  1. Welcome to the cognitive dissonance of the New Hypocritic Generationâ

  2. Re:All Offices? Worldwide? on YouTube Will Increase Security At All Offices Worldwide Following Shooting (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    And every day I feel reassured that moving to Japan 20 years ago was the best thing I ever did. I only have to worry about earthquakes.

  3. All Offices? Worldwide? on YouTube Will Increase Security At All Offices Worldwide Following Shooting (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Because random shootings are a worldwide problem, right? Right? NUCLEAR FACEPALM.

  4. Re:Not their products on Tim Cook Says Apple's Customers Are Not Its Product, Unlike Facebook (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    My sons iPhone SE had double the benchmark score than my Nexus 5X. Oooh, iPhones are soo slow my arse. Even as an Android user I have to admit that Apple’s processors are so much faster that even the slowed down older iPhones run circles around most other smartphones.

  5. Re:And its probably true on Tim Cook Says Apple's Customers Are Not Its Product, Unlike Facebook (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, "we would never" is not the same as "we cannot". Not by a long shot. I prefer the latter.

  7. Donâ(TM)t blink. Donâ(TM)t even blink. Blink and youâ(TM)re dead.

  8. Re:Giant crack machine on Google Trains AI To Write Wikipedia Articles (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    A trained monkey that summarizes the summarizers

    Wikipedia editors summarized.

    Also, since it relies on the popularity of the first ten websites on the internet for any particular topic, if those sites aren’t particularly credible, the resulting handiwork probably won’t be very accurate either.

    And since Google essentially has quite some influence on which sites go there... Here we go — Google's very own reality distortion field.

  9. Re:Turf Wars on Google Trains AI To Write Wikipedia Articles (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Troll

    I doubt Google can make Wikipedia any worse than the SJWs running the "encyclopedia" currently. I've stopped taking it as a reliable source a long time ago.

  10. Re:Apple compatibility is a joke on Apple Prepares MacOS Users For Discontinuation of 32-Bit App Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    There are some games that just won't ever be ported to 64 bit. That's a crying shame those will go the way of the Dodo. For everything else you shouldn't use apps that are so old. The transition to 64-bit apps on macOS has happened long ago. It's a non issue for everything but games.

  11. Re: How is China solving this dillema on Senator Asks FBI Director To Justify His 'Ill-Informed' Policy Proposal For Encryption (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    China ist using ROT2600 and is the securestest of them all.

  12. Re:Wow, what a terrible summary on Facebook Announces That It Has Invented a New Unit of Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Aren't these fractions only a result of trying to make things work for NTSC, which has a frame rate of 29.97? PAL for example refreshes at a flat 25Hz, AFAIK.

  13. Re:More honest slogan on Apple Seems To Have Forgotten About the Whole 'It Just Works' Thing (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Or: It just works, I think, differently...

  14. Re: Make it stop.... on Firefox Quantum Is 'Better, Faster, Smarter than Chrome', Says Wired (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    You're aware that Safari 11 on macOS is running circles around Chrome and Firefox? And ask while extending battery life the most.

  15. Re:It's time to get rid of Tim Cook on 10-Year-Old Boy Cracks the Face ID On Both Parents' IPhone X (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Satya Nadella? Give me a break. That guy is turning Microsoft into another IBM. Yes they're profitable, but they're also utterly irrelevant to anything in tech.

  16. I switched! on Slashdot Asks: Have You Switched To Firefox 57? · · Score: 0

    Mozilla a long time ago offered enough to make me switch from my tried-and-true browser of choice, Firefox. The firing of Brendan Eich and the fact that they're now run by a bunch of mollycoddled crybaby SJWs. I'll take Brave over Firefox any day.

    Except for downloading porn movies. Firefox is my default porn browser and that's all it's good for these days.

    What?!? That didn't actually happen?!? Damn! Damn! Damn!

    Probably one would be pointing out your wrong spelling of "opportunity"? What? Grammar Nazis aren't Nazis anymore?

    Yes you can, if they're not.

  20. Re: The essay's critics are missing the point. on Google Engineer's Leaked 'Gender Diversity' Essay Draws Massive Response (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    It's part of the strategy. If your proposed "better" society is actually a dystopia, you'll try to make the current society look even worse and if that doesn't work, destroy it, then anything will look better.

    Typical case of eye splinter and log blindness...

    I have no idea what your benchmark for an average OS is, but it must be quite low.

    If this is going to be a thing there's simply no other choice but calling it Starfleet, right?
