    Not if he doesn't cut back on his cholesterol.

  2. Re:When the New York Times is whining... on EPA Announces Repeal of Major Obama-Era Carbon Emissions Rule (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    He won't die though, at least in his mind. He's thinking money will somehow let him live forever, the planet be damned.

  3. Rick was (and usually still is) trying to say a portion of our populace aren't worthy of civil rights because of his lame view of some invisible sky being. I can think of no better way to take him to task on that.

  4. Re:Vermont is an expensive place to service. on How Comcast is Shortchanging Customers In Vermont (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    Comcast bought this Vermont customer base with an OBLIGATION to expand service to those customers. How they do so is up to them, but they can't just back-out and claim freeze-peach on the whole situation.

  5. Coinhive with no alert and option to disable is bullshit anyway.

    Delusion much?

  7. Re: Not at those prices on Google Wants Its New Pixelbook to Win the Laptop and Tablet Battle (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't know about the HPs, but the low-end Acer and Lenovos can (I have one of each and they both run Linux just fine)

  8. Re:Google, we need AFFORDABLE Android phones! on Google Unveils Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL With No Headphone Jack (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Bad phone perhaps? I've haven't had either of those issues with my G5 Plus. I do get the occasional hang if I haven't rebooted the phone in a few weeks but that's about it.

  9. Re:Pipe bombs would have killed thousands. on Las Vegas Shooting Leaves at Least 50 Dead, More Than 200 Wounded (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    He's from Clark County, nary a more nutty collection of righty-liberty types in the nation.

    Hunters aren't shooting at people that are shooting back at them. Kinda fucks with the aim a bit.

  11. Re:32 bit boxes are probably suited better elsewhe on Ubuntu To Stop Offering 32-Bit ISO Images, Joining Many Other Linux Distros (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    This was the Cherry Trail series I believe, which used the GMA 3150 GPU which was basically just like the GMA 500 from Imagination Technologies and required a proprietary blob to operate. Intel never released a 64bit driver for that GPU (or they tried, it had glitches and they didn't want to continue supporting it).

  12. Re:32 bit boxes are probably suited better elsewhe on Ubuntu To Stop Offering 32-Bit ISO Images, Joining Many Other Linux Distros (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't this the point? Apparently no one wants to purchase support for Ubuntu on 32bit systems, so they're no longer doing so.

    If they had clients that requested this I suspect the support would continue to be there.

  13. Chromebooks run Linux and they're all over the place.

    By then replacement eyes with FM radios installed will be easily available.

    IIRC 3.18 was the last of the 3-series kernels tagged as LTS. My 2017 phone also uses 3.18 (3.18.31 specifically)

  16. Can't wait, it'll be an online service where they store your passwords in cleartext!

  17. Re:Maybe most popular... on Oracle Announces Java SE 9 and Java EE 8 (oracle.com) · · Score: 1

    on a related note I have to punch myself in the balls just to get it up

    I agree, if these folks can't regulate their own behavior they deserve it from an outside party.

    I've been impressed with Grav as of late. No database to worry about, all done in flat files using Markdown. Very nifty and nowhere near as insecure as Wordpress
