    No, that's attacking guacamole's credibility.

    Seize his offshore money. $200 billion according to some estimates.

    Unencrypted? Wtf are you talking about? These are attacks against firewalled networks. Fuck off.

    They should rebrand as PotLister, and take advantage of all the decriminalization going around.

    I just read them for the articles.

    "In this case, the SCIENCE dictates that a fire is in fact a very real potential." The science? Me thinks you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

  9. False equivalence. Does Ford fight against driver's licence restrictions? If seniors were forced to get tested more often or prove competency, would Ford be actively fighting that?

  10. Doesn't the cost to produce the Apple factor in? So it's mostly output vs input?

  11. Re: I have seen the future, and it sucks on 'Flippy,' the Fast Food Robot, Turned Off For Being Too Slow (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow, you must have some really good humans cooking your steak. Instead of a robot cooking to an absolute, repeatable perfect temperature, you want some kid making variable temperature steaks? The last two times I ate at high end steak house with 5 or more people, at least one person has a poorly cooked steak, one has perfect, and the rest falls in between. At least one person who should send it back lives with it so not to hold up the rest of dinner. I welcome the food making robots. Humans fuck up, a lot. The variation in topping application varies from person to person. Robot food should actually look closer to how they look in marketing.

  12. Free stuff? Where the fuck did that come from? It should bother you that you have no understanding, at all.

  13. How about the UK? So many fucking subs blown up protecting supply lines in WW2.

  14. Re: Trump needs to create a red line! on Elon Musk Sides With Trump On Trade With China, Citing 25 Percent Import Duty On American Cars (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's called Mar-a-Lago, and it's more like a relaxation camp.

  15. I didn't read this as being the same thing as the 25% import tariff on raw steel, but specifically a different one on assembled cars being imported. In other words, Elon would rather China drop their 25% tariff on US imports into China the most, but if it goes both ways, at least it's more even playing field.

  16. Step 4 achieved on McAfee Acquires VPN Provider TunnelBear (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    1. Start VPN company 2. ??? 3. ??? 4. Profit

  17. Many Linux distros lost that feature years ago. Google says Unity stopped years ago. I learned this when I set up some laptops for production use, ended up having to launch screens as workaround because session state doesn't work. This would have been mint or lxle distro. Fucking pissed me off to learn that. Fragmentation in linux is a real bitch.

  18. Re: Go linux on Windows 10 Is Finally Adding Tabs To File Explorer (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    "I have never nor have I witnessed anyone who has had a driver issue with linux." You're either fucking young, fucking inexperienced, or don't have any fucking friends. Making statements like that just exposes your inexperience, not expertise.

    Yes. What part don't you understand? It's pretty fucking straight forward.

    Can you name such incidents of US stealing Chinese tech? Because there's only about a million cases of Chinese stealing US and Canadian IP. Do you think the US has an infiltration program in China equivalent to the Chinese infiltration in US? They're not even fucking close.

  21. You'll get flagged if you show up way too early for a flight. 3 hours, lots of margin and reasonable. 12 hours? "Wtf is this guy doing?", scrutiny.

  22. You are mistaking patents for trademarks. With patents, you don't sue right away so they can design around your patent and you get nothing, you wait a few years for damages to acrue. Then you collect a payday. But if you can fucking read, you'll see they've tried negotiations before, for years.

  23. No, they'll rip the designs and hard work from Monster instead.
