  1. Re:Have to use too many on Chrome Passes 25% Market Share, IE and Firefox Slip · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Firefox changed the cert behavior to let you into the site with a warning. Around versions 30-32 I remember not being able to get into Zenworks servers at work because the certs were self signed. I don't have that issue anymore.

  2. Re:What I need to switch back to Firefox on Chrome Passes 25% Market Share, IE and Firefox Slip · · Score: 1

    Have you tried about:memory to refresh the memory usage? I'm not sure how much use it would be, but I usually do a memory cleanup a couple times a day while I'm at work.

    For me it is the least objectionable of the four.

  4. Re:Chrome - the web browser that's added as bloatw on Chrome Passes 25% Market Share, IE and Firefox Slip · · Score: 1

    The last few versions of chrome seem to be pretty crappy. At work we have been telling people to use Firefox since Chrome has issues with dropping chat connections and slow response in sending emails. The website that teachers use for attendance and grading also has issues with chrome, but works fine in Firefox.

    agreed.

  6. Re:Terrible Then Too on The Future Deconstruction of the K-12 Teacher · · Score: 1

    You are correct Jason, the same crap is going on in Wisconsin. We've had several of these charter schools take government money, shut their doors and disappear into the night. The studies they've done show the charter school kids don't do any better than the public school kids. Certain people in government just want to privatize the schools and make a buck, they don't care about the kids.

  7. Re:Slow on World's First 1 Megawatt All-Electric Race Car · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen any of those lately. I'll check when I'm out there at the end of May.

    I find Carly Fiorina offensive.

    My Friends and I go to the motorcycle races at Road America every year, quite a good time.

  10. Re:The real question in my mind... on Musk Says Drivers May Become Obsolete, Announces Juice-Saving Upgrades · · Score: 1

    You make a good point there, especially with all the idiots I see lately that want to text and drive at the same time.

    Is it too late to make a comment about the Death Star?

    That was hilarious, do you have any other insights to share that make me double over in laughter?

    you mean the big government spend and don't tax right wingers?

  18. Re:Physical requirements are not all that tough on US Army May Relax Physical Requirements To Recruit Cyber Warriors · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing the guys in remedial PT at Fort Knox, they had to wear yellow shorts and shirts. I remember them being referred to as the "banana boys". The physical requirements of the PT tests we took could be easily achieved by most people.

  19. Re:Good luck with that on US Army May Relax Physical Requirements To Recruit Cyber Warriors · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they would do better to pay them under a civilian pay scale. The barracks I stayed in where actually pretty nice, and the food at the mess hall was for the most part pretty good.

    pay it off every month and you won't get hit with the interest charges.

  22. Re:If the libs are for it... on Conservative Groups Accuse FCC of Helping Net Neutrality Advocates File Comments · · Score: 1

    I think their general vibe is that if it isn't a corporation they don't give a damn about it. 40 billion dollars and those guys will stab the little guy in the back for one more dollar.

    I have a couple usb drives that have write protect switches, I use them to clean malware off machines at work. I haven't looked lately, but I am sure somebody still makes them.
