    That's the nicest thing any anonymous coward has said about me. Thank you.

  2. What about consumers and business peeps on Windows 10's Next Update Will Be Called 'Spring Creators Update' (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'm a consumer. I also work on a desktop. I'm not a creator. Is there an update for me? Because I'm starting to think Microsoft isn't serious about capturing non creator market share.

    I've devolved straight to MOTHERFUCKER NO. I'm not debating, not engaging, not explaining why you don't need that and won't get that.

    Want a pony? MOTHERFUCKER NO. But why not? NO. But why though? BECAUSE NO.

    When they have some idea of what this will look like ill go back to explaining but not before.

  4. I was really confused because how does a computer replacement fix compatibility "with many of the Air Forceâ(TM)s existing systems"? In context systems didn't seem to mean end user computers. Or servers.

    Lots of people having multiple prompts for smart card PINs. Has anyone solved that one? And no, Google search doesn't return useful results.

    And when it starts dying the asset they have is intimate personal data. And yes they have a profile on you if someone uploads a picture of you.

    They won't have much in terms of IP that would be valuable, so they will sell profiles like many other defunct biz have done. And you likely have no recourse to stop it.

    If you have a profile, like something you hate as a beacon. When someone tries to sell you that, they bought your data from facebook.

  7. Re:Emulator on Wine 3.0 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    ReactOS uses most Wine code as is or with minor patches to execute native Windows. Is ReactOS an emulator? Pedantry aside, that is not an emulation, it is an implementation. Way down under the hood, the kernel is emulated and Windows calls are translated to Linux calls.

    If you weight how much is emulated vs directly implemented, Wine is not an emulator.

    And yes, this means that you can use the ReactOS build chain to take Wine code and replace a Windows dll in most cases. If you override the load order and keep it in the application folder it integrates well with actual windows. I would not recommend replacing it system wide but even that can be done with some success.

  8. Re:So I have to walk out and not have it at the do on Within Next Five Years Your Pizzas Will Probably Be Delivered by Autonomous Cars, Domino's Pizza CEO Says (thestreet.com) · · Score: 1

    Its almost like we have multiple communities and cultures, and something that works for one might not work for all.

    Also, maybe having autonomous delivery doesn't mean drivers no longer exist. Like a gradual rollout to the areas that make the most sense, and leaving people to do the apartments.

  9. Thank you, during transactions, means my side has completed. I get nervous when someone doesn't say it because that means they still have my credit card, or I got the bag but not the drink.

    I'm more inclined to think ingrained custom rather than any consideration of the driver.

    Especially for those under 21 it is a legal high, actual dopamine fix for something accomplished. It's drugs without the drugs.

    Fear. It will validate his claim that he was wiretapped by Fartbongo, and conservative authoritarians lash out at any perceived violation with force. If they did it once they can do it again.

    That's a plausible reason why he specifically might veto it. But more likely someone will spin it as a way to catch the brown folk and it gets signed as fast as possible.

    Either one is possible with this mercurial moron depending on what Fox and Friends says about it.

  12. Twitter has 3500 people on Ars Technica Puts Twitter, Uber On '2018 Deathwatch' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Twitter employs 3500+ people, making that the right amount of dollars to lose at 120k plus per person. Assuming ad revenue covers hardware and utilities and cxo compensation.

    I can't imagine why they need that many people. It boggles the mind.

  13. Functionality? Buzzwords. VLC does all that for me, Media Player does too. What does Kodi actually do that makes vlc irrelevant?

    Like share and subscribe is like oral anal and three some.

    You don't get it cos you asked, you get it cos I want it. Asking just means you don't think this will work out that way. And it may not most like at this point.

    Meanwhile I have a requirement and JavaScript helps me meet that and it is easily debuggable. Proprietary stuff goes server side of course.

    Only an idiot would clobber, that's a sign you don't know what you're doing and likely learned from how to searches. So you look for a framework to help you instead of understand it.

    That's okay, just know it ain't everyone's thing.
