I used to work for a reseller before they got borged by McAfee. It sucked even then; the false positive rate was not any better than other solutions, and admin tools to manage false positives were deficient.
And when you had to call in their support, you'd have to explain how SMTP works to them, because up to level 3, they just talked complete bollocks.
Really, a bunch of torrenting whiners whine because the proposed regulation acknowledges that ISPs have a legitimate interest in QoS, and that this might impact their download speeds.
Get in your thick heads: Net Neutrality is not about freedom to download, it is about forbidding discriminating traffic based on the endpoints.
Given that you shamelessly cut up his quote, I have a tendency to believe him more than you do. Selective quoting is not a sign of a man confident that the facts will bear out his opinion.
the iPhone, their implementation of the smartphone truly was an innovation
Bullshit. It was a slick repackaging of existing concepts. Nothing wrong with that, it was very slick, and existing smartphones had plenty of rough edges that could use some sanding off, but innovative it was not. Unless you want the word to lose all meaning.
And this is worse compared to tyranny by an MBA? Who uses metrics that are easily gamed to determine promotion and remuneration? Where the techies lose out too?
Funnily enough, self-organised collectives have always existed, and functioned. Humanity may not be much evolved, but we evolved as social beings, cooperation is what raises us above the apes. It is the Authoritarian worldview that must prove itself against evolutionary history.
Leaders need legitimacy, and businesses can't afford to have people get into steel cage matches to let a boss prove their dominance via trial by combat.
Why would someone who is smart be a member of a trade union?
I don't know, maybe because they are literate enough to be able to read a history book, and intellectually curious enough to actually do so?
Of course, if your measure of smart is parroting propaganda, I can understand why you can't recognise actual intelligence. Dunning-Kruger is like that.
No, the problem is that some people can't read, and yet persist in proclaiming that their half-cocked understanding of an article they maybe half read is correct.
I went the other way, but purely for reasons of taste: I hate the new window style that replaces the menu with a tiny button and builds it right into the window itself along with the window operation buttons.
It's a purely aesthetic decision. I realise some people like it, I just prefer my decade-old sawfish setup to do the window management for me, and until about 3.10 or so that worked fine in combination with Gnome. Now it just looks ugly.
The way to solve the problem isn't trying to restrict Uber's operations with new laws and court battles, it's dispensing with the Taxi License fees to make it an open market.
Of course, the other solution is to stop the race to the bottom, and tell Uber that if they want to compete as a taxi service, they shall damn well play by the same rules as existing taxi services.
It's a troll because it's the same tired tu-quoque fallacy the BitCoinBoys trot out when another BitCoin scam story breaks out. The moderators are fine; I personally would have selected 'Redundant', but that post otherwise deserves to be buried at -1.
Until McVeigh, white guys with trucks full of fertilizer in the middle of a city didn't set off alarm bells;
...in the USA.
In case you hadn't noticed, terrorism is not an Arab invention, and the rest of the world has had to deal with terrorists of various descents, including lily-white ones sponsored by the US.
And yet the fact that in last year's discussion on the Debian TC multiple people were capable of setting up and testing systemd systems suggests that you are operating under a whole load of Dunning-Kruger.
Slashdot Mirror
Ah, I see. You referred to Intel acquiring McAfee-the-company. I thought you were referring to end customers buying McAfee.
Erm, MXLogic existed long before McAfee bought them. A large part of the customer base is pre-acquisition.

Because they are still human?

Yes, roman_mir is that crazy. He also called the genocide on the Native Americans a 'win in the marketplace', just to underscore how crazy he is.
If he says the sun comes up in the east, I'd take out a compass at sunrise to check.
Yeah right; listing two conditions, and then shortening the quote listing only one and attacking that is not dishonest reasoning. Fuck off.

Yeah, we really need a "-1, Stupid" option.

You confuse legitimacy with power. Those are not the same, which is a point someone else is making upthread. Even Bakunin acknowledged that specialist knowledge can confer authority, in his famous bootmaker quote.
Is that you, Sheldon?
Insighful? It's a pack of lies, so yeah, the 'racist' tag is well deserved.
We used to hang shitheads like you in Nuremberg.

"Good, talk to my union lawyer".
Oh, you're not unionised? Well, maybe you weren't that smart after all then, so no great loss to the company.

Riggght. Replace a regulated marketplace with a single middleman playing piece workers against each other is not a race to the bottom.
I'm not even going to discuss this with you, you're an idiot.

Given known history, Westerners have a lot more to fear from Italians, Basques, Germans and Irish.
In case you hadn't noticed, terrorism is not an Arab invention, and the rest of the world has had to deal with terrorists of various descents, including lily-white ones sponsored by the US.
It is nice to see someone prove themselves that they are an idiot. Saves me the effort.
