  1. Re: Reminds me of an old TV show on Intel Has a New Spectre and Meltdown Firmware Patch For You To Try Out (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ya gotta admit, AMD had much cooler names for their CPUs than Intel did.

    I should have seen this joke coming, but never the less.... You owe me a new keyboard.

  3. Not quite. You can still buy a $10 pair of headphones, you just can't use them easily with your iPhone

  4. Re:That 0.02 TB made the difference. on Samsung Starts Mass Producing an SSD With Monstrous 30.72TB Capacity (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    MFM. ST-251, instead of the stock ST-225.

  5. "after some amount of time push a 'bricking' update out to the older vulnerable Switch versions to disable them"

    That would be quite illegal and definitely actionable in court. Intentional destruction of property.

    Unless your corporation's name is Sony.

    Rootkit (made it impossible to access CD-R)
    PS-3 Firmware Update (you can't boot linux any more)

  6. I remember when someone found a way to put Linux on a Playstation

    You mean the US Air Force? https://phys.org/news/2010-12-air-playstation-3s-supercomputer.html

    Meh. My first hard drive was 40MB -- special order, the machine's stock drive was 20MB.

    So it's 500 times my first hard drive.

    Borders used the Kobo.

    Their real issue was that they never embraced online. In fact,their website was originally done through Target.

  10. "Dammit, Pai! Why did you put that note into the order? What the hell do you think we're paying you for?"

  13. Please stop using that word. on Facebook Must Stop Tracking Belgian Users, Court Rules (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Belgium's data-protection regulators have targeted the company since at least 2015 when a court ordered it to stop storing non-users' personal data.

    Since this is not a serious screenplay, please do not use the B-word on Slashdot!

    The next thing you know, you'll be inviting Krikkitmen here!

  14. Re:Do it or.... on Facebook Must Stop Tracking Belgian Users, Court Rules (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 2

    Yes, but given that non-members have NOT agreed to the T&C, what legal right does FB have to track them?

    Dear "Patent Trolls",

    We have determined that your claim is invalid, due to your failure to raise your pinkie to your mouth when requesting "1 MILLION DOLLARS".

  18. Re:Why are Linux users so against IDEs? on The Most Popular Linux Desktop Programs (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Because vim:

    1. Runs natively on linux
    2. doesn't require a net connection (if you're using Visual Studio Online, which I understand is the only way to use it on Linux)
    3. Isn't a fucking resource pig

    Does synaptic run under KDE? Or does it have to drag in a full gig or so of dependencies?

    Back in the early '80s, I learned ed because that was the one editor guaranteed to be on EVERY F***ING UNIX BOX, even if it was one of the oddball x86 clones.

    Similarly for DOS, I learned EDLIN (this was pre DOS 5 and EDIT) for the same reason.
