  1. Re:That was easy on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    Healthy? Hardly. According to Steam, Linux accounts for less then 1% of user now, and that keeps sliding down month after month as the hype over Steam on Linux dies off.

  2. Re:Vehicle Weight on Oregon Testing Pay-Per-Mile Driving Fee To Replace Gas Tax · · Score: 1

    Yet they want to tax a motorcycle and a BigRig the same.... With this it should be obvious to everyone that a tax based on weight makes more sense than a tax per mile.

  3. Re:I agree on Amazon's Delivery Drones Will Be Able To Track Your Location · · Score: 1

    You mean like this Audi Commercial? https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  4. Re:We're so screwed. on US Appeals Court Says NSA Phone Surveillance Is Not Authorized By Congress · · Score: 2

    I'll take my chances as well. The spy program have been real successfully at stopping attacks though, oh, wait....

  5. Re:KDBus - another systemd brick on the wall on Linux 4.1 Bringing Many Changes, But No KDBUS · · Score: 1

    I've written an init that started daemons and programs without shell scripts. It also started in parallel and handled dependencies. No scripts, just around 700 lines of Lua and a single config file. Could boot to login prompt in 4 seconds on an 800MHz i.MX53. This **** isn't rocket science.

  6. Re:And now, things get Ugly. on Uber To Turn Into a Big Data Company By Selling Location Data · · Score: 1

    Given Ubers track record, do you really think they care about the law?

  7. Re:Edible Phones on Quebecker Faces Jail For Not Giving Up Phone Password To Canadian Officials · · Score: 1

    So....basically a bomb. That would only make your situation worse.

  8. Re:Starting to feel old on Linux 4.0 Getting No-Reboot Patching · · Score: 1

    At my place of work we're still running the 2.6.35 kernel. Reason: It's the latest kernel supported by our hardware (Freescale i.MX53).

  9. Re: why? on Empirical Study On How C Devs Use Goto In Practice Says "Not Harmful" · · Score: 1

    I know what you're getting at but you wouldn't want to do that here. If you did, and you failed, how would you know at which point you failed? This is, of course, assuming you cared about this for resource freeing or something.

  10. Looks like crap on Building the Developer's Dream Keyboard · · Score: 1

    The Ducky Mini has been my favorite keyboard to code with. It certainly looks better than this garbage.
    Currently waiting for Keyboardio to release their Model 1. If you really want an ergonomic keyboard, remove the stagger in the key rows.

  11. Remember HAL? on Systemd Getting UEFI Boot Loader · · Score: 1

    Anyone remember HAL and why the developers said they stopped? If I remember correctly they said it "become a large, unmaintainable mess". I perdict history repeating itself here with systemd...
