  1. Re:Like most of Earth's existence? on CO2 Levels Likely To Stay Above 400PPM For The Rest of Our Lives, Study Shows (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    Why are you bringing in facts to a political discussion?

  2. Re:what matters on DNC Hacker Releases Trump Opposition File (gawker.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    None of it matters. Her followers are willing to forgive any behaviour, no matter how crass, ignorant, or even downright evil. Hillary literally would be able, as he pointed out, shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and still get elected president. They just don't care.

  3. Re:FrAgile on Playing Politics With Agile Projects (cio.com) · · Score: 2

    Different development methodologies are appropriate for different projects. One size does not fit all.

  4. If this is such a great benefit for the consumer, then surely everyone will want to use one and making them "mandatory" is unnecessary.

  5. Switching cars from gasoline to diesel isn't going to make any difference.

  6. Re:Shut them down. on Iran Forces Messaging Apps To Move Data To Iranian Servers (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    The United States has shut down all financial transactions with Iran, but has not yet shut down message apps.

    You do have a valid point that the United States at "the push of a button" could shut down all Iranian use of message applications.

  7. Eastern Europe on Microsoft May Ban Your Favorite Password (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    If Microsoft really was interested in my account security they would ban any account access from Eastern Europe. I have no plans to ever travel to Eastern Europe while logs show that almost all the hacking attempts to my accounts are coming from Eastern Europe.

    If Netflix can do it, why can't Microsoft and LinkedIn?

  8. Re:What sensitive data? on LinkedIn User? Your Data May Be Up For Sale (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Not everyone wants to make all their personal data on LinkedIn publicly available to everyone. Doing so makes you look desperate.

  9. Re:The outcome on How the Pentagon Punished NSA Whistleblowers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Obama's justice department never prosecutes senior members of his administration for criminal conduct. The only solution is to put Obama himself in jail.

  10. Re:They brought Snowden on themselves on How the Pentagon Punished NSA Whistleblowers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Nope. Snowden was not an employee he had no "whistle blower protection".

  11. watts/m^2 is more important than watts/$ for many applications such as those in space. The article did not mention which type of applications, if any, are targeted.

  12. Most "tech" jobs do not require any more skill than working at Wendy's.

  13. Re:Fortunately, Obama has orderd four new hydrodam on Renewables Fastest-Growing Energy Sources, Feds Say (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Obama will destroy any form of energy that does not require government subsides for crony corporations to exist.

  14. Re:Yet another XMPP hack? on WhatsApp Now Has a Desktop App, Available on Windows, OS X · · Score: 1

    You may have missed: "Google Abandons Open Standards for Instant Messaging"

  15. Re:And people want to bring this bullshit to /.?! on Inside 'Emojigeddon': The Fight Over The Future Of The Unicode Consortium (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    "murder" is an unlawful killing. Big difference.

  16. Re:Google Nails Them on Mozilla Seeks New Home For Email Client Thunderbird · · Score: 1

    Google wants to eliminate competition to gmail.

    People need to be reminded that Mozilla gets the largest share of its money from Google.

  17. Re:Surprise! on Mozilla Seeks New Home For Email Client Thunderbird · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is unsafe to view HTML emails from unknown sources.

  18. Re:Somewhat off-topic: embedding video in email on Mozilla Seeks New Home For Email Client Thunderbird · · Score: 1

    Nope. I don't want spammers send me videos. No video for me.

  19. The issue is that Google took Java and created something from it that isn't quite Java. Oracle believes Java code should be used for "Java".

  20. Re:Packets not all equal on Obama Is Threatening To Veto the GOP's Latest Assault On Net Neutrality (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Prioritizing packets can be done for both good and evil purposes.

  21. And, only time to take at most one picture.

  22. Re:Quality education, right there on Massachusetts AG Sues ITT Tech For Exploiting Computer Network Students (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Many years ago I worked with a mainframe that had no on/off switch. You had to go to a different computer and have that computer issue a command to the mainframe to turn on or off.

  23. Re:So what exactly is wrong about the "Taliban App on Taliban App's Publication Points To Holes In Google's App Review Process (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    Meanwhile, Google still allows Apps created by Israel. If Google was being even handed they would ban Apps both by the Taliban and by Israel.

  24. Re:So what exactly is wrong about the "Taliban App on Taliban App's Publication Points To Holes In Google's App Review Process (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    The Taliban asked for evidence that Osama had anything to do with 911 before they handed him over. The United States never supplied any evidence then or since that Osama had any involvement.

  25. Nope. The United States is leading the world in reduction in CO2 emissions.
