    Useful for many things, not just emacs. Are they trying to drive away tech people?

  2. Re: How is everyone supposed to use Emacs? on It Looks Like Apple is Killing the Physical Esc and Power Keys On New MacBook Pro · · Score: 1

    So now we need 2 keys to escape instead of one? Just like we need multiple key mashes just to get a screenshot instead of one? This isn't efficiency, this is some prissy designer making keyboard into their notion of "pretty". To hell with that kind of human rubbish

  3. rather than building expensive attempts at an idiot-proofed infrastructure (futile, I've seen bean counter idiots mess up dedicated air gapped dumb terminal finance systems), be cheaper to just not hire them.

  4. no need for something so crude, this is something that hotspot only need have, the system targeted need do nothing

  5. false, not true they would need to be paired. Reception would have higher gain in area targeted by wifi hotspot using such antenna, and gain while transmitting to that area

  6. maybe not allowed. I heard theoretical talk of these things called "high gain directional antenna" but maybe that's a myth

  7. shocking news: those with desk jobs nowadays actually need a minimum level of tech knowledge to not do incredibly stupid things

    who knows, maybe someday people who hold such jobs will actually have to prove a minimum level of desktop computer skills, to keep dumb-asses such as Podesta off company machines. Those of us in IT could then focus on important projects instead of wiping the ass of lusers

  8. as long as they're over where the foreigner darkies live, will anyone here care?

    deafness can be dangerous when operating a vehicle, I want a driver that can hear, hearing should be a requirement. we don't let the blind drive either, boo hoo.

  12. Andy Stem should be unemployed and starving with that stupid pronouncement. Like all of us are starving since computer automation has done away with our office jobs....HA!

    Just wait till we put everything on the net with the little rice-grain sized chips that are coming out, IT infrastructure will have to grow by a factor of 100.

    look at all the immature manlettes around here, hardly a surprise

    there are more important data for the nation than games on the internet, it is of little import compared to those things. it properly should be of lower priority.

    Siri makes mistakes because of ambiguities in the English language, unacceptable for a programming language.

  22. eh, that's a tiny misdeed by Oracle compared to their big crimes.

    Auditors storming a company, demanding their black box audit scanning code be run with access to all networks, claiming any virtual hosting platform in any location of the company might be used to run Oracle DBMS so must pay the license fees for all of them (or else buy Oracle hardware at somewhat less an amount of extortion).....

    They've become a bunch of mafia thugs in the "protection money" racket. =Avoid doing business with Oracle, or take the effort to get off their DBMS onto an alternative or they will fuck you over.
