  1. Yeah, I don't do Windows 10. Never will.

  2. Re:100% of Microsoft Vulnerabilities on 94% of Microsoft Vulnerabilities Can Be Mitigated By Turning Off Admin Rights (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    You stole my line. Almost word for word! Nice!

  3. LOL! Jokes on them.... on Your Personal Facebook Live Videos Can Legally End Up on TV (thememo.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not on Facebook! Screw that!

  4. I changed my email address a few years back and never updated my Yahoo account so I'm good. I don't use web based email anyway.

  5. LOL! Jokes on them, I'm not on Facebook!

  6. Well Tim Cook is trying to kill off Macs. This idiot needs to be fired. I wouldn't be surprised if they sell off the Mac division. They don't give to fecal lumps about Macs anymore.

  7. Screw Windows. on CNET Editor Rails Against Non-Consensual Windows Updates (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    My main machines have been Linux for years. I do have one Win 8.1 machine for TurboTax but that's all. I've been running Linux Mint for the past 6 years. Before that Suse. I'll NEVER get a Windows 10 machine ever. Windows is such a PITA it's not even funny.

  8. Hey Microsuck, Windows 10 doesn't meet MY security needs/concerns. It will never see the inside of my house.

  9. Re: battery life a braindead argument on Apple To Offer 32GB of Desktop RAM, Kaby Lake In Top-End 2017 MacBook Pro, Says Analyst (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I did the same thing for 2 years! Then I tossed Windows off my HO laptop and installed Mint on it. Tim Cook sucks. They need to fire his "In the pipeline" butt.

  10. Re: Don't upgrade your hardware, and... on Apple's Share of PC Users Drops To A Five-Year Low (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm running Mint 17.0 on a 6 year old HP and it works GREAT! Apple needs to fire Cook. Like RIGHT NOW. They are no longer a computer company, just a phone company that caters to idiots that need a new, overpriced cellphone every year. Meanwhile I still use a flip phone!

  11. ARRL.org

  12. Windows? HAH! on Post-Beta Windows 7 Build Leaked With New IE8 · · Score: 1

    Who cares? It's Windows. Screw it. Never again. 10+ Windows free and LOVING IT!

    In other words, they are F'd......

  14. Re:WTF? on How Apple Could Survive Without Steve Jobs · · Score: 1

    Well, most people die from that shit. Unfortunately. A few survive but not many. Even after BILLIONS have been pumped into finding a cure. But there's no money to be made in cures.....

  15. Print news is shot.... on Are Newspapers Doomed? · · Score: 1

    For the majority yes. I stopped buying 2 papers many months ago. One up'd it's priced to .75 and is as thin as an onion skin 6 days a week, the other (The NY Daily News) is 80% ads and went to .75. I used to LOVE reading newspapers.

  16. Meteorites do NOT land hot. on Meteorite Destroys Warehouse In Auckland, NZ · · Score: 5, Informative

    Meteorites cool off way before hitting the ground. They cool off during what is known as "Dark Flight". No meteorite lands hot. Period. Now maybe it struck something which then exploded but I highly doubt this story.

  17. LOL! on Internet Explorer 8 Delayed Until 2009 · · Score: 1

    ROTFLMAO! No one cares!

  18. LOL! on Ubuntu 8.10 Outperforms Windows Vista · · Score: 2, Funny

    Hell a C128 is better than Vista! "Vista, how hard do YOU want to suck today?"

  19. There's probably a LOT of life out there.... on Number of ET Civilizations In Our Galaxy Is 37,964 · · Score: 1

    It's a given (IMHO) that there is other life out there in this galaxy, never mind the rest of the universe. It could be single celled, multiple celled, animals, plant or some other creature but there IS other life out there. We are not that special in the great scheme of things. I also don't believe it will look like anything fantasized by the UFO believer crowd. The "common" "grey" drawn by people is bogus IMHO. Most likely ET will look NOTHING like man. IMHO of coarse.

  21. The cycle length can vary... on The Quietest Sun · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The cycle's AVERAGE is 11 years. It could go longer or shorter. This is not a big deal. I believe one past cycle (IIRC) lasted 13 years. Give it a few months. It'll start kicking in.
