I'm a fan of the Alien franchise, but not such a fan I don't call out stupidity where it's deserved. I made it through two episodes before quitting in disgust. The outright idiocy on display in practically every scene had be wondering if the writers or director even knew the history of the Xenomorph at all.

Utter dreck, and later I understand they made the Xeno into a pet. Way to take one of the most terrifying creatures every unleashed onto the silver screen, and turn it into a puppy.

No way. This series, as well as the Predator franchise need to be buried.

If only it were possible. There are tons of bespoke software out there running major systems, that are win-only. I work in a gov't lab, we are windows-only and it's irritating but the software we use will not run under a VM, or WINE, it's straight win-only.

Sure, home use, Linux is there (almost) but business, at least ours, never.

it's because of all the telemetry baked-in to Windows, that is the cause of poor performance and battery life loss while asleep.

It would be interesting to run a be-bloated version of Windows on these systems, and see if it improves anything, or if the whole concept of Windows on a hand-held is a disastrous mess.

but has Netcraft confirmed it yet?

The *nix community has always been thus. I've seen it from the sidelines since the 90s. Only the phrases have changed, the holier-than-thou attitude never has, and probably never will.

Sorry, didn't realize you wanted a list of EVERY CEO who isn't a bad person. I'll do better to live up to your impossible standards next time.

The fact that other CEOs exhibit psychopath tendencies is not relevant. This discussion is about Steve Jobs and what a terrible human being is was.
But to name a good CEO, I"d go with the guy who runs Arizona Ice Tea.

Hope it crashes and burns in a spectacular fashion, and serves as a warning sign to the rest of Hollywood.

Adult Burmese will survive a cold snap as long as it warms back up. If you are talking about a real winter style extended cold, then yes they are history, but FL doesn't get those (yet...)

The /. synopsis reads like every original dot com bubble bankruptcy (man I miss fuckedcompany dot com, great insight form the people who were there) statement.
"We grew too large too fast, but this restructuring will allow us to emerge stronger than ever!"
Less than a year later they were just another footnote in the every-growing pile of stupid/failed dot com companies.

Where is the +1 "Terrifying thought" mod when you need it?

I made this Slashdot account 20 years ago when signing up for anything pretty much guaranteed you'd be spammed to Hell and back. I merely presumed Slashdot would do the same thing.

VPNSecure.

I too bought a "lifetime" VPN from them through Slashdot deals. Started off great, then one by one they shut down their nodes til only 5 eyes locations remained. By that point I'd switched to something else, but they sent out a long "woe is us" e.mail explaining why lifetime didn't mean that and if you'd be so kind as to buy it again at ~20$/year, we'd be ever so grateful.

That's pretty bad that my 1985 Alfa Romeo GTV6 lasted longer than your Ford. I got 250k before it needed major work.

Our gov't windows 11 images, provided by an outside private company, will BSoD if you look at them sideways. Not Windows 11 fault to be clear, but a bad image (and the company is slow to admit fault, much less fix this issue) and it's a daily issue here.

Very frustrating.
