  1. Re:Separation of Business and State on Net Neutrality Bill Sails Through the House But Faces an Uncertain Political Future (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Doesn't surprise me that this horse manure is from an AC.

  2. Yes, it is nice to be obligated to pay a private firm to pay taxes to the govt. Nothing at all wrong with that. /s

  3. Re:Does it still use systemd? on Ubuntu 19.04 Disco Dingo Beta Now Available With Linux Kernel 5.0 and GNOME 3.32 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine being so pathetic that people still whine about this. Yes it has its issues but it IS the future (until something new comes along) so just deal with already. Or just use Devuan and shut the hell up already.

  4. Re:Call CPS on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 2

    How about worrying about the kids who never had a choice who get one of these terrible diseases? Not to mention the ones who are unable to get a vaccine for a multitude of reasons- "Some individuals either cannot develop immunity after vaccination or for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated.[14][15][4][14] Newborn infants are too young to receive many vaccines, either for safety reasons or because passive immunity renders the vaccine ineffective.[16] Individuals who are immunodeficient due to HIV/AIDS, lymphoma, leukemia, bone marrow cancer, an impaired spleen, chemotherapy, or radiotherapy may have lost any immunity that they previously had and vaccines may not be of any use for them because of their immunodeficiency.[4][14][16][17] Vaccines are typically imperfect as some individuals' immune systems may not generate an adequate immune response to vaccines to confer long-term immunity, so a portion of those who are vaccinated may lack immunity.[1][18][19] Lastly, vaccine contraindications may prevent certain individuals from becoming immune.[14] In addition to not being immune, individuals in one of these groups may be at a greater risk of developing complications from infection because of their medical status, but they may still be protected if a large enough percentage of the population is immune.[4][14][19][20]"

  5. Call CPS on Hundreds Rally For Their Right To Not Vaccinate Their Children (msn.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Call CPS, have them come get the kids. It's a danger to themselves and to the public safety. Enough with these loony tunes who think it's their right to endanger their offspring and the general population.

  6. Agreed. They lost a sale here by not having it or even having the Plus come stateside.

  7. What a jackass. Sure, everything was made better by decreasing competition and just being subservient to an open source engine that is mainly influenced by one big player. This idiot got a lot more attention than he probably thought he would- good.

  8. Mapping your shortcut to firefox -p doesn't do enough for you?

  9. I mean, look at this and you can see precisely why employees have no loyalty to their companies. Either at least give people inflation-based raises or merit ones on top or face the prospect of losing them.

  10. Re:I guess everyone forgot - on Ivanka Trump Used Personal Account For Emails About Government Business (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    People like you will just handwave away anything and make any kind of justification you can right? I have no idea why anyone feels the need to defend Trump or his family sooooooo much. It's as if an attack on them is an attack on you personally. It's quite pathetic.

  11. Morons on Wisconsin's $4.1 Billion Foxconn Boondoggle (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The "deal" was dumb from the start even with all of its dubious promises. Now it promises to be much worse than even that. Wisconsin itself is pretty stupid compared to its neighbor Minnesota. Similar stories save for their political leadership. Just look at the differences that has made.

  12. Re:Linux Desktop is DEAD on You Can Play Over 2,600 Windows Games on Linux Via Steam Play (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone pissed in this dude's windows cheerios.

  13. It should be noted that CentOS 6 notably (and RH6 I would assume) by default still ship with PHP 5 (5.6 by now I think?) To get a newer version, you must add a different repo as I don't think PHP7+ is even in EPEL. I can easily see why the number is so high, not to mention anyone crazy enough to run PHP on IIS where it most likely will just tick to the end of its useful life instead of going through an upgrade process.

  14. Re:Welcome in China on Google Drops Out of Pentagon's $10 Billion Cloud Competition (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    This sounds like a typical stupid fascist statement. The company doesn't wish to support the military in this endeavour and that makes them unpatriotic? Even if it DOES get developed (which it most likely will) people can still feel better about not supporting it. Didn't the guy who created the electric chair end up regretting it? Sometimes peace of mind is a very comforting thing.

  15. Oh boohoo. Are the cops supposed to ignore the dead body in the hall when they search your house for weed they could smell? Pro tip- if you don't want to be found guilty, don't fucking commit the crime asshole.

    Pretty much. I know there was somber mood in my office the next day. I'd guess some workspaces had an ecstatic atmosphere the next day. It's part of life.

  19. Yep Yep Yep on Startups Ditching Silicon Valley For New Cities (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Dovetails with the recent CNBC article that listed places like Cincinnati and Chattanooga being the recipients of some such startups. Cali will be just fine but other cities stand to benefit.

  20. Slowly going forward on Microsoft Will Require Business Partners To Offer Paid Parental Leave (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Amazing that it takes a private company to start going where every other Western country has been at for some time.

  21. Re:Ignorance on Fewer Than Half of Young Americans Are Positive About Capitalism (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The only ignorance here is yours. It's pretty clear "socialism" as they understand and want it is nothing more than socialist democracy like Norway and most of Europe has. My god, the amount of people who latch onto FULL SOCIALISM when they hear anything with the word socialism is staggering. That's just as dumb as people saying capitalist means a few at the top and the rest struggling for scraps from the table on the bottom. "Oh no, a government that actually works for the people and not businesses and the 1%! The horror!"

  23. Re:Where is Open source software to rescue us? on With DaaS Windows Coming, Say Goodbye To Your PC As You Know It (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, I mean, in what context. You already can and do pay for Windows 10 Enterprise if you're a company of a certain size. For home users, who mostly just do internet surfing, youtube, and email, most any Linux distro is far more than capable to handle that load. As Linus Torvalds said, the greatest barrier to Linux on the desktop is that Windows is preloaded from the factory. Loading Linux onto a computer is an extra step and requires a modicum of tech savviness to install. If it wasn't for that, I think we'd see a lot more people on Linux. I mean, software installs already are far easier (and have been) on Linux with their software stores where it's as easy as opening the app, clicking install, done. Only recently has MS made a push at all for a centralized repo (the MS store) that offers the same. As to your final question, Linux does not have what Windows created over the decades- namely a ton of legacy code that keeps Windows from being a far better OS than it is today.

  24. Productivity increase on In This Economy, Quitters Are Winning (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    "The trend could stoke broader wage growth and improve worker productivity, which have been sluggish in the past decade." I could give a fuck about worker productivity. It's been going up and up for a couple decades with barely any wage growth. Companies have profited immensely from workers fearing losing their job. You want real wage growth? Do like said above and decouple health insurance from business. Then people could really go find jobs worth the pay.

    Knew it wouldn't take long for some douche to come in and blast Gnome. Somehow they do what every other DE does (ie. design what they want) yet take the most flack for it, not least of all from some AC.
