your signature is a call for the complete genocide of the Jews, right?

Here's an Israeli using the term as it is usually understood so-as to remove the straw man you've neatly planted:

It's a curious attempt to paint a slogan calling for freedom for Palestine as genocidal when they are actually victims of genocide committed by Israeli Attack Force.

It's really hard to convince the world you're a potential victim of the thing you're actually doing to others.

These driver crashes on Windows typically lead to having to reinstall/"repair" Windows.

Nah, literally something that hasn't happened to 99.99% of users in the past 20 years.

I've been doing this for 30 years as well, and you're full of crap.

Well there's your problem. Stop using Windows ME. It's very clear that if your windows is breaking to the point of needing a reinstall / repair and it's a "frequent occurrence" then my unfortunate sir, *you* are the problem. Not even TFA is talking about that.

Windows has been pretty damned stable since Windows 7 was released, that's 2009 for anyone not paying attention. Microsoft changed it so that one bad driver can't crash the entire OS.

Seems Apple is going all out with the paid propaganda of late... Because there's no way they're cheaper. If anything keeping hardware for longer makes it more expensive as you have to deal with more hardware failures, extended warranties, outages, et al. I suspect Apple is using very, very funny maths.

"Apple has never offered a product that justified a large chassis. It used to be lots of slots, hard drives and other storage that justified it. Macs have never been about that"

I see you don't remember the 68k Macs OR the PPC Macs. Apple offered machines with lots of slots ever since the Macintosh II line. HTH.

Comment How is the lack of govt information relevant? (Score 3, Insightful) 80

Assuming it's remotely true (and there's good reason for thinking it isn't), it still means the FBI director was negligent in their choice of personal email provider, that the email provider had incompetent security, and that the government's failure to either have an Internet Czar (the post exists) or to enforce high standards on Internet services are a threat to the security of the nation (since we already know malware can cross airgaps through negligence, the DoD has been hit that way a few times). The FBI director could have copied unknown quantities of malware onto government machines through lax standards, any of which could have delivered classified information over the Internet (we know this because it has also happened to the DoD).

In short, the existence of the hack is a minor concern relative to every single implication that hack has.
