  1. Re:Protected speech on Newspaper Obtains James Damore's Complaint Against Google (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's put it this way - a very left wing employee of a very right wing company gets fired for advocating her views at the company. Do you still think the company is ok to violate free speech?>

    There is nothing in the constitution that says you have a right to a particular job.

    Anything that old should just use Linux.

    Suit yourself, I'd be happy with better GPU support.

  4. What hostess is telling you to turn your iPad's wifi off? Why are you playing with your iPad at a restaurant?

    I'm not talking about roaming from a billing perspective I'm talking about being able to make calls on other networks.

    Cheap prepaid services like Cricket and Virgin are fine in urban areas but they don't offer any roaming at all. When I drove from Tacoma to Detroit with Virgin I went days without service.

  7. Re:Use less tabs on Safari Should Display Favicons in Its Tabs (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    Fewer, not less

    The user should be able to open as many tabs as his or her machine can handle, anything else is just shitty design. A desktop completely full of icons looks like a huge mess to me but if there was some arbitrary limit to how many I could have regardless of my screen size that'd be shitty design too.

  8. Why do submissions like this get approved? Typing isn't going away because some poor guy in India is whispering to a cheap phone.

  9. Re:Maybe, just maybe... on Ask Slashdot: Are My Drone Apps Phoning Home? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apple makes sure that every app available to me is a good and wholesome app, no problems with Apple apps. Google allows bad apps, Google is bad.

  10. There are an incredible number of fake marketplace listings, I guess they're just evening the playing field.

    Way to be smug while simultaneously broadcasting your cluelessness. When a dumbphone is "off" it still has constant power drain because it still has hardware that is powered. How do you think the phone knows what magic button will power it on? Try powering your phone down and pressing the power button very briefly rather than holding it longer. See that cute little battery graphic with the color filling indicating percentage charge? That's because your phone never powers down completely unless you remove the battery.

    You will do your best to help her, you might do a couple google searches before you come to a solution. Nothing new here.

    Batteries in those can last for six months or more, where as a "modern" smartphone won't even last for a couple days when turned "off".

    The battery in a normal phone self discharges the same as the battery in a dumbphone. The lion cells don't know what kind of device they're in.

  15. Bullshit on Former Oculus Exec Predicts Telepathy Within 10 Years (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Working at a place that puts screens on people's heads doesn't give you any special insight into telepathy.

    Releasing Office for Linux would certainly make them money but it would remove one of the biggest obstacles for companies switching to Linux so I can't see them doing it.

    The current, human delivery is going to cost more in the future you fucking idiot. Today it is free, but it won't always be that way.

    Some things cost more or less today than they did in the past. You already understand this concept, you just aren't applying it to this subject because you're dumb.
