  1. Re:A potential long-term issue on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    There is nothing of value to discern for a future civilization out of emojis.

    They are worthless as a communication method.

    The only thing they may wonder is why homo sapiens from this time period were so fascinated with eggplants.

  2. Re:They are confusing in America too on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    ^^^^^^^ Look at this old person using words......NERD!!!!

  3. If your argument was worth its salt, you wouldn't need the generic insults to get your point across.

    In this line of work, you have to cooperate in order to achieve your goals. That means working with your neighbor and having your manager be a leader instead of a boss. In this type of environment, everyone looks out for one another and If you have people that are lazy, they will isolate themselves. There will always be a bell curve to describe a staff. I use one for my employees in order to gauge strengths and weaknesses on my team.

  4. 2% of the workforce is not that large.

    Also, look at the bright side. If the company routinely lets go of under-performers, it makes everyone else work harder to keep from being the next person let go.

  5. Re:Ballsy Move on Google Unveils Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL With No Headphone Jack (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Mine did this even with Marshmallow, just depended on the angle and any obstructions.

    I use mine with a cheap pair of Bluetooth headphones for mowing the lawn, IMO no discernible difference from 6 to 7.

    Though, I still love my Nexus 6, I will continue to use it until something better comes along, and the Pixel 2 ain't it.

  6. This may be true, but I'd rather err on the side of caution.

    First we had Amazon Echo, now they have alarm clocks with camera's on them and now Apple with their FaceID. It's just all too much.

  7. I would recommend no one should use Face ID, or the IphoneX for that matter.

    The NSA thanks you for the updated face scans.

  8. Sounds like the Linux Foundation is in need of a new President.

  9. Sticks and stones... on PewDiePie Is Inexcusable But DMCA Takedowns Are Not the Way To Fight Him (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    may break your bones, but someone will always offend a feminist

  10. WTF.... on $782,000 Over Asking For a House in Sunnyvale (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel like I missed a memo.....

    When did /. turn into The Onion?

  11. Only 13 percent of Americans are fearful that tech will eradicate their work opportunities in the near future

    And the other 87% are in denial.

  12. Think about it. on How the NSA Identified Satoshi Nakamoto (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    Satoshi is a serious threat to any large government since he/she/they single-handedly created the most popular and valuable de-centralized currency in the world.

    Currency in any form is one that any government wants exclusive control over.

    I wish I had mod points for you. Kudos!!

    Why can't *nix seem to get past that one? I'd really love to know what's in the way of that.

    One word. DirectX.

    Until game companies start coding their games in OpenGL, Vulkan, or another language besides DirectX, this will always be the case.

  17. Re:I know they're server-side, but what a laptop! on AMD Looks To 'Crush' Intel's Xeon With New Epyc Server Chips (extremetech.com) · · Score: 1

    You're a long ways out from having 1TB of RAM in a laptop, only dog knows why you would want that much.

    But the 16 core CPU is possible now and multi-terabyte drives are already here.

  18. I was confused... on Xerox Alto Designer, Co-Inventor Of Ethernet, Dies at 74 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Based on the summary, I initially thought this guys name was Xerox Alta.

    I thought to myself, "that's such a badass name."

  19. Google Drive? on Google Drive Will Soon Back Up Your Entire Computer (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, no it will not.

  20. Linus Tech Tips actually did a video on this exact subject a while back and it actually works very well besides the condensation issues with a very small TDP computer. They basically did a test with a small ITX platform and then again with a full size ATX build. I would post the Youtube link but it's blocked on work computers.

    The ITX platform stayed very cold as there wasn't much heat the dissipate. With the full size ATX build however, it couldn't keep up and actually started to get hotter than when in open air conditions due to the fridge walls acting as an insulator.

  21. Re:Fractions. They are a good thing. Use them on Study Finds Magic Mushrooms Are the Safest Recreational Drug (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Five times lower than 0.2% would mean 0.04%. Or as an expression 0.002/5 = 0.0004.

    Math truly is a wonderful thing.

  25. Re:yeah on Is Social Media Making Us Hate Each Other? (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't think it has anything to with Christianity or the lack there-of.

    People are just dicks, narcissistic dicks, and social media makes it easier than ever for them to show their true colors.
