  1. Re:Great, another attack vector on WebAssembly: An Attempt To Give the Web Its Own Bytecode · · Score: 2

    asm.js already exists, and already runs in your browser, and is not the cause of any known security issues. This is just a different packaging for the exact same thing.

  2. Re:This is ridiculous on Glen Greenwald: Don't Trust Anonymous Anti-Snowden Claims · · Score: 3, Informative

    So basically, we have no evidence, but there are reasons why we have no evidence so we should just trust the claims blindly.

    "It's other people's fault for being butthurt!"

    "HOW DARE YOU HOW DARE YOU MY BUTT IS HURTING SO MUCH YOU CAN'T EVEN UNDERSTAND"

    Yeah, rings a little bit hollow.

    You realise battery life depends extremely heavily on installed apps, and how often they query the network in the background?

  5. Re:PowerShell is yucky yucky yucky! on Microsoft Releases PowerShell DSC For Linux · · Score: 1

    The context of the output causes scripts to change the format of the output.

    So you also hate ls, and lots of other unix tools that change format depending on whether output is going to a tty or not?

  6. Re:I'll bite on Microsoft Releases PowerShell DSC For Linux · · Score: 1

    The only shell I can think of that could possibly be called "modern" would be PowerShell, so this question is a bit odd.

  7. Re:Like deer hunting in Texas on Two Gunman Killed Outside "Draw the Prophet" Event In Texas · · Score: 1

    "Such a group"? That is, a group that wants people to be shot to promote their prejudices?

    I struggle quite a bit to see how you could possibly infer that from what I said.

    As opposed to nothing what-so-fuck-ever.

    Both sides here are perfect and utter shitheads. Both sides wanted this fight, which benefits nobody except feeding their own hate-filled little minds.

    Fuck all of them.

  9. Re:SAVE US AND THE WEB FROM MOZILLA! on Mozilla Begins To Move Towards HTTPS-Only Web · · Score: 2

    However, I think the point Anonymous Coward was making is that if it were reversed, and someone lost their job for supporting same sex marriage, you'd never hear the end of it.

    First thing to remember is that this is not someone who lost their job, it's a boss being rejected by his employees. That is a very special and unusual kind of situation, where normal power relationships are inverted. You can't really say the person in question is being oppressed here.

    So if a company rejected their boss for agreeing with same-sex marriage, if the rest of the company was by and whole against it, I wouldn't be happy about it, but I would not claim they had done anything morally wrong (beyond to whatever extent I think holding such an opinion is morally wrong).

    So what you're saying is, nobody has ever had freedom of speech?

    Thanks for clearing that up.

    Existing Firefox users lost their freedom to use modern versions of Firefox with a usable UI.

    This is not a freedom which exists, especially since it makes no sense at all.

    Eich lost his freedom of expression.

    He did not.

    I find it strange that Uber doesn't try harder to fix this problem.

    Not at all strange. They are sociopathic libertarian company devoted to "disruption", which is generally code for "we break the law if it gets in the way of us making money and we think we can get away with it".

    Yep, shure. But that is clearly contra-productive for the whole community

    Nothing clear about it whatsoever. It means people can actually make a profit, which means they will actually put in the effort to make things that community will benefit from.

    And no, with a few notable but very specific exceptions, you can't really make money off GPL'd software.
