    I mean, have build ASP.NET > R > .xlsx monstrosities in that past, that count?

    Well most of the people who watch those vids are indeed too retarded to be helped. Still, maybe somewhere there's a kid who doesnt know any better, and these messages will save them the time of having to look stuff up and find out the the video is for retards.

    Rockin 6gb in my pocket since iPod was just a twinkle in Steve Job's eyes.

    does paste really cost that much for them to skimp on it with these? just dont understand the motivation on why they'd do that. last longer?

  8. I mean to be fair, in grade school we learned about the guy who stole the power loom tech from England as an American hero.

  9. Re:Useless article, half baked.. on The Parts of America Most Susceptible To Automation (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, in all probability the automation revolution when it arrives in full force will completely upend the basic structure of our society. If not in 10 years then in 20 years or 100 years, makes no difference in the end. No one has any idea what this will ultimately mean or how to deal with it beyond vague guesses. Brings up fundamental questions about [deep stuff] that have never even made sense to ask before.

    That or climate change/endless human stupidity stops progress before we get there and bring us back to stone age. Or possibly the great spiritual awakening occurs and we all learn to live in peace and harmony with nature. :D

  10. Re:frivolous features = unnecessary bugs on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Explain 'Don't Improve My Software Syndrome' Or DIMSS? · · Score: 1

    Eh, ya Gnome went of the rails but I'll take most of the Firefox UI changes that resulted in less wasted space. The removed features without replacement I'm less enthusiastic about.

    Basically, we all went from "desktop that I'm perfectly happy with and works how I want" to "here try this paradigm shift" and it sucked until Cinnamon/MATE came along.

    Gnome 3 changes may have been out of their control but didnt fix that fact that our shit was broken.

    didn't help anything thats for damn sure, i appreciate they needed revenue, but avoiding that kind of crap is basically why we use linux.

    he's more or less divested now right? still i can't see how this crap will add enough to the bottom line to compensate for the negative goodwill, all that 'new microsoft' crap out the window. is spying and nagging users really that lucrative to send everyone that has a choice running for the hills? be slightly less of an asshole and they'd have a great product, and i'd be the first one telling everbody to use it. oh well.

    no im not going to develop for any microsoft platform, host on azure, or bother testing my sites in edge unless specifically asked.
