  1. Given their past security issues, Windows 10 might be insecure. It's all relative.

  2. Are the Iridium sats still up there and working?

  3. I found links to debunking sites in the Suggested links of a post. Those were very helpful.

  4. Re:Hillary is equally bad on Donald Trump Won Because of Facebook (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    If all of the Gary Johnson voters went for Hillary in Florida and Pennsylvania, then she would have won.

    It's hardly likely that Johnson voters would have voted for Clinton.

    SAID NO ONE EVER

  6. Coworker flatus can be a major distraction.

  7. Look at all the ethanol we can make! on Global CO2 Concentration Passes Threshold of 400 ppm -- and That's Bad for the Climate (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't we just use that new technology to turn it into ethanol?

  8. I enjoy the European TV shows they carry.

  9. Re:That's, for better or worse, for a court to dec on Samsung Forced YouTube To Pull GTA 5 Mod Video Because It Showed Galaxy Note 7 As Bomb (redmondpie.com) · · Score: 1

    I understood that Disney was one motivator behind the extension of copyright, otherwise the mouse would now be in the public domain.

    They could wear tinfoil hats.

  12. Awaiting Galaxy 8 on Samsung Permanently Discontinues Galaxy Note 7 (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    They'll just make a permanent fix for the problem and issue a new version of the phone. It's not like they don't know how to make phones that won't catch fire.

  13. Nice to see lawyers willing to commit fraud. I hope they get caught

  14. Mageia 6 on Fedora 25 Beta Released With GNOME 3.22 and Linux Kernel 4.8.1 · · Score: 1

    Mageia 6 already offers GNOME 3.22 desktop environment, kernel 4.8.1 and most of the others, so this is not really news. While it's the final release candidate for Mageia 6, It's very stable as-is.

  15. Loyal Democrats are urged to not read them and deny their authenticity to Republicans.

    "Trust me, I wasn't doing anything wrong."

  17. Free Speech on VR Devs Pull Support For Oculus Rift Until Palmer Luckey Steps Down (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is free speech working the way it should work.

    Or camouflage some nuclear missiles?

  19. Because . . . on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't Techies Improving The World? · · Score: 1

    They are not in charge.

  20. KDE was overkill on Ask Slashdot: Is KDE Dying? · · Score: 1

    For me, KDE was too feature rich with more sizzle than steak. I gave it up when KDE 3 was launched and moved to Icewm, then to LXDE, and now using LXQT.

  21. GOP Vice Presidential Checklist for Mike Pence on Donald Trump To Announce Mike Pence As Vice-Presidential Running Mate (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Close.

    Microsoft has implemented a Linux shim that translates all the native Linux system calls into the corresponding native Windows call and back.

    Demo of running native Linux ELFs on Windows

    Think of it as the reverse of WINE -- I dub it CHEESE. :-)

    Just so I'm clear, Does LINUX run in MS Windows or is it just Ubuntu that runs?

  23. I've almost abandoned Firefox on Firefox Tops Microsoft Browser Market Share For First Time (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    While I have been a big proponent of Firefox in the past, I've begun to abandon it for Google-Chrome,

    Since FF continues to chase G-C for features and seems to be more like G-C every release, why not use G-C?

    It's faster and I can get my most-used extensions there and FF is dropping support for my favorite FF extensions.
