  1. More specifically, they think it's a bunch of crap on 'App Truthers' Question the Accuracy of the Domino's Pizza Tracker (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    "More specifically, they think it's a bunch of crap."

    "They" are correct. Why do "they" keep eating it, then?

  2. Re:Another spoiled citizen. on Drone Pilot Arrested After Flying Over Two Stadiums, Dropping Leaflets (cbslocal.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Fuck you for adding to this bullshit "the media is lying" narrative. Fuck you hard. You're pointing at exceptions and saying they're the rule, which is patently false. Fuck you.

  3. Then there'll be an industry standard (or a few) for evaluating battery quality. Bye bye transmission ratios, compression ratios, and hello battery robustness and battery strength.

  4. Let's not forget that ICE vehicles cause massive illness and death due to pollution. I would imagine that unnecessary human deaths probably add up to a bit more than a few pennies at the pump.

    "Get out" how, exactly? Who will pay $10,000 US for a bitcoin?

  6. No SEC on Nasdaq Plans To Offer Bitcoin Futures In Early 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Like most of the other federal agencies, the Orange Asshole has managed to gut the SEC. If we had a functioning SEC, this would be illegal.

    You're wrong. You should read some more. Superfetch is pretty cool. You just have to let it index, initially.

  8. Re:Future of Windows 10 is iOS and Android on Microsoft Sees the Future of Windows 10 as Sets, Ditching Windows For a Tabbed App Interface (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    With Windows 10 relegated to business and engineering-only roles.

    Leaving iOS and Android with people who play games and watch videos on their devices? Is that a bad thing?

  9. Re:Why? on Microsoft Office Now Available On All Chromebooks (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft and Google have the same views on privacy which is "privacy is dead".

    That's not true. You don't need a Microsoft ID to use Windows Phone 10 or MS Office.

    Because you care about privacy, maybe?

    Humans aren't ready for the Internet. That's the big problem.

  13. Re: Liability is separated from ownership on Ask Slashdot: How Are So Many Security Vulnerabilities Possible? · · Score: 1

    A sole proprietor in the US is liable for what they do. Small businesses are liable.

    Once you issue stock, everything changes. The public corporation could knowingly kill and maim hundreds of customers, but nothing will happen to the owners of the company.

    If, say, a dentist knowingly killed 124 and maimed 274 people, that dentist would go to jail, and his/her assets would be taken and wages would be garnished for the rest of his/her life.

  14. Liability is separated from ownership on Ask Slashdot: How Are So Many Security Vulnerabilities Possible? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The root is that our corporate laws allow liability (for defective products, in this case) to be completely separated from ownership (stockholders). US companies can fuck customers up the ass with barbed wire, and nothing happens to anybody within the company management or ownership as a result.

    it defies my logic, it boggles my mind

    I said and keep saying the same thing about Trump. The explanation is the same: people are, by and large, really really dumb.

    If you're in the USA better to skip the whole grains altogether except as occassional treat, monsanto and company's franken-wheat causes many digestive disorders and elevated blood sugar levels.

    That's complete bullshit. There's zero science behind that.

    You're absolutely right. It's with any tool that a business uses: you have to weight cost, practicality, risk, etc.

    I think Microsoft software is really very reasonably priced. We spend about as much on our Microsoft licenses every year that we spend on trash removal. It's a lot, but it's not that much, considering what we do with it.

    The amount of money that a company has is no indication of the quality of product they make.

    Lots of tedious number crunching doesn't lend itself to a web browser. It's a shitty interface for somebody who has to get a lot of work done. It's horribly impractical. You've obviously never done any bookeeping or accounting. You don't know what you're talking about.

    In my experience, successful businesses rarely have incompetent IT departments. Computers are pretty integral to most modern businesses. We generally don't have technical problems, FWIW.

    Writing emails, scheduling, and task tracking are all important, but they're not the core of our business. We also use Microsoft software for our mission critical software.

  21. That article describes interfaces for the public using web applications. If you can't figure out what's a button and what isn't in Windows, you've got some other issues going on that aren't related to "flat design".

  22. It's hard to see how to get work done with all those annoying tiles moving around and vying for your attention and the flat white UI with thin borders which cause eye strain

    It must be hard being so delicate.

  23. People do lots of different jobs than what you do. People with jobs different than what you do frequently need different software to do their jobs than you need to do your job.

    Who the hell runs an accounting package on their desktop in 2017 in a business with 50 people?

    You don't know what you're talking about. Accounting for a 50 person company can't be done well in a browser. It's the wrong tool for the job.

    With everything moving to the cloud, the desktop OS becomes more irrelevant every year.

    Important applications are not moving to "the cloud" as you say.
