  1. Re:PowerShell Baby! on Windows Admins Need To Prepare For GUI-Less Server · · Score: 1

    This coming from a powershell expert, obviously. I'm glad to have the opinion of someone so obviously knowledgeable and who's not just prattling neckbeard nonsense.

    Yeah, that's sarcasm.

  2. Re:lol slashdot on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but both of those guys are at work right now, so it wouldn't really matter.

  3. Re:I'm honestly confused... on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yeah, I'm sure Microsoft totally bribed the patent office because it's not like the patent office will just rubber stamp _anything_ anyway.

    Your dweeby neckbeard fantasies are amusing to me.

    Also complained that that new fangled automobile would cause various societal ills. In reality, they were just pissed off that they were being obsoleted.

  5. Re:Will there be a Linux version available? on Microsoft To Offer Flight For Free This Spring · · Score: 0

    Of course he had to ask. Every neckbeard linux dweeb has to ask rhetorical questions about "will it run on linux" when they know full well the answer, so the other linux neckbearders can guffaw at the hilarity.

  6. Re:features ? on Windows 8 To Include Built-in Reset, Refresh · · Score: 1

    What "issues" specifically? You mean the "issue" that allows people to install software, often poorly chosen, on their computer? Yeah, I'm sure they'll get right on that...

  7. Re:And why shouldnt iran have nuclear weapons ? on EU Moves To Ban Iran Crude Oil · · Score: 1

    What utter nonsense. The reason Iran should not have nuclear weapons is because it is not in our, the US's, interests.

    That's all there is to it. Countries aren't "libertarian" towards eachother, and the very concept is risible. As to why it's not in our interests...srsly? Let's start with their support of terrorism, move on to threats to our allies (I don't think they would bomb Israel as every neo-con would claim, however), then talk about instability and their long term ability to secure nuclear weapons from individual actors or terrorist groups.

    Durr, why shouldn't Iran have nuclear wepons! Durr....

  8. Re:Positive vs Negative Rights on Vint Cerf On Human Rights: Internet Access Isn't On the List · · Score: 1

    Exactly. That I can get on board with. Asking the very question "Is Internet access a right?" leads to the wrong discussion, and in fact it leads to a pointless discussion.

    The bigger question is does the government have the right to restrict it? And the answer is "no".

    Yeah, how ever did people live in 1950. And 2000 B.C. - don't even get me started!

    Your country just said it is a human right.

    Ergo, the US is a backwards country. Boy that shit is an _iron_ tight argument, Corky.

    Are you just throwing buzzwords around? What in god's name does any of this have to do with phishing?

  12. Re:Public internet sites.. on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: 1

    [Shrug]. That's because you don't don't know what you're talking about, that's all.

    I have more than that technical knowledge and I choose IIS. I do so because I'm deploying enterprise applications including WCF web services, WF backend services, and MVC web applications and use IIS/AppFabric to manage them. It would be...silly to run such things on Apache.

    It amuses me that Linux guys (of which I am one, though not the dweeby type) think they have a deep technical knowledge about computing and "know" why any Linux solution is better, but if you asked them any in-depth questions about why or about different scenarios they'd just stare at you blankly.

  13. Re:IIS will become legacy software on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: -1, Troll

    That's because you don't know what you're talking about.

    IIS is used for industrial strength websites for corporations, online shopping sites, etc... People use IIS for _real work_, not farting around on the Internet and putting up some lame little homemade site.

    Now, I'm not saying Apache/nginx aren't also used for real work. However, people just fart around with them _far_ more because they're free and Linux is hip these days.

  14. Re:IIS still wins on Nginx Overtakes Microsoft As No. 2 Web Server · · Score: -1, Troll

    Bullshit. Stuff like apacha and nginx are so prevalent because so many little shit sites use them. I'm _not_ saying real, massive, large scale sites don't use them, they do of course.

    However, go find 50k little rinky dink servers someone put a static webpage ("hello world!") up on and 49.9k of them will be running Apache/Nginx/something like that.

    It's a bullshit metric that makes the OSS people feel good, that's it.

    You clearly don't know what you're talking about and think IIS is IE. This amuses me greatly.

    Not all sites. IIS is used massively on the corporate interanet.

  17. Re:Well if you can afford the phone outright... on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    The thing is that it would be silly to buy a phone for $500 when you can get the same one for $99, considering the fact that your plan cost will be the same and you're certain to need 2 years of service from _someone_ anyway. Sure, you can change providers within 2 years. I guess you have to decide whether that flexibility is worth $400 or more.

  18. Re:Same here on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    As if any of that matters. They just jack up the prices of the phone and build in the profit loss from such tactics into the normal price of your cellular service. It's a zero sum game.

    Oh, and what's your tax rate, like 60%, and higher if you make a moderate amount of money? Sounds...great!

  19. Re:An outbreak of common sense on Chile Forbids Carriers From Selling Network-Locked Phones · · Score: 1

    Doesn't really matter on some networks, as the provider won't let you use non-provider phones on their network.

  20. Re:Webkit? on Insiders Call HP's WebOS Software Fatally Flawed · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah, I don't understand how anyone could possibly think the reason WebOS didn't take off was because of its performance or some performance related issue as is intimated in the article summary. It doesn't even make sense, it's silly.

    The problem was of course exactly what you quote. From a user perspective I found WebOS pretty cool. I was a long holdout but got a $150 32G Touchpad and used it for a while and was surprised how user friendly the interface was. I prefer it to Android and of course vastly prefer it over the iPhone.

    Unfortunately, WebOS is mostly dead so I have desecrated it by installing Android on it now because I want the Android app library available.

    Lol, any given market segment can think of itself as it likes. If a bunch of old codgers doing that type of development think they're the "real" developers, more power to them. Of course, good luck finding work in those dwindling (relatively) jobs compared to e.g. enterprise development, web app development, or mobile app development.
