  1. Greatest possible audience = lowest common denominator. You can't have taste and deliver on that. We're heading down the rabbit hole toward Idiocracy's hit show "Ow! My Balls"

  2. I'm having trouble understanding all that you wrote, but it sounds like you were equating antifa with pro-fascism. You do know it's short for anti-fascist, right?

  3. If you're getting to the point where you're going to start memorizing things, you do it right and learn the keyboard shortcuts. Have any of those even changed in the last 20+ years?

  4. Re:I can see it working but ... on Netflix To Raise $2 Billion In Debt To Fund More Original Content (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    You would think that Netflix has saturated the market by now,

    Which market? They have original series all over the globe. Plenty of them are enjoyable with English subtitles if you don't like dubs.

    Two years old is meaningless. Any content I haven't yet seen is fair game. As it is, I've switched around my own TV recording habits and watch shows one season at a time, a year after it airs. If you're not paying to watch it two years ago elsewhere, it's just as fresh as anything.

  6. Saying "CPU in the CPU" has as much meaning as "a play within a play." It is 100% subjective, and the outermost "play" is still the only play involved; the other play is actually part of the first play! There is only physically one play, but subjectively it can be seen as two.

    tl;dr You object but still 100% agree anyway.

  7. Re: And if the article was actually false... on In an Unprecedented Move, Apple CEO Tim Cook Calls For Bloomberg To Retract Its Chinese Spy Chip Story (buzzfeednews.com) · · Score: 1

    If there was any change in the stock price, there could be argued to be damages (even if a stock price is theoretically just an artificial valuation).

  8. This is basically a single-drive NAS that has a way to log in and access your files when away from home. Sort of like Dropbox in a way, but with apparently terrible security.

  9. Re: Whatever.... on eBay Files Lawsuit Against Amazon Over 'Seller Recruitment' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Next step is to abuse the CFAA to claim that it's unauthorized computer breach since it's a violation of terms.

    It's a unilateral contract, but not entirely without force of law.

    Yeah, I think that vehicular homicide is not something to brag about.

  12. Re:We need a law reinforcing capitalism on Printer Makers Are Crippling Cheap Ink Cartridges Via Bogus 'Security Updates' (vice.com) · · Score: 3

    Let's force them to treating it like renting so they can be on the hook for recycling all the printers when they fail.

  13. Re:How will that work worldwide? where rights are on Apple Plans To Give Away Original Content For Free To Device Owners as Part of New Digital TV Strategy, Report Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you miss the part where what's free is the Apple-produced content? They probably gave themselves worldwide rights, since they were feeling generous.

  14. And mankind is an ice age species. Let's not speed it up.

    Be good little Nazi soldiers and know you'll never face a tribunal for just following orders.

    Lightening was used to kill

    Was this by erasure or overexposure?

    Maybe you should look up NTP. Does a device that syncs over the web really need its clock set manually?

    Reminds me of the bullet points on my network cable tester package:
    * Do not use beyond usage
    * Do not hold it on your mind

  19. Re:What a stupid question on Ask Slashdot: Why Does Almost Nothing Come With a Proper Printed Manual Anymore? · · Score: 1

    A paper manual wouldn't be any help. The first thing that happens out of the box is that it gets an update and all the icons play musical chairs and get a new design.

  20. What makes it the wrong word? Because it's not part of a standard issue idiom and you can't stand variations?

    That is not how you fix a broken website.

  22. Both are being used metaphorically, so neither thing would literally be true.

  23. No, that's a nice eggcorn. Especially if you want to add to the connotation of what you're saying, since they mean mostly the same thing but slightly different. Nobody's required to use predefined idioms here - new ones are fine.

    It's basically prejudice + power, both items need to present

    This definition was invented by racist minority people who want to believe they aren't racist and have free reign to say whatever hateful, spiteful thing that they want.

  25. The bit where they actually use it, I assume.
