Re:To fix L.A.'s traffic, we need tolls on Tuesday March 07, 2017 @06:50PM (#13816437)
Ok fountain and venice are not going to save anybody from the free ways. People know about side streets, they're not really that much help. This problem isn't going away just like the cities revenue problem which is the only reason this is happening.

So funny to read some of the marketing folks in this thread writing their stories and tooting their horns. Oh wow, I actually read "marketing is way harder than coding" I learn new things every day.
Oracle better stop fucking around. Larry's gonna learn a late lesson.
Re:Apple hires one of the developers behind Signal on Friday February 26, 2016 @09:25PM (#11185767)
I preferred when the software didn't suck and got out of the way. I preferred when they built truly world glass hardware with out of this world materials. I'll keep all the downvotes fuckers, no prob.

Things of all kinds went wrong after Steve left us. They've lost their way.

Does anybody see through these PR plays? They've unlocked many phones in the past for the government, they're protecting their technology and using the moral issue to look good at a time when they're still majorly losing their way. To me this looks like governmental appeasement. Shutting down Snowden and other's methods of private communications is a fantastic gift to the government who doesn't want more of that type of scrutiny and people talking about the NSA badly, there's already enough thinking they're a major problem. What perfect a guise to get it done under another companies name that also happens to be having a great PR week on the back of data they gave up or are going to give up anyway, they always knew that. I wish more people would think for themselves or at least consider why the script might not be reality. They hired him! What happened is a formerly non corporate secure, private form of communication is now... who knows what. Maybe the government just figured out how to deal with the next Lavabit and not deal with more backlash. Nobody trusts them right now, everybody seems to love this Apple letter PR play.
Re:Dear Skype/Microsoft: Problems with Linux client on Wednesday February 24, 2016 @07:57AM (#11166343)
Skype on linux is akin to taking fertility drugs on birth control. It's super dumb and always feels dirty for no reason. It installs 127 packages and then removes only 112, leaving me saying I knew this was a mistake so that I could waste 15 minutes with TopTal because they can't get on a hangout. Skype is owned by the original nerd's evil empire what do you expect. Never should have tainted my system...
Re:How Wired Is Going to Handle Ad Blocking on Tuesday February 09, 2016 @12:52AM (#11063403)
It's funny to see amongst all the stock market rout how companies that are (now) subservient to the markets have to react to a down market caused by other bullshit than journalism. The lesson here is Wired, stay true, don't fucking sell to Conde Nast and remain TRULY independent like real journalists should so you don't have to fucking suck dick for money when the big old bullshit tech bubble starts to burst.

Re:Unreal Engine in JavaScript/HTML5 – Citadel demo on Thursday May 02, 2013 @10:20PM (#5648480)
Why do you even need this engine when the beautiful physics of the Quake 3 engine already have roots in HTML5? You do not, that's the answer.
