  1. Re: It's a TRAP!!!!! on AT&T Calls For Net Neutrality Laws After Fighting To End FCC Rules (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    And political candidates would never use repealing their predecessors' laws as a major plank in their platform.

  2. Re:How bout NO! on Apple Adds Medical Records Feature For iPhone (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Facts have no place in the mind of an Anonymous bigot.

  3. Re:We view the future . . . on Apple Adds Medical Records Feature For iPhone (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Because Apple wants to be shut down over publicly violating HIPAA. Perhaps you think you're cute, but you're actually a moron and a bigot.

  4. Re:No on Apple Adds Medical Records Feature For iPhone (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    I send WhatsApp messages to my wife every day without unlocking my phone. You need a better phone, or you need an education.

  5. Re:No on Apple Adds Medical Records Feature For iPhone (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Which piece-of-shit phone requires unlocking to answer a call?

  6. Are you one of those who also complain about newer releases slowing down older hardware, or are you at least a tiny bit consistent?

  7. Re:Is that illegal? on EU Fines Qualcomm $1.2 Billion for Paying Apple To Use Its Microchips (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Since when is a manufacturer choosing a single supplier for a part considered monopoly behavior? Qualcomm was free to sell to others, and others were free to buy from Qualcomm's competitors.

  8. Re:Too much delta-v? on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that most people never think.

  9. Re:Trucking recognition on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The fact that the airbags didn't fire would suggest that if autopilot was engaged, it did a great job slowing the vehicle. It's not magic. It can't bring the vehicle to a dead stop the moment it detects an obstacle.

  10. Re:Should have said the brakes failed on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla has no liability for misuse of any feature of the vehicle. At least, not yet.

  11. Re: Drunk Tesla Haiku on Tesla Owner Attempts Autopilot Defense During DUI Stop (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A system which functions to assist the driver ("pilot") should instead be named after a person capable of driving (flying) without assistance from the driver (pilot)? Perhaps you should rethink that. Or possible, just think.

  12. Re:So I keep hearing about Slack on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Slack is a tool for people who want to get work done with other people. IRC is where you go to slack off. The difference may be hard to discern for people who prefer ignorance, but Slack does a shitload more than IRC, and it doesn't require a nerd education to use effectively.

  13. Re:So I keep hearing about Slack on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I use Slack all the time. I was using it a short while ago, to communicate with a coworker who is also at home (it's 11:00 PM as I write this). It's also quite useful in the office, as an open floor plan precludes constant conversation.

  14. Re:Not confusing at all... nosiree. on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 0

    Only if you mean "Linux nerds" when you write "technical people". Or ignoramuses.

  15. Re:Missing the point on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Many of my coworkers use Linux on their work laptops. We all use Slack.

  16. Re:Only 147 MB on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    IRC does one tiny part of what Slack does. It's not a replacement any more than a U-Haul is a replacement for a cargo train.

  17. Re:Only 147 MB on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Does IRC support code formatting, snippets, utf8, images, and random attachments? To name a few things I use all the time with Slack.

  18. Re:Is this progress? I don't know. on Slack Now Available As a Snap For Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    On macOS, Slack is 75MB on disk. A far cry from 650.

  19. Where's the source? on Apple Is Blocking an App That Detects Net Neutrality Violations (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd love to run the app on my device. Where's the repo or a zip of the source?

  20. Re:Swedes try product because of marketing on Contraceptive App Natural Cycles Blamed For String of Unwanted Pregnancies (standard.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I am sure there is a clinical term for you, but you are definitely an aberration. As far as we can tell, all species consider their own to be more valuable than other animals. Humans definitely do.

  21. Re:Because you gave consent to Uber... on Why Uber Can Find You but 911 Can't (wsj.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    If you used a phone with a proper permission system, you'd know you were giving permission for location data, or you're willfully ignorant (didn't read the prompt), and who the fuck cares what happens to willfully-ignorant people?

  22. Re: This one! ;-) on Which JavaScript Framework is the Most Popular? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 2

    It’s the extra apostrophe’s killing bandwidth.

  23. Re:Android Anyone? on 20 Years Later, Has Open Source Changed the World? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Both of the top-two mobile OSes are based on open source, though iOS less-so.

  24. Re:Open source has changed the world on 20 Years Later, Has Open Source Changed the World? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    MS doesn't have to pay itself license fees. (I have no idea what accounting games go on, but no real money leaves MS.) And Azure is relatively new in the game.

  25. Re:Open source has changed the world on 20 Years Later, Has Open Source Changed the World? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I've dealt with many MS people over the years. None of them would have made such a ridiculous claim. I'm guessing you make shit up because you have an irrational hatred for MS.
