    Didn't think so.

  5. But then, how do you sell someone $5 earbuds for $200, while at the same time ensuring they'll have to buy them again within a few years?

  6. Re:Notepad Next on Windows 10 Calculator Will Soon Be Able To Graph Math Equations (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Notepad should remain as just something to create, edit or view text files. It does not need to be able to insert video files or java apps, it does not need a calendar / reminder option and it sure as God-damned fucking hell doesn't need to be part of any social media shit, pardon my French there. It is fine as it is. Leave it alone.

    You should probably strap a bunch of heat-sinks to the sides of your head first.

    So if there are any spacefaring civilisations out there, they'll only be able to sail away from any black holes?

    That cuts down on the places we should be looking, a little.

    I'd like to figure out why the anti-vaxxer crowd believes this crap. Not the ones selling books and movies, those guys are in it for the money. I mean the rank and file. They're not just stupid.

    First, i thought we'd all agreed to stop calling them "anti-vaxxers" and to start calling them "pro-plague-ers". Second, they can either believe there's something wrong with their genetics, or they can believe it was something that was done to them by Big Pharma. Guess which option is more attractive, to hell with the evidence?

  22. It is interesting that if I want to backup 10TB, the cheapest solution I have found is to place a small QNAP (1 or 2 drive) at a friends house and run run sync backup between them.

    Is that a cheaper solution than unplugging the drive and walking over to your friend's house with it?
