  1. Re:Michael Flynn Jr believes it on Fake News Prompts Gunman To 'Self-Investigate' Pizza Parlor (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless its IT related issues or Star Trek, the insightful comments are few and far between, you are correct.

  2. Re:Quote on Iran Bans Pokemon Go Over 'Security Concerns' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    I laughed way harder than I should've at this.

  3. No problems on TVs Are Still Too Complicated, and It's Not Your Fault (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I had no problems setting up my Sony Bravia. Walks you through the process pretty seamlessly

  4. Re:Get some popcorn on Tumblr Is Launching Live Video This Week (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Triggered

  5. Suprised on Tumblr Is Launching Live Video This Week (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I was really expecting a flood of "IRC is good enough for me" style comments from all of the grouchy old curmudgeons on this board ;)

  6. Re:Didn't affect me on Hacker Taunts Blizzard After Knocking Gamers Offline (csoonline.com) · · Score: 2

    Same here, no issues all weekend on both WoW and Overwatch.

  7. Well done Ontario!

  8. Re:Three words on Man Deletes His Entire Company With One Line of Bad Code (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yup, its IT 101. Something about this seems fishy.

  9. Yikes, that's slightly terrifying.

  10. Re:what a laugh on How Donald Trump Uses Twitter As a Weapon of Fear · · Score: 1

    Joking, yes.

    But Trump not "The worsts of the worst", Obama is even worse than him (which is quite an achievement).

    e.g. "unemployment at less than five percent under Obama!"...no it's 23 percent, near Depression era levels, but conveniently the BoL changed the way that's counted in the late 80s

    Citation needed. That sounds like something you heard from Alex Jones or Glenn Beck to be honest.

  11. Firefox for life on Firefox 40 Arrives With Windows 10 Support, Expanded Malware Protection · · Score: 1

    Still using Firefox, still prefer it over Google's spyware that has become a nasty resource hog. Just my two cents!

  12. Re:Work, work on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 2

    I switched to Guild Wars 2 a few years back along with some friends from work. The game is better suited for us former vanilla players that are now working 60+ hours a week at an IT firm.

  13. Samsung on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Most Stable Smartphones These Days? · · Score: 1

    I have had really great experiences using Samsung devices, ever since the flip phone days. I am currently on a Galaxy s5, and I have found it to be remarkably durable, stable, and an all around solid phone.

  14. Re:Dear Doctors and Hospitals.... on Researchers Mount Cyberattacks Against Surgery Robot · · Score: 1

    Couldn't agree more.

  15. Stop the insanity! on Researchers Mount Cyberattacks Against Surgery Robot · · Score: 1

    First they're doing surgery, then they're asking to join Starfleet. When does it end?

  16. Re:not-a-bug; wont-fix on New Android Trojan Fakes Device Shut Down, Spies On Users · · Score: 1

    I would say that's a good guess, though the NSA has had some of their nefarious methods of spying exposed lately as well.

  17. Re: Can they do it? on BlackBerry's Survival Plan: the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    and then publicly mock whatever Apple was doing any chance he got.

  18. Re:Can they do it? on BlackBerry's Survival Plan: the Internet of Things · · Score: 2

    This literally made my day. Thank you for the image of an ant with a Steve Ballmer head crawling around a maze yelling "Developers, Developers, Developers!!!"

  19. At it looks like M$ is taking steps in the right direction, which is more than we could have said during the Ballmer years.

  20. Re:Golf Buddies on Comcast Kisses-Up To Obama, Publicly Agrees On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    This is something that has worried me more and more as we dig deeper into the net neutrality discussion. How are we going to force Comcast's hand when the two people at the negotiating table are going out for a round of golf afterwards? It's a major conflict of interest and one I am surprised that more media outlets have not picked up on.

  21. Meanwhile on Comcast Kisses-Up To Obama, Publicly Agrees On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Privately, they do everything they can to raise rates, stifle innovation, and milk 20 year old cable technology for everything its worth.

  22. Re: DMCA (Defamation) on ISPs Removing Their Customers' Email Encryption · · Score: 1

    Better safe than sorry.

  23. Re:only thing I care about on Multi-Process Comes To Firefox Nightly, 64-bit Firefox For Windows 'Soon' · · Score: 1

    Agreed. Nothing else comes close imo.

  24. As a long time Firefox user who switched to Chromium, I am happy to see that Mozilla is taking these steps to ensure long term survival. Multi-process architecture is long overdue. I still maintain that Firefox has one of the most friendly developer communities out there.

  25. Re:WfW in VM on Lost Opportunity? Windows 10 Has the Same Minimum PC Requirements As Vista · · Score: 1

    I have seen some very old apps working in healthcare I.T., especially in the microbiology lab. A virtual machine for legacy apps would be a major boon for those of us in the trenches supporting software from the Clinton administration.
