  1. Re:This says a lot about Linux... on Microsoft Asked To Compensate After Windows 10 Update Bricked PCs (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 1

    My guess is that you gave up with Linux in about 2001.

  2. Nautilus on GNOME 3.22 Desktop Environment Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wot? They added features to Nautilus? That is unpossible.

  3. Re:Egg on face? on Cisco Scrambles To Patch Second Shadow Brokers Bug In Firewalls (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Holy firewalls.
    I'll be here all week folks.

  4. Re:Laws and other stuff will take longer then 5 ye on Lyft Says Robots Will Drive Most Of Its Cars in Five Years (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Judges don't need new laws to make decisions. New laws may actually hamper them more than it helps. That is why they are called Judges. They judge.

  5. Re:So a guy that runs a ride sharing company. on Lyft Says Robots Will Drive Most Of Its Cars in Five Years (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Cheap taxis are dirty. Clean limo taxis are expensive. Lots of people want their own clean cars with some personal stuff permanently lying inside - sports gear, hats, gloves, umbrellas and more. Shared cars can't offer the same convenience.

  6. OK, but you don't think that keeping 999 spare printers in storage under your desk is a bit extreme?

  7. You almost made me snort my coke... The 'vent' they are talking about is a GoreTex vent. It lets air and water vapor through, but not liquid water. It helps to keep the inside of the phone dry.

  8. Re:No, they replaced it was a barometer on Apple Replaced the Headphone Jack On the iPhone 7 With a Fake Speaker Grill (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    They removed the jack to save a few million Renminbi. That's all. Not enough people used the jack, so it was dropped to lower the production costs. I have never used a cell phone jack and looking around me, it is obvious that there are lots of people that don't like to plug schtuff into their ears - the plugged ins are a small minority.

  9. Re:Religion as a category on Religion In US 'Worth More Than Google and Apple Combined' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    We need 'Electric Monks'. http://theelectricmonk.com/Ele...

  10. The broken window falacy on Religion In US 'Worth More Than Google and Apple Combined' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The 'beneficial' effects of religion is similar to Frederic Bastiat's 'Broken window falacy'.

  11. Hispanic is sexist. How must the Herspanics feel about it?

  12. It's OK, O'l Timmie makes up for the gender problem.

  13. It may be very tough to find a blue, but you forgot the greens.

  14. Re: Screw you! I have hazel eyes! on Apple's Response To Diversity Criticism: 'We Had a Canadian' Onstage at iPhone 7 Event (mic.com) · · Score: 1

    I have green eyes, which is an even smaller minority than hazel eyes, you insensitive clod.

  15. Do you know that there are more Irish in America than in Ireland? Hint: They don't speak Irish, Gaelic or even English.

  16. Re:Biggest effect will be on nearby Best Buys on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    ...and you left out the $75 Fedex/UPS delivery charge on your purchase.

  17. Re:Biggest effect will be on nearby Best Buys on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and then you pay UPS/Fedex $50 for delivery after saving $5 on the price?

  18. What Ireland can do is to make all corporations pay 0.0005% tax - retroactively. I'm sure all other Irish companies will be more than happy with that.

  19. "EU isn't suing my country (Finland) for offering a tax deal to a chinese company" Not yet, but thanks for the tip off.

  20. Nope, you are missing the point. The EU haven't changed the laws. What Ireland did was illegal. Not Apple. Ireland.

  21. Wolfram Tones are pretty good.

  22. Suspicious figures on 10 Percent of the World's Wilderness Has Been Lost Since 1990s (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    Antarctica alone is 14 million square kilometers, so the hysterical figures were obviously obtained the 'traditional way'.

  23. Nukes are obsolete on North Korea Conducts Fifth Nuclear Test -- The Largest One Yet (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Nukes are so 20th century. Precision weapons are much more useful. Somebody should send O'l Kimmy the memo - obviously he never got it.

  24. Re:Dumbest rivalry ever on Google Uses Surface Books To Show Off Chrome Battery Improvements (windowscentral.com) · · Score: 1

    Uhuh - turn Siri and Bing off and the thing will run 24 hours.

  25. Re:Sony's always done this on Sony's Signature Walkman and Headphones Are $5,500 of Ridiculous (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Ayup. At least it is more useful than a Faberge egg.
