    Or, as Cave Johnson would say:

    I mean, she's going from Telstra to Tesla? That's just removing two letters and moving one at a different place in the string.

  5. What's comical is that we're paying to have powerful computers on our desk and in our pockets but that power is being wasted on a war that's been going on between users and marketing departments for over a decade now.

    Convince your employer to start an hour later or earlier and you will see a major difference.

    I took your idea and wanted to improve upon it. However, my boss was not amused when I asked that we change our work hours from 08:00-to-17:00 to 21:00-to-06:00.

    Holy shit, if you have to drive 300 minutes every day to get to work then you really need to move closer to work. This is a major cut into your life time, your bank account, everything.

  9. Saying that Linux has games via Wine/etc is like saying that my Mac is compatible with the Nintendo GameBoy because of emulators.

    Yes there is more games than ever compatible with Linux, I see that every time I look at game listings on Steam. But Overwatch is not "Linux compatible".

  10. I think my original post was caused by a lack of technology called morning coffee.

    But you will be modded down because "people have the right to have children" and other idiots who think about themselves before looking at the overall picture. This is why we're doomed as a species: overpopulation, famine, war. In that order.

  12. I explained why some people put up with this shit and your reply is that you don't play games.

  13. I'm pretty sure I saw something similar, almost three decades ago.
