  1. Notice the crowd was all men. The women were busy actually doing real work. Here is a tip idiots: you can pay a worker a tenth of that to deliver your stupid mail.

    You replaced your son with an Android? Kind of harsh, dude.

    Thoughts and prayers to those affected.

    Exactly. I have no love for Google, but this is a terrible event for those involved.

    You sound very self-centered. You miss his point: we all stand on the back of others. You would be better off sharing and getting more in return, rather than nickel and diming people.

    Exactly. We create and share because we like it and get so much more in return. We all win.

  7. That is because Moore's Law has been dead for sometime now, because physics. Digital computing is reaching a dead end now. Apple is smart to start creating their new chips because Intel has hit a ceiling with nowhere to go.

  8. "These photos and records typically get archived by search engines or third-party providers in perpetuity."

    You just answered why data-retention length laws wouldn't work. Hackers are included as "third-party" too. The only safe data collection is no data collection.

  9. What are you going to do when EVERY shop does it (hint: they all do already)? The stupidity here is incredible.

  10. Uh, this wouldn't be "voluntary". The idea is that the law would PREVENT the collection of data in the first place! A law. Get it? Wow, unbelievable.

    We have SpaceX. They are going to take us all to Mars soon.

  12. We are talking about the Dow, not NASDAQ. You would have to be a maniac to buy Tesla at this point. You know what their P/E ratio is? It doesn't exist, because there is no E. Insanity.

    What does gross profit have to do with paying off bonds? With a net income of negative billions I think I will pass. The fact that executives are selling and the head of sales just left should be a sign.

  14. Exactly. And Chrome.

  15. MacOSX is a closed source OS. You are confused. You are probably thinking of a kernel (or not thinking at all)

  16. The Dow declined 1.9%. TSLA was down 5.13%. Pretty sure that is 270% worse. TSLA is an insane investment. Way too much risk.

  17. It isn't possible on Ask Slashdot: Should CPU, GPU Name-Numbering Indicate Real World Performance? · · Score: 1

    It isn't possible. Microsoft tried this with the "Windows Experience Index". It failed. dryriver asks the best questions though.

  18. The source is contained on the laptop itself. There is no magic here, it is Debian with carefully chosen hardware to avoid binary blobs.

    What legal framework were you expecting? There isn't one. People have been warning you about closed source software for decades. When are you going to start listening? It is almost too late.

  21. Freaking out? on Chrome Is Scanning Files on Your Computer, and People Are Freaking Out (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Why are people freaking out? You let Google run whatever software they want on your computer. They might be reading all your files and sending them to their servers. How would you know? If you care, why would you run Chrome? What a mess this industry is in now. People should have listened to Stallman. Instead we have "open source" Chrome and Android.

  22. And the corporations prefer that too. Good job!

  23. Yep! Nothing but crickets...derp.

  24. Re:Why do you continue making this erroneous claim on Interviews: Ask a Question To Christine Peterson, the Nanotech Expert Who Coined the Term 'Open Source' · · Score: 0

    We are on the same page here. I am completely against the idea of Open Source, and support Free Software. It is the meaninglessness of the term "Open Source" that has got us into this complete mess we are in today. Computing has regressed. It used to be about empowerment of the individual. Open Source is just a meaningless marketing term. We should have been fighting to Free Software all along. Too bad OSI has obfuscated what is important.

  25. OK, you caught me out. We are directing a drone to your location...please stand by.
