  1. Re:Russians must be laughing their asses off at us on Facial Scanning Now Arriving At US Airports (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    What difference does it make whether you leave the country by air, train, or foot for the purpose of immigration enforcement?

    If you're leaving for a non-Schengen destination by air, you'll go through border controls before boarding the plane. If you're flying to another point within the Schengen Area, you don't even need your passport, just your state-issued ID card showing that you're a Schengen national. Doesn't matter if the airport's in Germany, France, or even Sweden. If you're crossing a land border between two Schengen countries, you generally just walk, ride, or drive past the little "Welcome to $country" sign by the side of the road. Germany checks your papers on trains coming into the country; I don't think anyone else does right now.

  2. Or you could, you know, actually go to China and see for yourself, or ask someone who's been there?

    I switched to Ubuntu a couple of years ago. I don't miss Windows. I do miss being able to easily fix the nvidia driver.

    I just add the Nvidia repo, and I'm good to go. OpenSUSE.

    Don't feed the troll.

  5. Sweden is hardly flat, unlike the Midwest. ... For a country that's mostly vertical cliffs and volcanic rock, that's not bad.

    Actually, Sweden is mostly rolling or flat, and doesn't have any volcanoes. You must have us confused with Iceland.

  6. Let both of these asses be set to grinding corn.

  7. So you're saying that the government wants to force companies that provide Internet service to... provide Internet service? Oh, the horror! The horror!

  8. AP isn't an Aussie. That kinda spoils the effect.

  9. Do you think he has a working sarcasm detector?

    If it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it is, then it's awfully nice to be *able* to fix it.

    No time machine required--I saw plenty of "Whites Only" and "Colored Entrance" signs as a child.

  13. Be excellent to one another. That's all we need to make it.

    That's the *only* way we'll make it, brother.

  14. Christina Hoff Sommers wrote a whole book dedicated to the premise that girls do better in school these days only because the Evil Liberals have conspired to hold boys back. She is nothing more than an agent provocateur for the anti-feminist right wing.

  15. The only place 'Cultural Marxism' exists is in the fevered imaginations of racists who imagine themselves to be 'White'.

  16. ... groups from Slovacs [sic] to 'White Hispanics"...

    Fun fact: Slavs, Italians, and Irishmen were all at one time or another considered 'non-White' in the US.

    I can unplug the network cable from any of my machines running OpenSUSE and it starts up just fine, thanks.

    You may remember dial-up modems--I certainly do--but I don't think you remember anything about Linux, and you should be old enough by now to know better than to make stuff up.

  18. Re:Apple needs to ease up... on Key iPhone Source Code Gets Posted On GitHub (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    That may be true, but it's also the case that there's very little anyone else can do to prevent Apple from tracing the source of the leak and providing that information to its lawyers. Theft of company property is still a crime, even if the company is Apple.
