  3. Not only do I have multiple windows open, each with anywhere from 10-80 tabs open, but one of those tabs is a "Restore previous session" tab, which if I clicked on would open another several windows, each with multiple tabs... And one of THOSE tabs would be a "Restore previous session" tab... It's recursive for me.

    You aren't allowed to use margin in retirement accounts. Also he wouldn't have bought it all at the high point, since with every paycheck a bit goes into the 401k, which means he would have bought some at the low points. He is just making shit up about his 401k losing 2/3rds.

  8. Re:Virtualbox is crap compare to VMware player on Disgruntled Security Researcher Publishes Major VirtualBox 0-Day Exploit (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yup, VMware is some of the worst software I've ever seen. And they still require Flash for their fully-functional UI.

  9. Re:I use this, and it's crap on US Secret Service Warns ID Thieves are Abusing USPS's Mail Scanning Service (krebsonsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    It also works intermittently. Some days it'll show you the scans. Other days it will tell you you have X pieces of mail on its way, but it won't show you any scans.

  13. Re:Windows 10 is not bad on Windows Defender Becomes First Antivirus To Run Inside a Sandbox (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If you like the OS rebooting while you're away from the computer, and losing all of your unsaved work, then sure.

  14. Re:Users should be in the habit of upgrading on Google Warns Apple: Missing Bugs in Your Security Bulletins Are 'Disincentive To Patch' (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Possibly because an upgrade popup appears suddenly out of nowhere while you're using the device, and it's very easily to accidentally press on "Install Now" instead of the "Remind Me Later" option.

  15. Why bother? They would need to know it was you who did it, in order to seize your printer.

  16. Lowers performance requirements? on Steam VR Introduces 'Motion Smoothing' So Low-End PCs Can Run Games More Smoothly (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Now you have software that needs to detect dropped frames and generate fake frames. Then it needs to display the same number of frames as before, regardless of whether they're real or fake frames. So it's doing the same thing as before, but with the addition of needing to detect dropped frames and generate fake frames. And there's less of a performance requirement for all that?

  17. Re:Whatever.... on eBay Files Lawsuit Against Amazon Over 'Seller Recruitment' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

Ebay frequently has the same $5-10 items with free shipping and no minimum order. From what I've read, Ebay also has buyer protection that sellers hate, since they always side with the buyer.

    Maybe 10 years ago it wasn't strange to get and accept friend requests from stangers. But nobody does that anymore nowadays.

  23. Re:I can't believe Sothebys' Was Surprised on Banksy Artwork Self-Destructs At Auction Right After Being Sold For $1.3 Million (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, why wouldn't Sotheby's open the frame to authenticate that it was a true Banksy? Or maybe they did...
