    Too bad that 0.1 is underground because of the low frequencies.

    You got it all wrong.

    Over hundreds of millions of years, Dinosaurs evolved into rocks and this is proof.

    Wrong.

    The only Indie Films ever released are:

    - Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984)
    - Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989)
    - Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)

    Ah, so that really happened? I thought South Park was just inventing shit again.

    I guess they're still relevant then.

    ...it should be illegal to waist resources, and therefor pollute...

    It should also be illegal to write posts like yours but you don't see us asking to send your ass to jail.

    Also, not all energy is wasted or polluting. I'm mining Monero right now, powered by hydro-electricity and the heat byproduct is helping to heat my house because we're in the middle of winter here. It's so cold that I'm almost tempted to build three more PCs with all the old motherboards and CPUs I have in a box somewhere.

    "edit", sort of (another feature that Slashdot lacks)

    The numbers are all there on the website, it's just BeauHD writing trolling summaries once again.

    p.s.: my comment was written in accordance with the Slashdot tradition: post angry comment first, read article later.

  23. Microsoft-biased statistics? on Windows 10 Visits To US Government Sites Surpass Windows 7 For the First Time (onmsft.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Of the 2.54 billion visits to U.S. Government websites over the past 90 days:
    - 20.9% came from Windows 10
    - 20.7% from Windows 7
    - 2.7% from Windows 8.1
    - 0.05% from Windows 8
    - 0.8% from other OS

    Either they can't count, or that 0.8% does not include OS X/macOS, iOS, Android, Linux, BSD, etc in which case that 0.8% is the total number of Windows XP, Windows NT, Windows 98 and Windows 95 users.

    When it comes to browser share:
    - 44.4% for Chrome
    - 27.6% for Safari
    - 12.3% for Internet Explorer
    - 5.9% for Firefox
    - 3.9% for Edge

    Safari is only available on OS X/macOS and iOS, so it's clear the percentages for the OS are only for Windows.

    Are they afraid to tell us the number of people who don't use Microsoft on their computers/tablets/phones?

  24. Nothing out of the oridinary.

    And yet you were able to do it in that sentence.

    "We have never — and would never — do anything to intentionally shorten the life of any Apple product, or degrade the user experience to drive customer upgrades. Our goal has always been to create products that our customers love, and making iPhones last as long as possible is an important part of that," writes Apple."

    I guess that's why they're still using 5400RPM hard disk drives in the Mac mini, as well as soldering the RAM on the motherboard of the Mac mini, Macbook, Macbook Air and others. Oh wait. All this does is exactly that: intentionally shorten the life of the products as well as degrading the user experience to drive customer upgrades.
