    You've confused Liberalism and Libertarianism.

    It's different when you're in a position of power relative to another group, and have been for centuries or longer.

    Not sure why you got downmodded. It is shady, and tacky, and not at all automatic.

    Thanks for digressing and telling us about these other people who focus on inconsequential and unrelated details.

  6. I'm pretty sure grandpost is right that being terminated for sexual identity or orientation isn't illegal across the countr. While your statement on harassment is probably true, it's a separate matter.

  7. Re: I thought it was obvious on TSA Screeners Can't Detect Weapons (and They Never Could) (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The TSA was created by the Transportation Security Act of 2001, voted for by every sitting Senator and more Republican U.S. Representatives than Democrats. The only thing following the money shows is that a union will donate more to the party that's not trying to weaken or end them everywhere, which is news to no one.

    That's the National Treasury Employees Union. Do Treasury Employees have something, anything, to do with airport security?

    Security requires both encryption and trusted identification. The first is easy, the second is what the CAs are for.

    How'd Apple get thrown under the same bus? All but one of their laptop models is still 16:10!

    "less significant architecture changes"?

    What are you talking about? They're both coming from PowerPC derivatives and non-AMD/ATI GPUs.

    The article is about the Surface Pro 3. The Surface 3, a different machine with a similar form factor, does not have a fan.

    So you'd favor a similarly old and stable Linux distribution's release over the current one for your desktop/laptop, like Debian Etch over Jessie?

    What use is an "arbitrary file" on its own? Is your phone's precious built-in storage worth using more than an everyday flash drive?

    Are you able to download MP3 files into another phone OS's storage and play it back with its native player? Do you actually do it?

    For the last, have you read about iOS8 Extensions, which get you to the same endpoint without flinging copies of data around willy nilly? https://developer.apple.com/ap...

    Your experience sucks, then, because the Type Cover has always been $130.

  18. This has been the case for over a decade, is it just now causing outrage?

  19. Re: A laptop with almost no ports?! on Apple's "Spring Forward" Event Debuts Apple Watch and More · · Score: 1

    So, how's the pricing for 8GB/256GB model of the heavier XPS13? I'm guessing it'll be pretty close once you up the storage and RAM to match and screen resolution past FHD. And if you were referring to the Lenovo LaVie Z HZ550, it starts at the same price as the (new) MacBook.

    Where, exactly, are tablets with 4GB of RAM and 32-64GB of storage standard? The iPad Air 2, Nvidia Shield, Galaxy Note, and Nexus 9 all start with 16GB of built-in storage.

    Applications built with the WinRT API deploy to Windows on Intel just as well, and that's the only API that was available on the devices not getting Windows 10.

  23. A few corrections on Is the Tablet Market In Outright Collapse? Data Suggests Yes · · Score: 1

    The SP3 is available with 8GB of RAM and the screen presents a better color gamut and higher resolution compared to the original Surface Pro. That's ignoring the newer-generation CPU, better battery life, less cramped screen, and noticeably lighter weight. But yeah, meh, since that's only how all computer lines evolve.
