  1. Re:And Candy Crush Soda comes free! on Microsoft: Windows 7 Does Not Meet the Demands of Modern Technology; Recommends Windows 10 (neowin.net) · · Score: 2

    It a thing that does things your phone doesn't allow. For instance right now on my multiple monitors I have Sql Sever Management studio running and I am using that to see what data my Visual Studio Program is making after recent code changes.

    And no, I can't tell my boss to go find an app in the google store.

  2. Windows 10 DOES have more security for me than windows 7.

    An OS that you never load is truly the most secure.

    (I'm staing on win 7 and hoping that all my games get ported to linux)

    There's a solution for that. I don't mind funding prisons.

    FWIW, I agree with you.

    Raising the minimum wage just hurts the income of the truly needy and raises inflation.

    So what's your opinion on minimum wage?

    A piece of wadded up paper towel, and some scotch tape and it's writable again...

  7. the earth is over 4 billion years old and has had icecaps for 20% of the time.

    What's the maths on 4 billion vs 120 years?

  8. Maybe if you use comcasts router. I bought my own.

  9. That's been recently changed to Comedy News Network after the lefts tantrum over Trump.

    These days it's hard to write anything non-trivial without relying on something that will be hard to replace if it goes away, that's just a reality of modern software design.

    Umm, no, it isn't.

    Learn how to write a web page without using api from other sources. Don't use javascipt links.

    WRITE YOUR OWN CODE!

    It's pure lazy to use 3rd party links. If you can't code without the crutches, then at least admit you're handicapped.

  11. Re:How has he turned crazy? on TV News Broadcast Accidentally Activates Alexa, Initiates Orders (cw6sandiego.com) · · Score: 1

    Now we have these devices (Alexa, Siri, Google's forgettably named thing #6), that can listen in on everyone at home, and Trump (the product of election hacking by Putin) soon to control the agencies that can hack those devices.

    "WE" isn't the correct word, you need to exclude the chunk of people that read 1984 and actually pay attention to the erosion of our privacy and rights.

  12. Why did they go the complex route?

    Potential income from advertising!

    What are these ads or javascripts that run on my machine without me knowing about them? Do people actually surf the web without crippling the sites that attempt to do so?

    That's like web aids, or web gonorrhea .For gods sake, strap on some protection!

    Yes, by law in Illinois it is.

    That's what they passed to protect the only non North American discovered planet.

    less than 500 people that voted disagree...

  17. You'd have to accept losing mileage as diesel motors provide much more mpg than gas motors.

    which is why I would only buy it if it was a diesel. The weight issue is negligible.

  18. trains haul lots off stuff with a diesel / electric system.

    Methinks you not know of this...

  19. Also, it's what most modern trains use - A diesel/electric hybrid - for the same reason.

  20. I'd be interested in a hybrid one. Since it can be used as an onsite generator, it would be great to keep the fridge and freezer running during a power outage.

    As long as it's diesel and I can afford it, I'll most likely buy one.

  21. Cyberlink Power Directory slams my i7-5930K to 100% use for a long time when I compile a movie together.

    Yes they will, because there will still be a stub of horn left. You can't completely remove all of the horns without killing it.

    You didn't mention that they have to stalk the rhino to sight it - that can take days. When it turns out the horn is cut off, they shoot it so they don't waste the time of stalking it again.

    So cutting off the horn to save the rhino is a stupid waste of money.
