  1. If you want to skip creimer's referral bonusyou can buy that book at abe.com for $3.48. Always check first at ABA, which is an online database of independent used book resellers.

  2. Not if you're an eartquake it isn't.

  3. Re: Not up to the FCC on Group Files FCC Motion To Delay Net Neutrality Proceedings (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    But enforcing law and establishing law are two different things. You can't just mumble them into being the same thing. Laws should not be made by unelected bureaucrats.

  4. Re: I am become death, the destroyer of worlds on Nest Founder 'Wakes Up In Cold Sweats' Fearing The Impact Of Mobile Technology (fastcodesign.com) · · Score: 0

    The article, and his concerns, were not about Nest, or home control devices at all. Did you just read 'Nest' in the title and pull the ripcord on your rant engine?

  5. When he said "we", he did not mean himself and a hamster he keeps in a pocket. Get a clue, he meant the whole tech industry.

  6. We are not engaged in a land war against Russia in Syria right now. I think that means Clinton didn't win.

    Those guys who wanted to build that pipeline across Syria (the real reason a lot of globalists wanted a regime change in Syria) must be sweating bullets at this point.

  7. The guy expressed some fears about his kids, and you try to turn it into a discussion about a bunch of gadgets? Way to miss the point.

  8. Is It Still 1997?? on Ask Slashdot: How Safe, Really, Is Paying For Things Online? · · Score: 1

    What kind of a stupid fear mongerint topic is this? I mean, really? Somebody's aunt worries about this.

    Without padding and a box it is a hazard to the other items in the shipping center.

    You're just mad because your Mac Pro doesn't have a PS/2 port on it.

  11. Re: Windows App Store on Stream-ripping Is 'Fastest Growing' Music Piracy (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There are strings that attach you to that app repository just like any other. We all get to pick our own strings. Ain't life good?

  12. I have a stack of the original IBM XT keyboards in the storeroom. They are PC-XT, so will not work on newer ('286 and up) machines. And they are 83 key so do not have the number pad. They mate up nice to the stack of original PC-XT machines in the same room. ( no XT clones allowed, though there is a stack of salvaged clone motherboards.)

    When I click the download button it drops the video file in My Videos. I didn't have to fuck with any code or change or configure anything. Since I found an app that cost $1.99 it doesn't fuck with me, throw up pop-ups or banner ads. I like $1.99 apps that have no strings attached.

    Believe me, I used to do things like recompile kernels to get my Sound Blaster 16 to work. I got over that in about 1998, though.

  14. Re: Correction... on Qualcomm Seeks To Ban Imports And Sales of Apple iPhones in New Lawsuit (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple has asked their suppliers to not pay the Qualcomm royalties any longer.

    most the users who don't have a Mac want a Mac and those who have a Mac want an upgrade

    That's the way it goes. They think that somebody, somewhere out there has a good Mac.

  16. Re: But why? The quality MUST suck... on Stream-ripping Is 'Fastest Growing' Music Piracy (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    My mp3 player has a burnished walnut knob.

    I know the difference between an integrated amp and a "receiver."

    But that Grateful Dead you listen to with your pristine Dynaco amp and vintage Klipsh speakers was originally recorded on cassette.

  17. Windows App Store on Stream-ripping Is 'Fastest Growing' Music Piracy (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I bought an app last night in Microsoft's Windows App Store to rip content from YouTube. It isn't underground and you don't need to even use dubious apps or warez anymore to rip.

  18. Too fucking nuanced. Nobody can figure out what you meant to say.

    Nested sarcasm is a bad idea. Jus stop dumping it in text boxes and clicking "submit". Please.

  19. Re: Both jobs and unemployment up? on 222,000 Jobs Added To US Payrolls In June; Unemployment Rate Rises To 4.4 Percent (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Those were the old "new rules." A Republican is now President and the bureaucrats who measure these phenomenon have need to adjust their methods.

    Obamacare taxes the whole economy in myriad ways. That you can't see this reflects more on the propaganda your Masters feed you than anything else.

    HR types not being blood-let and piled into trenches is a big part of the problem.

    The revenue stream from the government using it to attach to sexual offenders would bankroll the whole business.

    Pikachu! I choose Apple's worth on paper!

  24. Fitbit did this with Pebble. Why shouldn't their competitors get to do it too? Silly Valley is a special place with unicorns and the old rules do not apply there anymore.

    Historically, for participants in general on Slashdot the details are very interesting.

    However a lot of boingy-bouncy millineals have infested Slashdot in recent years. Also many IT types (they took that in school. It was supposed to get them a good job!)

    This new type of Slashdot denizen is more concerned with what is trendy in 'tech'. Sadly the site itself has now fallen under the ownership of this new (new to Slashdot) type of people.
