  1. Honestly? on Firefox Finally Confirms 'Largest Change Ever' Featuring Electrolysis In v48 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Performance is the least of their problems. Security, first.

  2. Re:What else could she do? on North Korea Restarts Plutonium Production For Nuclear Bombs (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Our key leverage with North Korea is actually South Korea, by way of China. One of the diplomatic missives leaked by Snowden indicated that China sees its future economic interests lying with a reunited Korea centered in Seoul, not Pyongyang. To be honest, though, our influence in this increasingly inevitable event is minimal. China is the primary actor.

  3. Re:Well, it is either her or Trump. on Julian Assange: Google is 'Directly Engaged' In Hillary Clinton's Campaign (infowars.com) · · Score: 1

    FWIW, he might not be American. For instance, I have no frikkin' clue how long the English prime minister serves.

  4. I'm sorry. Without more context, we can't help you.

  5. Re: That's just too damn bad. on Weary Homeowners Wage War On Waze · · Score: 1

    Speed bumps ruin the utility of a road for and only for people driving too fucking fast.

    Oh, sorry. IoT widgets. That's the content.

    In that case, sir, I'd like to synergize some venture capital from you for my new end-to-end cloud content solution.

  8. When you put it like that, I guess we can think of Gawker as like a secret police for liberals. Don't have an opinion on anything, or we'll have to put a national fucking panopticon in your bedroom. On top of that, making this even worse, you're wrong. Peter Thiel donates mostly to Libertarian and pro-marijuana groups, with the occasional Republican presidential campaign contribution. There is no record of him donating to campaigns for anti-gay legislation, only donating to pro-gay ones. So, yeah, sweet friendly fire there.

  9. It's not barratry if the defendant is guilty.

  10. Re:Gawker is the one who screwed him on Tech Billionaire Peter Thiel Secretly Bankrolled Hulk Hogan's Lawsuit Against Gawker: Reports (gawker.com) · · Score: 1

    But, but, but, libertarian!

  11. By "dug up dirt" you mean they publicly outed him as gay when he was not ready, which was none of their, or our, fucking business (no pun intended). If I had the power and money, I would have done the same thing in his position. Fuck Gawker; they reaped what they sowed. As far as I'm concerned, it's poetic justice.

  12. Re:This will change EVERYTHING on Apple To Open Up Siri To Developers, Release An Amazon Echo Competitor (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    For voice recognition, saying it wrong will absolutely ensure failure.

  13. It's not rocket science, people.

    Oh, wait...

  14. Re:"We don't have the network skill" on No, Apple Won't Become a Wireless Carrier (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    Are you saying the phone calls I've been making on my iPhone are really just voices in my head?

  15. I think mdsolar forgot to log in.

  16. Re:Archive its DNA on Why Don't Scientists Kill The 'Demon In The Freezer'? · · Score: 2

    And THIS thread is why The Verge and Ars Technica can never replace /. for me.

  17. I was a Gentoo "ricer" for years. It was my first pick when I needed a Linux VM. But currently there is no official support for the Linux Hyper-V Integration Services on Gentoo, and the only overlay I could find was out of date.

  18. I tried out Kubuntu but the base packages gave me a weird error (no customization; I just took default options).

  19. He's on Ubuntu, which is all in on Gnome. I, myself, am looking for a Hyper-V friendly distro with KDE default and no systemd. Alas, there is none.

  20. Re: Chromebook is great on Chromebooks Outsell Macs For the First Time In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Depending on the topic, you will get better results on Bing.

  21. Re:Only $9B valuation... on Theranos Withdraws Two Years of Blood Test Results (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a saying from Dr. John Bridges in 1587. But the gist of it is consistent with the teachings of Proverbs, which primarily advocates for scrupulous and discerning use of both words and money.

  22. Chromebook is great on Chromebooks Outsell Macs For the First Time In the US (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The low cost with touch screen tells me all the other laptops are extremely marked up. My only disappointment is the lack of apps for it. But for simple Google Docs work, it can't be beat for the dollar.

    The comments suck, too.

    Self-fulfilling prophecy?

  24. I don't think it worked. Your post never showed up on my screen.

    Ugh. Slashdot editor ate a whole paragraph about how Louis XVI tried the placate extremists in the second and third estates, and did so in good faith. It was a good paragraph. I'll miss it. :'(
