  1. Jakarta? on 'Java EE' Has Been Renamed 'Jakarta EE' (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about Coffy McCoffeeface?

  2. Too expensive on Your Love of Your Old Smartphone Is a Problem for Apple and Samsung (wsj.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If I think $1300CAD is too expensive for a MacBook Air, you can imagine what I think about iPhone prices.

  3. Re:First it was industrialization on AI Will Create New Jobs But Skills Must Shift, Say Tech Giants (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    People will always find things to do. But will they be able to earn a living?

  4. LinkedIn wasn't built for low-skilled job seekers.

    If you equate white-collar with skills and blue-collar with no skills, you're sadly mistaken. Look up the definition of skill.

  5. Surely you meant "404 ot foud", or "404 (m/2)ot fou(m/2)d".

  6. Offer in-game item purchase via the DigiByte crypto-currency and bypass this new requirement.

  11. Re:Restrict use of screens for little ones on Children Struggle To Hold Pencils Due To Too Much Tech, Doctors Say (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I was a huge tech kid in the 80's.

    In the 80's, you were not a huge tech kid. You were a nerd.

    I'm glad that most people also have to use tech now, because it means that unlike the 80's, now they NEED us.

  12. If any books need burning it would be the Bible, the Koran and the Torah.

    First of all, aren't you forgetting a lot of religions? That's religious discrimination, my friend!

    Secondly, it's funny how you're trying to talk down religions while still writing the name of their books with capital letters.

  13. The vast majority of players are not professional eSports players.

  14. The other 10% being "do not eat glue".

  15. You can still put most of us 40+ against teens and we'll still win - if the controls are keyboard+mouse.

    But me? I can't use these stupid tiny-ass analog thumbsticks. They're so bad that games need to have aim-assist built-in.

    If that's the case, shouldn't he also be very acquainted with something pencil sized?

    It's as real as the "money" I have in my bank account, i.e. numbers in a computer.

    Except my bank could drop that to zero and I wouldn't have any proof of what they owe me, unlike Bitcoin and its blockchain.

  21. Also asking for a friend.

  22. Re: this is a laughably easy conversion to make on Manafort Left an Incriminating Paper Trail Because He Couldn't Figure Out How to Convert PDFs to Word Files (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Worst I ever saw was something that was originally in Word, printed on an inkjet and then faxed to us.

    The problem is that it didn't stop there. Our secretary had the job of keeping digital copies of what the fax received, and she "saved space" by saving the received faxes in medium-quality JPEGs.
