  1. Just as broken as Windows 8 on Ask Slashdot: Share Your Experiences With Windows 10 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Within a week, either OS stops seeing keyboard and mouse upon OS load - they work fine before Windows boots, but once 8 or 10 boots up, they're totally gone. This problem has happened on more than just my system, I have customers come in going "This is a brand-new keyboard and mouse and the computer won't see it! This laptop is brand new and keyboard and mouse don't work!"

    It's a fucking clusterfuck. When you update shit, settings that shouldn't get fucked with get fucked with.

    Reading through a lot of documentation, the shit's still written for Windows 7.

    Video and Sound performance have dropped, as well as file transfers (7 can saturate my SATA3 bus, 10 could not until I installed Win7 drivers for my chipset.)

    UVC drivers changed somehow for some fucking reason, so now all of my UVC devices no longer work unless I have them on a 32-bit Windows 7 or XP machine. They won't even work under 32-bit Windows 8 any longer.

    Like hell I'm upgrading past 7.

  2. Because Amazon's programmers simply aren't that fucking smart and it's about time people realize it. The people that write game console emulators are smarter.

    I mean, Amazon used to have FurAffinity's fucking DRAGONEER working for them. That should tell you just how fucking stupid the company is.

  3. Re:"... sign you in without any fuss." on Google's Open YOLO Project Will Remove the Need For Passwords On Android (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Before you guys work on authentication try making a mobile OS that doesn't need GHz+ processing speeds and 4GB+ RAM to be fucking useful. We had videos and games and shit on 533MHz Pentium 3 with 256-512MB RAM and if lucky a 64-128MB GPU, and a responsive and fast operating system. You seem to able to achieve almost none of this, and that technology is from the late 90s.

    Tell your Google overlords to get the fuck back to basics. MenuetOS could eat your lunch if they hit the mobile space.

  4. Re:Most of them Level 3 Call Centers on Robocalling Scourge May Not Be Unstoppable After All (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    *refuse to do anything.

    That's how much Level 3 pisses me off and I wish I could find their CEO and beat the shit out of him in a settling ala The Culling.

  5. Most of them Level 3 Call Centers on Robocalling Scourge May Not Be Unstoppable After All (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    I can guarantee you that 90% of those fewer than 40 call centers are owned by Level 3 or a subsidiary of Level 3. Every number I've traced (I love the ones that start with my area code then the first digit is a 1) has come from Level 3 or a Level 3 subsidiary. I've notified them multiple times of this shit, and they refuse to do nothing.

    Shut Level 3 down and hit them with criminal charges, and I guarantee you most of this will stop immediately.

  6. Re: Time for a law change America on This Company Has Built a Profile On Every American Adult (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    "Within the past few years, some former college football and basketball players sued the NCAA successfully."

    They settled and there was no legal precedent established as there was no court or jury ruling. Feel free to try it in court, but you likely don't have the sort of case these players had, and you'll likely fuck up and lose.

  7. These guys are a bunch of script kiddies, and nothing actually resembling a cracker group.

    Notice I didn't say hacker - they're not making useful and non-obvious improvements to a system as per the original definition coined by TMRC at MIT in the 50s.

  8. Yup, most psychic pokemon seem to show up at rehab or hospitals or water areas. I have an inpatient rehab clinic across the street from where I live, Abras and Alakazams everywhere there according to my fiance when he walks the perimeter.

    Also, the speed limit is NOT 10MPH for egg hatching. Don't go above 20MPH (a hard flat-out run) and you're golden. I've hatched a bunch of pokemon for my fiance just by driving to my local mine using side streets.

  9. Re:Stop using OS X and their 10 year old computers on Apple Should Stop Selling Four-Year-Old Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    There's a big difference between Core Duo and Core 2 Duo.

  10. Here, let's add more since you seem incapable of using google

    http://imgur.com/gallery/zcNOL...

    And you can follow right back to that blog and see the exact same fucking words yourself.

    Try again when you can actually use Google!

  11. Who needs screenshots when you can just visit Twitter itself and see for yourself?

    There's your cited evidence. Start reading. Failure to do so shows you had no intent on actually challenging this and were just talking out of your ass.

  12. "And yet literally no-one has called anyone a rapist for merely disagreeing with them or criticising them"

    Bullshit, plenty of SJWs will HAPPILY equate your disagreement with rape of some sort or another.

  13. Re:Lawn Dart on US Air Force Declares F-35A Ready For Combat (defensenews.com) · · Score: 2

    " I just don't understand why in hell they had to have a single engine fighter."

    Then you're not qualified to even be fucking speaking on this subject. Quit being an armchair strategist and get your lazy ass into the actual military.

  14. Re:Good thing you have a choice on Bar In UK Uses Faraday Cage To Block Mobile Phone Signals (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Jamming implies overpowering the frequencies, not absorbing them and displacing them elsewhere. A faraday cage is an INTERCEPTOR, not a jammer. Jammers require ACTIVE COMPONENTS.

  15. XMPP/Jabber is much safer, especially run through Pidgin with OTR, you ignorant fuckwit.

  16. Handing out your phone number for an IM service is just asking for shit like this to happen. Telegram exposed themselves to this kind of attack due to their sheer arrogance in thinking the cellular system was secure by any means.

    Smart in using encryption, stupid in explicitly trusting a network.

  17. Re: Nope on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Nope. Many banks allow for longer PINs.

  18. CSS? on C Isn't The Most Popular Programming Language, JavaScript Is (networkworld.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    CSS is hardly a programming language. Thus, RedMonk can be safely ignored.

  19. Re:Gimp... We're still waiting for something, righ on After New GIMP Release, Core Developer Discusses Future of GIMP and GEGL (girinstud.io) · · Score: 1

    "CMYK is not needed anymore"

    Wrong. You fail at understanding additive and subtractive color blending.

    Although I do suspect heavily that Doyle had alcohol-related problems much like his character. Sad.

  21. Re: Nope on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes. One chip, one card, one PIN.

    Convenience.

  22. Re: What's the big problem? on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    It says neither, and both credit and debit accounts are linked to the same card.

  23. Re:What's the big problem? on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not when both accounts are linked to one card.

  24. Re:What's the big problem? on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    My Wells Fargo card, on both credit and debit transactions, explicitly requires a PIN with the chip. AND my PIN is 12 digits long.

  25. Re:What's the big problem? on The Chip Card Transition In the US Has Been a Disaster (qz.com) · · Score: 0

    "Because here in the USA it's Chip and Signature, not Chip and Pin."

    Bullshit, it's been Chip and PIN every place I've done a transaction here in SoCal, even the liquor store across the street run by Iranians uses Chip and PIN.
