  1. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's how it has always been, everywhere. The old people are the ones who make big decisions like this.

  2. And now, "Top 10 Hacks of All Time, Youtube Edition" on watchmojo.com

  3. Which charter region? I want to learn more about this offering, in case I can use it now.

  4. Re: The EU doesn't even allow... on Europe's Robots To Become 'Electronic Persons' Under Draft Plan (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't we call that the Crusades?

  5. Re:Fedora 24 is awesome 'cause you can upgrade to on Fedora 24 Featuring GNOME 3.20, Tons Of Improvements Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I did a dnf system-upgrade from Korora 22 to Korora 23. I had a few minor problems: notably wine (wasn't worried; I assume wine is tricky and I was able to solve it), and I had to remove and reinstall hplip and hpaio (printer drivers), and maybe one more 32-bit vs 64-bit package issue somewhere. That might have been the wine issue in one of its dependencies.

  6. Re:So why so much anger in the Linux community? on Fedora 24 Featuring GNOME 3.20, Tons Of Improvements Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The Firefox making Yahoo the default search is a Firefox thing, not a linux thing at all: http://money.cnn.com/2014/11/2...

  7. Re:w00t! on Fedora 24 Featuring GNOME 3.20, Tons Of Improvements Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Me too: Fedora/RH/CentOS user here. Debian packages just need too much attention (a2enmod a2ensite, wtf?) The command yum provide */file beats anything in apt I've come across. I even have installed a demo instance of FreeIPA to replace my Windows AD domain. I need to start testing it again and go entirely off-MS.

  8. These magic ponies better poop rainbows and skittles!

    My Little Pwnies?

  10. Re:Ticketmaster on New York Criminalizes the Use Of Ticket-Buying Bots (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    This. My $20 (heavily subsidized by the casino venue, I'm sure) tickets ended up being about $30 per person. I realize that's small change to some people, but that's a 50% increase in cost of the ticket! Next time, I simply won't go. Forget Ticketmaster.

  11. Re:My own: on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Music Streaming Service? · · Score: 1

    Yep, plex. Radio to discover, and plex for repeat.

  12. Re:Moo, say the chickens. Re: You are not chickens on Bill Gates' Donation of Thousands of Chickens Rejected by Bolivia (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The real cow guy would never joke about inserting the word "chickens" so it's obviously a copy-chicken, a funny one!

  13. Re:it wuz haxx0rz! on Access To Thousands Of Compromised Government Servers Selling For $6 On Black Market · · Score: 1

    Not to be confused with the other Club Fed, I presume.

  17. Re:It was perfectly intelligible. on Startups Can't Explain What They Do Because They're Addicted To Meaningless Jargon (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    You are close, but there's no way that's a win-win.

  18. So why don't they take all that excess copper and build the transmission lines to export their surplus power? Or am I just being uninformed here?

  19. Oh, I thought the IDC stood for I Don't Care. It makes sense that way: "Expect substantial slowdown in smartphone shipment [sic]: I don't care!"

  20. Comment on Bill Gates: AI Is The 'Holy Grail' (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not a holy grail. This is a holy grail.

  21. Re:The good news: on Atari Is Going To Build IoT Devices (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    They time-shifted and then didn't have the network to connect to anymore! As a part of the anti-consumer behaviors, the devices toasted themselves.

  25. Re:Boil Clothes. Hang In Full Sun. on Scientists Discover Why Your Dirty Laundry Stinks (discovery.com) · · Score: 1

    Did people in history wear brown to minimize running colors, or maybe they were poor and couldn't afford colored clothes? Maybe their clothes' colors were already washed out.

    I'm trying to have a serious conversation and not just trolling (like I usually do).
