    Act like an adult and stop injecting your political ideology into your comments.

  2. Re:This will be quickly squashed. on The US Government Wants To Permanently Legalize the Right To Repair (vice.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Go away, political troll.

  3. Re:Don't smile at the camera on Facial Recognition Is Coming To US Airports (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure nobody is at Guantanamo who wasn't captured actively engaged in armed conflict with the US. Nobody is being whisked off there by the DHS, or any domestic US law enforcement agency.

    I suppose if you're into Alex Jones level conspiracy theories, you could prove me wrong.

    An IBM 650 would be a more interesting choice.

  5. VirgonMobile USA: Please Unlock My Android on Virgin Mobile Becomes World's First iPhone-Exclusive Carrier, Offers Year of Service For $1 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I have an Android Galaxy J3 on Virgin Mobile. My monthly charge recently was reduced to $35 for unlimited voice and about 4G of data. It's a reasonable plan that I hope to continue.

    If Virgin is going to stop supporting my hardware, I hope that they will unlock it so I can use it on another carrier.

    The government could even set up dispensaries and a fleet of trucks to shovel the necessary lime into the ditches.

    Do the lime shovelers get an extra stipend for doing actual work?

    Probably we could get some Greek economists to work on the issue.

    Keeping pay up to inflation.... drives inflation even faster. That's just how economics works.

    It would even out. If you can't afford to live where you are, you move. If you are forced to move and own property there you can no longer afford, you get a windfall on the sale of your home when you move.

    Ummm. Boo hoo.

  10. Who chooses to pay said CEO's million dollar salary? Certainly not the invisible hand of the market. No, his cronies make that choice.

    It doesn't matter if it's good or bad for Apple's customers. They will fall into position.

  12. Only Reskinned Safaru on Opera Slows Its Development On The iOS Platform (betanews.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The only thing third party developers are allowed to do is reskin Safari, so it shouldn't be a surprise if the entities who make good, even better, browsers on other platforms just drop out.

  13. My main browser in the desktop is Seamonkey. I use it on Windows, I use it on NetBSD, I would probably use it if I ran a linux desktop. I usually only run Chrome if I really need to access something on a url where noscript just won't allow it to load. Chrome is the throwaway browser I am not afraid to wipe and reinstall if I need to go somewhere that might be toxic.

  14. A lot of installers, even the driver installer for my graphics card, beseeches me to install Chrome.

  16. Attack Google and Microsoft? on Proposed Active-Defense Bill Would Allow Destruction of Data, Use of Beacon Tech (onthewire.io) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    So this bill empowers me to attack Microsofts and Googles servers to destroy my data that they have taken?

  17. I installed Interix on Windows 2000 back in... 2000. It was a whole POSIX subsystem including the gnu toolchain. It was originally made by Softway Systems but Microsoft bought them. So it was a product I paid money to Microsoft for. A product that included a complete gnu toolchain.

    It's the equivalent of a Chromebook but with Microsoft instead of Google.

  19. I once achived a command line on a Macintosh SE. I installed Gnu Emacs on it. The shell within Emacs gave me a command line with primative things like ls and cd.

    ... Chromebook market.

    Then if history is any indicator, they shut down.

  21. Probably there will not be a Windows 10 s installer usable in Virtual Box. 10 s is going to be like a Chromebook, pretty much embedded into the hardware.

  22. It has a rather expensive hardware dongle.

    Stingray wiretaps and stores all traffic in a locality. So its more like the agent wiretapping every phone in a ten block area.
