    Got the feeling that the person who posted this comment is unfamiliar with a concept known as a woosh.

  2. Col. Robert Iverson: People. Doctors Zimsky and Keyes? You guys are our resident geophysicists, so what do you make of this?

    Dr. Conrad Zimsky: The mantle is a chemical hodgepodge of, a, variety of elements...

    Dr. Ed 'Braz' Brazzelton: Say it with me: "I don't know."

    That has to be propaganda. I've read North Korea doesn't even have computers.

    Don't use drones to write stuff with smoke in the sky, that's moronic.

    Use a swarm of drones and use them as pixels to write something in the sky.

    The keyboard on my 760XL just plain sucks. No idea if it's pre-*30 Series or not.

    All the latest Apple laptops have bad keyboards, really. Bad to use, bad engineering, lots of problems.

    The last good Apple laptop keyboards are on the 2015 MacBook Pro (still available) and the MacBook Air.

    Being able to "installing Linux on a Chromebook" doesn't make all Chromebooks Linux systems.

    Your argument is flawed from the start.

    The sad truth is, he's probably still doing his old job, which would explain why everything else sucks so bad.

    Wow. You're pissed at Apple because you were dumb enough to rip all your CDs into a lame-ass Microsoft-only format? Seriously?

    iTunes works fine with MP3 and AAC files, both industry standards. The only Apple-only format is Apple lossless.

    Did Mexico move to NORTH-America?

    Do you even geography?

    When you have a measurement system that's completely out of whack [...], you're inclined to use metrics that are easier to grasp.

    I see what you did there.

    If found the incident of Chrome updating while I was in the middle of doing a joke related to Chrome's stupidly high version to be funnier than my original joke.

  14. Re:It remains... on What Happens to Open Source Code After Its Developer Dies? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh ok, Linux is the exception because you run an old version in a VM.

    And you can't do that with your old software because... no reason at all, except that you want to crap on commercial software you once used yourself?

    Your logic is flawed.

  15. Re:prediction: on New Samsung Video Demos Linux on Galaxy Smartphones (liliputing.com) · · Score: 2

    First of all you are cherry-picking your statistics to believe your own lies.

    1. Apple sells a lot more laptops than desktops. Only counting Mac desktops is sure to lower their numbers.

    2. Chromebooks are not Linux, they're Chrome OS, dependent on Google and online applications. A real Linux system does not depend on Google for anything.

    3. Without Chromebooks Linux is far from outnumbering Macs on the desktop.

    Of course, Linux has more installs if you count servers, but you're talking about desktops so you can't include servers.

    Well, the title says "Linux 4.14 Has Been Released" while the summary begins with "Linux 4.11 has been released."

    I think they don't even know there's such things as "cold weather", "no ocean view" or "too expensive". They're all rich assholes full of themselves.

    That's a different problem than UTF-8, though. The character probably got removed by an HTML filter.
