  1. Sure do! I went out to buy a new PC a few Months back and the guy asked me which Distro I wanted...

    I wish.

  2. Re:We won't be able to make ships with warp on Study: Astronauts Who Reach Deep Space 'Far More Likely To Die From Heart Disease' (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Not on our current path of pushing out medicine before they even test it, leading to side effects that are more severe than the disease. Right now Pharmaceutical Company’s only seem to be interested in manufacturing medicine that will make the big bucks, like the Blue Pill, which really serves no purpose. Being able to achieve an erection is not more important than treating Heart Disease with little to no side effects.

  3. Re:Vote trump to get that! on Chinese Giant LeEco Buys Vizio For $2 Billion, Gets Instant Foothold In US Market (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    You can't elect any President that will bring Jobs back to the United States. You can't force Companies to do what you want or else they may all leave. What you can do is offer incentives to stay or come back; chances are they will go where labor is cheapest. If Americans want more Jobs, they need to start accepting lower wages.

    It wasn't intended to be deadly and addictive it was intended to treat severe Pain. If you want to blame anybody, blame Doctors who think it's Candy and Users who take it to get High.

  5. !984 Called to tell you about a Movie called Runaway starring Tom Selleck =p

  6. Re:Linux dropped to 0.8% for Steam on Linux Grabs More Than 2% of Desktop Market Share (w3counter.com) · · Score: 2

    Because a lot of Linux think Steam is an evil DRM overlord trying to lock Linux users in. So they choose to use GOG and other places.

  7. Woah now, I was watching Jupiter Moon, a BBC Space Soap Opera from 1990, and those guys had an iPhone lookalike on that show. A lot of these Sci-Fi shows had similar items.

  8. Re:Great news for a fossil fuel free Sweden... on Sweden Tests World's First Electric Road For Trucks (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    We should go back to the way it was before the Oil Rush. Electric and Steam power, they had it right all this time.

  9. Presidents can't bring back Jobs. You can't force companies to come back or stay. You can entice them to come back, but it's ultimately their choice. Walls? That's why Ladders and Shovels were made.

    There were Armed Guards at the door of the nightclub...

  11. This is where a good doctor comes in. If you are vomiting and have abdominal pains and DO NOT go to the Doctor then you should have no expectations of survival once this fast-moving Cancer is revealed. A good Doc will run tests when presented with these symptoms and hopefully catch it early. A good Doc with EXP will know what's up when presented with your symptoms.

    Do yourself a favor, stop searching on WebMD, Google and Bing. Visit your Doctor instead.

  12. Re:Why would you ever give that refund? on Amazon Stops Giving Refunds When an Item's Price Drops After You Purchase It (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    The thing is, the prices usually drop almost immediately after you buy something from Amazon. Also if you add something to your Cart, go away for a few hours and come back, the price is usually higher.

  13. Microsoft on Windows Phone Market Share Sinks Below 1 Percent (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    With the demise of the desktop, with it Windows, and now this; Microsoft is pretty much finished. Their money would need to be made via making their Software (Office etc.) available on other OSes. They also have their Xbox but I think with Mobile Gaming, even that is going away.

    So what Linux and Mac couldn't do, the Market did.

  14. So 76% of NETFLIX users like NETFLIX. Not surprising at all, nope. If it had been 76% of Cable users think Netflix can replace traditional TV, that would've been interesting.

    A number of infected Windows machines you mean.

  16. Gen Z is missing out and going backwards. Soon they'll be back in the Black and White era, trust me it'll be the next big thing for them.

  17. Re:I've never had one. on Smartphone Shipments Flat For the First Time, Says IDC · · Score: 1

    That's overly complicated. Why would he want to use his phone to stream something to his TV? He can just get DirecTV or something and flip through the guide to watch or record something. If he isn't happy he can view something from DirecTV On Demand, record it and keep it for the life of the Reciever; heck he can even plug his receiver into his computer and "tape" it.

    A Smart Phone really isn't all that smart, sorry. Really, you Z Generation Kids are missing out.

    The $2 Bill hasn't gone anywhere. Go to your Bank and request some brand new ones if you don't believe me. I spend them all the time.

    Yeah but we are in the mood to drop bombs on children and pay taxes to spy on everybody. Just imagine if we spin all that into a positive and put our efforts, instead, on the cosmos.

  20. I already tried that, so have others. You know what happens? You get laughed at. Why? Kickbacks from Microsoft.

    And you actually think Trump is going to do that eh? I can't recall any President that even remotely did what they said they will do while Campaigning. Well, except for giving kickbacks to their rich buddies.

    Use your Brain, a real leader can't be Democrat OR Republican.

  22. Actually a Corpse can a threat to the public long after it is buried. Arsenic for example can leak into Ground Water.
