  1. Re:A deeper problem: 285 Linux distributions!!! on There Are Real Reasons For Linux To Replace ifconfig, netstat and Other Classic Tools (utoronto.ca) · · Score: -1

    It's 285 reasons why Linux will fail to win the desktop.

  2. So why not create a command that only manipulated the routing policies? There is no reason to add it to some existing command, it's just ludicrous.

  3. Why not also report the numbers by other vendors? Why not also report what Apple themselves remove? Why not put those number is an easy to access page? Why? Because by mentioning the government numbers it get the public on your side. It manipulates public perception.

  4. Feature creep on YouTube Is Messing With the Order of Videos In Some User Feeds (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 0

    I've seen far too much changes made to many software all on the premise to make it easier for the end user. My own view is that many of these features are nothing more than programming exercises. Far too many designers and programmers have too much of a need to change things because they want to see how far they can takes things without a thought to the end user.

  5. The ability to multicast over IP has been around for years, it's just that no one really wants to use it and the carriers have no interest in configuring their systems to enable it. It is easier to do in IPv6 though.

  6. Conscious or unconscious on AI Can't Reason Why (wsj.com) · · Score: 0

    AI operates mainly at the conscious level, whereas the brain operates mainly at the unconscious level.

  7. Which is it? on AI Will Wipe Out Half the Banking Jobs In a Decade, Experts Say · · Score: 0

    The heading says "will", the body says "could", which is it? Someone needs to take a basic English course.

  8. Re:bad writeup on Someone Used Wet String To Get a Broadband Connection (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Yeah, that "arrogant fuck", Jim Al-Khalili, is a theoretical physicist. Go look him up shit for brain, and look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/....

  9. A better definition on What Does Artificial Intelligence Actually Mean? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    A set of instructions which improves upon itself and repeats.

  10. Re:A damn shame. on Linux Journal Ceases Publication (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Ah yes, the Monty Python issue. And that came not long after LJ criticised booth babes, then showed the MP guy at a piano, naked. Who was it that left LJ after the abuse they received because of that hypocrisy?

  11. I own no bitcoins on Did Elon Musk Create Bitcoin? (cryptocoinsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I own no bitcoins and I am Satoshi Nakamoto.

  12. Here are 2 other sites which have been breached. zoneedit.com 123-reg.co.uk Neither reported it and neither admit it.

  13. I'd rather be a doctor than a coder on Learn To Code, It's More Important Than English as a Second Language, Says Apple CEO (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Not everyone wants to code, not even a majority of people want to do that. There are many other jobs available that people aspire to, medicine, mechanical engineering, novel writing. The tech industry should get away from this notion that every child should learn to code.

  14. Couldn't happen to a better company. The way they show posts must be one of the most fucked up ways of doing it.

  15. Deprecate MM-DD-YYYY on Memorial Set For 'Pi Day' Creator (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    The US and all the others should just ditch MM-DD-YYYY. Such a fucked up way representing a date.

  16. What about the WHOIS database on Security.txt Standard Proposed, Similar To Robots.txt (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    1. The WHOIS database normally carries an abuse email address. 2. This does SFA for port scans, email abuse or other abuses not hosted on an web server.

  17. More than just breaches on Massive New Spambot Ensnares 711,000,000 Email Addresses (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    This list contains more than just breaches. It also contains email addresses scraped from mailing lists, as I have found a few I used. I wish spammers would start weeding out the crap in their lists...

  18. Google Play halves my battery life, I assume because I do not run a data or wifi connection. That pile of crap is disabled on my phone.

  19. What about cacert,org? on The EFF's 'Let's Encrypt' Plans Wildcard Certificates For Subdomains (letsencrypt.org) · · Score: 0

    Why not just fucking use cacert.org? let's encrypt do not give a running fuck who use their certificates, even criminals as they have already stated.

  20. Cheap publicity on Colombian Airline Wants To Make Passengers Stand (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, Ryan Air did propose much the same this a few years ago, then a couple of years later admitted they had no intention of going ahead with it and it was all to do with seeking publicity.

  21. Re:They are jealous on Raspberry Pi Wins UK's Top Engineering Award (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I think that was sarcasm.

  22. Stupid LTS release updates on Linux Kernel 4.14 Will Be An LTS Release (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope the fuck that it is better than 4.4. Having a LTS kernel come out with updates every few days is a complete joke. You may argue often, release early, but these are kernels used by the distos which do no such thing. Those that want release often, are more than likely to be using bleeding edge kernels, not LTS. Opensuse is at the moment using 4.4.70, yet the latest is 4.4.73. If you want Linux to succeed on the desktop, then bringing out new kernels every few days is not the way to do it.

  23. What about the logs??? on Someone Built a Tool To Get Congress' Browser History (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    What the hell is the difference between this and the normal logs produced by the web server?

  24. *xz on No More FTP At Debian (debian.org) · · Score: 1

    Until I can list only *xz files, that I would like to see (s)ftp continue.

  25. MS C++/Kylix on Microsoft Continues Porting Visual C++ To Linux (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    Is this going to be in the same vane as Borland's Kylix, which could only use it's own supplied libraries?
