  1. Re: Lol, only morons never change their views. on President Trump Pledges To Help China's ZTE, After Ban (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh, yeah. All the Chinese people who were buying ZTE phones will go 'huh' and buy an American brand phone instead.

  2. You'll fish however much your tribal government allows. They are probably wiser than you as an individual.

    Apple produces the Buick product in a world of Chevrolets.

    Quit with the 'Mercedes' bullshit.

  4. By 'government interference in personal issues' do you mean things like the government forcing a baker to bake a cake?

    True, but it means he probably was deeply involved in the trashcan design.

    You're getting paid to be at work. The charging infrastructure costs money for your employer to install and maintain, so you should feel fortunate it's free. Also, aren't these new mandatory assigned parking spots at work great?!? Suzi, an assistant clerk in HR, got that really close spot for being employee of the month.

    The mechanism that generates regulation is ambitious, aggressive and fairly self-propelled. It is perilous to overly encourage such mechanisms to be established.

    The children could get badges to wear on their uniforms to show their compliance with dietary guidelines. Badges that would give them the right of way in public and on the public transport system.

    Yes, you can see where this is going. Don't mind my /s.

    Yes, but the Apple App store does not distribute apps that will run on any of my equipment.

    Me, I prefer the action I take when I pull my ID out for a policeman to have nothing to do with my smart phone. There is really no reason for the police officer to know if I even carry one.

    The 'blacks count as a fraction of a person' law that you mention was actually a rule forced on the slave states by the non-slave states. The northern states didn't want blacks to be counted as a whole person because that meant more representatives would be apportioned to the states with lots of blacks in them. The southern states wanted blacks counted as a whole (non-voting) human.

    I am one of the non-zealots who is not a Tesla M3 owner at this point.

    Let's wait awhile for regular people to use it to find out if it's accepted.

    I only commute 2.7 miles to my new job. An electric bicycle is starting to seem attractive. A Tesla is out of the question.

    Have the IT goons fill the USB-C ports with epoxy. One-use disposable Macbooks, with the benefit that the keyboard won't jam before the battery fully discharges.

  16. I bought a new motherboard last year (an MSI 'gaming' motherboard) that still has PS/2 ports. Also headers for a serial and parallel port.

  17. Re: Idiocy versus deliberate espionage? on IBM Bans Staff From Using Removable Storage Devices (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    When my dad worked at IBM (from the mid 50s until the mid 80s) IBM had a full employment policy. They could not lay off employees, and any time a location was closed they had to relocate and find a new position for all employees at said location. At some point in the 70s they started contracting out parking lot attendants at their offices because until that point IBM employee parking lot attendants were reloated at company expense when necessary. My father got out (retired at 55) right before the culture at IBM changed from the old ways.

    The problem is, you can do those things, but the typical IT type will poop a lump if they find out about it, and they are ignorant yet ruthless enough to make life uncomfortable. Big stupid dogs can seem funny, but they can also have a nasty bite.

    Maybe it only has a Zip drive. I am sure there was at least a short period of that kind of inanity at at least a few Instrument makers. I've seen Tektronix 'scopes that run in Windows 98.

  20. It's okay, the guys at the impound lot are really careful.

  21. Hillary has a law degree... (handy, for whenever Bill is disbarred)

  22. You probably also have OTG available on your Android. This is nice because it allows you to plug USB thumb drives in through an OTG dongle.

  23. You're supposed to buy those little crunchy ear pood things and step on them every so often (they have curved glass loan payments to make) They're blue tooth (kinda. It's special blue tooth)

  24. Re:Small bump on Apple's iMac Turns 20 Years Old (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple spent many millions of dollars trying to implement 'the next generation Mac OS' (Taligent, Pink, butt-headed-astronomer, etc.) using their much vaunted 'software methods' and resident dogma at Cupertino. It went nowhere very expensively, Finally, when they had failed, NeXT bought the company and ported in their Unix variant. At the time NextStep was very portable, running on 68K, SPARC, PA-RISC, Intel x86, etc. Naturally under the Apple flag they shitcanned almost all of the portability, saving some bits of it for various mono-platform shifts of the future.

  25. Apple customers need very simple choices. I learned that when I bought a Mac Plus. (The sound the disk drive made while ejecting was kinda cute)
