  1. F_ck Ajit Pai on House Democrats Plan April Vote On Net Neutrality Bill (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    About bloody time, for this. Save the internet!!!

  2. Heh, within that analogy, could you imagine the outrage if computers had to have yearly inspections in order to remain internet legal?

    It could get some of the Spyware/Malware/Virus infested wrecks off of the information superhighway. :)
    But someone would probably tack on an "Approved OS only" list, so I would prefer governments stay away from attempting to regulate technology that they do not understand. (Most old men are just not qualified.) (Written by a 50YO white guy.)

    Unless I did it just to mess with people.

  4. Re:Exactly:About damned time on Trump Endorses Permanent Daylight Savings Time (thehill.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Trump says many things that are not idiotic.

    Citation needed.
    I have listened to him speak, and read many of his tweets. This is sufficient for me to know without a shred of doubt, that he is a moron.

    Trumpy and I agree about something. Repent, for the end is near.

  7. Re:unfortunately... on Scientists Report a Second Person Has Been Cured of HIV (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They haven't found a cure for the careless stupidity that lets people catch HIV in the first place. People that dumb are going to find a way to get themselves killed if they're that uncautious whether you cure their HIV or not.

    You mean "careless stupidity" like my childhood friend who got it from a blood transfusion after a car accident in which he was a passenger? Worthless sacks of shit like you make me sick.

  8. You can't fix Toronto. on Google's Sidewalk Labs Thinks a Reinvented Awning Will Fix Toronto's Winter (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Toronto is a festering shithole, that I will die a happy man, if I never set foot in again. I have never been able to figure out why anyone would volentarily go there. And I say that as a proud Canadian.

  9. All I can say is I swear a lot less using Linux, than I do when forced to use Windows.
    I also moved my 67 year old (Very nontechnical.) mother to a Linux Mint desktop, and the number of calls I got from her with issues dropped off to almost nothing after the first couple of weeks.

    My left shoe won't even reboot...

    So I guess if it won't reboot, then it must be dead. Don't be too upset though, it is probably in heaven. It turns out shoes have soles.

  12. If you send them enough "Herbal viagra" and "discount pharmacy" ads, the problem will likely self correct.

    Because they will produce an amazing tool. Then spend the rest of their lives supporting morons trying to use it. Prison would be better than that hell. :)

  14. Has it been a year already? on No Link Between Violent Video Games and Increased Aggression in Teens, Study Finds (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It seems like there is one of these stories per year. Always the same. Not that facts will ever sway the anti violent video games people. Not claiming for anyone else, but in my case I believe violent games probably saved some lives. Here is why: I was bullied constantly during high school and if I had not had the release of games when I got home from school I firmly believe that I would have lost it one day and come to school ready to take out those that deserved it. Those people are alive today because of video games.

  15. We need a Canadian wall! Made of ice and 100 yards tall! It's the only way to keep the White Walkers out,

    As a proud Canadian I support the building of a Canadian wall to keep the orange one out of my country.

    Maybe they are planning to open a Vancouver office. With the prices here, that should cover a medium sized office. Maybe even a couple of desks.

    You agree because you're a Linux zealot. You'll eat rancid goat feces before you ever admit to liking anything related to Microsoft.

    Wrong! I quite like Excel. But when I am forced to use Windows I find a swear a lot more than when I use Linux.
    Your mileage may varry.

  19. Re:Then you have two problems on You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess it takes all kinds. I run Linux Mint Cinnamon as my main desktop, and am amazed at how ungodly ugly Win10 is by comparison. I would put my work Mac as slightly ahead of Cinnamon.

  25. Re:What is WIndows? on 'Windows Isn't a Service, It's an Operating System' (howtogeek.com) · · Score: 1

    Lie to yourself all you want, my Mother and Father dont want to use Linux to do anything more than surf the web and send PMs and discord messages. While Linux is perfectly suited to that task, they all look and feel like complete "ASS" my parents, and subsequent people i try to get on the Linux bus. People are not interested (common) in bullshit tech they might be able to use down low.

    Have you looked at Windows 10 lately, and compared it to a recent Linux desktop? Win10 looks like ASS compared to Linux these days. I moved my completely non-technical mother to Linux years ago, and she is very pleased with it. Better yet, my support calls tapered off to almost nothing.
