  1. Re:MacBook Pro on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    No problem, you do have me thinking to be more careful with the next purchase and perhaps having "a linux" preinstalled even if not distro I'm going to run.

    Yes I was speaking of how he could carry gun into pizza store in his home state. I actually don't have a problem with responsible open carry.

    I was speaking of the man's home state NC which is open carry and which theoretically one could go for pizza with a gun

  4. I don't want our young people to have funded "computer training" in school. I want them to learn reading, writing, speaking, history and critical thinking, I would support funds for that. I don't want them all to be I.T. droids in a cube farm.

  5. Putting control of schools under the states where it belongs is not "gutting".

  6. which competitor had the phone that blows the fuck up?

  7. Re:Some, not all Trump supporters on Fake News Prompts Gunman To 'Self-Investigate' Pizza Parlor (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    it's an open carry state, holster or sling up and stop by for pizza

  8. Re:Sorry. Do you not have this???? on California State Senator Introduces Bill That Would Mandate Reporting of 'Superbug' Infections, Deaths (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "superbug" is not a medical term, neither is "other nasties". The first is sensationalist journalist's term, the second came out of your ass. If the language on the bill contains the word "superbug" the senator should be intravenously fed goat shit.

    Proving that death was indeed caused by a multi-drug resistant strain is not trivial in many cases, the testing for that post-mortem would need technical standards that are not always agreed upon

    He's 63, hope the man can still get large and hard

  10. Re:Better Than Most on Millions In US Still Living Life In Internet Slow Lane (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    yes my brother in Florida lives in nice subdivision with house less than ten years old, but connects with juno dial-up for $14 a month. Compare that with my mother-in-law in Cambodia where in 1998 they were laying down fiber around her neighborhood, they went from dialup to megabits/sec overnight.

  11. Re:MacBook Pro on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    my last two toshiba satellites (and thinkpads before them) were ok, but if the newer BIOS really are a problem maybe I should just consider vendor that sells Linux-certified laptop

  12. I think (bio) butanol is viable conversion for gasoline engine that would be much better emissions wise as it has lower (but not zero) CO and NOx

    don't need to wait for so long, they can trap you in your privately owned car today in the hot sun! breaking car windows from the inside without a large hard object is very difficult by the way.

  14. Re:Freedom of Speech matters more. on EU Threatens Twitter And Facebook With Possible 'Hate Speech' Laws (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Missing the real point, if "hate speech" is illegal the government gets to define what "hate speech" is, and they can shut down *anyone* with dissenting opinion.

  15. But I want them to continue wasting money on Microsoft and other closed source wares. If BSD and Linux become too common my salary will drop, so fuck 'em.

  16. Re:As a European... on EU Threatens Twitter And Facebook With Possible 'Hate Speech' Laws (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, we had relatives that died in WW 2 and were in prison camps because they went over there to save your sorry ass.

  17. the issue with normal diesels is the emissions other than carbon, the NOx primarily. but that can be scrubbed out now

    better yet, just steal it for awhile, the torrent with all four volumes is out there. Look it through and if it's worthwhile buy it.

    Yarrrrrrr, yo ho yo h,o a pirates life for me....

  19. and if you pry your head out of Bill Gate's ass the world smells much better. Back to your games, windblows boy

  20. speak for yourself but no one else. My laptop runs Linux Mint 17.3, all devices work because it takes 5 minutes of research to find laptops that will work. I don't do games. OpenShot and gimp are good enough media apps for me, vlc for viewing. SageMath works well, it was made for Linux. Spreadsheets with LIbreOffice are fine.

  21. Re:Ok with porn or not, that was genuinely stupid on Drupal Event Apologizes For Giving Out Copies Of Playboy (drupalcamp.de) · · Score: 1

    plenty of male actors and rock stars pose for glamour shots and show off their bodies in movies and photo shoots and concerts.

    plenty of women actresses and porn actresses and models want to be evaluated based on their looks. they want to show off what they have and to be considered beautiful. they want to be a sex symbol / sex object ( and plenty of men in entertainment want exactly that too)

    it is puritanical for certain types of feminists to try to complain about this.

    Note I say certain types because there are other types that embrace the porn and glamour photography and art.

  22. Re:Ok with porn or not, that was genuinely stupid on Drupal Event Apologizes For Giving Out Copies Of Playboy (drupalcamp.de) · · Score: 1

    eh, plenty of gay men will say women look like pile of ugly bloated marshmallows and that the lumpy bumpy male figure is where it's at. And plenty of straight women will say ditto even if your mom liked the female porn.

    The particular type of feminist who whines about judging women on appearance seem to miss many woman love to show off what they have and want to have great appearance. In general, most women want to look fabulous, they spend a ton of money to do so. Face masks, lotions, hair care/trimming/removal/sculpting, makeup, cosmetic dental work, clothing to accent or alter perception of body shape, breast implants....well the list just goes on and on for usual woman.

  23. Re:MacBook Pro on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    but it's easy to find out if everything on a laptop is supported for particular open source OS, whether Linux or OpenBSD or whatever. I never have problems because the research is so easy these days.You can buy new and have it work

    that's a funny thing to say into a guy into porn from asia

  25. actually, a diesel engine can be cleaner than gasoline engine with the correct tech. Definitely to be preferred in that case though there are cleaner hydrocarbon alternatives. Of course, electric vehicles powered by properly designed coal plant is even better
