  1. Re:Mod parent up on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 1

    1v1 me on Rust, feget betch. Fek ur mom

  2. Re:Diplomatic pouch? on WikiLeaks' Assange Hopes To Exit London Embassy "Soon" · · Score: 2

    The US has an exception to the rule that statesf: If a foreign diplomat is deemed a spy, fuck it. It goes back to the cold war era.

  3. Re:Okay, then... on Xiaomi's Next OS Looks Strikingly Similar To iOS · · Score: 1

    China's copying of everyone else's technology is a cancer on the world's economy

  4. trolls are a myth on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 2

    Let me state the current definition of a troll: someone who disagrees with you. There is NOBODY out there posting stupid comments on purpose to cause arguments and screw with people. I've certainly never seen it.

  5. there goes that on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 1

    Africa's amazing level of civility is going to screw this up for everyone. I would immediately send UN armed troops there to guard it 24/7 and stop all flights and trains and buses out of Liberia as a precaution and punishment.

  6. Re:They fired 30% of their testers on Windows 8.1 Update Crippling PCs With BSOD, Microsoft Suggests You Roll Back · · Score: 0

    The remaining 70% are testing how much screwing with people it takes to convince them all to buy Windows 9.

  7. a case of the Mondays on Windows 8.1 Update Crippling PCs With BSOD, Microsoft Suggests You Roll Back · · Score: 2

    One of the Window 7/8 glitches basically went like this. I changed the kernel mode drivers and now I'm going to reboot. Hey, it looks like a glorified temp file called fntcache.dat that's a cache for font-related stuff is corrupt. Should I keep loading the OS? OH HELL NO! Fuck everything! I quit! *blue screens*
    Mega case of the Mondays. Seriously, who coded it to crash the entire OS if a font cache seems to be a bit off instead of regenerating or renaming it?

  8. their new motto on Windows 8.1 Update Crippling PCs With BSOD, Microsoft Suggests You Roll Back · · Score: 1, Funny

    Microsoft: "Where we don't really give a shit until Windows 9 comes out"

  9. The proposed name was the Bing Binger by Bing®

  10. not smart on Financial Services Group WCS Sues Online Forum Over Negative Post · · Score: 5, Funny

    Why did WCS hire Barbara Streisand? She doesn't know anything about investing.

  11. Re:better summary on The Billion-Dollar Website · · Score: 1

    I've never met anyone who's so polarized politically that they can't actually read...until now.

  12. better idea on Correcting Killer Architecture · · Score: 1

    1. fire artists
    2. hire engineers

  13. better summary on The Billion-Dollar Website · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't hire people who have failed multiple projects in the past just because they were friends of the Obama campaign. At least that's what my finding determined.

  14. ohhhh crap on Microsoft Black Tuesday Patches Bring Blue Screens of Death · · Score: 1

    THAT'S WHAT THAT WAS?! I thought it was just a problem with our new computer. For the record, it only happens upon login when a computer is running a fresh install of AutoCAD 2014. At least that's been my experience. I need to go block this from WSUS immediately.

  15. Re:That would include Java then... on Google Expands Safe Browsing To Block Unwanted Downloads · · Score: 1

    I doubt coinstallers are what they block considering the side stuff is downloaded as a separate MSI on the fly while the original installer is running. It sounds like they'll block "flash player pro" and ilivid and others that hide behind fake download button ads THAT THEY THEMSELVES HOST WITH FUCKING ADSENSE!

  16. I have a better idea on Cisco To Slash Up To 6,000 Jobs -- 8% of Its Workforce -- In "Reorganization" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They need to shift focus on lowering prices and not letting the NSA spy on people.

  17. what an idiot on Apple's Diversity Numbers: 70% Male, 55% White · · Score: 1

    "According to CEO Tim Cook, he's unhappy with Apple's diversity numbers and says Apple is working to improve them"
    Here, let me paraphrase what he said. We're going to try our hardest to hire people based on their skin color and gender instead of who is most qualified for the job.

  18. Re:Betteridge on The IPv4 Internet Hiccups · · Score: 2

    It's TCAM, not RAM, which is A LOT faster than RAM. That's why it's a problem that it's over 512k. Most routers have more than 0.5MB of RAM.

  19. Re:Automated notice not necessary here on Comcast Drops Spurious Fees When Customer Reveals Recording · · Score: 1

    Wow, I didn't know it was a state thing instead of a Federal thing. Anyone got a full list by state of what's allowed?

  20. I don't get it on The Fiercest Rivalry In Tech: Uber vs. Lyft · · Score: 1

    So why does nobody think they'll get kidnapped by random strangers who use Uber and Lyft?

  21. Re:Welcome to the Streisand effect. on Geneticists Decry Book On Race and Evolution · · Score: 1

    Well it was written and edited by Barbara Streisand after all.

  22. Re:Are You Kidding? on Geneticists Decry Book On Race and Evolution · · Score: 1

    Because everything is racist these days. Saying Asians are short is racist. Saying blue-eyed people can distinguish between colors and see UV light better is racist. Whether or not it's true is completely irrelevant.

  23. um no on Do Dark Matter and Dark Energy Cast Doubt On the Big Bang? · · Score: 1

    They cast doubt on scientists' ability to do math. There has never been any verifiable evidence that it exists and it has never been measured.

  24. great news! on Netflix Now Works On Linux With HTML5 DRM Video Support In Chrome · · Score: 1

    This is great news! Now I can refurb laptops that have HDMI but are generally not so fast and had XP or Vista with Ubuntu and sell them as netflix devices. I've had a lot of requests for $50-100 netflix devices that can surf the web. They're cheaper than the price difference on non-smart and smart TVs and they're a hell of a lot more upgradeable. What I find most surprising is that Chrome runs on Linux. I had no idea!

  25. The perfect routers on Ask Slashdot: Life Beyond the WRT54G Series? · · Score: 1

    The ASUS RT-N12 is siiiiick and the ASUS RT-N16 is legendary. They're hyper-intelligent and dirt cheap. One's made the Realtek gear and the other with Broadcom. They can handle 30,000 and 300,000 incoming concurrent connections respectively without jamming. They're all I sell at my shop. They can also take aftermarket firmware.
