  2. Re:Sigh not more of this bullshit on Samsung's Next Flagship Smartphone May Not Feature a Headphone Jack (sammobile.com) · · Score: 2

    In addition, I wish companies would stop with the "better water resistance" BS. My Kyocera Hydro VIBE, released in 2014, has a headphone jack (and user-replacable battery) and is certified waterproof to 1m for 30min. If Kyocera could do it 2 years ago, Samsung and Apple should be able to do now with these features - unless people want to go SCUBA diving with their phones.

  3. Hmm... on 4chan Is Running Out of Money and Martin Shkreli Wants To Buy It (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    8chan seems to be getting by and they have twice as many chans.

    "All New" - in reference to a single TV show/episode. Grrrr ...

    Why? It's a perfectly acceptable way to express "entirely" or "every part of". cf. "It's all wrong."

    I've never seen a partially-new single episode. They can be new or not.

  6. Re:I don't hate on systemd but this is really bad on Multiple Linux Distributions Affected By Crippling Bug In Systemd (agwa.name) · · Score: 1

    EMACS and systemd are both credible complete operating systems, but EMACS is lighter weight, includes a web browser, and can emit textual log files. It's a clear victory for EMACS.

    Emacs can also play Towers of Hanoi. Can Systemd do that? I think NOT. (I know, I know. Don't give them ideas.)

    My pet peeve is the stating "nothing but".

  8. Re:The downvoting is impressive! on Online Journalists Launch An Onslaught Against Donald Trump (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    I don't know if I've seen so many points expended to suppress both sides of an argument.

    • The Left implies that Trump is dumb and says mean things to people, mainly girls - Trump seems to be backing them up on that.
    • The Right admits that Clinton is competent, but implies that she has gotten away with (among many other bad things) murder.

    Choose your next President to get things done and defend the Free World ...

    Yes, yes...I'm sure Mr. Trump wants nuclear war...

    Did you get Johnny Smith to shake Trumps hand?

  10. The failure of systemd is that ... on Multiple Linux Distributions Affected By Crippling Bug In Systemd (agwa.name) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The developers haven't stopped at what systemd needs to do and have gone on to what they want it to do, favoring the latter over the former.

  12. Ya, but ... on Print-On-Demand Bone Could Quickly Mend Major Injuries (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2

    If you shatter a bone in the future, a 3D printer and some special ink could be your best medicine.

    It will probably be an HP printer that requires genuine HP ink cartridges - so there's that.

    Boned and can't get reboned.

  13. Re:I wonder if they thought this through. on Google Rebrands 'Apps for Work' To 'G Suite,' Adds New Features (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds an awful lot like "g-spot."

    They decided against that as they were afraid no one would be able to find it.

  14. A rose by any other name. on Amazon Looking To Abandon UPS, FedEx In Favor of Its Own Delivery Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon said they were considering using drones to deliver packages, so using their own employees ... tomato / tomato.

    After sitting through many code reviews, I can tell you it's not clean coal.

  16. Think about it: Imagine Anthony Hopkins playing the role of a young teenager. Sure, he's a really talented actor, but it would just be really...odd... Unless the movie is supposed to be a comedy or something.

    I'm sure Barbara Hudson will chime in and label me as hateful and bigoted, but what can you do.

    And then Hopkins will play her in the inevitable biopic.

  17. Re:Corporate suicide! on Tuesday Was Microsoft's Last Non-Cumulative Patch (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft is that - The Thing That Won't Die. No matter how much it is whacked, or whacks itself, it just gets up again like a zombie with even more wounds spouting pus over anyone who goes near it and keeps on walking and trampling with empty eye sockets and flailing arms, just like in a horror movie.

    Damn. Missed this bit of good news in the blog in my previous post:

    Microsoft Update Catalog
    The Microsoft Update Catalog website is being updated to remove the ActiveX requirement so it can work with any browser. Currently, Microsoft Update Catalog still requires that you use Internet Explorer. We are working to remove the ActiveX control requirement, and expect to launch the updated site soon.

    In addition, from the same blog post:

    Over time, Windows will also proactively add patches to the Monthly Rollup that have been released in the past.

    Probably meaning telemetry and all the other things people have explicitly not installed (like Silverlight - for which "patches" appear in WU, even though I don't have it installed).

    And liberal groups are not attacking Trump with similar tactics?

    That's too much like work, its far easier to just replay everything he actually says. It goes viral on its own...

    And then replay the videos of everything he denies ever saying. (Roll 212 !)

    [I don't know why anyone would want a President that doesn't understand how video recorders/tape works.]

  23. Burke has five "millennial" children, ages 19 to 28, and exactly "none" subscribe to cable or satellite, ...

    As opposed to approximately "none". Perhaps all his children are just dumb too.

  24. Re:Better allocate some resources now on Senate Panel Authorizes Money For Mission To Mars (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Since the coming president ( R, according to recent polls ) is likely to inject a lot into the military (thus less for the rest), better to save a bit for NASA now.

    The Senators aren't actually saving money for NASA, but the related projects funding their local constituents.
