  1. Re:fingerprint unlock on Apple's Next Year iPhone Won't Have the Home Button: NYTimes · · Score: 1

    The home button is the unlock button. Or it can at least. The power button is incredibly small so I'm not sure how much of a fingerprint read they could get from that.

  2. My question... on Interviews: Ask Perl Creator Larry Wall a Question · · Score: 1, Troll

    In regards to the syntax; were you drunk/high, or do you just hate people?

  3. It's the "stay in your lane" bullshit expanded to TV shows.

  4. Shhhh! Feels, not reals! We'll have no facts here! Stop your mansplaining! Waaaaaaah!

  5. Re:App store switching! on AdBlock Plus Defends Ad Blocking, Applauds Marco Arment · · Score: 1

    NoAppStoreRedirect takes care of that if you're jailbroken. Wish there was a similar option for launching apps and not just going to the app store though.

    Why'd you cave? If they complained, you should've renamed it to Anal Fisting Funhouse.

    And default installations of Windows have never had java.

  8. Re:That's great news! on Cornell Study: For STEM Tenure Track, Women Twice As Likely To Be Hired As Men · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So since I'm a white male, I should be passed over for someone who is black/female based on their skin color or sex regardless of the fact that they came from a more well to do family right? I was never poor to the point where I had to eat food out of a garbage can, but no one in my family went to college without scholarships and loans because my family wouldn't be able to just outright pay for it. But a woman coming from a family with two vacation houses clearly had to work harder and struggle more to reach where they are. I'm tired of how so many people like you think that people should inherit the "sins" of history that are things they in no way control.

  9. I think it'd be fair to ask who would have a dedicated OC12 ANYWHERE. And that'd assume Microsoft would be matching that speed and dedicated to just you. Even if you've got a wide open OC12 yourself, I don't think you'd be likely to see more than OC3 speeds to Microsoft. Probably far below that.

    Why are you still with them? Shitty company that has no interest in cleaning up their network.

    Citrix sucks in many ways, but he's smoking crack. I logged into our citrix server from chrome, and I can get into blue cross blue shield from chrome with no problem.

  16. Re:Or, projectors and tablets together on College CIO Predicts Tablets Will Kill Smart Boards · · Score: 1

    I can't say for sure if it's true for all smart boards (i don't know how many there are) but the one we have in our office is a projector as well. Short throw projector on top of the board. It was actually cheaper going that route than a projector that could do the same resolution too. And it means that we didn't have to try to install a projector on the ceiling or sit it on a table. We use it more for projector than the board aspect but the capability is there.

  17. Re:C is for consumer on Apple Loses Claim For False Advertising Regarding Amazon "App Store" · · Score: 1

    And who knows what they "have in the works"; because Apple doesn't announce anything until it is a "done deal".

    You have a more liberal definition of "done deal" than the rest of the world, methinks. One word: maps. Unless in that case you think a done deal is "sub-part mapping software circa 2001"

  18. Why is the human body so evil? on Child Gets Nintendo 3DS Full of Porn For Christmas · · Score: 2

    Seriously, if the dad thinks his kid is never gonna set tits, pussy, and/or cock, he's deluded.

  19. Re:Fix the people not the tool! on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 2

    The problem I see with that is that normal user behavior will kick in; which means if they have to do more work, they won't do it. So they'll hit reply, it'll go to the sender, and that's it. Users will do as little as possible, consequences be damned.

    I would hope that by age 13, parents would have instructed their children to have a bit more sense than that. That's fucking middle school.

  21. Our software got hit by this too on Sophos Anti-Virus Update Identifies Sophos Code As Malware · · Score: 1

    It really appears they were just flagging anything that had Update in the path anywhere. One of our customers reported this to us. Three of our applications have Update in the file name, so they were flagged, as was their own updater. When I was looking up information about this, I found on the forums that in addition to their own software, they also quarantined, Adobe, Google, and a couple other apps that had update in the name. It isn't even based on JUST the filename. Anywhere in the path caused it to happen.

    Like others said, how this could've even made it out of the lab is beyond me.

  22. Re:non-toxic? on TSA Says Screening Drinks Purchased Inside Airport Terminal Is Nothing New · · Score: 1

    "just doing their job" is NEVER a valid defense. Especially ones that have signed up to be TSA goons after it has been established that people don't like them.

    I have the opposite results... Convertible with top down at speed, "Call xxx home" and system says "call xxx home?" and then dials... The only problem is if there are two names that are close, like if I had Jamie and Janie in the phone book, it's questionable how that'd go. But I suppose a last name would likely clear that up.

  25. Re:A bit over the top on OpenBSD's De Raadt Slams Red Hat, Canonical Over 'Secure' Boot · · Score: 1

    Actually, it is not necessary at all. Why not default to boot anything and just support secure boot? Suggest that users sign their freshly installed OS and turn it on? Ideally, UEFI itself would have that as an easy to find option and it would sign whatever the currently installed OS is.

    Because the majority of users won't do that. Do you honestly think that users, who click yes to anything without reading what software will do, who run "this cute thing" someone emails them, will take the time to sign their OS? It's that whole horse and water thing.
