    Furthermore, Trump never asked these companies to work on it. They were asked by "reporters" whether they would participate and they've been standing on soap boxes ever since. Fuck every single of them.

    Agreed. I come to tech news sites to get away from this bullshit. I stopped visiting Ars Technica because of this and I absolutely refuse to visit The Verge. When I want politics I have sites to go to for that. Slashdot has always been a cesspool for this shit and I will admit I have been sucked in on a number of occassions but I just took a multi month break from slashdot because of this crap. Get back to news for nerds or fuck off

    My Surface Pro 3 dynamically figures out the time left. It will show me how much time I have left if I continue to use the computer in the same way. Light work naturally will show more time left than playing a video game.

  6. Man you Democrats haven't been this pissed off since us Republicans freed your slaves. I'm loving it.

    I too work for a f500 and we have a dedicated team of about 10 plus an offshore SOC and an on shore VSOC which brings numbers to around 30-40 people. However I know intel has around 250 people dedicated to security. My local power company with less than 5000 employees total has about 20 people. It all depends on what you're guarding really. Plus do you count consultants? Its funny numbers.

    He isn't even in office dumb ass.

    How many self-driving cars went into tunnels and stopped when they lost GPS and Internet connectivity?

    None. They cache the GPS + map data for several miles in all directions for this type of scenario.

  10. Great! on Microsoft Will Soon Start Bundling Drivers With Windows Store Games (thurrott.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    What could possibly go wrong?

  11. I loaded Windows one last time when Windows 8 came out - and upgraded to Windows 10 on all of the systems used primarily for gaming in the household. That's when the problems started happening: I detected a large number of connections back to Redmond Washington coming from each machine. Taken together these connections brought my network to a stand still, primarily I believe due to NAT table conflicts and related resource issues on the router/firewall. I loaded Linux - and the problem went away.

    With Steam, and other gaming venues for Linux - I'm done. Never going back to Windows again. If I were to buy a surface - it would be to load Linux on it - which would be a waste of money.

    You must have a really shitty network if it can't take a couple of UDP packets here and there. That or you're talking out of your fucking ass.

  12. There. I said it.

    But I read it on the internet! It must be true!

  13. Bellichick's problems were with the stadium WiFi. He just doesn't understand that the WiFi and the tablet are separate things.

    Ultra conservative write Ben Stein wrote this after visiting the Walmart in Idaho

    “These were enormous sallow men and women, grotesquely obese teenagers, horribly tattooed women in sun dresses at 10 p.m. These were the Jukes and the Kallikaks. Their RV’s were parked in the Walmart parking lot. Terrifying, especially in Walmart’s ultra-bright jail line-up lights”

    Now tell us again what Liberals do?

    I suppose I can take your post and extrapolate and say conservatives indulge themselves in classism by rampant over generalizing and attempting to describe what liberals do in which in reality is what they do.... AKA hypocrisy.

    So where did he generalize? He was being specific about one particular walmart. BTW I live near that walmart right now and he's fucking right. They are the biggest freaks and wierdos on Earth.

    You've become such a far left schill that you don't even realize just how stupid you sound. Being a CEO does not negate one's rights on their own time with their own money. You just don't like his stance and since you're not intelligent enough nor tolerant enough to address the topics in open civilized debate you resort to name calling, banning and censoring.

    I'm done with you. You've always been a fucking joke Bruce but now you're a parody of the open source "freedom" advocate you once were.

    It falls under participation in politics. Forcing out CEOs who publicly support policies repugnant to the organizations own membership and supporters is good politics. You have freedom of speech, but we have freedom to decline to be associated with you and your speech.

    So Mozilla is a safe space? Or is it an echo chamber? Please help me, I can't keep up with the hypocrisy.

    The classical Greek definition of "idiot" is someone who declines to take part in democratic government. It is no less so today.

    So where does forcing out a CEO who actively took part in democratic government fall?

    This Marble Monument

    He was found by the Bureau of Statistics to be
    One against whom there was no official complaint,
    And all the reports on his conduct agree
    That, in the modern sense of an old-fashioned word, he was a
          saint,
    For in everything he did he served the Greater Community.
    Except for the War till the day he retired
    He worked in a factory and never got fired,
    But satisfied his employers, Fudge Motors Inc.
    Yet he wasn’t a scab or odd in his views,
    For his Union reports that he paid his dues,
    (Our report on his Union shows it was sound)
    And our Social Psychology workers found
    That he was popular with his mates and liked a drink.
    The Press are convinced that he bought a paper every day
    And that his reactions to advertisements were normal in every way.
    Policies taken out in his name prove that he was fully insured,
    And his Health-card shows he was once in hospital but left it cured.
    Both Producers Research and High-Grade Living declare
    He was fully sensible to the advantages of the Instalment Plan
    And had everything necessary to the Modern Man,
    A phonograph, a radio, a car and a frigidaire.
    Our researchers into Public Opinion are content
    That he held the proper opinions for the time of year;
    When there was peace, he was for peace: when there was war, he went.
    He was married and added five children to the population,
    Which our Eugenist says was the right number for a parent of his
          generation.
    And our teachers report that he never interfered with their
          education.
    Was he free? Was he happy? The question is absurd:
    Had anything been wrong, we should certainly have heard.

    Android is shit. Complete and total garbage. You're either stuck with insecure software with it or stuck with Google spyware.

    iOS is at least secure but you're stuck in a walled fucking garden with Apple spying on you instead.

    Just give me something with the apps I want, without the spying and with security updates, please for the love of God.
