    Netflix Executives Address Price Hike

    If you want netflix to survive, you have to be okay with this price hike. They have negative cash flow, that means they are losing money ("profits" are meaningless)

    Why does someone else care so much if Linux is not used as a host OS?

    Microsoft's 1st operating system was unix prior to dos and it was in-fact the most popular unix of its day, just as an interesting FYI. and just as an FYI i think linux is trash, but most of what people argue about with linux vs windows vs anything else is crap i don't care about and i dont...

    Equifax Website Hacked Again, Redirects to Fake Flash Update

    I don't think any regulation can fix this problem. I can't think of one that will either A. keep data safe or B. I can't get around (doesn't mean it doesn't exist, just saying i can't figure one out). I think the only way to fix this is liability laws and then banning SSNs for any other purpose...

    Some bad news

    I get what your saying but we all know its going to drop back down, the outlook timeline companies use is just to short for AMD to really fix itself. I've always bought AMD really low and sold at over 100% profit except for this last time (i told too early). I totally think its utterly...

    New Encryption Legislation Coming?

    I'm an old man myself so i'm going to try to break this down without the hyperbole. 1. the government doesn't make you add a lock that they have a master key to to your door. You let them in or they break the door down. You don't give them a key to come in whenever they want. 2. by the same...

    Windows 10 is not adopting linux features, it is running a virtual linux kernel. That is a big difference.

    Is Mozilla Supporting Antifa?

    separate entry for the second part, i get why you brought it up and even though i'm so far right i consider every single politician with an R next to their name to be a communist, i agree with your summation and its impact and am not a fan of it.

    Is Mozilla Supporting Antifa?

    that is a problem, your saying the ends justify the means, which have been used to justify some of the greatest injustices in history. At some point doing the wrong thing for the right reasons will come back to haunt you.

    Tesla Is Sending Battery Packs to Storm-Ravaged Puerto Rico

    Statehood wouldn't change anything for the better for them except an increase in federal welfare benefits. Their taxes would increase massively (they have a 30% income tax, plus sales tax, now add federal taxes) and they are still subject to the jones act which massively jacks up prices and they...

    I stand on the companies should be able to do whatever they want with their property, that being said that isn't what this is about. Those arguments are not even about the same thing. What cloud flare did is said we will not moderate our customers in anyway and shouldn't incur legal liability...

    2 dollars a month is still high if your only watching for one show. Think of it this way. I can buy HD BlueRay of a season of GOT for 27$. as 2$ a month that is 24$ a year to rent it. It just doesn't work and is literally the only show on CBS i'd even think of watching. Plus now they are...
