Omnius··on Twitter’s head of diversity is leaving and its chief HR officer has already left
Why should the motivation matter?
Omnius··on An Anonymous group has taken down a major dark web hosting service
I don't follow. If you go looking you have issues. I have never been online and been like "hmm i should see what all this CP hype is all about".
Omnius··on LibreOffice 5.3.0
You also get several installs, cloud storage, and the IOS apps. I would buy it outright for home but for my users in the office the subscription model works great.
Omnius··on Reddit bans Alt-Right Group
I have no problem with them being in the streets screaming there message. In fact i prefer it then its easy to spot the crazy. For a private company like reddit i don't blame them at all for shutting them down. Even if reddit leans left (i am a libertarian) its there site/company they can do what they want. If people don't like it they will move elsewhere. I agree with you private companies and citizens shouldn't have to tolerate this non sense in the name of free speech.
Omnius··on Split Brain Does Not Lead to Split Consciousness
The outcomes of historical, national, sporting events are not subjective. It would be easy to check and verify even if you couldn't do it that second you could still after the fact check and call out anyone pretending. With or without the exact identical text the "memorizer" used.
Omnius··on Anthropologists Uncover Art by (Really) Old Masters–38,000 Year-Old Engravings
Agreed and although it should be obvious the other thing that blows my mind is that the intelligence is exactly the same only the base knowledge starting point differs.
Omnius··on Windows 10 has alerts to encourage Firefox users to use IE
Every time i am on battery i get an Edge popup telling me how much battery i could save by using edge instead of chrome.
Omnius··on Clicking pdf link opens it in application without asking to save it
Maybe i'm not following but if you disable the plugin, and tell it not not automatically open the pdf it still just opens it in the native reader. Any exploits in the document will run.

Assuming i am not misunderstanding the issue that's a pretty big deal.

Omnius··on From Secretary to Software Developer: The Hard Way
Most trades can be taught to anyone i think programming requires a certain kind of mind set to begin with or but another way an already analytical thought process. It's why a lot of grads that jumped into the field to make tons of money have trouble with the actual work. I am not saying it requires a special snow flake but it does require abstract thinking and that can't be taught to everyone.
Omnius··on Developers’ side projects
+1 me too. I would love to here how you put it all together.
Omnius··on How to get started with DJing
Having to get two tech 1200, a decent mixer, headphones, and some monitors raised the entry level. Then you had the effort of having to learn to beat mix vinyl. Not hard but time consuming, for most, in the begining. Its weeded out the masses. Now the tech has taken the learning curve out and i am not saying thats good or bad but its why there are a million "producer" "Dj's".
Omnius··on Dear Democrats, Read This If You Do Not Understand Why Trump Won
Trump's election != racist america. I voted Johnson because i couldn't stomach voting for trump and there was no way i was going to vote for Hillary. The Dems could have run literally ANYONE other then her and they would have had an easy win.

Same goes for the Rep's they could have run anyone (well maybe not cruz) other than Trump and had an easy win against Hillary.

Anecdotally i know many people that voted for Trump and not one of them was happy about doing it.

This election the majority of voters on both sides voted against the other candidate verse for their candidate.

Omnius··on Stem cells shown safe, beneficial for chronic stroke patients
The study seems focused on just motor skill improvements. Was there work done to see if it helped with aphasia? Could this help aphasia?
