  1. Chrome isn't exactly web standards compliant, neither are most browsers for that matter. Only old Opera even tried to adhere to W3C guidelines, and that thing is long gone, replaced by a Chromium skin. We have mozilla left, but their marketshare is all but gone now.

  2. Yet another reskinned Chrome, can never have enough of those. It wasn't even 5 years ago when we had a healthy selection of browser engines, some of them even web standards compliant. Now Chromium/Chrome devoured the entire market, and Google has final say on how the web is rendered.

  3. This won't matter to half of the american population, because their party and "news" channel keeps telling them it's fake news, and that a cold winter is proof that there is no global warming. And with bots and morons posting youtube links as "proof" of the contrary, you pretty much ensure more people, ignorant on the subject or oblivious to scientific research, will bite.

  4. Is it going to work over IoT using end to end enterprise solutions?

  5. I'm excited about Microsoft finally turning our PCs into always online dumb terminals. The future is now.

  6. Apparently he even plagiarized his resume when applying for IGN.

  7. Re:Google provides greatest platform for pirates e on Google Downranks 65,000 Pirate Sites In Search Results (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    There's also adding good ole "intitle:index of" to your queries, to find unprotected website listings full of goodies to plunder.

  8. Whenever I see some millennial mouthbreather claiming that the prequels weren't that bad, or that Jar Jar is alright and that the new disney movies are much worse, I'm going to point them to George's comments here. That man lost his mind somewhere between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace, and all this does is cement that fact.

  9. The wars of the future will not be fought on the battlefield or at sea. They will be fought in space, or possibly on top of a very tall mountain. In either case, most of the actual fighting will be done by small robots. And as you go forth today remember always your duty is clear: To build and maintain those robots.

  10. It's fucking nothing. How is the PC not a "personal contribution platform"?

  11. For the emperor on Did Octopuses Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    Purge the xenos.

  12. 1.21 Jiggawatts, Marty! on Uber Shows Its Flying Car Prototype (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    We're going back to two thousand and fucking fifteen.

  13. Unreal Tournament is for pussies.

  14. Mozilla suite on Firefox Quantum Leader Takes Over All Mozilla Products (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Can we have the mozilla suite back, please? This "lightweight" firebird/fox side project clearly was a terrible idea. Or at least revive the old Opera.

  15. Piracy helps sales on Trump Promises Copyright Crackdown As DoJ Takes Aim At Streaming Pirates (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yet the film and other entertainment industries keep posting record years in terms of profits. Piracy has been proven not only not to hurt, but help sales of video games.
    If it can be played it can be copied, they're completely unequipped to deal with piracy, even with the net neutrality repeal in effect.

  16. Re:I wonder what good they think that will do? on Self-Driving Cars Are Being Attacked By Angry Californians (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like when people clap at the theater after a movie.

  17. Re:On the other hand on Nvidia Will Focus on Gaming Because Cryptocurrencies Are 'Volatile' (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That would be the best outcome, a competitive market is better for the customers. The question is, aside from intel, who has the infrastructure and R&D to even compete in the GPU market at this point?

  18. Re:Commodity "currency" makes no sense on A Cryptocurrency Based On a Dog Meme Is Now Worth Over $1 Billion (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Still, it is the market that determines their value, just like with cryptocurrencies. Market speculation can bring down fiat currencies (and the economies attached to them) rather easily. In this case, I see no government being attached to them as an advantage and not a hindrance.

  19. Re:No on Can We Replace Intel x86 With an Open Source Chip? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    What are the odds of IBM giving away POWER? Is the architecture susceptible to the same vulnerabilities?

  20. Re:Commodity "currency" makes no sense on A Cryptocurrency Based On a Dog Meme Is Now Worth Over $1 Billion (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    The value is completely artificial from start to finish, there's nothing backing it, there's no massive value behind it to stabilize a run

    Perhaps the same could be said about fiat currencies, since they're not backed by gold reserves anymore.

  21. Re:I'd like to interject for a moment... on Lindows Resurrected! Freespire 3.0 and Linspire 7.0 Linux Distros Now Available (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Joking aside, it's still using the GNU coreutils.

  22. I'd like to interject for a moment... on Lindows Resurrected! Freespire 3.0 and Linspire 7.0 Linux Distros Now Available (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    What you're referring to as "Lindows" is, in fact, GNU/Lindows.

  23. I bet you think your IoT buzzword is great now, motherfuckers.

  24. Re:Wtf is to stop em from doing it anywhere? on Congo Shuts Down Internet Services 'Indefinitely' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Net neutrality rul... oh, wait.

  25. As someone who sexually identifies as an attack helicopter, I am concerned about the health risks this could pose.
