  1. I don't know why these dolts didn't just use USB. Oh, right. They're liberal arts grads.

  2. Of course, it's also editable.

    Great. Now all I'm going to think about for the rest of the day is bacon-wrapped donuts.

  4. And last thing I want to hear about: "enterprise-focused social network"

  5. Really? They managed to migrate from AOL?

    Yeah. Hell, the ONLY reason these things are even making the news is because there is a/v evidence that it happened. But these things didn't just start happening now that portable video cameras are everywhere. They've been happening ALL ALONG, and the police have just been lying about it.

    Actually, you can install apps on your iPhone, without needing Apple to vet/sign the app, or pay extra to Apple, or jailbreak your iPhone to do it.

    Just something to keep you busy on Wednesday morning while your computer is reinstalling Windows.

    Exactly.

    The couple is free to run a tor exit node, as long as they can prevent child porn from being uploaded or downloaded through it. Including within encrypted streams.

  11. Re:FF49, still a pig on Firefox 49 Arrives With Improvements (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    For me, on MacOS X 10.10.5, FF 48.0.2 is using about 4.75 Gb of VM space, which is around where it sits most of the time (starts lower, then slowly creeps up, I normally have a whole bunch of tabs/windows open). But every once in awhile, FF will decide to start eating memory, until the computer runs out of virtual memory. It gets up to about 50-60Gb, and FF is completely unresponsive, and I have to force-quit the app. Wait a minute for the computer to reclaim the VM space (and reduce the size of the VM file), then relaunch FF and all is well again. Sometimes happens 1/2 after launching FF, sometimes after several weeks. And it's happened for a couple of years worth of versions.

    He did Jack for a number of years, but now it's time to move on to fresh meat?

  13. And you definitely do not want anyone to use the backdoor Microsoft will leave in "just in case".

    Unfortunately, the US gov't now considers and treats the American people as "the enemy".

    Better not have this happen if you are black. A cop would shoot you because he could clearly see there was a gun in your pants.

    "isn't selling like it should"? now there's a signpost you can never pass.

    especially when Apple went from 0 to the #2 watch seller in the world in 1.5 years.

    Good thing our entire tax system is pretty much entirely based on 'incentives' to get people to do the "right thing".

  22. Well, now that the "don't be evil" thing has been removed from their corporate code, they are really going full Microsoft.

  23. What did you learn? That Microsoft has no idea how to do UI? Where have you been for the past 25 years?

    Or just specifically how MS fucked up Window 10 for Phone. Or is it Windows Phone 10? Have they finally joined phone/tablet/computer to all use the same marketing name yet? They should have stuck with WinCE, because that name truly labelled their OS accurately. wince. it's what Windows makes you do.

    I can tell you want the doctor will say:

    Don't do anything with that arm/shoulder for a week, come back and then we'll see how it is. Oh, you have to use both arms for your work. Can you take the week off?

    Unfortunately, "how can I help you" is followed by, "come back in a week" so the doctor can bill a second visit to the province.
