  1. Re:Duh on Former Mozilla CTO: 'Chrome Won' (andreasgal.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This. I ditched Firefox for SeaMonkey and PM when they fucked up the interface. Chrome didn't win, they shot their users in the face.

  2. And how many nuclear accidents of significance have they had? It's retarded. You get rid of infra that's already in place and working perfectly well, waste a shit ton of money on less-reliable (at best) renewables, and all because of Green party doctrine.

  3. Re:Proof on Switzerland Votes To Abandon Nuclear Power In Favor of Renewables (bbc.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Per GWh, even with crazy high safety requirements, nuclear costs about as much as solar. It aint cheap, but you greenies are proposing...... solar. And wind, which can be (a bit) less or (a bit) more expensive per GWh, but takes up 1000 times the space and fluctuates like hell.

    And arguably, nuclear could be cheapened a bit if the greenies dropped their unnecessary opposition and NIMBYs were ignored.

  4. As a rule, no, they don't.

  5. Proof on Switzerland Votes To Abandon Nuclear Power In Favor of Renewables (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Proof that democracy doesn't always work. People are morons. There are no "greener sources" than nuclear if you want a decent electricity grid with a reliable base load. All that will happen is what's happened elsewhere - wind, solar, and coal/gas to cover the inevitable large shortfalls as they fluctuate like hell (not to mention their massively lower energy density).

  6. lol.

  7. It would help if their chair candidates didn't tend to exhibit such shocking anti-white racism in their desperate attempts to brown-nose minorities. What do they expect whites to think exactly?

  8. everything the far-right media pushes.

    How's the weather over there in Bizarro World?

    Geniuses on XDA took care of that a long time ago and i'm pretty sure they'll do it again!

    Do you have a link to that? I came across this problem a while back and XDA had nothing. I'm not even sure how the app detects that the phone is rooted.

  10. Re:Not a PM Candidate on British PM Candidate Promises Social Media Crackdown (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    We basically do. If you help the Conservative candidate get in, you're helping Theresa May become PM.

  11. Talking of which am I missing something? That link above had a fix for Windows XP and Windows 8, but not Windows 7. What gives?

  12. "To be clear, this is impressive even by Germany's progressive standards."

    No it isn't. It just shows their ongoing idiocy re: nuclear power. They could've reduced carbon (and other) emissions to zero by now if they'd increased nuclear output.

  13. Re:Neowin: The PRo MS anti slashdot admits on Neowin: Microsoft's Windows Phone Business 'Is Dead' (neowin.net) · · Score: 2

    And the irony is, they completely fucked over their PC GUI just to try and unify it with this mobile shit, and now the whole reason for it is basically gone. OK there's still tablets but they're nowhere near a big enough market to justify butchering the Win7 interface. Windows 10 could've been so much better.

  14. Re:Children and bathwaters on Advertisers Are Still Boycotting YouTube Over Offensive Videos (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, what bullshit to think that an ad appearing immediately before a video might get associated with a video.

    Yes, frankly, what bullshit.

    Unless an ad is an explicit tie-in with the video content, I am not going to assume that the advertiser gives any endorsement (or rejection) of the content. Why would I?

  15. And I predict the solution will be... on IT Leaders Will Struggle To Meet Future Demands, Study Says (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    Import India. Don't train up the natives in the UK, why would you do that? California is so great now that it's Indian, so let's do it in the UK too!

  16. I will never accept a 3 month expiration. Never. I manually renew my certs and I am not putting some shitty software on my box to do it. Let's Encrypt can fuck off with their short expiries, I'd rather go with COMODO.

  17. That's how the US got to the moon! That's how we invented velcro! With a "no can do" attitude. Keep going, man.

    Religious persecution is being ramped up in the US at the moment with Trumps hate against Muslims.

    Muslims' ideology is despicable. Do you have a problem with hate against Nazis?

    Haha.

    Wait, what's the joke?

  20. For some reason (probably because it is handy for web programming and has powerful regexps), Perl was my first serious programming language.

    Erm, you're assuming that he wouldn't have been extradited to the US before getting to Sweden, which was always his issue. Not dodging Swedish "justice".

    Gotta pay those sports stars obscene amounts of money. Otherwise they would... erm... stop playing and work at McD's?
