  1. Leopards eating my face? on After Wells Fargo Outage, Customers Say Direct Deposits Aren't Showing Up (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are people still using Wells Fargo? Seriously?

    Is this not the same Wells Fargo that just had that huge class action lawsuit for all those sham accounts their employees were opening on customer's accounts without their knowledge all to satisfy a bunch of sales goals within the company?

    And you can't be bothered to close your account and find another banking method?

    Stop enabling this behavior and then acting shocked when it happens.

  2. One grocery store carries just Folgers, the other store 10 miles down the road carries just Maxwell House. If you want anything fancier there's another store downtown that carries the organic stuff, but only two brands of it. The other store that carries dark roast beans is another 20 miles away. None of them carry supplies like filters or K-Cups, those are at Wal-Mart only.

    If you want everything all on one shelf at the grocery store, hey too bad, you have to CHOOSE.

  3. I had the floppy disk shareware version for whatever it was, came on a few floppies.

    I think it was that first level or so, but it ran amazingly on my old Pentium 90.

    There was an Arts/Rec center up on Custer Hill in Fort Riley, KS that me and several other older guys would book time at to play LAN matches of Doom II a few years later. One of us had a map editor where we made our own levels to fight each other in.

    Frivilous? If it was why did we take it so goddamn seriously?

  4. Or you could just not buy it from a company that loads adware.

  5. Re:And nothing has changed on Amazon Picks New York, Northern Virginia For HQ2 [Update: Confirmed] (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Austin? We have one metro rail line, a bunch of buses, Mopac and 35 which are clogged from 3:30pm until around 8pm every afternoon. Nah, we good fam.

  6. Kindly point out any articles about a US government agency hijacking BGP routes.

    Otherwise, save the whataboutism thanks.

  7. I hope this helped convince yourself.

  8. Re:"out of nowhere provided a two-month reprieve" on Google Sends Final Software Update To Legacy Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P Phones (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm staring at your post right now on a 3-screen MBP setup right now. My ass feels OK.

  9. Main concern on Climate Change Will Cause Beer Shortages and Price Hikes, Study Says (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Yes, that's the thing I was worried about with climate change.

  10. It appears I was mistaken all this time that they meticulously built their hardware to be open-source and backdoor free.

    Huh. So all they do is load Linux distros on other hardware.

  11. Sell it to Facebook.

  12. Re:Next on the agenda... on California May Ban Terrible Default Passwords On Connected Devices (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed, let's wait for the free market in California to resolve this problem on their own!

    Please let me know when that happens.

  13. Re:What a colossally stupid idea. on Windows 10 Will Use the Cloud To Free Up Disk Space (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Because the common desktop/laptop user out there still to this day does not backup files from their hard drives.

    How many times over the years has someone handed you their old busted laptop and asked you if you could please recover all their old photos from there please?

  14. Yes, it is a machine language on How Linux's Kernel Developers 'Make C Less Dangerous' (hpe.com) · · Score: 1

    So treat it like one. JavaScript coders should go work on Atom or something.

  15. Like Wizard of Oz for Kansans on 'The Big Bang Theory' Is Finally Ending (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I think of it like the way people from Kansas regard the Wizard of Oz. Everytime they reveal to someone they're from Kansas, they're met with "oh you must like Wizard of Oz! Kansas must be black and white and boring. Say hi to Dorothy and Toto for me".

    It's not that they hate the Wizard of Oz, it's that it's unnecessary to bring it up constantly.

    I feel like many in the "geek community" received the same treatment regarding Big Bang Theory. While we could identify with many parts of it, others would bring it up too many times, "Oh you must be like Howard around girls, huh".

  16. No good excuse why it isn't already on Baseball Players Want Robots To Be Their Umps (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    No good excuse why it isn't already.

    Sorry, but there is no "old-timey charm" when the calls are blatantly wrong against you.

  17. Well, we could always take a cue from Soviet Russia and restrict college to a select few then send the rest of us out to jobs society needs, as you say.

  18. Which Ford vehicles exactly? on Ford Plans To Spend $4 Billion On Autonomous Vehicles By 2023 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    They just announced the only thing they're sticking with is the Mustang, the F-150s and bunch of SUVs.

  19. Or you could just purchase an external drive of your own and connect it your laptop and turn on Time Machine.

  20. Congrats Slack on Slackware, Oldest Actively Maintained GNU/Linux Distribution, Turns 25 · · Score: 1

    My first experience with Linux was with Slackware in the mid 90s. I was in school, working after hours at a mom and pop dialup ISP in town, their equipment was a turn-key setup and the RADIUS server was a pre-installed Slackware box. One of the RAID controllers on it broke and I was the only one in the office who knew how to navigate at a bash command prompt. 19 year old kid on a conference call with engineers typing in Unix commands. Slackware didn't fail us!

  21. I purchased 1Password several years ago and use it on both my Mac and Windows laptops as well as my phone. The level of support AgileBits gives to the product is one of those big companies that feels like a small bunch of friends who helps you out type of thing. I hope if Apple acquires them they don't lose that. 1Password is an excellent product.

  22. 1Password does both, local and cloud storage. The cloud storage was recently added in the newest version, I've been using the local one for several years.

  23. Fiber cuts, other additional causes on Comcast and Xfinity Facing a Nationwide Outage [Update: Company Confirms] · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apparently Comcast backbone providers suffered at least two fiber cuts, specifically Level3 and Zayo.

    There's an interesting thread on Reddit with ongoing detail:

  24. Really? on 'Waluigi Was Robbed and Humiliated by Nintendo' (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is this really a Slashdot post?

  25. Re:Amazon on Seattle Repeals Tax That Upset Amazon (apnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "There's a reason that people congregate in places like Seattle and San Francisco to camp out and set up tent cities. Because those cities encourage it, practically and culturally and financially. You also know this, but are equally annoyed on that front, because it would mean confronting the reality of which sort of monolithic partisan political establishment totally controls places where that happens."

    That's true, you don't see these tent cities going up in places like Mudville or Sticktown. I wonder why that is.
