  1. The best tool on Stop Using Excel, Finance Chiefs Tell Staffs (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    The Best tool is the tool you know how to use. If users are critical of database systems, CIOs should pay attention and find out WHY they want to do their work in Excel instead.

  2. GoFundMe to pay for legal bills re: punching Ajit on FCC Will Also Order States To Scrap Plans For Their Own Net Neutrality Laws (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's simple to set up a GoFundMe to cover the legal bills related to punching Ajit Pai in the nose. Just sayin'.

    Hear, hear! let's do something similar but different. And hey Liv Tyler is still looking good.

  6. Do Not Want on Apple Is Releasing macOS High Sierra On September 25 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm good. No need for pointless system updates that are designed for newest Macs.

  7. Disney is a child's brand on Disney Is Pulling Star Wars and Marvel Films From Netflix (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    I will not be subscribing to Disney.

  8. I can't believe AT&T are such cheap bastards that they're still shipping Wi-Fi 802.11g routers to their customers.

  9. Trump's Administration says a lot of stupid shit on Trump Can Block People On Twitter If He Wants, Administration Says (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    not the first time, not the last that Trump's administration ignores US law and tradition and decides whatever he does is ok.

  10. Lifespan of factory: 5-10 years, tops on Wisconsin Won't Break Even On Foxconn Plant Deal For Over Two Decades (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    I doubt Foxconn will keep the factory operational for 20 years. We're moving into an era of robotic automation, and those 3000 jobs will not last 30 years.

  11. If your car is a tiny european SmartCar, you will not be safe once flocks of semis take to the highways.

  12. I've changed my mind on attending concerts where the Ticketmaster fee costs as much or more than the tickets to the show. Screw those guys. I've seen more great rock bands for $15 - no interest in spending $100.

  13. but not fake news story that support the far right on Facebook Is Cracking Down On Deceptive Ads For Porn, Diet Pills (adweek.com) · · Score: 2

    Fuck Facebook to hell

  15. I am ready for pilot-free airplane rides. Just give me enough space for my knees.

  16. finally the perfect setting for pauly shore on Biologists Use Gene Editing To Store Movies In DNA (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I commend scientists for finding a way to preserve the artistic integrity of Pauly Shore films through the decades using humans as the easily-reproduceable copies. In this way our robotic overlords can enjoy the hackneyed talent for millennia to come.

  17. Not sure a guy who can afford to buy an island in Hawaii should be giving economic advice. Concentrating so much wealth into the hands of a few people is unkind, manipulative, and I daresay Evil.

  18. There is no cloud on Amazon and eBay Images Broken By Photobucket's 'Ransom Demand' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no cloud -- it's just someone else's computer

  19. sharing economy = broke ass mofos on Uber, Airbnb Lead the Way as Sharing Economy Expands (emarketer.com) · · Score: 1

    We join the sharing economy because our jobs don't pay us enough to get ahead. We're contractors, selling off our privacy for modest financial gain. This sucks.

  20. Re:Solving the wrong problem on Google Fights Bay Area Housing Prices With Pre-Fab Housing (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 2

    I hear land is cheap in Wyoming.

  21. Eventually they'll realize that the only way for this system to work is to limit the population, and being too afraid to enforce Euthanasia for people who don't match the most favorable gene mixes, they'll have to come up with a way to weed out people after they've reached their full potential. Expect a Logan's Run scenario where at 30, you're set free into the wilderness to fend for yourself.

    IIS? Hell I'd love to run it from the ISS!

  23. Apple II forever? Notsomuch on Microsoft And Apple Target Schools In War With Chromebook (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I learned to program Apple Basic on an Apple IIe when I was in the 6th grade. My family's first computer was the 128 Mac. We had no brand loyalty -- my father simply recognized it was a paradigm shift and he didn't want his kids to be left behind. So my senior year of high school, I programmed Apple Basic in class and typed up papers in MacWrite. In college I was exposed to NeXT, Sun Solaris, and DOS, and became manager of a Mac/PC computer lab. Our Dells and Compaqs were complete pieces of shit compared to my dad's Mac IIcx and the IIci lab at school. I recognized that these are all simply tools, and they'll change over time.

    I'm typing this from an i7 MacBook Pro running Sierra while my Samsung i5 Windows 10 laptop, iPhone, and iPad sleep.
