Comment Re:Important when updates ARENT wanted. (Score 1) 157

He bought a car with the ability to blind oncoming drivers. This is illegal. The manufacturer fixed the car so it now meets regulations. If he still wants to blind oncoming drivers, there is a thing called "high beam" which he can use whenever he wants... just hope that it's not a highway patrol he's blinding.
Your computer analogy is stupid... how about a car analogy?

OMG! The geniuses at /. have again come up with something that I'm sure no automotive software engineer has ever considered.
Quick! Call the auto companies and tell the they are about to make a big mistake. I'm sure they will thank you profusely.

My Macbook Air 2010 worked fine with wifi until I "upgraded" to Yosemite... since then very flaky wifi... spontaneous disconnects, only connects on wake about half the time. I've tried a lot of the "fixes" on the forums and still have problems. Most of the time I have to reboot to get it to connect reliably (until it goes to sleep).
Yosemite also features a crappy UI and Spotlight has lost much of its usefulness. Apple's software is going down hill fast. No more "upgrades" for me.

Comment It doesn't matter what people think... (Score 3, Informative) 458

Politicians don't pay attention to voters. They follow the money. Koch et al who are making big bucks from fossil fuels control the politicians.
You can find similar polls on other topics... gun control, health care, education, etc. Politicians vote for the policies of their donors.
The US has the most corrupt political system... it's really fascism where the corporations and the rich control the government.

"Why? Well, a couple of reasons. First, if you're like me, your hand will be on the mouse a lot causing it to be warm. Second, mice get abused and break too easily."
I think you're doing it wrong.
Stop abusing your "mouse" and it won't get warm and break.

Comment Re:Heard of Keurig? (Score 2) 70

I had a Keurig but got tired of buying expensive coffee that was ground and packaged months (years?) earlier... especially once they started raising the prices of the pods. I gave the machine away and replaced it with a good coffee grinder, an AeroPress (and a nice pump espresso machine)... much better coffee and much cheaper. The AeroPress is just as fast (if somewhat messier) than the pod machine.
