  1. Skype is for kids. And not the smart kids either. The kids that think "Facebook is the internet" and the CD-ROM drive tray is a cupholder.

  2. Now under their 3rd independent corporate ownership. I notice there are a lot bigger ads and a lot less trustworthy advertising partners too now.

  3. Where were you with this argument when everyone is being a Windows10/Microsoft apologist?

    Actually probably just a bunch of petty Adobe lawyers getting entire useful projects taken down because the noobs writing the software didn't realize all those nice pretty fancy fonts shipped with Photoshop and Illustrator are not free for re-use.

    The safe harbor protections were already in place before the DMCA. All the DMCA did was weaken them, actually.

    Believe it or not, this comment section here on Slashdot existed LONG before the DMCA, which helped it NOT ONCE.

    Cool story, bro. Your talents are being wasted here.

    This amateur-hour shit makes me sick. Saved some money outsourcing your IT work to Pakistan, eh, fuckers?

    1) Analog audio cables need shielding from outside interference. Cheaper cabling is inadequately shielded. Digital signals are more resistant to minor interference.

    True only in theory. Numerous hardware-design and quality-control problems plaguing HDMI connections of different versions/cable qualities and the accompanying cost of getting a matching set of anything to work right prove this assertion to be completely false in practice. Didn't read any of the rest of your points because this one is fundamentally stupid enough to disqualify you from any expectation of rational discourse. Lemme guess, you work for Samsung, huh?

  11. Actual robots for actual chores? on Elon Musk's Open Source OpenAI: We're Working On a Robot For Your Household Chores (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We already have robots to wash our laundry and dishes and floors. What we really need are robots that can safely fold clean laundry, stack clean dishes, and load washing machines and dishwashers and take out the trash. Bonus points if they can also kill pests and act as a guard dog.

  12. You're forgiven, but just this once.

  13. Ah yes, back in the days when your sound card was a bonus feature of your disk drive...

  14. Yea, not only those but a rather large majority of the previous few generations of consoles primarily feature AMD/ATi hardware. I believe ATi video cards also held a significant marketshare of OEM PC installations before losing some contract with Dell to Intel.

  15. Spoken like someone who has agonized and studied every 3rd party benchmark ever posted to tomshardware or phoronix but never once tried to recreate one himself using something other than the Intel compiler.

  16. Except you're wrong because that "60%" you're talking about is those very same aforementioned illegally sabotaged benchmarks. In reality its 5-10% at most for any actually fair empirical or relevant real-world test.

    Finding a cure for either will violate His plan for the human race.

    Unless his plan is to test if we're stupid enough to believe that shit.

  19. Does it run Linux?

  20. Nintendo adopted support for a 3rd party mobile app called TVii that was little more than a glorified universal remote app with a built-in semi-accurate TV-guide style channel listing and ratings & commenting system, but then eventually scrapped it due to the 3rd party vendor being completely incapable of addressing very very poor service quality. I'm not sure but TVii may still be in business though and available for smart phones.

    Uh, sorry actually I thought that's why they shut down AlterNIC, but I just looked it up and apparently it was actually because the founder was charged with wire fraud for using it to hijack the real InterNIC domain.
