  1. Is Hari Seldon running Google now?

  2. Re:Pedophiles? Just Republicans enjoying free spee on Brands Pull YouTube Ads Over Images of Children (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I do not know why it is necessary to politicize something like this. There are plenty terrible things happening from both sides of the isle. People, in general, are terrible.

  3. But it doesn't run on my operating system on Microsoft Edge Beats Chrome and Firefox in Malware-Blocking Tests (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I've tried, but I can't get it to run in Fedora.

    Okay, I lied. I didn't try.

  4. Did this sound contradictory to anyone else? on 'Science Must Clean Up Its Act' (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've read the article twice, but I still think I'm reading it wrong. Does he say that science should be more objective and apolitical, then complain that it is object and apolitical?

  5. Gotta pay for those private jets some how. on Al Gore Sells $29.5 Million In Apple Stock (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sure it is all to help save the polar bears.

  6. What about Emergencies? on Seoul Considers Messaging Ban After Work Hours (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm contacted outside work hours because our business needs to operate during those hours and if there is a problem, someone has to take care of it. This idea is completely bonkers.

  7. Allegedly on 'Safe' Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Explodes in China (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Aren't reports suppose to use this word when describing events?

  8. What platform is this on? on Malware Distributed Through Twitch Chat Is Hijacking Steam Accounts · · Score: 1

    Not that I don't just assume its Windows, as usual, but, it would have been nice to specify that this is only happening to people unfortunate enough to be running Windows. If it was happening to Mac users also, I would bet they'd mention that.
    Of course, I'm pretty sure I'm safe on my linux platform.

  9. Getting kicked in the nuts... on Michael Dell Says Windows 7 Will Make You Love PCs · · Score: 1

    How much do you think Microsoft paid him to say that?

    Also, I've used Windows 7 a little trying to test it against some of the crap I have to support and I find it better then Vista. But That is like saying getting kicked in the head is better than getting kicked in the nuts.

  10. Oh, so that's why on Nvidia Problems Hit HP Desktops · · Score: 1

    I have an HP laptop and my video card died 5 days before my warranty ran out.

    Then it happened again a year later.

  11. Re:This is gonna suck. on Dell Installs Google Software at Factory · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter to me. The first thing I do when I receive a new computer is to repartition, format and install the OS anyway. Even when I was using Windows, which I don't do anymore.

  12. Re:I have a catch-all domain... on Is A Catch-All Address Worth The Spam? · · Score: 1

    I have a catch-all domain and I get only about 150 spams a day. The funny thing is that most of the spam is to the ISP address and not the domain. I estimate about 60% of the spam is to the specific e-mail address I have for the ISP. I don't know how that got out there because I never use it unless the ISP itself sold its addresses.

  13. Re:Microsoft Advertisement on Build-to-Order Cars? · · Score: 1

    No, you are not. I don't play any games that don't run on linux. Mostly because I don't even have windows on my computer. The thing that annoyes me the most is when people complain about MS and Windows but at still using it.

  14. Re:Can they prove who had the IP??? on MIT, Boston College Refuse DMCA Subpoenas · · Score: 1

    At Boston College there is a system where everyone has to register to use the network. They have to have a valid username and password to register. When they register, it records their ethernet address and their username. The IP address for what ethernet address is kept track of also during the life of a DHCP lease.

  15. Re:no spam filter? on Ximian Evolution's New Clothes · · Score: 1

    What about IMAP? My guess would be that "POP"file won't work with IMAP. Give me mozilla any day. If I wanted to use outlook I'd use outlook.
