  1. Re:Asus Zenbook on Slashdot Asks: Which Windows Laptop Could Replace a MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    I bought an asus zenbook a couple days ago and I highly recommend it. screen is great, trackpad is great, keyboard... takes a little getting used to but it's ok (and the backlighting is nice).

    A lot of people also seem to like Dell XPS. Most recommendations sound like this, though: "I love it.... but I had to return the first 3 because build quality sucks and they broke within the first week. Oh, and you need to take it apart and replace the wifi chip but ifixit has an easy 30-step process...". Also every Dell Lapop I've used has erratic track pads. Randomly repositioning the mouse/cursor when I'm typing? Fuck you Dell.

    Also, bring back Stephen the Dell Dude. Weed is legal in most states now.

    If Hillary loses, you're a sexist once because she lost. If Hillary wins, you're going to spend the next 4 (or 8) years being a sexist. I know because I spent the last 8 years being a racist. You know, for racist stuff like opposing wall street bailouts.

  13. Let's say you, Ron Jeremy, and Lena Dunham are in a room comparing dick sizes. Your dick is 4 inches. Ron's dick is 8 inches. Lena's dick is -6 inches (because it's actually a vagina). Total dick size is 6 inches. Ron Jeremy has 133% of the dick in the room.

  16. There's no reason for twitter to exist on Twitter Is Cutting 9% of Its Global Workforce (adweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Remember life before the iPhone (and before android copied the iphone)? Your cell phone (if you had one!) had a 10 number buttons with 3 letters on them. Texting meant pressing the number keys 1-3 times to select a letter. It sucked. Anyhow, twitter started as a web interface to text messaging. Hooray, read and send text message from a computer! Of course, sending text messages has been a solved problem for a decade now so there's no reason for twitter to exist.

    The Verizon/Yahoo deal has not gone through yet. In the wake of the massive hack (known about but hidden for years) and FBI backdoors, the $4.8B figure is being renegotiated down.

  25. I don't like my Tesla Model X on Consumer Reports Ranks Tesla Model X Near Bottom For Reliability (cnn.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    My father gifted me a Tesla Model X upon attainment, and in celebration, of my high school graduation. I returned it three weeks later and purchased a Range Rover in its place. Though Consumer Reports has enumerated numerous quality flaws, the most glaring was the new car smell, dubbed Elon Musk. It was a mixture of farts and old spice with perhaps a hint of leather and coriander. The dealer insisted it was supposed to smell that way and even offered to "re-musk" it for me.
