  1. Re:Other possibilities on Fourth US Navy Collision This Year Raises Suspicion of Cyber-Attacks (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    Could it be Larry Ellison? Has his yacht been seen in the vicinity, or is it docked inside his inactive volcano base?

  2. Re:So, in fewer words on Intel Launches 8th Generation Core CPUs (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    The punchline to the joke was the first time I visited my brother-in-laws house after he had bought an Athlon box. It was so loud I thought maybe he was running a Rocket Simulator on it.

  3. Re:Uh.. this isn't Debian on The Windows App Store is Full of Pirate Streaming Apps (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    You are simply an ideologue shilling your propaganda.

    It gets tiresome. Just settle down and enjoy using what you prefer and stop proselytizing to the rest of the world.

  4. Re:Windows 10 S on The Windows App Store is Full of Pirate Streaming Apps (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody really runs Windows 10S. It's the ChromeBook in the Windows universe. Some schools use it to restrict what their pupils can load.

    You shouldn't have tried to install Linux on your Lumia 635. Now it's buggy and unstable.

  6. Re:The what? "Windows Store"? on The Windows App Store is Full of Pirate Streaming Apps (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    So you're saying that even with giving Linux away for free, people prefer to pirate Windows.

    That's an odd thing for an advocate to be asserting.

    Agreed. I am glad that AMD exists, and I am glad that somebody else is willing to buy the AMD 'stuff.'

    But once you find the right place to insert a few NOPs ... ...they have introduced an update with a fresh new binary.

  9. My wife's car has a 'smart key' like that. I have been tempted to get the key duplicated in the 'dumb' variety, then grind or cut the key tip off the 'smart key' and do what you say, stuff the electronic part inside the housing.

    She hasn't lost the key, but there have been crises where her copy of it is lost.

  10. Re:While these guys are nutters.. on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    You elevate Che by calling him a mass murderer. He was a serial killer. So psychopathic a serial killer that they didn't really want him around in Cuba after awhile.

    Except, in this case, we're talking about literal Nazis.

    Not really. We're talking about some loons who figured out if they put on silly uniforms and act like they are Nazis, people will get mad at them. Certain particular people will get so angry that they will become just as physically violent as the people pretending to be Nazis.

    But you're free to elevate them by saying "yes, they are REAL Nazis."

    I liked the old look. So I run Seamonkey.

    Maybe we should send a team of experts to Venezuela to figure out how they print money so rapidly and efficiently.

    Those IOSs could become cheaper and cheaper all the time.

  14. Apple viewed the 'dead terrorist' case as a marketing opportunity. They got to say 'see, the gubbermint can't break in our phone' and the degree to which an outcry was raised about their refusal to cooperate in a terrorist investigation was to their benefit.

    Smarmy mf's. Always have been.

    "Apple makes things equivalent in quality to the rest of the marketplace. Apple works hard to differentiate by making little features and warts that make their product incompatible with the rest of the marketplace."

    Apple is good at marketing those things.

    One does not preclude the other, you know.

    If I want to know how to do something I go to youtube.

    If I want to know how to do something, I look really hard for a web page with written instructions. The last thing I want is to have to listen to somebody's idiot background music while they fumble around 'doing' something that could be described in a few bullet points.

    On that half day do you just go home early at lunchtime?

  20. WoW is free until level 20 and unless you are a rush-to-levelcap endgamer, that's the price it's worth.

    And even if you are said endgamer, go play an Arena eSport, because that's all WoW is these days.

    Cars are driven out of cities all the time.

    See subject line above.

    Or did this guy mean that he wants to force people to not use cars in the city? Maybe he needs to be driven off campus.

    An important factor in that is not siphoning off all the most skilled and ambitious people within the developing countries.

    That means, no H1B for you. Stay in your own country and develop it's economy.

    The big manufacturers who can afford the expensive 'Regulatary Affairs' staff will be delighted to be able to produce $139 toasters instead of $129 toasters if it make it impossible for any upstarts to get into the market. In fact, I bet they would happily form a Trade Association to sit on the project and keep meddlesome startups out.

  24. Re:Instead of Perimeter Security on US Senators To Introduce Bill To Secure 'Internet of Things' (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    But you can legislate greater security for wifi routers. You're right that you can't punish people for not doing something they shouldn't need to know how to do. They can even be marketed as 'more secure wifi routers' and I bet people will buy them. Plus cheap IoT devices to plug into them.

    Securing at the endpoint drives up the price of said endpoint devices. It creates a regulatory environment with a high barrier to entry for new businesses.

  25. Instead of Perimeter Security on US Senators To Introduce Bill To Secure 'Internet of Things' (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Instead of encouraging robust perimeter security and a well thought out security model, let's just require expensive and ineffective security on every single little thing.
