Re:She Gave a Hotel a Mediocre Review. Then Came the Badgering on Monday December 18, 2023 @11:18PM (#38691752)

Amazon seems to encourage this. I ordered a pair of cheap wireless headphones that were highly rated. I get them and they are crap. But, included in the package is a flyer offering an Amazon gift card for more than I paid for the headphones if I gave a 5-star review. My integrity is worth way more to me that that. So I leave a one-star review with a picture of the flyer, hopefully someone else will see that and realize the reviews are fake. Amazon rejected my review because it didn't meet their guidelines since it mentioned "Reviews given in exchange for cash, discounts."

Re:GitHub Import Statistics on Friday June 15, 2018 @04:23PM (#17323224)

This is exactly my worry.

1. Embrace Git by buying Github

2. Extend Git, fork git to add Github specific features (Basically integrate https://hub.github.com/ directly into git)

3. Extinguish, by gradually making Github incompatible with the original git. Then stop development on the forked git and push everyone to a proprietary product.

Re:Fiat Chrysler pushed a UConnect update that causes constant reboots on Wednesday February 14, 2018 @04:14PM (#16379438)

I wonder it they will be able to fix this OTA, or will require a trip to the dealer. How can you perform a firmware update on a system rebooting every 45 seconds?

The writers of "World War II" are Shakespeare compared to the writers of "2016 US Election."
