Man killed in gruesome Tesla autopilot crash was saved by his car's software weeks earlier

Terminator

All or nothing

For autonomous cars to be successful, all the vehicles on the road have to be autonomous, so they can communicate with each other and be predictable, computers don't like unpredictability, humans behind the wheel are very unpredictable.

'I urge everyone to fight back' – woman wins $10k from Microsoft over Windows 10 misery

And yet they keep using Micro$oft shit

Stocoholm Syndrom perhaps?

Beer delivery to your door

There's a liquor store in my town, a guy with a motorcycle is getting rich delivering beer and snacks on weekend nights, specially rainy ones. UberBooze perhaps?

I know for certain what software-defined storage is. It's the new black

Meh

Mainframe + dumb terminals

It's the way it started and it's the way it should have stayed, thank Microsoft for the past 3 decades clusterfuck; and thank Amazon for the cloud and bringing back some sanity to the computer world.

The Microsoft-LinkedIn hookup will be the END of DAYS, I tell you

Good, it was time for LinkedIn to die already

Now, lets see if Microsoft can come up with enough money to buy Facebook and kill it, like it did with most of their purchases

Shhhh! Facebook is listening

If you are a facebook user you deserve this

One ad-free day: Three UK to block adverts across network in June

Back to the .gif ad days

If Ads can't be injected anymore, then website owners would probably go back to pushing ads like in the old days, in the form of a banner or a gif image somewhere on the webpage, the only affected parties would be ad services like Google, Facebook and the likes.

NetApp posts $8m loss as its pivot continues. Feeling comfy, George?

Exactly!!

NetApp just don't get it (or refuses to do so), that FlexPod alliance with Cisco was the bullet in the head for NetApp, they should've bought Nutanix when it was still cheap, instead they decided to marry with another shrinking company.

US work visas for international tech talent? 'If Donald Trump is elected all bets are off'

Re: “It's very bad for business, [..] unfair for our workers. We should end it.”

Agree, also, having to pay $170 to apply for a visa without a refund if you get denied because they reached the daily quota of issued visas. I would rather go somewhere else.

What is Hybrid Infrastructure? Glad you asked...

Have you noticed that almost all hardware vendors are talking about going hybrid? You will never see the likes of HP, EMC, Dell, NetApp and so on, talking about going full cloud.

Hey, YouTube: Pay your 'workers' properly and get with the times

I hope those new "artists" get pirated to dead

With all the shit "music" that is being produced nowadays, I can only hope that those so called "artists" get pirated and starve to dead, or at least that they have no choice but find a damn job worth something.

Music is dead, the music labels and producers killed it, not YouTube.

The 'new' Microsoft? I still wouldn't touch them with a barge pole

Windows

Stockholm syndrome...

...also known as "Windows user" syndrome.

The main excuse for people using Windows is because of "manufacturer support", that means that if something is wrong with the software they have someone to blame and ask for a fix, something that never happens with Microsoft, they keep throwing out broken software to the masses and asking ridiculous amounts of money with even more ridiculous licensing limitations, and yet people keep throwing money at them with that imaginary manufacturer support in mind; there must be something that everyone is eating but me that is causing such hallucination.

I'm not affraid of my government snooping on me

I know the type of incompetent clowns that work on IT on lots of our government branches, first, they don't have the knowledge to come up with such thing, then, even if they did, they are so damn lazy that they wouldn't give a damn to come up with something like that, let alone keeping it online with a decent SLA.

It makes sense for banks and some other companies

A bank having a TLD could possibly help reduce phishing, nobody but the owner of the TLD would be able to create a ".somebank" fake domain.

Don't raise taxes...

Re: I voted no

Driving requieres A LOT OF ATTENTION, I take you have never been on a bicycle or motorcycle on the streets and witnessed all the stupid shit that distracted drivers do and put our lives in danger, maybe you are too distracted on your phone and haven't noticed yet how many incidents you have caused because of your reckless, selfish behavior.

Go give back your drivers license to the authorities, you are a danger on wheels for anyone around you, and you can use your bloody phone as much as you want in the bus.

nilfs2
Headmaster

Turn off the damn thing when driving!!

Problem fixed!! If you are not using your phone when driving, turning it off shouldn't be a problem for you, this way you will avoid getting a false positive when the police scans your device.

I'm all up for ways to punish distracted drivers, they kill a lot more people than terrorism, it is out of control, people think that a bloody text message or call is more important than the life of anyone around them, the ultimate act of selfishness.

If you get distracted with your phone when driving, I hope you fall off a cliff, get severely injured, and your family suffers a lot! That way you will face what the families of innocent victims of distracted drivers face.

I will take any downvotes as coming from distracted drivers.

Bundling ZFS and Linux is impossible says Richard Stallman

nilfs2
Childcatcher

That's why we can't have nice things

If we start bending the GPL license rules, it's just a matter of time until a precedent is created and the greedy companies start doing as they please with the code.

I support Stallman on this one, Ubuntu keep showing time and time again that they deserve to be kicked out of the Open Source community for doing stupid, selfish things with the open source software.

The numbers don't add up, still cheaper to go cloud or buy traditional servers + SAN/NAS.

Costa Rica launches investigation after reports hackers ‘rigged’ 2014 election

nilfs2
FAIL

Costa Rican here

In Costa Rica elections are not digital, we use good 'ol paper and ink, vote counts are made by hand by a group of delegates, you can't hack paper and ink, that's just a wannabe "hacker" looking for attention, and leftists found a good opportunity to show how butthurt they are because they got their asses kicked on the elections results.

Bash on Windows. Repeat, Microsoft demos Bash on Windows

Linux

So...

...when is Microsoft going to make Windows tools work on Linux just like Canonical is doing with Linux tools? This is not a "win-win, two ways" deal, more like "win-win, Microsoft way" deal.

This is like a relationship where one partner gives the keys of the apartment to the other, but the other refuses to do the same; Canonical should be banned from the Open Source community for doing such a stupid, selfish thing.

Big Brother

He did a service for the whole world

As usual, Yanks can't see further than their borders, he made a favor to the whole world, hence he is on my "Heroes" book; it's a shame to know why not more countries offered him shelter from the oppressive USA government that is spying on world plus dog.

IT dinosaurs...

...are what is holding the cloud's expansion from going faster, not just the "cloud unfriendly" IT vendors injecting FUD to customers, but IT people not liking other people doing it's job, usually better and cheaper, just like hipsters whining that books are better than ebooks and refusing to change.

Blah Blah blah ... I don't care! To hell with your tech marketing bull

nilfs2
Meh

There's more money invested on marketing...

...than invested on R&D and QA, that's for sure; and most of IT vendors make lots of money fixing their own mistakes and selling the same old products on a new package, that's what is called "innovation" nowadays.

The cloud is a threat for Gartner

I don't trust their opinion on cloud matters, they lose money every time someone moves to the cloud and stop paying them to research on what new piece of kit to buy.
