  1. Re:not evil on Android Oreo's Rollback Protection Will Block OS Downgrades (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    When Alphabet took over they removed that motto from their code of conduct in 2015 so they are free from "doing no evil" for 2 years now...

  2. Re:Software development on People Start Hating Their Jobs at Age 35, Study Says (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Same here...

    I have found myself on one of these projects, 3 years in (contractor) and not really close to being complete. At this point it's pretty much copypasta / tweak the code base for new features. But as you say it's good money and lots of work left.

  3. Breaking news !!!! on Linux Is Not As Safe As You Think (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Life is not as safe as you think!! News at 11...

  4. Re:Always on Facebook Has a New Mission: Bring the World Closer Together (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    That what social media is about, isn't it?

    I thought it was about ripping society apart by not being open to others ideas and opinions just ones in your own social circles...

  5. Re:120 whatchyamacallit on It's Too Hot For Some Planes To Fly In Phoenix (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    And that's about 322 kelvin for the rest of the universe :P

    Actually that is for planet earth only, it's wise to assume that unless we are the only intelligent life form in the universe our measurement units are specific to us alone.

  6. Two documentaries that I just finished recently on What Are Some Documentaries and TV Shows That You Recommend To Others? · · Score: 1

    The Pruitt Igoe Myth - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

    Mommy Dead and Dearest. - https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  7. Re:Chrome is an amazing piece of software on Google Releases Chrome 59 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I just tried to look up security certificate info for a site and have just discovered you can't any more. You used to be able to click on the padlock to access it!

    Average Jane and Joe User don't care about a sites certificate and the trust chain. Nor do they care about the settings in it's place. I am surprised that Google even has those. I often feel that the only reason Google has not updated it's UI to a Fisher Price UI is because they still want cred in edgy category.

  8. Re:shitty content on Hollywood Sees Illegal Streaming Devices as 'Piracy 3.0' (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 0

    Conversely, they'd be much more profitable if they didn't waste so much money on useless DRM and fighting piracy.

    Then perhaps they could reinvest those profits in quality programming.

    Like you'd stop pirating content if that happened... lol

  9. Sucks to be a competitor of Netflix... on Netflix CEO Says Net Neutrality Is 'Not Our Primary Battle' (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    in a net neutrality focused internet is basically what he is saying...

  10. Re:Bad reason on JSON Feed Announced As Alternative To RSS (jsonfeed.org) · · Score: 1

    I agree lets just stop using all of this ridiculous markup language once and f

  11. Re:Exception to butterage on Should You Leave Google Chrome For the Opera Browser? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Why not they trust Google with it. Abusing the data is still abusing the data no matter what company has it.

  12. Re:See Qualcomm story on Apple Pledges $1 Billion Toward Creating Manufacturing Jobs In US (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually the number of cloned parts you can buy in China that are direct copies of Apples own designs and given Apple's legendary control of their products it makes sense that they would now want to bring the manufacturing under tighter control by putting it in their backyard. Plus the $258 Billion in cash they are sitting on helps too...

  13. Well duh! on No, Millennials Aren't a Bunch of Job-Hopping Flakes (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    college-educated millennials

    Not like they have a choice in the matter given the cost of education...

  14. But you are willing to be the product to Google I'd bet.

  15. A better reply would be "I'm sorry , I don't understand the question."

  16. You realize that Republican and Democrat does not mean anything in the USA anymore right? Lobbyists have owned both parties for awhile now so there is no more red vs. blue only the green party (and I don't mean environment).

  17. Re:Apple has no future. on Forget Apple. Xiaomi CEO Now Wants to Be More Like Costco (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    But that means stripping humanity away from materialism and vanity. Not going to happen anytime soon unless we fall into another great depression and at that point everyone is screwed.

  18. Re: Just stop incrementally on Most Teens Who Abuse Opioids First Got Them From a Doctor (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    It's ironic that we create perfectly good drinking water only to shit in it...

  21. Re:Windows Store/Universal Platform on Microsoft Reportedly Working On a 'Lightweight Version of Windows' Known As 'Cloud Shell' (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Not the store per se but UWP. I have developed a few apps for my company already. One is used on both desktop and some cheap windows tablets (inventory / shipping / receiving).

    As for the Cloud Shell I wonder if it's just a version of Windows Server 2016 Nano running in the cloud.

    It's not that Android spy's on you it's all the malware that does (not even from the carriers or Google).

  25. Dropbox Kills Public Folders... on Dropbox Kills Public Folders, Users Rebel (ndtv.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Actually the title should read...

    Dropbox killing deep linking resources

    This after reading hundreds of comments and concerns on the various forum topics about how most people were mad about having to update their websites and the "thousands" of links that point to these resources.
