  1. Re:What a shit post... on Many Nations Pin Climate Hopes On China, India As Hopes For Trump Fade (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I would dearly love to, but that would include nearly all computers, which, come to think of it, isn't such a bad idea....

  2. G'on, tell me another one

  3. Real math majors used HP-28S calculators.
    Brilliant piece of gear. Still works flawlessly nearly 30 years later. And of course, the best feature was RPN.

    So take your Ti toys away, I've got real work to do.

    (/h)

  4. On android on Verizon To Force 'AppFlash' Spyware On Android Phones · · Score: 2

    Is an app called "noroot firewall"
    You can block off specific programs from accessing the network. Pretty handy for ad blocking in appls and other things.

  5. With a non-stop stream of on Windows 10 Will Download Some Updates Even Over a Metered Connection (winsupersite.com) · · Score: 1

    "WTF are they thinking!?" style news stories surrounding Win10, I have to ask...

    Aside from gaming, is there ANYTHING Win10 does better than Win7? (and for the snark among you, I'm talking about a real advantage, not in regards to telemetry, spying, less control, etc.)

  6. Learn something new everyday on Study Suggests Potatoes Can Grow On Mars (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    that the "International Potato Center" is a real thing.

  7. Anyone else sick of the term on Dell Doubles Down On High-End Ubuntu Linux Laptops (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "double down"? It was overused during the Obama admin, and it doesn't show signs of going away, but it's getting as bad as "begging the question"

  8. Still beta software then eh?

  9. Never read when tired on Cellebrite Can Now Unlock Apple iPhone 6, 6 Plus (cyberscoop.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I mis-read that as "Cellulite" can be used to unlock the iPhone and got really confused....

  10. First Rule of IT on US Homeland Security Employees Locked Out of Computer Networks (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Always install a backdoor.

    For times like this.... ...and for "other" times, as needed.

  11. Re:The republicans will... on eBay Founder Pledges $500,000 To Test Universal Basic Income Program In Kenya (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    >>...a huge welfare system that is badly corrupted Good luck wiping out the corruption. Those most corrupt tend to be the ones in power who stand to lose the most by wiping out said corruption.

  12. If you can't win with artistic talent, win with spending talent, that's the gist I get from the summary...

  13. Re:I don't want Clippy on my phone! on Microsoft is Bringing Cortana To Android Lock Screen (mspoweruser.com) · · Score: 1

    You also know it's very easy to turn off Google Voice.
    Good luck *easily* turning off Cortana

  14. And it will never happen on Windows 10 Privacy Changes Appease Watchdogs, But Still No Data 'Off-Switch' (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Win10 was designed *from the ground up* with telemetry and spayware/malware/whathaveyou in mind.

    You will never get them to "turn it off", at best you'll get "minimal" and it will require 3rd parties to fix (if they can, closed source and all that)

    Why use it to begin with, if you have the option, use anything else, but not Win10.

  15. Re:Do you realize what dnsapi.dll is chimp? on Microsoft To Enhance User Privacy Controls In Upcoming Windows 10 Update (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Reading comprehension is not yours.
    I'm not in IT.
    And a single post saying I'm wrong, without citing why, makes *me* look dumb?

    Nice try. Thank you for playing.

  16. Re:AdBlock = inferior + 'souled-out' vs. hosts on Microsoft To Enhance User Privacy Controls In Upcoming Windows 10 Update (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't know shit about Win10, do you?
    It's *hard coded* to bypass anything in the Hosts file.
    https://www.petri.com/windows-...

    So your "ad blocker" ain't gonna work.

  17. Diminishing returns.
    Do what maximizes profits, ignore the rest.
    Considering the cash Apple has, they're on the right track.
    Note: I don't agree with said track, but the edge users don't justify the costs involved, so out they go.

    Business 101: Cash is king.
    And as long as Apple makes bucketloads of cash from their current iProducts, they will. When it stops, they will re-evaluate where they are in the world, but not before then.

  18. Re:Trump mentioned in the actual article on Ford: We're Canceling $1.6 Billion Mexico Facility, Investing In Electric and US Plant (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    And put Trump in a good light?
    There's the rub...

  20. Re:You're the one stalking/trolling by ac on Is Your Internet Connection Free From Bufferbloat? (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    You know, I'd love to use your program and do a comparison between it and a few other ones I use, but I do have a few questions.
    Rather than clutter up this forum, drop me a line, let's talk, geek to geek

    I believe that's against the Geneva Convention.

    I have 32GB of ram in my system, 64mb barely registers on the radar. Nice try, thank you for playing.

  23. Re:I'm not into going slower & being tracked on Are Psychiatric Medications Hurting More Patients Than They Help? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't buy the "slower" part. My connection to the world is very, very fast, so fast as to be almost instantaneous. So, try again.
    I think the reason you post anon is so people can't block your bullshit from every thread that you spew.

  24. Re:'Courageous' unidentifiable anonymous 'hero' on Are Psychiatric Medications Hurting More Patients Than They Help? (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    Question then, why do YOU post as an anonymous coward? Is it perhaps your flavour of insanity isn't valued around here?

  25. I can count pretty damn high, since I know basic math, my ability to count only stops when I get tired.
    So, "literally too high to count" (from the summary) is BS.
