  1. What happened, is someone else wants control of Linux, and Linus was told to bow or or end up dead.

  2. Re:That price tag! on Return of the Bubble Car? (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    And that is the elephant in the room that no one wants to talk about. Cars aren't cheap.

  3. Re:Rule 1. Don't attract attention. on Dark Web Marketplace AlphaBay Shuts For Good After Police Raids (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Unless you're an 80 year old granny.

  4. Re:Free market FTW. on World's Cheapest Energy Source Will Be Renewables Within Three Years (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    So may people do not realize that the 'free market' is the only thing, and that everything is part of the free market, from the government to a literal market to the black market. Every action has an equal an opposite reaction and nature abhors a vacuum. What is true in physics is also true in everything else.

  5. Re:Won't be long now on Google Home Ends A Domestic Dispute By Calling The Police (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    That phrase was in Luck of the Fryish. The movie about Philip J Fry was about Fry's Nephew.

  6. Re: Trump 2020 on Trump Nominates Lawyer To Lead FBI (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you for this post. There are painfully few people who seem to understand how and why Trump won.

  7. No, I think you're onto something. I've known for awhile people, whether the US government, Intelligence community, or corporations were going to hijack Linux at some point, and I think all these changes and happenings in the community are the first fruits of those labors.

  8. Re:Absolutely on Ask Slashdot: Is ReactOS A Serious Alternative To Windows? (reactos.org) · · Score: 1

    I have long suspected that AMD and Nvidia have deliberately been writing broken Linux drivers at Microsoft's behest, because when they lose the gamers, their downward slide will be irreversible.

  9. If my past experiences are any indication. on Ask Slashdot: Can Linux Run a GPU-Computing Application Written For Windows? · · Score: 0

    Linux can barely run a GPU at all.

  10. Re:Ignore them on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Aggressive Forum Users? · · Score: 1

    I meant noticing it in the internet in general, rather than just here.

  11. Re:Ignore them on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deal With Aggressive Forum Users? · · Score: 1

    For me, it didn't start with Trump. I first started to really notice it between 2006-2008, and it has gotten steadily worse since then, with a jump about a year leading up to election day 2016. I think a lot of it is CTR/Media Matters and similar groups answering to other interests.

  12. No! No! No! You're not allowed to point out the fact that the rest of the world bitches about America and then does the same shit. ;)

  13. Re:Dramatic contemporary issues on Star Trek Discovery Gets Delayed Again As Spock's Father Is Cast (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Shh...don't interrupt the hate train.

  14. Social isolation isn't a cause. on How Social Isolation Is Killing Us (nymag.com) · · Score: 2

    It's an effect. People are poor now. They don't have the money to go out and do things.

  15. Tin foil hat time. The powers that be want this shut down. That FBIanon shit was not going to go unpunished.

  16. Re:Headphone Jack is Pretty Crappy on Phones Without Headphone Jacks Are Here... and They're Extremely Annoying (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding. We have a winner, folks.

    Calm down there, Satan.

  18. Re:Stop developing 64bit on OEM Windows 7 License Sales End This Friday · · Score: 1

    I'm shocked to see such a comment from someone with a four digit UID. Maybe today the difference between 32 and 64 bit isn't obvious, but Window 3.x, a 16 bit OS, didn't become unusable immediately following the release of NT4 and 95, but could you imagine trying to use 3.x in, say, 2004?

    Remember, no one needed more than 640k of ram at one time, either.

  19. Re:sounds like a job for on Back To Faxes: Doctors Can't Exchange Digital Medical Records · · Score: 0

    Better than the Fox News they usually have on?

  20. You know..... on Ode To Sound Blaster: Are Discrete Audio Cards Still Worth the Investment? · · Score: 1

    I recently broke out my old Live 5.1 to play around with on my PC, because I was having a weird noise issue with the on board sound, and Creative's 64 bit beta drivers did not work. But guess what, C media had drivers for the now ancient 8738 that worked perfectly. On Board sound is still bottom rung stuff, but at the same time the bottom rung has improved noticeably. Another thing people forget is that on board sound is still connected to the same bus that off board sound is. Usually what you get with a sound card is a better dac.

  21. Three wheeled vehicles. on Chinese-Built Cars Are Coming To the US Next Year · · Score: 1

    There have been three wheeled vehicles and at least two different trucks imported in the past, but I'm guessing someone in the government didn't get their palms greased, or possibly they got their palms greased by the wrong individuals who didn't like competition, because they disappeared rather quickly.

  22. Better open source drivers, eh? on NVIDIA Is Better For Closed-Source Linux GPU Drivers, AMD Wins For Open-Source · · Score: 1

    Is that why, on my HD6450, Linux Mint setup boots into a garbled screen, PCLinuxOS skips the desktop installation, and Desktop BSD just gives me a black screen when any setup method is selected?

  23. Tax time. on IRS Misses XP Deadline, Pays Microsoft Millions For Patches · · Score: 1

    Someone's taxes are going to be looked at with a fine tooth comb.... :D

  24. Don't steal instruments from MOD files. on Can There Be Open Source Music? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Make your own. :D

  25. Gaming. on Notch Shelves Space Game 0x10c, Cites Pressure, Desire To Work On Small Projects · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Taking time to chat during a streamed TF2 game...

    Well there's the problem right there.

    It kills me how people complain about how in a hurry they are and how they never have the time to do anything, and they never connect it with the fact that they're always gaming.

    Karma going down in 3...2...1...
