Or possibly just ignorant. Ignorance != "whiny, retarded, shit-for-brains".
*Wilful* ignorance is a different story. But I see no indication that this is the case here, so I'll go with the benefit of the doubt thing until I see evidence to the contrary.
Not an Apple fan by any stretch of the imagination, but I bought my wife a MacBook Pro last year, just to get her off Windows and thus purge our home of its last vestige of Windows.
Oh, BTW... Right-click worked just fine on the MCP from the moment we plugged in a two-button USB mouse. Just so you know.
They were already doing DMCA takedowns of any videos they happened across that contained "React" in the title for alleged copyright violation.
These guys are another set of Shkrelis. They are nothing more than rent-seeking scum trying to game the system for profit, while contributing nothing of value or substance in return (unless you think goading a little kid to have a meltdown while you're recording him provides "value").
You seem to have a big problem with FTDI taking down your carefully crafted process because your trust of that company has been broken, yet you seem to have no issue with finding a sure way of keeping Windows from applying random updates to your mission critical system without any form of testing. Strange that.
I have literally never had a USB device outside of HID or mass storage which didn't need its own special snowflake driver, even though USB has driver profiles for several types of device.
I have a no-name USB/Ethernet adaptor that I bought for something like 5¥ several years ago from some guy at a street kiosk in Guangzhou. It has always Just Worked, even on my old laptop still running kernel 2.6-something. Probably the exception that proves the rule, though.
A *troll* would make us laugh or piss us off. The AC poster you're referring to is simply a waste of protoplasm wasting electrons in its too-plentiful spare time.
Slashdot Mirror

It's sad when Americans think that CNN is anywhere at all to the left of, say, Benito Mussolini.
"But with research... there's hope for a cure."

The next time my co-workers give me a hard time because I insist on using POP3 on my laptop, I'm going to point them at this post. Thanks!

When a business no longer provides a worthwhile product or service which it can sell, it switches to lock-in/rent-seeking mode.
But at least we now have Unicode support...
Thanks, Frosty, that's the funniest thing I've read so far this week.
Because it's MY MACHINE, perhaps?
Slashdot is not now nor has it ever been CNN. You want CNN, it's thataway--->
Would have worked if you'd not stuck in the superfluous comma.
(Would-be Grammar Nazis tend to look foolish if they don't pay attention to such things.)

Maybe we could bring back tarring and feathering?

I get it now. Thanks!

TFTFY.

ProTip: Snark != addressing the subject.
It's not with the CEO, either.
OTOH, if we were to speak of people willing to continue working for that CEO...?
What part of Dice Holdings Inc. no longer own Slashdot are you failing to understand?
Perhaps you should wait until you've sobered up before posting again? You're setting a bad example for the youngsters.
Dice no longer own Slashdot.
Here, let me get you a paper towel or something for you to clean yourself up with--you look a bit foolish with all that foam hanging from your mouth.
I thought making throw-away posts about faggots was for... well, you know.

I'd post AC, too, if I had a 15-digit UID.
I'm still stuck with US-style Chinese food whenever I eat here, because real Chinese cooks won't lower themselves to read pinyin.
New tag: "fiszczys" (pronounced "fish-cheese"). (Fishing for hits on a cheesy story, heh.)
Thanks for the interesting and informative Sunday morning read.
And no, I did not ask for one. It's (still) standard on MSI kit.
