Sounds great, really, but it didn't work once when I tried to put up well-reasoned arguments. Why would I follow guidelines any further when everyone seems to interpret them as they well damn please? So, basically 'upvote' is

Isn't this upvote-downvote thing somehow linked to confirmation bias? I'm getting downvoted for having issued an opinion which opposes that of the others? This sounds so horribly wrong to me...

Dead, finally? ..Ow, damn, false alarm! Just another vile article :(

It seems like Russia's tech is having innovation spikes here and there, but it just seems so. I haven't seen any original ideas in that documentary. Everything is a copycat of some idea someone else had in Europe or in the America

Basically, Microsoft shares Windows 10 telemetry data to other companies, despite assurances that this never will happen.

Yeah, that's why it's called a rant.

That's what Microsoft should learn: People say they worked in the bathroom, or had meetings on lunchtime, when in fact they shouldn't. Keep your work at bay, keep your work at work. Otherwise it puts you in the grave. Now, Micro

Yeah, it's messing with you, don't believe everything it says.

You sure it doesn't make you just think that it recognised you? Do you have all the same ID and the "achievements" in both? I started in Safari, switched to Chrome and the script said "Welcome Back" although everyth

FOSS is a "thankless vocation" because it chose to be that way. Everyone who expects a thank you is an idiot and doesn't understand how people work . Linus Torvalds created the Kernel not for the thanks. His intention was th

That's the most common fallacy within the Linux community. I use Linux to do something else and contribute there. Wasn't that the intention behind Linux? Provide a common OS to create and contribute different things? I do not use

Yepp, that's where the argument goes. "It's for free, don't complain!" Well, now that my projects depend on something that I took for granted, I agree that's my own fault. Next time I'll think before choos

Yes, there is. The latest Powermacs. Hey, Debian! I have a suggestion! Drop everything except amd64! Who needs all the other crap anyway! Not even ARM, that's crap too!

Well, okay, I admit. That they finally decided to build own hardware IS brave (it's very expensive) and I think they will have success if they find consumers who need it. The Surface line still lacks streamlined designs, the products f

There are two ways handling registration processes. One way is to develop a registration system as little as possible, but then hoping not to deal with the papers later, because of the mess made in the process. Or, you develop a system thor

I ditched my academics career and went into public service. I expected to do actual science, instead I ended up studying bad papers which cost huge piles of money. I feel sorry for the naive and the burnt-out young academics. Potential wast

That's exactly the point. If their existence doesn't change anything, why do they exist? Extra control, transparency? But no extra functionality for/with the hardware? So, why the alternative?

Oh, nothing, everything is just perfectly fine .

While I agree that most BIOS and/or UEFI installations are just... unacceptable, I don't think that a replacement will do just fine. The initialisation process should be as streamlined as possible, but allow as much control as pos

Limited resources and means, you know, promote creativity. Programming a modern standard computer nowadays is quite available to average Joe and Jane. That's why we have tons of crapware. But, forcing them to program a less common, sop

Does anyone here even use Yahoo's products or services? I wonder why Yahoo is still significant and why there are stockholders dumb enough to stay. Yahoo is a sinking ship, imho.

I always thought that making physics more complicated made physics potentially more wrong. But then I read "Microsoft Station Q" in the article. Go figure. If there is "Microsoft" on it there is a flaw in everything.

It seems to me that digital piracy has different qualities. Making a copy without permission is stealing. Distributing copies without permission, but for free isn't as bad as actually reselling them without permission, or is it? The sa
