He will ignore whatever you say, otherwise his carefully constructed imaginary world might start to fall apart. Leftists are conditioned to ignore reality. He probably sincerely believes that the rioters are republicans. It saddens me that you have been moderated as "Troll", which no doubt will happen to my own comment.

It is a generational thing. It is much easier to watch stuff than to do stuff.

These days it shocks me to see kids and teens just mindlessly consuming stuff on their laptops all day. They don't code, play games, solve crossword puzzles, etc. They just use their computers to watch. They are the ones watching others play computer games, which, let's admit it, is both totally absurd and also sad.

They are slowly losing the qualities needed for doing things, which takes effort, dedication, concentration, overcoming adversity, etc, before you get to the payoff of being good at stuff and accomplishing things. It is not easy to even to learn to play Fortnite, but why even try...

Basically the next generation is doomed when we are no longer there to do their shit for them. I will be laughing from my grave.

This is absolutely false and I read you other comments on the subject as well. I am not sure whether it is deliberate, but what you are saying is absolute nonsense made to sound credible by inserting a random technical term like "pipeline" here or there. It is sad that the quality of posters on Slashdot has decreased to the point where laughable misinformation is moderated as "informative".

64 bit code might get slower because pointers occupy more memory. Frequently that is offset by more registers and smart encoding. End of story. What you are saying is wrong.

Comment The author is easily distracted (Score 5, Insightful) 267

I stopped reading when I reached the point of him complaining that the additional buttons in the login and lock screens are "distracting". That must be some kind of a joke - if your computer is locked or you haven't logged on, then you are not currently using it! How can you be complaining of it being distracting? Are you just staring at the lock screen? The problem with all these moronic reviews is that the reviewers don't actually use computers for a purpose other than reviewing. It creates an absurd situation where the reviews are not only useless, but laughable.

Absolutely! OpenSSL should have been written in Python. In fact I am starting a new fork of OpenSSL called PythonSSL - we will be rewriting the codebase in Python to finally improve the performance and get rid of the horrible looseness of the abomination called "static typing" and declaring your variables, replacing it with dynamic typing where bugs are impossible.

Pfffft. Who cares? Let's all hate Google. How dare a for profit company not give out everything for free? Those greedy bastards!

Oh, and Google stole all my personal information by showing me ads when I used the services they provide for free in exchange for showing ads. Google's evilness knows no boundaries!
