  1. Re:Pictures on Laptops With 128GB of RAM Are Here (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    If that's an actual pic, it has REAL buttons at the bottom of the trackpad. I'd love to know how to get them, I can't find one without the awful "buttons integrated into trackpad" design these days.

    You had flint tools? We just had to imagine the numbers in our heads.

  4. Re:This is not for /. on Trump Withdraws US From Iran Nuclear Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The rest of the world needs to recognize and appreciate that America is becoming a shithole country and move along without the US.

    Isolationist, nationalist, Islamophobic, anti-immigration, anti-refugee, intolerant of its own people, warmongering, and oligarchical, America's beacon has dimmed and she is doomed.

    In the mid-20th century and earlier, America would have been described by people like you as the above (with the possible exception of warmongering). The America that was a first-world country, the "old" America that you apparently thought was great, that wasn't a "shithole country", that was 90% white (which was EXACTLY what the founding fathers and the founding stock of America had intended). Or do you really think the Americans of, say, 1900 would have been:

    - Keen in foreign political involvement?
    - Not having national pride?
    - Wanting Muslims to immigrate into their country?
    - Wanting Mexicans to immigrate into their country?
    - Wanting large numbers of third world refugees to immigrate into their country?
    - Completely tolerant of everyone else in America?
    - Free of high-level political corruption?

    So can we just hear it from you, officially: you think America was a shithole country for its entire history with the exception of ~50 years between the 60s and now, during which the idea of America being some kind of multiculti globalist open-borders state was successfully promoted as normative?

  5. Also, British politics is extremely PC, so burkas are allowed. Which means criminals just need to dress up in a black tent and nobody can make them show their face.

    Too many engineer are wimps that cannot tell management how things really are.

    Or they gave blunt honest feedback before and got fired for not being a "team player".

    I don't think it's primarily leftists (((who))) are behind censoring speech in the West.

  9. Yes the speech must be protected but that doesn't mean that the speaker is guaranteed a platform.

    Tell me Mr. Anderson, what good is a mouth..... if you have no platform to speak?

    It's not just about stop and frisk, it's about violent crime, burglaries, etc. Why would the police be manipulating that data? We're not in a political climate for them to do so.

    It's not about population statistics, it's about the fact that blacks are on average massively more criminal than whites. Per head of population.

  12. Yep. They loved it when "the shooter was a white women" but now it will be nothing but "we don't want any backlash to the Muslim community or immigrants".

    Doesn't that lock you into streaming video from Chrome though, rather than just sending the graphics card output?

  15. Trouble is, I have exactly the opposite opinion to you. I expect it to get dark in the evenings but waking up in the dark I find really depressing.

    I'll tell you another bizarre missing feature: telling me the version of a DLL in the details window. Confusingly it gives you the file version but not the actual DLL version! I have to use ILSpy to see the real version.

    Sure, you could restore this with a plugin, but it barely requires that. If it's on your screen, you can save it.

    The original image isn't on your screen, the crappy Google thumbnail is.

    And the reason is so that it looks like a scroll indicator on a touch device, even though the PC version has an actual function with a mouse clicking and dragging it. It's so fucking obviously stupid and all because of UX fads.
