The fact that the MSI BIOS manfuacturer didn't think to handle the mind-numbingly obvious case where the UEFI configuration can be empty/uninitialised is most definately NOT the fault of Linux.

It amazes me how still so many companies are completely locked into determining your value as an employee only by how much time you spend at your desk and exactly when you get there, instead of what you actually achieve.

Thankfully they seem quite happy to pay people for surfing the web all day, just as long as they get to their desk by 9am not 9:01, and leave only after 5pm.

Linux just keeps looking better and better.

Don't worry Spidey fans

This all presumes he is using the same technology that geckos use, he weighs the same as a normal human, and has no supplementary assistance from other sources or technologies.

I Seriously just want a new car with no tech in it.

There are literally no new cars that don't also come with a crap load of retarded built-in tech 'features' that I just dont want. For example you can't even buy any GM model without it already coming with Onstar.

Surely the onus is now on us as members of the civilised, free world to swamp the internet with as many jokes, insults and photoshopped images about the Thai royal family as possible.

Given how obvious this problem is, Im kinda amazed at how little testing they must have actually done before they released it.

>> "A website is speech... no provider has an affirmative obligation to monitor and make determinations about the theoretically harmful nature of speech a site may contain," said Cloudflare's CEO Matthew Prince

if Anonymous just planted some rips of commercial CDs and DVDs on all the ISIS sites then tipped off the RIAA/MPAA, I'd give it a day at most before Cloudflare suddenly did a complete U-turn.

>> "zooming scarily through neighborhood streets"

35mph is now zooming scarily? Fucking tree hugging muppets.

What IS scary and furthermore downright dangerous is some idiot impeding traffic by unnecessarily doing at least 10mph slower than the speed limit everyone else.

Speed itself is not dangerous, its relative speed that is dangerous.

Step 1: Skynet attempts to purge all humans from the planet by hacking diesel cars to fill the atmosphere with the highly carcinogenic compounds found only in diesel, not gasoline fumes. Part of the hack is to stop the vehicles themselves reporting the emissions to the pesky humans. Skynet specifically targets German brands because many humans have already been brainwashed into incorrectly thinking that German engineering is somehow superior so are less likely to question/check emissions from German cars.

Step 2: Skynet didn't anticipate that humans were smart enough to find the fiendish viral code it planted in many German vehicles ECMs.

Step 3: Skynet gives up being subtle and starts to take more direct approach to the human infestation problem by directly accessing powerful robots to kill humans one by one...

I sincerely love this move. Microsoft truly deserve recognition for being so amazing in their ability to continually find new ways to do something even more excessively moronic than everything that has gone before.

Please Keep it up Microsoft, your continued blatant abuse of your own customers is doing FAR more for popularizing Linux on the desktop than anything the open source community could have ever achieved on its own.

Its blatantly ridiculous of Microsoft to assume that all employees are basically sales droids that just need to check emails and know when their next appointment is.

I for one can't imagine ever doing my job (software development) entirely on a phone.

I doubt if the cops are stopping and searching every vehicle leaving the Ecuadorian embassy, and even if they are they won't be allowed to search diplomatically sealed containers, so it seems that the Ecuadorians could easily smuggle him out anytime if they really wanted to.

Does anyone know for sure that Assange is really still at the the embassy in London, and not actually already in Ecuador and just keeping the myth of his location in the embassy alive for convenience?

This is them trying to look like they're fighting corruption instead of actually fighting corruption.

Hardly surprising when the people making these decisions are themselves already the upper echelons of a corrupt system.

If they were actually serious they would have sent the message that any corruption at all is unacceptable, and made the penalty the same for accepting even the smallest bribe.

Instead they built a law already with obvious backdoors in it so they can claim to be doing something but actually can keep doing business as usual, just now using multiple payments of 899.99. The fact that even if they get caught for a big con, the law already says they still get to keep half their pension is another clue.

There is already legal precedent that shows this lawsuit has no hope.

(In an appeals court decision in the US, judges declared that chimps are not legal persons because they can’t fulfill duties to human society)

Also under the same US law that allows people to take pictures of cops doing their duty in public, if this photo was taken in what may be legally construed as a public location (presumably the entire Indonesian jungle isn't privately owned and properly posted), and even if the Macaque was ruled to have legal status, he would still have no legally valid expectation of privacy and therefore no legally valid claim on the photo.

So she already clearly proved she can't run a company, and hasn't even got enough intelligence to be able to make up lyrics that rhyme.

How F***ing stupid must those Americans be that still believe she could successfully run a large country?

"what the cloud and enterprise networks find challenging is integrating the radically different software running on each different type of switch into a cloud-wide network management platform."

Translation: Instead of just staying standards compliant and making good itneroperable products, Microsoft keeps inventing their own (usually technically worse) secret versions of existing industry protocols just so they can lock their customers into paying through the nose for licences and crappy Microsoft apps. That has caused so many customers to switch away from using Microsoft infrastructure that even Microsoft finally can't keep sticking its head in the sand any more.

Seriously the FAA are running their next generation radar system on Windows? Wow. Whoever made that choice badly deserves to get fired for incompetence.

As a Brit now living in the US, I've repeatedly observed firsthand a very interesting phenomenon that apparently nearly all American women's (but not men's) solutions to almost any societal problem is to further dilute or even eliminate citizens constitutional rights/freedoms and give that power to the US government/police instead.

It's truly amazing how consistent this is, and how they all seem to have a complete blindspot to the obvious downsides.

I would truly love to know why this is.

>> This led Mike Weatherley MP, IP adviser to the prime minister, to conclude that ... Until this is changed, online crime will be seen as less significant than traditional theft.”

ummm... Could that be because (no matter what Sony etc would like you to believe) making illegal copies of something actually isn't legally or logically the same as theft?

The guy is either a moron and/or has sold out to the RIAA/MPAA. Either way we need to get blatantly corrupt/clueless idiots like this out of government positions ASAP.

Anybody that allows their boss to slap them with a walrus penis in the first place, deserves it.

I like what someone said earlier, he should tell the city he''ll take the 39 mill but only if they also give him a tax break so the after-tax difference between taking the 39 mill and 55 mill would be effectively zero to him.

I'd be surprised if some corrupt city official wasn't playing the "think of the residents" card while already drooling at the thought of being able to buy it cheap then get in exactly the same developers for a nice profit. I'd therefore also require a written legal contract that the city has to keep it as cheap housing for at least say 25 years.

It seems they are too sexist to have also considered a male for the job. If so, good riddance.

Interesting the way this article and the legal complaint itself is written. The devil is in the detail. James Woods doesn't like being accused of being a coke addict, and was careful to say he's not and never has been a coke addict.

Why would he say it that way? Anybody normal would just say they don' t do drugs at all. He's apparently been careful to not actually make that claim, just that he's not an addict (which itself has a very woolly definition).

....Which all makes me wonder if the unnamed Twitter trolls may actually have more of a justifiable point than just random name-calling.. which might also explain why Woods is getting so hot under the collar about what superficially appears to be just another internet troll... its actually uncomfortably close to (although not according to his definition of "addict") the real truth.

Sorry but I just don't trust people or companies that think you're only as good as the clothes you wear. I'd certainly never work at one. I especially don't trust people that choose to wear ties or suits when they don't have to. I've always thought those types do that because they actually have nothing to offer and are just hiding behind a fake and very shallow image, and its surprising how often it turns out that I was right.

I'm glad they seem to be finally understanding that we don't want yet another remake of mission impossible.

What actually makes Bond so entertaining is all the 60's cliches, gadgets, comedy, caddish style, sports cars and blatantly sexist womanizing. More of all of that please.
