  1. Re:What authority? on Dutch Government Backs Strong Encryption, Condemns Backdoors · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't know about blackjack, but it's Dutch so it would most likely have hookers.

  2. Re:A First for Cross-OS Support? on First Node.js-Powered Ransomware Discovered (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Javascript is not Java

  3. Re:and use the power where? on Should We Fill the Sahara With Solar Panels? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You do understand Africa is a large continent not a country right, and that not every country in Africa is a "war ridden, starving shithole".
    Look at Namibia, Libya, Gabon, Mauritius, and Seychelles. And that is not even a full list of non shithole African countries.

    "you can still get 7 or 8.1 on most systems"
    You haven't heard? Windows 10 Telemetry and spyware have been backported to Windows 7 and 8.

    Sure. Your not going to use a Microsoft account on your corporate system and this doesn't affect AD domain accounts. So no not an issue there.

    And the fact that a deep sea animal is hanging out in shallow water.

    How useful is Google search when you don't have access to any of the pages it is linking to?

  9. 16 years of email?!?! on Replacement For Mozilla Thunderbird? · · Score: 1

    Honestly, why would anyone need to keep 16 year old emails? That sounds like hoarding behavior.

  10. Re:What is "Remote Desktop Universal" on Universal Remote Desktop Coming To Windows 10 Soon · · Score: 1

    If you RDP into Windows 10 you get the Desktop UI. This would allow you to get the Tablet UI if your device is of the touchscreen variety.

  11. That means they mostly have editorial type shows, it says nothing about honesty.

  12. Re:Only if AUS gov declare it so on Alleged Bitcoin Creator Raided By Australian Authorities (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes yes. Ok I'll fix it and cover both. The Treasury Dept. prints money and mints coins. But now that everyone is done being pedantic I stand by my assertion that the Fed manages our banking system, it does not print money.

  13. Re:"DDOS" the justice system? on Supreme Court Upholds Arbitration In DirectTV Case · · Score: 1

    "Customers of DirecTV in California could not band together in a class action and must instead pursue individual arbitrations"

  14. Re:"DDOS" the justice system? on Supreme Court Upholds Arbitration In DirectTV Case · · Score: 1

    Well in regards to the article the courts are not involved at all. This is arbitration not a civil suit. Somehow these one sided contracts that deny your right to sue are being upheld. I mean is it really a contract when there is 0 negotiation and if you don't agree to all they say you don't get the service?

  15. Re:"DDOS" the justice system? on Supreme Court Upholds Arbitration In DirectTV Case · · Score: 1

    Except it's arbitration not civil court.

    The average church spends 82% of its budget on buildings, personnel, and administration. They kinda suck as charitable organizations.

    The US Federal Reserve does not print money, the US Mint (the Treasury Dept) prints money.

    Thanks. I never claimed not to be an asshole, but at least you are saying I debate effectively.

    There is a big difference between a webserver keeping a log of IP addresses it communicates with and your OS sending reports of usage patterns, installed software, hardware back to the mothership.

    >here are statistics to back this up. [No citation given, do your own homework]
    Sorry but that's your homework, you made the claim you back it up. In any college class you would get a failing grade for not supporting your argument. Why do you think it is any different in the real world.
