  1. In my specific case on Why Aren't People Abandoning Windows For Linux? (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Gaming on Linux is an inferior experience. I flat out could not play everything that I currently play on there.

  2. And if they are any good... on Russia Orders Major VPN Providers To Block 'Banned' Sites (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Their answer will be "lol no".

  3. I don't know why anyone's surprised on A Third of Wikipedia Discussions Are Stuck in Forever Beefs (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Wikipedia's run by the sort of person who enjoys bureaucracy and also enjoys editing Wikipedia all day. They've driven off all the normal people a long time ago.

  4. Big woop, so a hacker might hear fapping noises and the occasional fart from my laptop. I'm not too worried about this.

  5. This CoC is good on SQLite Adopts 'Monastic' Code of Conduct (sqlite.org) · · Score: 1

    It makes dumb people mad, as it's intended to. Just take a look at the comments on this post!

  6. A cynical man would say they're publicizing this now in an attempt to distract people from all the bad publicity they're getting lately.

  7. If you want me to reply outside of work hours, you better be paying me outside of work hours.

  8. It'll work, under conditions that don't and never have existed in the real world.

    Wind and solar -never- operate at 100% of capacity. Not even close.

  9. High rents in NYC? on What Airbnb Did To New York City (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    This is definitely a new phenomenon!

  10. Welp, time to get a hold of a class action lawyer on 'Kernel Memory Leaking' Intel Processor Design Flaw Forces Linux, Windows Redesign (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Design failure caused by negligence? Check.

    The 'fix' massively reduces the utility and value of your hardware? Check.

    Millions and millions of people nailed by it? Check.

  11. Having hundreds of tabs open is a user stupidity problem, not a coding problem.

  12. And what about low income poeple like myself? I guess we just get fucked when they ban internal combustion engines?

  13. Ah, that fancy smartgun technology. on White House Releases Report On How To Spur Smart-Gun Technology (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Too bad it can't be retrofitted to older guns, the few times it's been tested it's been a miserable failure, and there's no way to get rid of all the guns that don't use it. Literally the only reason it exists is a marketing gimmick and stupid anti-gun politicians.

  14. When Apple starts making PCs that a) don't cost an arm and a leg b) can be upgraded with things other than Apple's special, overly expensive parts and c) are not useless garbage completely unsuitable for gaming, then mabye I'll care what they think about how old my computer is.

  15. Can't stump the Trump. on How Donald Trump Uses Twitter As a Weapon of Fear · · Score: 1

    And here people complain all too often about politicians who don't understand technology. Well, you got what you wanted. Are you not entertained?

  16. India, more like poodia. on Facebook Will Still Back Internet.org Despite Indian Gov't Disdain For Free Basics · · Score: 1

    Before they start worrying about what kind of internet their populace uses, perhaps the Indian government should do something about modern plumbing in their country. No other country on earth has DESIGNATED SHITTING STREETS in their capital.

  17. how useless on Reluctant Wikipedia Lifts Lid On $2.5M Internet Search Engine Project (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Cool, I look forward to having a search engine primarily full of family guy episodes, anime characters, and a million roads and tiny towns in rural England.

  18. Can't stump the Trump!

  19. Unfortunately for him, Maduro doesn't have control of the military. In fact, they're the ones that forced him to abide by the results of the election.

  20. Nicolas Maduro is insanely angry that his political party got heaved out of office in the recent elections, and he's going to be heaved out too, as soon as it's legally possible. Venezuela's shitty governance isn't quite fixed yet, but it's well on the way... and Maduro's already begun his transformation into a salt golem.

  21. hurrrr on Test Pilot: the F-35 Can't Dogfight · · Score: 1

    And since when was the last time dogfights were a thing? This isn't the Vietnam era anymore. We have something these days called "missiles", and they work pretty damn good-- good enough that you can swat that annoying guy before he gets anywhere near you with a gun.

  22. lol on Men's Rights Activists Call For Boycott of Mad Max: Fury Road · · Score: 1

    Who the fuck watches a kickass action movie just so they can find some Tumblr shit to complain about?

  23. *pops collar* on Jupiter Destroyed 'Super-Earths' In Our Early Solar System · · Score: 1

    Don't fuck with the god of thunder.

  24. ugh on On Firing Open Source Community Members · · Score: 1

    This article can be summed up as "a lot of nerds need to grow spines".

    If someone's primary contribution to a project is shit and noise, then get rid of them. And then get rid of anyone who whines about it, too.

  25. so true :| on Mental Illness Reduces Lifespan As Much as Smoking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can nail this one: Mentally ill people generally don't take good care of themselves. They tend to eat worse and more irregularly, sleep odd hours, and not get to the doctor as much (for whatever reason), especially if they live by themselves and no one's looking after them.

    Basically, the severely mentally ill tend to make poor lifestyle choices a lot more.
