  1. Pipe dream on Renewables Are Set To Overtake Gas and Coal By 2027 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 0

    One look at page 6 of this report proves this article wrong.

  2. Re:Apparently... on Visual Studio 2015 C++ Compiler Secretly Inserts Telemetry Code Into Binaries (infoq.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Right. AutoCAD, Photoshop, Microsoft Office just to name a few do not run on Linux. Those are key programs for many professionals.

  3. Toyota was also blaming drivers. on Tesla: Model X Accident Caused By Driver Error, Not Autopilot (computerworld.com) · · Score: 0

    This is similar to Toyota rapid acceleration. They blamed users but it turned out that their buggy software was faulty. Logs only show the final effect. So they show pedal pressed. How do we know that it was "pressed" by the user. Those are drive by wire accelerators.

  4. I always thought that Elon Musk is not quite normal. Now I have a proof of it.

  5. Anyone who attempts to "burn our cities" should be shot on the spot.

  6. Re:You cucks should be deporting millions on Stephen Hawking Calls Trump A 'Demagogue' Who Appeals 'To The Lowest Common Denominator' (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I think, the last time world let a system of "human dignity and social justice" rule, humanity lost about 5 times more people to genocide than due to nazi Germany.

  7. Not good, not good. on Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    I thought electric rovers running on solar panels do not emit greenhouse gasses. This must be bad news for Elon Musk !!!

  8. Re: slippery slope on Utah Governor: 'Porn Is a Public Health Crisis' (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    What about farting in public places? In fact by farting anywhere you are increasing greenhouse gases that affect my quality of life. So I think society should have the right to forbade you farting anywhere..

  9. Re: How about something more useful? on Microsoft's BSOD Is Getting More Descriptive With QR Codes (cio.com) · · Score: 0

    I would still rather have human readable message. I have had two persistent cases of BSOD in the past builds. The first was consistently crashing on video driver, which you could decipher from BSOD screen. After upgrading driver the problem was gone. The other time the BSOD was completely random module. Sometimes driver, sometimes kernel, sometimes some other Windows module. This was wild guess that it must be bad memory stick and it turned out to be the right guess. So even without sophisticated debugging, this simple readable feedback was useful. QR code is not.

  10. Re: If ever a company and its people deserved to d on Anti-Piracy Firm Rightscorp Will Hijack Pirates' Browsers Until a Fine is Paid (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: -1

    Why don't you design something that cost several thousands man - hours to design and I will be happy to freely copy it after you done.

  11. Warmist religion marching on. on We Had All Better Hope These Scientists Are Wrong About the Planet's Future (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0

    Oh my God, sky is falling and we are sinful beings. Repent ! Repent !. Mr Hansen, the amount of hurricanes is actually going down. The amount of biomass is growing thanks to elevated levels of CO2. The growing season is longer and reaching more land further toward north and south poles.

  12. Except unlike CFC or sulfur, CO2 emissions are actually harmless or even beneficial for plants.

  13. The mystery of water in City of Flint? on Hackers Modify Water Treatment Parameters By Accident (softpedia.com) · · Score: 0

    Is this the reason for Flint water fiasco?

  14. Unless orchestrated by Democrats script kiddies want to end up like Snowden?

  15. Why learn chemistry? on The Case Against Algebra · · Score: 0

    Dump the chemistry class. It is useless. Just teach us how to cook meth and make ethyl alcohol from sugar at home and we will be all set for life.

  16. We need more before announcing success. on An Advanced Math Education Revolution Is Underway In the U.S. (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    The winners of the olympiad were:

    Shyam Narayanan, David Stoner, Michael Kural, Ryan Alweiss, Yang Liu and Allen Liu

    I hate to break the news, but most likely 3 if not 4 out of 6 were either immigrants or children of the immigrants from the regions of the world, where learning hard sciences is a strong family culture with serious attention and pressure from the parents.

  17. Re:How to tell a regulation has failed utterly on Opel Dealers Accused of Modyfing the Software of Polluting Cars (deredactie.be) · · Score: 0

    In China the problem is with coal power stations. Registering only electric vehicles in fact make things worse for the air.

  18. I would do exactly the same if I would lead Microsoft. Why would they have to support outdated software? Microsoft want users to switch to Windows 10. It will simplify their future software development, cut costs and allow to sell apps through their store. Let me paraphrase famous saying. "Microsoft is not in the business of making software. Microsoft is in the business of making money." It offers windows 10 for free for God's sake. If you don't like it, stay with the system you have or switch to competition - Apple or Linux. Just don't expect that private business is somehow morally or otherwise obligated to support outdated software forever for a few of people who refuse to switch. No software company does that. Even open source community does not supports older versions of their creations. They expect you to switch to the latest version sooner or later.

  19. "The researcher has decided to act like a childish asshole".

    Glad that you mention. I always thought, that all those musicians who prohibit Republicans from using pieces of their music during election are childish assholes too.

  20. Lets wait for investigation. on Emory University SCCM Server Accidentally Reformats All Computers Campus-wide · · Score: 0

    In my company IT tests all upgrades on the isolated small network before deploying. You would imagine that this should be standard practice.

  21. An be subject of assult ? on Anyone Can Buy Google Glass April 15 · · Score: -1

    Buy Google glass and become victim of liberal assult in San Francisco.

  22. This is pile of crap. on Why San Francisco Is the New Renaissance Florence · · Score: 0

    Almost any city in Europe beats SF easily.

  23. Cry baby on Elon Musk Addresses New Jersey's Tesla Store Ban · · Score: 0

    Tesla is crying that it must obey the same rules that every one else in the industry.

  24. Desperate times require desperate measures. on Free (Gratis) Version of Windows Could Be a Reality Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    The fiasco of Metro UI is forcing Microsoft to take extreme measures. Windows 8 failed it's main goal to convert Microsoft near monopoly in PC market into mobile dominance.In the process it actually enraged the current customer base which caught Microsoft by surprise, but that is another story. They are trying to repeat the trick that killed Netscape. Free IE bundled with Windows made Netscape irrelevant. I don't believe this will work the same today.Times are different.

  25. I don't think it is a grat idea. on German Chancellor Proposes European Communications Network · · Score: 0

    This will certainly fracture the internet. I can easily imagine other regions of the world not necessarily as friendly to their citizens as it is in Europe creating their own separate networks so few decades from now we will be locked to basically borders of our regions. I would rather put political pressure on US to stop snooping. EU can also easily develop independent cipher standards that do not have NSA backdoor and possibly even introduce email protocols that enforce those standards automatically thus preventing anyone from reading EU emails. That would do way more for the humanity than separating themselves.
