Comment Re: 'Net Nanny' with criminal consequences? (Score 1) 22

From the article: "promotion of self-harm online, extreme pornography and cyber flashing." It also says this needs to be proven by Ofcom that the executives didn't try and stop children from seeing it, so honestly this isn't going to do anything and just makes people feel like they made a difference.

Comment Snakeoil (Score 1) 51

When building my current high end PC I had a pretty good budget (Thanks to unlimited overtime at work that year) and although I noticed a day and night improvement in upgrading my old SATA2 hard drive to an SSD when I shelled out for my 256GB M2 950 pro I haven't noticed once any improvement that makes me glad I spent the extra money. I know about the thermal issues and such but I just notice a time where that 2.5GB/sec speed comes in use to just a standard SSD. Has anyone else noticed this or was the 960 pro the one I should have waited for?

Comment Mint (Score 1) 510

I've tried a lot of distros in my time including Arch and Gentoo and while I can get them all working there is something about Mint that just works out of the box and I'm finding now I'm older I actually like that in my computer. My real advice here though is just be prepared to switch from time to time and see what works best for you.
