  1. Re:Nope on Stop Standardizing HTML · · Score: 4, Informative

    close enough standards compliance?

    please. Microsoft tries to break standards by introducing their own. Don't blame HTML for that.

  2. Re:The drivers still suck, so why bother? on AMD Radeon HD 7990 Released: Dual GPUs and 6G of Memory for $1000 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    so last you tried was 3 years ago?

    they've improved drastically, even if most linux graphic drivers are far from perfect in wine (but pretty good overall).

    plex + home nas. Since when is streaming an issue?

  4. Re:Sequestration is a gimmick on FAA On Travel Delays: Get Used To It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    both parties are at fault. It takes the entirety of congress to agree to fuck over the public, not just a single party.

  5. Re:This is a losing proposition. on Building a Small IT Consulting Business Based on Linux (Video) · · Score: 2

    I'm fairly sure you are entirely fucking insane.

    The whole Linux/OSX vs windows on gaming thing has become less and less of a gap. you apparently don't know that?

    wouldn't that simply make the situation worse?

  7. Re:hardly cause for concern on Microsoft CFO Quits · · Score: 2

    you'd be surprised how fast a company can go out of business when the decline has been going on for 5 years already.

  8. Re:Come on CEO... on Microsoft CFO Quits · · Score: 4, Insightful

    he represents the problem, and he's also responsible for the company *as* CEO. So either he fixes the problem or he is the problem.

  9. Re: Focus all you want... on Kobo CEO Says Not Selling Washing Machines Key To Overtaking Amazon · · Score: 1

    amazon has zero monitoring/takes zero actions to ensure that reviews are valid. Even yelp with it's questionable reviews is more reliable than amazon. Amazon's review system and google's are about the same in terms of reliability.

  10. Re:Bloatware on ACLU Asks FTC To Force Carriers To 'Patch Or Replace' Android Devices · · Score: 1

    "objectively superior"

    yes, from your perspective maybe. the rest of us like to install things if we want to. If you think carriers don't add bloat to apple I'd like to a: sell you this bridge I own and b: remind you of the apple facetime issue where you'd get a message saying you couldnt' do that.

    Apple one upped google: instead of google letting the carriers do whatever they want, apple instead made the carriers doing what they want into something embedded into the phone!

    eh? there's something massive here, it's called fuel for the antitrust investigation.

    you think any ISP is not in that category as far as privacy goes?

    how hilarious.

    please troll better next time.

  15. Re:Fantastic. on Microsoft Game Director Adam Orth Resigns Following Xbox Comments · · Score: 1

    As much as MS has all this hate and/or are generally thought of as a company designed to take away everything of benefit to the consumer, they aren't that blatant. I highly doubt, in fact I am certain that a great amount of the company does not want this requirement. It's obvious someone pushed for it, but that doesn't mean that it's the company view. Just old executives who need to die off/quit as they are bringing down microsoft.

    Apparently they've not learned how to hold executives accountable, clearly evidenced by Ballmer still being around years and years past his time.

  16. Re:Fantastic. on Microsoft Game Director Adam Orth Resigns Following Xbox Comments · · Score: 1

    What am I getting mixed up? The He is Orth, and MS made their own decision to not support Orth with his statements. Orth is the intellectually dishonest person.

    So, no.

    It's almost like they designed it...to work...with smartphones! /facepalm

  18. Re:Fantastic. on Microsoft Game Director Adam Orth Resigns Following Xbox Comments · · Score: 1

    This is absolutely and entirely incorrect. Nobody pushed MS to do anything, they chose to do it on their own. They could have left him with the company.

    Orth deserves no support here. He said the most intellectually dishonest things that could possibly be said. That's not defensible.

    did you read a single claim in the case? This is literally the argument made by both the EFF and the defendant. RTFA.

    Google isn't dangerous. People being asinine with computers is dangerous, as any search engine can clearly indicate.

    warrant was not legitimate, search was violation of 4th amendment.

    actually, if they went to a subscription concept they'd lose a ton of viewers and basically go out of business near instantly.

    Threats from North Korea and/or photoshopped missiles from Iran carry more substance than this.

    no organization on the planet has the ability to prevent republication of already public organization. Not if it's on the internet. There are no laws that can enforce such a concept successfully.
