  1. No, of course not on Is Microsoft Quietly Lobbying Against Right-To-Repair Legislation? (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The company that brought us the BSA and their reign of terror would NEVER stoop so low as to prevent consumers from doing whatever they want with the property they paid for.

  2. Re:Those aren't muppets. on Apple TV+ Includes A Muppet Who Codes (deadline.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    In my long career, I've found that most muppets prefer to code in Visual Basic or Perl.

  3. Duh!!!! on More Than One Reality Exists (in Quantum Physics) (livescience.com) · · Score: 2

    Every time I talk to my boss, I know there's more than one reality.

  6. Re:Captain Obvious... on 2018 Was the 'Worst Year Ever' For Smartphone Shipments (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Most of those people already own cars as well. Doesn't mean they won't need a new car one day. Sooner or later, smartphone sales will stabilize the same way cars did after WWII. Some people will buy a new smartphone every year, just because that's what they do. Others will use their Galaxy 5 until it finally dies before they buy a new one.

  7. Re:Any NASA person who had financial difficulties. on NASA Is Back To Work, But the Effects of the Government Shutdown Linger (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Most Americans do not get an extra month of paid vacation near the holidays like this. These people are getting paid for that time, even though they did not show up and work.

    So clearly, you're either ignorant or a liar. Either government employess were forced to come to work without pay (like the TSA), or they were furloughed, meaning they didn't go to work AND didn't get paid (like the IRS). In NO way was there any "extra month of paid vacation" for ANYBODY.

    Go, go, Ken Doll. Ad hominum is all you've got. You and the rest of your lying kind.

    Of course, when you say "move even a little" you mean capitulate unconditionally to his temper tantrum.

    Good job. If you can't actually refute the truth, just insult the messenger.

  12. Re: Schumer Shutdown on Shutdown Hits Industries Nationwide (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cloture votes only happen for bills that are actually brought to the floor, which McConnell didn't do; so, again, tell me about how Senate Democrats "blocked" this from being voted on?

  13. KHAAAAAAAAAN!!!

    Please explain how Senate Democrats can block something from being voted on. I double-dog dare ya.

  15. Re: Schumer Shutdown on Shutdown Hits Industries Nationwide (wsj.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    They didn't NEED a supermajority to pass a simple bill, it's not like Trump was going to veto it. Fact is, you're just distracting from the absolute truth of what I said: The Republicans could have done this at any time if they had wanted to, and nobody could have stopped them -- except themselves.

    I wouldn't install X.0.0 of Eternal Life from Oracle.

    X.0.1 would be something like "removed Infinite Agony glitch."

  20. Re:You don't. on Ask Slashdot: How Can You Find a Good IT Consultant? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    True dat. The original question is: "How do you find a good (Windows) IT consultant", which is a subset of "good Windows IT", which is, of course, the null set.

  21. Re:TFA is ridiculous on 500,000 Duped Into Downloading Android Malware Posing As Driving Games On Google Play (forbes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    People download and install a game(s) that has "masses" of one-star reviews saying "this shit don't work" and "probably a virus" and clearly that's somehow Google's fault. Gotcha.

  22. Re:Facebook on Facebook Now Faces a Massive Backlash. But Will Anything Change? (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Because Facebook is spying on you even if you don't use it.

    Because every website that has a Facebook Like button on it is sending information about you back to Facebook.
    Because every website that loads Facebook Javascript is sending information about you back to Facebook.

    Facebook knows where on the Web you've been, what kinds of products you look at, what kinds of websites and articles you read, what your probable demographics, income and political views are. They know what kind of work you do. They know where your house is, within a quarter mile. They know what kind of restaurants and movies you like. If you share a machine with someone, Facebook can tell whether it's you or the other person using it. If you clear all your cookies or use a different machine, Facebook can quickly (re)determine that it's you.

    And that's all if you DON'T use Facebook.
