  1. Re: My IQ dropped 10 points after that summary on Why Your Call Center is Only Getting Noisier (mckinsey.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, msmash is the worst fucking piece of shit editor, and that's hard to do around here.

    Can't wait to see the facial expression on my organic nut sister-in-law when I show her that. Also, to my brother, who thinks a vaccination is the reason his teenage son acts like a typical teenager.

  3. UPS' have these in spades.

  4. Confirmed, you don't know the difference between bits and bytes. A common 16GB USB Voyager would be 20+MB/s read speed. If a USB stick was only doing 6MB/s, I'd throw it out.

  5. Re: Who isn't using paint.net? on Microsoft Confirms It's Not Killing Off Paint After Outpouring of Support (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know if moving it to the store will kill it. It might even be the store's "killer app" that finally gets some of us to give it 2 seconds consideration.

    Bitter much?

    This is the first time in my life seeing "#" instead of "lbs". Not only does it not look right, it doesn't even sound right. Given the need to shift the keyboard to type a #, why be different? Are you retarded?

    Outside security, there tends to be a pile of banned items abandoned. This could just be a clever employee that made this shit up so they could collect all the abandoned comics.

  9. I like your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

  10. Re: This article is a mess on DNS Lib Underscore Bug Bites Everyone's Favorite Init Tool, Blanks Netflix (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Because the editors here couldn't hack it at a high school newspaper. There's no respect for us and they have no integrity, they are click bait assholes.

  11. How is that different? This is the undesirable behaviour you just listed.

  12. Re: When's sshd getting incorporated? on DNS Lib Underscore Bug Bites Everyone's Favorite Init Tool, Blanks Netflix (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Ntp is shit to begin with. It needs a rewrite. Probably the most hassle Linux servers I ran in terms of crashing, needing to add special config, needing to undo required config when upgrade breaks, etc. Well, to be honest, not in the last year, but in the previous year+ before that.

  13. Re: Systemd is responsible for the libraries it us on DNS Lib Underscore Bug Bites Everyone's Favorite Init Tool, Blanks Netflix (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Did you read his comment before you replied, motherfucker? He expressly stated why your logic is fucking stupid: "This has nothing to do with systemd except for the fact the user happened to be using systemd at the time, and systemd happens to use this library. What next? A kernel bug gets blamed on systemd because systemd uses the kernel?" And now, as the facts come in, it wasn't even close to systemd's fault as this was experimental and no way default. When you have to go out of your way to bitch like you do, you just weaken your argument as being a whiny little bitch.

  14. Re: Blanks Netflix for a userbase edge case on DNS Lib Underscore Bug Bites Everyone's Favorite Init Tool, Blanks Netflix (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    I read the headline and thought, "what fucking idiot wrote this nonsensical headline" ? And then started reading and continued to wonder how something written so poorly got posted to /. Then I remembered how shitty the editors are here.

    Payroll of 14 people plus lawyers over months. Seriously, this shit was spelled out clearly.

  16. Life? Any argument with a woman? Any argument with religious fanatics? 3 Little Pigs and the Big, Bad Wolf? This phrase is so common, they probably say it every other Law and Order.

    This couple you refer to, would that be the Koch brothers?

  18. Coincidence on Ask Slashdot: Someone Else Is Using My Email Address · · Score: 1

    Out of the numbers of GMAIL users, some portion of people will use the same email address and coincidentally use same password, ending up in a shared mailbox experience. Then there's amnesia, schizophrenia, Alzheimer's, etc.

    Yes, if it was supposed to withstand more than one point of damage. In a battery, the limiting and safety need to be built into the battery and prevent overcharging. Of course you want a smart, working charger as well, but the battery needs protection built in.

    Oh shit! They bought a fire phone at fire sale price! Maybe that saying has been wrong all these years.

    No. The joke has lasting power by how ludicrous it was. People still reference the Dallas dream season from the 80's. This shit will die out when we don't hold cell phones in our hands anymore and they're grafted to our ears. (Apple circa 2030. You heard it here first, folks!) No one needs to defend Steve Jobs. He was a first rate asshole.

    IANAL, but on TV, a condition of settlement is to seal the records so you don't know the settlement details. Lawyers, what say you?

    Then expectation is reduced capacity, not increased chance of fire explosion, no? One is a minor inconvenience and the latter is not.

    There is no gmail.ca domain or service. It's a made up story. I can't believe that had to be explained further.
