  1. Re:No fan-run servers? on EA Shuts Down Fan-Run Servers For Older Battlefield Games (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    In my days, CPUs didn't even require any cooling. We had to squeeze everything from 4MHz or less, no graphic subsystem, no audio subsystem.

  2. Re:Alternatives to BF 2142? (no gore, fun action) on EA Shuts Down Fan-Run Servers For Older Battlefield Games (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I've seen friends play that game on the Wii U (or was it the Switch?) and... it's hard to describe. Try to imagine paintball mixed with Taito's Qix.

  3. Re:First CS assignment. on If You Type 1+2+3 Into Your iPhone's Calculator on iOS 11, You Probably Won't Get 6 (qz.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I have the Win10 Creators Edition and the calculator gave me this result: "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that".

    I knew Win10 was crap, but come on. My name's not Dave!

  4. Re:Obligatory Douglas Adams on CERN Scientists Conclude that the Universe Should Not Exist (ign.com) · · Score: 1

    I prefer the radio version.

  5. The iPhone SE is the perfect size and still has a headphone jack. It's two wins vs the iPhone 8 and the iPhone X.

  6. Re:So, the note about "modest living" on Einstein's Note On Happiness, Given To Bellboy In 1922, Fetches $1.6 Million (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, nice one. I hope someone uses that defense in court someday.

    It does not matter, the important thing is the words and their meaning.

    “A quiet and modest life brings more joy than a pursuit of success bound with constant unrest.”

    I just made a copy above, for free.

  9. Re:Great for Amazon on Amazon Tops 540K Employees After Swallowing Whole Foods in $13.7B Deal (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    The $5 value was an arbitrary number I wrote.

    The item is not rare in itself, but they're the only seller for it on Amazon.ca

    You can fix that yourself, by not doing business with them.

    Already doing that. It's a no-brainer.

    I doubt very much they have a total monopoly on $5 commodities.

    On the particular item I wanted to buy, they're the only seller.

    You could also leave one-star reviews on the basis that the offer is a rip-off.

    I tried doing that and my review was not approved on the basis that it was not about the item.

    Would you like to know more ?

  12. I'm sorry but the iPhone 8 and iPhone X are crap. The best phone on the market right now is the iPhone SE.

  13. Of course Android outsells everyone, they're still selling brand new phones that run old Android versions from several major versions ago and marketshare is nothing near the latest OS version.

  14. Re:Did not address the important issue on Google Addresses Pixel 2 XL Display Issues, Pixel 2 Clicking Sounds With Software Updates (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    ... you bought a phone from the company most known for its tracking and its ads and you want to disable tracking on a piece of hardware made by them? That's like buying an iPod and bitching about iTunes.

  15. Because "free markets", even if there is no such thing anymore.

  16. How about they fix the crazy sellers who are asking $80 to ship a $5 item to Canada?

  17. Basic IT security on UK's NHS Could Have Avoided WannaCry Hack With 'Basic IT Security', Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Basic IT security, i.e. don't use Microsoft.

  18. ... anyone got a Tylenol?

  19. Not that hard on This Machine Kills Captchas (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Bitcoin/etc faucet sites use the "click on the squares containing street signs/buses/cars/etc" captcha. I get about a new dozen ones every week or so, otherwise it's almost always the same graphics. A script could be written and updated manually for this, no need for A.I.

  20. That might explain the weird taste of this doomsday-flavoured rainbow gum I bought yesterday.

  21. But aren't we already suppose to be under ten feet of water?

    Yeah! And didn't science say that man could never fly or go in space? Because science never gets better and past theories will always be right forever!
