  1. Re: Think of it as evolution in action. on 'Superbug' Resistant To 26 Antibiotics Kills A Patient In Nevada (upi.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I opened both links, even went to the actual CDC report (link: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volum...) and there are exactly zero references for the bacteria coming from pigs. Try searching for the words "pig" and "farm". So much for lecturing others on reading TFA...

  2. Re:Modern kids are retarded (literally) on Study: Most Students Can't Spot Fake News (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    If that was true, then all of those that went through the school system 40 years ago would be, as you suggest, well educated and very well spoken. In my personal experience, that's most certainly not the case.

  3. Replying to undo the accidentally troll mod. Sorry!

  4. The best part? paint.net was made by a Microsoft intern as a summer project. I have no idea why Microsoft did not choose to take over the project and ship it, even if it was alongside of paint.

    Your comment made it a health issue by making me want to spoon my eyeballs out after reading it

  6. I've never seen those. Can you post an example? Not questioning your claim, just legitimately curious. I wonder if it's related to being able to read datasheets.

    That actually does not sound too unreasonable of a process.

  8. Re:Okay..... on Run Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Your PC With Android-x86 6.0 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    In retrospect, if what you are interested in is mostly the applications, then you should definitely look at ChromeOS: https://chrome.googleblog.com/...

    I highly encourage you to try Remix OS on a VM and to judge for yourself. I feel 50/50 about it. I'm still a little baffled about why Android can run OK in very low end phones yet making it work fast on x86 is apparently an impossible thing to do (Intel releases their own images of Android built for x86 that make use of all kinds of tricks to be emulated faster on their CPUs).

  10. This is 99% likely a drivers issue, which are not userland. That's why they need to be signed by Microsoft itself; otherwise, if I remember correctly, even with admin rights you can't install drivers unless you are in secure boot mode (which is a little bit ironic).

  11. I mostly agree with you, but you also need to consider that the rest of the EU states might want to make an example out of the UK as far as trading and regulations go to make it less tempting for other nations to follow suit.

    40 years ago? Then it certainly was not WEB SCALE

  13. Re:GOOD. on Silicon Valley's Tech Employees Are Getting Nervous (vanityfair.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this is a very interesting prediction. I'm sure that there's more to it than what you wrote here, and that you oversimplified some things for the sake of brevity; I'd love to hear more of your thoughts on the long-term trends in the tech field labor supply/demand.

  14. Re:Seriously on Another Windows 10 Update Causing Problems (windowsreport.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nothing further from the truth. Windows 8 might have been a fiasco, but it was not unreliable. After the Windows 8 mess, Microsoft fired half of the testers in the Windows organization and made the other half work solely on telemetry. Windows is now trying very hard to be an "agile" project. So far, they have nailed the fail fast part!

  15. Not really text-to-speech code on New Ransomware-as-a-Service Speaks To Victims (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    I went into the linked blog post to see what this text-to-speech code (in a vbs script no less!) was all about, and it turns out it's just a couple of lines calling Windows' SpVoice interface. Quite disappointing.

    Typo:

    Unless he was referring to games that are "universal apps". Those should work just fine on the Raspberry Pi 3.

    It didn't work for me. I added the javascript:[...] as a bookmark, then navigated to the Wired page, and after the anti-adblock pops up I click the bookmark but nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong?

    At least America got one of those, and he was able to influence politics up to this very day. I don't think many other nations can say the same.

  20. Re:Probably not real numbers on Microsoft Claims 110M Devices Now Run Windows 10 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not only has Microsoft captured the "telemetry of uninstalling" but it's also some of the most exhaustively examined data. As far as I understand it, the main reason for rolling back appears to be driver issues.

  21. Re:New Surfaces on Microsoft Claims 110M Devices Now Run Windows 10 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Zero, since they are only counting devices activated through the Windows Store

    I don't know if there's a POTS that does OTA, but there's plenty of ACRONS in your POST that IDK what they mean.

  23. Re:pros and cons on In Praise of the Solo Programmer · · Score: 1

    What I have found is that, when I write code like I would for a team, I tend to re-use those modules, bits and pieces in many more projects; so the payoff is actually quite good in the long run. Furthermore, after a few months have passed I always regret when I have not documented those re-usable pieces well enough.

    I know I'm replying to a comment in a pretty old story, but I thought that it may be of interest to you. You could install OpenWRT in a VM and route your computer's internet connection through that. No dongle required.
