  1. Re: browser is inherently insecure on An Up-to-Date Browser Should Keep Users Safe From Most Exploit Kits (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    100% valid answer, I do use those tools but they're not browsers.

  2. Atari is wrong to have accepted an interview to talk about an unfinished product and the journalist was wrong for posting an article about said unfinished product.

  3. No shit! In other news, water is wet and Trump is a fucking moron!

    Oh shit! Somebody better stop Trump, he's trying to make copies of himself!

    And which browesrs are we supposed to test with, apart from Chrome?

    Safari? Sure, the total marketshare of Macs, iPads and iPhones is not negligible.

    Edge? I guess, given the marketshare of Windows.

    Firefox? I don't want to waste time on less than 2% of users and neither will my clients pay for the time required.

    And get the fuck out with your fucking frameworks and libraries, that's another source of bloat and security holes.

  5. I'm not redefining words, you're the one who's not understanding what a Mac actually is.

    A Mac is a combination of hardware and software. Without both, it's not a Mac.

  6. Do we ban Uber, Hulu, cars or pedestrians?

  8. A Mac is not only one thing: it's both hardware AND software. As soon as you remove one, it becomes not a Mac.

    That's also the reason a non-Apple computer running OS X/macOS is called a Hackintosh and not a Mac.

  9. What is this, a computer for ANTS?! on The World's Smallest Computer Can Fit on the Tip of a Grain of Rice (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes. Yes it is.

  10. Re:Yes. A pic can have a GUI, flash disk on The World's Smallest Computer Can Fit on the Tip of a Grain of Rice (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The ATmega2560 has a GUI, has a manual interface, stores configuration and program in flash memory and can access data stored on an external memory card so it also fits this narrow definition of computer.

    Mod parent +1 Informative.

    Those so-called "engineers" are probably stupid millenials who never studied history in their own field.

  12. When you run Windows on a Mac then it's not a Mac anymore, it's a Windows PC.

  13. Sounds like a job for Faraday Cage on Algeria Shuts Off Entire Country's Internet To Stop Students From Cheating (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    And if Faraday Cage is not available, you can try to get Nicolas Cage.

  14. set up an underground wireless network (if that term even makes sense)

    Sure it does. It's called underground wires.

    Yeah... I think you got married to a zombie or something.

  17. A Mac is not a PC in that its operating system is not what people mean when they say PC. That's why there's PC and Mac, two distinct platforms.

    Of course, if you're booting Windows on your Mac, I'm not even considering it a Mac anymore.

    And Final Fantasy XIV is one of those rare PS4/PC cross-platform game.

    Once you order your burger style through a human concierge on a tablet, a compressed air tube pushes a baked-that-day bun into an elevator on the right. It's sawed in half by a vibrating knife before being toasted and buttered as it's lowered to conveyor belt.

  23. I had never seen any "join Facebook" ads before.

    But since the last two days, I've seen probably a dozen "Join Facebook today!" ads, including on top of YouTube videos (little banners that pop above the video controls, that you need to close manually - PITA).

    I'll wait. Make sure to include environmental data and pollution data from the process.

    And will you also include the environmental and pollution data about ICE vehicles? You know, offshore platforms, fuel transport and transformation, spills, smog, etc?
