  1. Re:Puritans are scum on Ashley Madison Hack Claims First Victims · · Score: 1

    Commenting to remove moderation. Accidentally modded the wrong message.

    Not sure if troll. I don't disagree with many of your preferences, but there are options out there. Use MATE (a fork of GNOME 2) and Chrome/Chromium. Use Fedora, which seems to have SystemD figured out and working well. Wait, Edge? You are a troll.

  3. Magazine, Not Clip on 3D Printable Ammo Clip Skirts New Proposed Gun Laws · · Score: 1

    Please learn the terminology if you want to have intelligent conversations about a topic. Even if you are pro gun control, learn the terms. Calling a magazine a "clip" is like calling an entire computer a "CPU": its wrong and no one knowledgeable in the field would say it.

  4. Trolls on PETA Condemns Pokemon For Promoting Animal Abuse · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't feed the trolls.

    Replying to remove accidental moderation.

    Actually, yes, I think it just might be. Imagine the mountains of coal that would have been burned instead over the past 76 years.

    This "democratic ideal" might be true in a world without marketing and advertising. Marketing and advertising have no place in a true meritocracy.

  8. Re:Sorry kids on "Install Other OS" Feature Removed From the PS3 · · Score: 1

    I already use Ubuntu 100% on my machines at home and work, apart from when I need to remote desktop into Windows servers

    Assuming you just need standard Windows remote desktop (RDP), rdesktop (sudo apt-get install rdesktop) will probably do everything you need. Perhaps you are using some exotic remoting protocol.

  9. Re:Cue the Douglas Adams references! on Reflected Gravitational Waves · · Score: 1

    He mentioned it first in a radio series, which is excellent. If you've read the book(s) and avoided the radio series, you are doing yourself a real disservice. I made the mistake of listening to the radio version first, and it ruined the books for me (so much of the humor from the radio series didn't translate to book form).

  10. Re:Fair enough on Mozilla Demanding Firefox Display EULA In Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I am curious, what do people object to regarding the Awesome Bar? I find it saves me a lot of time Googling for a website I've been to before (or maintaining a huge bookmark list of every site I might want to return to). Is it too slow on some hardware? It's always been fast (enough) for me on semi-modern hardware.

  11. Re:So the price of phones will just increase, nice on FCC To Hold Hearings On Early Termination Fees · · Score: 1

    An early termination fee makes sense when they give you a free (or reduced cost phone). You have the phone, they get something like the money they would have made back over the life of the contract. However, when I leave, they get to keep their new infrastructure. And the resources I was using are freed for someone else to use. The early termination only makes sense in the context of repayment for a free/reduced price phone.

    I love you. I am really impressed, the colors convey the syntax highlight, but are all easy on the eyes. Thanks!
