  1. Re:Same-day-dupe on Apple's First Android App, Move To iOS, Is Getting Killed With One-Star Reviews · · Score: 1

    Not in the least. In fact, it gives me a bit of nostalgia for the old days, when you got to have every exact argument at least twice a week.

  2. This app, and the Android-fan 1-star reviews, is discussed ad nauseum already.

  3. Re:So USA is 0 for 2... on Chemical Evidence Shows the Nazis Weren't At All Close To Having the Bomb · · Score: 1

    Because the other 50% were genocidal Nazis? Maybe? Just a shot in the dark.

  4. Re:What will you do when you become president? on Interviews: Ask John McAfee About His Presidential Run · · Score: 5, Funny

    And will be be able to uninstall after that date?

    That's not what TFS says.

  6. Maybe try loosening the dress code? on Chinese Tech Companies Hire 'Cheerleaders' To Motivate Programmers · · Score: 1

    Camaraderie and a relaxed atmosphere are a perfect fit for tech, which can be especially stressful around crunch-time, what with long hours and whatnot. This, however, strikes me as contrived.

  7. Re:Dice Link on Do Tech Firms Really Want Liberal Arts Majors? · · Score: 1

    Just ride it out. This crap will go the way of the Dodo, soon. As will Bennett.

  8. Re:Data Plan Blew Up on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 1

    No, it's not. It's determined by whether available local ISP's offer unlimited plans, and whether that "unlimited" really means "unlimited" (which it usually does not).

  9. Re:Data Plan Blew Up on Microsoft Is Downloading Windows 10 Without Asking · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In this particular case, the villain is the greedy asshole ISP with the arbitrary data cap.

    There was no mention of Samsung Galaxy in the article.

  11. It depends. on Why Apple's iPhone Upgrade Program Is a Bad Deal For Most · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I have a mostly iOS household, but we do not upgrade every cycle. In fact, we usually skip two or three upgrades per device. And for the most part, I prefer to do so. The upgrade plan offers me nothing. Now, my friends who insist on upgrading every chance they get, this may be a better value proposition for them.

  12. Re:Nice advert. on Apple Product Event Highlights · · Score: 2

    The summary, as viewed from the front page, was a single sentence with a link.

  14. Re:not if you work on the Irish Sea ferries on Microsoft Continues To Resist US Warrant For Irish Data · · Score: 1

    When they push the boat off, do they say, "Floot away, ya fair-ay?"

  15. Re:I agree with Microsoft here. on Microsoft Continues To Resist US Warrant For Irish Data · · Score: 1

    The founders of the US believed that a bad law was no law at all.

  16. Re:Spoiler: every tenth word is "Guinness" on Microsoft Continues To Resist US Warrant For Irish Data · · Score: 1

    Fuinness?

  17. Re:time to trade? on Apple's Privacy Policies Are Keeping Data Scientists Away · · Score: 1

    Because you are using... Android?

  18. Our previous numbers were completely wrong. on Earth Home To 3 Trillion Trees, Half As Many As When Human Civilization Arose · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But these new numbers are completely right, and actionable. I am inspired with confidence.

  19. Re:Again? on A Farewell To Flash · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'll believe it when NetCraft confirms it.

    You can violate Russia's anti-gay-propaganda law today, if you wish, with no repercussion to yourself whatsoever. No incorporation needed.

    That's not what the French are asking for.

    I bet you're a riot at parties.

  25. Re:But it is from M$ on Microsoft Edge On Windows 10: the Browser That Will Finally Kill IE · · Score: 1

    Not true. Around 2000-ish, your only options were IE (crap), Netscape (at the end of its life it was a crashy, bloated warthog), and Opera (yay, ads). Of those three, IE was the most palatable (I'm not going to pay for a browser). Even open-source Mozilla, when it first came out, was unbearably huge. Now, when Firefox née Phoenix came out, I was done with IE forever and ever, amen. But before that it was the best of the bunch, for better or worse.
