  1. Re: What abt people who don't want kids? on Twitter To Give All New Parents 20 Weeks of Paid Leave (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you think spending 20 weeks with a newborn child is "time off" equivalent to other peoples vacations, you are delusional.

  2. Capitalism isn't voluntary. It is slavery. Without committing your own labor, you can not survive in a capitalist environment (current society). You end up evicted, on the street, and begging for scraps. This system deliberately fails to teach rural/nature survival skills so you can't just set out and escape, either. But please, go on about how it's "voluntary".

  3. How ironic, it was his o-ring that did him in.

    They kind of are. A statement that "I'm not a lobotomized fuckhead that doesn't have 24/7 access to google" Technically even a crap-ass android passes for this, but Apple has that clean shiny feel.

    You can get update rollup ISO's that should be up to the EOL of 98. Not idea and might have a virus....but hey.

    when MS releases an OS that isn't a pile of pure dren, I'll upgrade from 7 on my gaming rig. Otherwise, Ubuntu it is.

  7. They see the writing on the wall with how god-awful W10 is, how awful the store is, and how awful MS's policies around the store are.

  8. Ok, megol.

    But just imagine being paid to live in the mountains somewhere, not having to slave away for a faceless corporation. The true american dream.

    Funny, the DC bubble should have taught you what a horrible concept it was and that SF doesn't deserve it. Higher rents lead to higher salary demands lead to higher rents (ad infinitum) lead to increased, fatty budgets in gov/private sector lead to fewer jobs lead to weaker dollar. Econ 101, bitches.

  11. I ran my X230 with a 660Ti eGPU for years. 100% stable and more than enough bandwidth. The adapter even had a USB port I used as a "dock" style setup with a USB hub, with the monitor connected direct to the 660Ti

  12. 3 years after effectively killing expresscard, which fully supported eGPU through some cheap adapters, they bring it back in some convoluted spec? Wonderful, intel, wonderful.

    Yeah no. 98% of users just see "update available" and click ok. 1 more % might read KB###### and click OK. the other 1% might actually read what it is. SO yes it's a trojan horse.. The entire update system's vagueness allows for that. Until it's telling the 99% "you're getting ads now, yes or no?" it's a forced, trojan, horse.

  14. PCI compliance is a joke anyway. 100% security theater.

  15. "Warning, firefight reported in 500 meters"

  16. The publisher/centralized approach is flawed too. There is no perfect solution.

  23. segmentation on Interviews: Ask 'Ubuntu Unleashed' Author Matthew Helmke · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Ubuntu as is, is basically forking itself into the mobile version (and IMO making it all kinds of 'crap' in the process). This process has caused Ubuntu Desktop to stagnate like a mofo since 2013. 16.04 isn't looking much better in this regard. Is anything going on to ~innovate~ the user-facing side of Desktop Ubuntu? Mir feels like vaporware, Unity hasn't changed at all. 8 might be good but is also vaporware. Canonical has a wonderful opportunity to steal vast shares of the windows market with MS spying going on, but is letting the OS stagnate to chase some pipe dream of mobile they'll never gain a real foot-hold in....
