    The f*ck they do. Look at Windows 10...look at it. Tell me people wanted that abomination.

  2. its*

  3. I for one back this AC. I'm not affiliated with either party, and watching the two of you go at over the past dozen or so years has grown tiresome...at least Clinton and Bush created some humor that crossed the aisle.

    And saying someone's name is not humorous.

    Get off my lawn.

    Could be worse. You could be addicted to WoW, where every Tuesday a new patch is dropped, complete with a neutering of various traits previously important to making your class / the game fun; or the expacs, where they continue to punish the Retribution Paladins, such that by the time BfA drops, we will have the PvP mobility of a bloated goat and the strength of dying gazelle (still haven't gotten Consecrated Ground back yet)...but we are not alone in this, Death Knights are getting nerfed too.

    Or it's because the "must-have" software is decreasing.

    Shhh, is marketing. Always find impressive numbers that may or may not contribute to a positive view of your product, and cite them.

    They no longer have a drawing board. They sold it, and used the remaining room for Marketing's Jacuzzi (because that was deemed more important).

    Why must we relish every bad idea that comes along? Why?

    It may surprise you to learn that there was a time before WSUS, even before GPO. Think they used an arcane technology called "LDAP" back then.

  11. Re:There are lots of ways to play that game. on Ask Slashdot: Did Baby Boomers Break America? (time.com) · · Score: 1

    My personal favorite, as someone who suffers from Myopia, was the job offer whose medical coverage was so sad that employees would only go to various optometrists during sales. This was for a job in the CS realm, where being able to see the code, and see it clearly is a job requirement.

    But imagine that. Medical coverage so bad you could only see the eye doctor during a sales event. And probably not more than once in two years...

  12. Re:Cockroach Milk on Is Cockroach Milk the Ultimate Superfood? (globalnews.ca) · · Score: 1

    I think there is a group of wealthy scientists somewhere which is playing with the human race. "Let's make them eat plants...no, insects! The really nasty ones!" "Let's get them to abandon nuclear technology, and be at the mercy of the elements (we will call it 'green' technology)!" "Let's get them to carry a radio beacon everywhere they go!" "Let's get them to post their intimate details online, and promise not to sell / misuse them!"

  13. And my professor laughed when I held the single-cycle CPU design to be the holy grail of the industry...

  16. Twitter -> "We did it for money!"

    The investors who missed out on the original investment in Facebook want a 'do-over'.

  18. Call me when they get "official support" for this.

  19. Now leave a rock in one of their gyms, with the words "Remote Detonator" scrawled on it, and see how many people panic.

  20. How does it work?

  21. All the people in bed with the NSA aren't going to assist with government with cyberattacks? This is my believing face.

    Now build a desktop & a browser for Windows IoT...and a native C# compiler (IDE)...and we will enjoy it on the RPi.

    Some of us like not referencing our driver's licenses to remember which gender we are.

    Nonsense. The future of ground combat is EM & EMP warfare. Because at some point, someone is going to say "Enough is enough."

    Which is (sorry) retarded for those of us in more secure environments who want to sync up their MP3 collections before spending 12+ hours in Server-ville.
