space Invaders for the past 12 years, washing my hands 27 times a day, spending 30 minutes pumping my gas so I can achieve maximum compression in the gas tank and engine, carefully examining my tuna sandwiches with a magnifying glass for any sign of lettuce, pickle, or tomato (which I hate), and cleaning my teeth with a special dental instrument I stole from the dentist office.

  20. Re:Basic Text Editor: ??? on Ask Slashdot: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop Default Application Survey · · Score: 1

    Pointless really. Microsoft established Notepad as the dominant standard in this niche and open source gurus are just fooling themselves with their babbling.

  21. i can't even believe the smash skum ha ha time. you think ibm is a tall tower with excrement flow. its not! it's not! flow blood in the damn urinary crank case with the stalled rotors. i have a hernia even looking at that land. who says the land is lazarus?

  22. Flavor on Ask Slashdot: Ubuntu 18.04 LTS Desktop Default Application Survey · · Score: 1

    Spearmint flavor. Also, although it's adware, Foxit Reader for PDF.

  23. Do you have a right to anonymity online? When we lived in the physical world instead of the virtual one, it was possible to express opinions and leak information through a media that was made of paper. Now, the online world provides all kinds of avenues to provide confidential information and criticism, but if the courts make it so protections don't apply online, then I guess people will have to return to the traditional methods.

    Okay.
