  1. Re:Top Tweets vs. Latest Tweets on Is It Time To Rethink the Fundamental Dynamics of Twitter? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You have a far greater tolerance than I. I drop any platform that subverts my choices on the second time. (The first time I assume is my screw up.)

  2. Define "thought vectors". In detail.

    Why is physics itself a set of laws that are conscious, aware, and curious?

    A pretty huge chunk of anthropomorphism there. Mind providing a modicum of proof?

  3. Instead - read a scifi. There at least there you will get a storyline to keep you entertained. So many goddamn times theo physicists are just taking already written scifi ideas and "wrapping" them in fantasy math concepts with exotic words defined by themselves then writing papers as if they had the ideas.

  4. How many think an AC virtue signalling a donation will actually make it?

  5. Re:gig economy is there but on Why Hasn't The Gig Economy Killed Traditional Work? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Contracted. Bought a house while contracting. Built a house while contracting. No problem at all with banks loaning me money either time. Must be location.

  6. It's not the game, it's the parents. on 'Fortnite' May be a Virtual Game, But It's Having Real-life, Dangerous Effects (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    My grandson plays and loves Fortnite. His parents don't let him play long per session and when it's time to do other things (eat, sleep, go somewhere), he simply tells his friends he's gotta go and logs off.

    It's called discipline. More parents should look into it.

  7. Re:A memorable screenshare incident on The Dangers of Sharing Your Screen With Co-Workers (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 2

    So... mission accomplished?

  8. Re:Times have Changed on The Dangers of Sharing Your Screen With Co-Workers (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Never in 35+ years working have I seen that.

  9. Re:Many other ways on The Dangers of Sharing Your Screen With Co-Workers (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Total segregation is easy. Simply don't do personal things on a work-connected device.

  10. What one properly does is segregate the personal and working information onto separate machines.

  11. Friggin' der... on The Dangers of Sharing Your Screen With Co-Workers (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The only surefire way to avoid this is to do as the lawyers recommend and keep your personal things on your personal devices and your work things on you work computer.

    The company machine is theirs and isn't for your personal use, as so many people argue here. If you're self-employed, you're an idiot of you don't have two machines.

  12. Re:Clean up your own shit on Mark Zuckerberg Wants The Government To Help Police Internet Content (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That may not be his actual name, but that moniker can be examined and seen whether the views espoused are consistent. ACs on the other hand can argue both sides of an issue just to stir up shit and no one would know.

    Feel free to examine my posting history to see if this is consistent with my previous posts.

  13. Yeah, no. I was in the business in 1990. What you described in your last paragraph simply is not true.

  14. Re: Because... on Apple Unveils $9.99 News Subscription Service Dubbed Apple News+ (variety.com) · · Score: 0

    Thank you for a nice demonstration of just *who* would be culling and prepping the news Apple will be distributing.

  15. Kill him with a damn blowtorch. on Microsoft Revived and Killed Clippy in a Single Day (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Melt him into a slug of metal and use that to make something useful.

  16. Ignore it. Just like BMI, which has nothing to do with being fat.

  17. Re:You can skip the eggs, if you want. on Three or More Eggs a Week Increase Your Risk of Heart Disease and Early Death, Study Says (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Everything else in eggs you can easily get from (IMO) healthier and tastier sources.

    Corrected that for you.

  18. What? on Why Robo-Calls Can't Be Stopped (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    And lose a source of amusement? I've had the callers crying, screaming, cussing and generally butt-hurt. I mock them with their accent regardless of what it is and insult them in kind. Why in hell do I want to remove that catharsis?

  19. Re:Just like with "AMP" pages. on Chrome's Lite Pages Speed Up HTTPS Webpages on Slow Connections (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh gods yes. Never trust *anything* Google does for your "benefit".

  20. Re:JavaScript is the bane of the entire universe! on Chrome's Lite Pages Speed Up HTTPS Webpages on Slow Connections (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Your subject line is bullshit, as your post points out. It's bad programmers. Why that's insightful is most likely due to JS haters and not logic. Don't for a second think any other web language can't be abused in the same way.

  21. Re: No one wants Windows 10. on Microsoft Will Now Pester Windows 7 Users To Upgrade To Windows 10 With Pop-ups (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Why will Win 7 be dead soon? If you don't do any updates to it, it will continue running as is. Now, some new software may not support it but all your current software will continue to do so.

  22. Re:No one wants Windows 10. on Microsoft Will Now Pester Windows 7 Users To Upgrade To Windows 10 With Pop-ups (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure why the USB driver comment. I have Win 7 and it handles USBs with no problem.

  23. Like I said on the free Win7 update promise. on Microsoft Will Now Pester Windows 7 Users To Upgrade To Windows 10 With Pop-ups (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Suddenly you will find yourself on a Windows 10 machine.

    Boomer here, you're talking out your ass.

  25. And then you suddenly find yourself on a Windows 10 system.
