  1. Re:If you think that was hard... on 'I Tried to Block Amazon From My Life. It Was Impossible.' (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    I think it's a matter of scale? Along those lines:

    "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power" - Mussolini

  2. Re:Story Structure? on Massive Collaborative Text Adventure 'Cragne Manor' Released (rcveeder.net) · · Score: 2

    Someone please mod parent up.

  3. Not a buffer overflow on The Internet Has a Huge C/C++ Problem and Developers Don't Want to Deal With It (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What the author describes is not a buffer overflow. Article is ill-informed click-bait.

  4. Just thank the stars that the headline wasn't a question...

  5. I'm sure we'll take his words to heart and make some smart decisions like we did with the MIC.

    And just think of the possibilities of a combo.

    Peter- "Oh, wonderful, we have to get these two together."
    Egon - "I think that would be extraordinarily dangerous."

    Only a matter of time.

  6. Re:"peculiar institution"? on Python Joins Movement To Dump 'Offensive' Master, Slave Terms (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    So it's a term that only someone immersed in thinking about slavery would ever normally use or even encounter and recognize. That explains things. People coming at thinking about slavery from the negative side (slavery bad, which I agree with) are getting so wrapped up in it they are getting as warped as the people thinking on it from the other side (white supremacists I suppose.) So the former are now treating the general population as if they were the latter. But we aren't and really just wish both would fuck right off.

  7. Re:Still not better than Norton Commander on Microsoft Open-Sources Original File Manager From the 1990s So It Can Run On Windows 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Preach it brother. Midnight Commander is the best. Thunar and the like are pretty, but work gets done with mc.

  8. Re:We'd get these in a 5 yrs on Intel Unveils New Coffee Lake 8th Gen Core Line-Up With First Core i9 Mobile CPU (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    They seriously need to check their prices too. I just retired an I3 machine taking only the vid and p/s to the new one, and had a thought about keeping the old one going with a slightly upgraded cpu. Seeing I5's going for only slightly less than the Ryzen 1700X I just went with for my main, I changed my mind quickly. Utterly ridiculous.

  9. Re:Finally! on The US Drops Out of the Top 10 In Innovation Ranking (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Thanks for poisoning yet another discussion with partisan shit because surely there can be no other factors at work. Nope, the US plummeted straight off a cliff and we'll be living in caves this time next year. Fuckwit.

  10. Re:Never rely on defaults... on 'How Chrome Broke the Web' (tonsky.me) · · Score: 1

    It's more effective than being snarky from momma's basement.

  11. Re:Titles are adding in words for the hell of it on Half the Universe's Missing Matter Has Just Been Finally Found (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    To make matters worse, as opposed to the summary the headline makes it sound like they only found half of the missing matter.

  12. Access denied on Study Finds Yoga Works As Well As Physical Therapy For Back Pain (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if it cured cancer and I had it, my wife would likely demand to escort me to and from a yoga studio.

  13. A distinction without meaning. The OS was released almost two YEARS ago.

  14. Free sandblasting every time someone lifts off or lands next to you. Maybe a center out pattern of landings could facilitate the process of the parking area keeping itself clear.

  15. Re:Protectionism never works on IEEE: New H-1B Bill Will "Help Destroy" US Tech Workforce · · Score: 1

    It's the corporate leaders that benefit from off-shoring who decide on the big political contributions, not the workers who don't. The workers are divvied up with ads paid for by the contributions anyway.

  16. Re:it solves some unicode issues on Systemd Adding Its Own Console To Linux Systems · · Score: 1

    What's hilarious is that isn't what is happening, and you wide-eyed hucksters coming out all "golly-gee" and try to bullshit us that it is.

    Wait, that's not hilarious.

    Have you seen their UI?

  19. Re:Electric. on Future of Cars: Hydrogen Fuel Cells, Or Electric? · · Score: 2

    You reminded me of this:

    What's the difference between Americans and Europeans?
    Europeans think 100 miles is a long way, and Americans think 100 years is a long time.

  20. Re:What A Beautiful Idea on Carpenter Who Cut Off His Fingers Makes "Robohand" With 3-D Printer · · Score: 1

    Liam had Amniotic Band Syndrome happen to that hand. Nothing to do with genetics. As the parent of child with a similar condition, thank you for confirming my fears as to how she will be perceived by people. :(

  21. Re:Ever wonder why US unscrambled GPS Signals. on NSA and GCHQ Target "Leaky" Phone Apps To Scoop User Data · · Score: 1

    While I don't agree with the op's premise, if you encourage civilian devices to use it while knowing you can tap or otherwise access all the logs of the receiving devices (vehicles/OnStar, phones), then...?

  22. Re:"Concerns" on Paging Dr. MacGyver: Maker Movement Comes To Medical Gear · · Score: 1

    robohand.net

    I for one am happy to have the chance to produce a working set of fingers for my daughter, while waiting for pediatric i-limb digits type devices to a) exist and b) cost less than $100K. Currently available prosthetic devices are also crazy expensive for what they are and have less functionality than the robohand. It can be scaled to grow with her, I can make improvements as they come from the community, use custom colors, etc. So yeah...bite it haters. Hard.

    Monitors used to be better than fucking tv's is the point. Now we've gotten retarded and gone backwards due to idiot box functions taking over most peoples understanding of what a computer display should be.

  24. Re:Bad analogy is bad on Blizzard Wins Legal Battle Against WoW Bot Company · · Score: 1

    "That's where the ATV and solitare analogies don't make sense. If you wanted those analogies to be fair, you'd have to say that the ATVs were custom built for golf and those ATVs should be banned everywhere forever by law because they were used on one golf course. If I made a cheat friendly solitaire program, and used it to cheat, it is reasonable to ban me from using it on specific systems where the TOS disallow it, but to say that the program I wrote is itself illegal and can never be used, sold or given to anyone because it broke the rules on one system; that's just wrong."

    Seems like they built a Blizzard-Terrain Hack Vehicle and not an All-Terrain Hack Vehicle, so there may be some weakness in your analysis.
