  1. I'm more interested in the Pinebook, really. on Litebook Launches A $249 Linux Laptop (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They buried the lead. The article mentions a much more exiting low-end ARM64 laptop called the Pinebook. Does that actually exist yet, or is it still vaporware? Anyone seen/touched one in the wild?

  2. Re:There's one insurmountable downside for me. on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Review By Ars Technica (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Did you miss the part about his whole post implying that BotW is indeed such a game? And note that he didn't even actually say whether he bought a Wii-U or not, he merely implied that it wasn't worth it. Guys like you and him spend so much time talking about how much they don't want to buy Nintendo stuff I''d really think it'd even eventually become obvious to even yourselves that you doth protest too much.

    And you're a pathetic paid astro-turfer troll who can't find better work in the 3rd world shithole he lives in. I just have one question... who is paying you so much to astro-turf over Nintendo news all the time? Is it Sony? Microsoft? Who is really this afraid of them? Your actions speak of desperation - not your own desperation, mind you. The desperation of your betters. The mystery men in 3-piece suits who pay the people who paid you to shill here today. Who are they? I promise if you tell me I'll refrain from hazing you for your next THREE whole shill posts.

    Just as an FYI this game is also being released on the Wii-U. So you don't actually have to choose between buying a Switch or missing BotW. That's a false-choice dichotomy.

    It's worth exactly the same. Your hand-crank battery charger and DC powered computing device however just got a lot more valuable.

  6. Re:what really concerns me is on Yahoo Says Forged Cookie Attack Accessed About 32 Million Accounts (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh please, they knew all along. They just never expected anyone else to figure it out. Do you really think "nation state" actors are the only ones smart enough to reverse-engineer a security system that relies on the user's own password being one-time encrypted into their own session cookie as a load-alleviation feature? That also includes site-wide admin accounts? Please. There's no way that the list of "third parties" doesn't include their own current and former engineers and management staff. By the way, this is how PSN got hacked too.

  9. Now if they can just invent a delivery driver that doesn't steal your shit.

  10. Let me help you read between the lines. Verizon knew all along. They have no intent of letting that foreknowledge scuttle the deal, but they have to keep up public appearances, so they work out a "discount" cover story.

  11. Re:So it's going to fail on Valve 'Comfortable' If Virtual Reality Headsets Fail (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, what he's saying is they make a tidy profit on every single one of those 700$ face-huggers. It makes no difference whatsoever if not a single more were ever sold. It was already a success.

  12. I'm just gonna come right out and say it. There's no fucking way this news is real. That typo is the proof.

    Why was THIS modded down? This would actually work... to some degree, if you had all the ad networks in there and didn't visit any malicious sites. (At least as far as for the *JavaScript* vector that is.)

    Sigh. Fanatical children using json&jquery who don't know any better, modding you down like good little sheep. Someone has to stop giving them mod points.

    Okay, fair point but I just meant "how can we eliminate that source of cancer?" As a follow-up question, would it retard photosynthesis or any other critical biological processes?

    Nope. They won't blame their precious 5$ web hosts. Instead, for some reason I still struggle to grasp, they will instead blame the web coders they didn't hire, who warned them not to use WordPress in the first place, as well as "all versions of PHP itself," regardless of host configuration.
