  1. Coming soon to Home Depot.... on Home Depot Will Pay Up To $19.5 Million For Massive 2014 Data Breach (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Higher Prices to punish customers.

    Lawyers get rich as fuck, scam "credit monitoring" companies get rich as fuck. Consumers just get fucked.

  2. Make them big enough to do all the above, but each one carries a standard frag grenade. Then swarm the city homing in on human targets to explode about 3 feet from.

    Instead of bombing a city to hell.... drop 50,000 human seeking frag grenades.

  3. Re:ODROID always kicked ass on Raspberry Pi 3 Is a Nice Upgrade, But Alternatives Exist With Faster Performance (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet it can't play back 1080p video.... Because the video chipset is complete garbage.

  4. Re:Most others miss the point on Raspberry Pi 3 Is a Nice Upgrade, But Alternatives Exist With Faster Performance (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    "$35 can be put into some dumb home automation system."

    and that is why 99% of all home automation system projects fail. Half assing a project by using the cheapest thing you can grab guarantees failure.

  5. It also has more power use.... on Raspberry Pi 3 Is a Nice Upgrade, But Alternatives Exist With Faster Performance (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Which makes the Pi a better choice for a LOT of projects. It's almost as if the submitter thinks the Pi is some kind of desktop computer.

  6. Re:Unless they are morons... on No, Turning On Your Phone Is Not Consenting To Being Tracked By Police (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    The general public barely understands how to drive a car safely or walk and chew gum, something difficult like privacy is way WAY above the general public's ability to understand.

  7. When trump is elected president, morons will rule the world and we all can act the same way.

  8. It makes the devices easier to hack. Time to remove that stupid "special offers" advertising.

  9. Dear ISIS.... on ISIS Supporters Abandon U.S. Encryption Tools As Apple-FBI Fight Rages · · Score: 2

    ROT13 is still uncracked by the US government and will forever stay safe to use.

    Even the worlds best encryption experts can not break ROT13.

  10. Made up headlines for Clicks.... on Mars Rover Code Used For Cyber-Espionage Malware · · Score: 1

    Really Slashdot is doing this shit now?

    Windows 10 CUDE USED TO KILL PEOPLE!

    because io.h and math.h are used in both windows 10 and smartbombs!

  11. This is called "darwinisim" on People Will Follow a Robot In an Emergency - Even If It's Wrong (gatech.edu) · · Score: 1

    And honestly it's normal. People in general are easily panicked animals that refuse to think for themselves in emergencies. Just ask any paramedic or fireman what they think of the ability of the general public to get themselves to safety.

  12. Re: The solution seems obvious to me... on Microsoft Unhappy With Beta Testers, Demands Answers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    excuse me? a microsoft employee showed up here at the house and held a gun to my head until I clicked YES on the "install free upgrade to windows 10" popup.

    he then took my first born and said, "if you ever want to see your child again, do NOT revert back to windows 7."

  13. Re:The solution seems obvious to me... on Microsoft Unhappy With Beta Testers, Demands Answers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has never shipped anything but a beta..... well technically, Windows 7 is ready for release.

  14. Hits earth? Not. on Large-ish Meteor Hits Earth... But No One Notices (discovery.com) · · Score: 1

    Hits earth means it touches the water or land. Atmospheric burn up is NOT a "hit".

  15. Boo-Hoo on Google, Yahoo Cry About Ad-Blocking (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Until Google and Yahoo clean up the cesspool that is the ad's I'm not only blocking on every machine in my home, but adding blocking to every PC I can touch.

    Allowing ad's right now are a huge security hole and until they get off their lazy asses and clean up the mess I am helping as many people as I can to block any and all ads on their computers.

    Boo Fucking Hoo, Google and Yahoo created this mess.

  16. This is 2016, if you did not get basic education in highschool about it, then you are horribly under educated. But then most americans don't know how many states we have, Have the delusion that they will be a 1%er if they work hard, Think that College Education is going to get them a good paying job, etc.... Most can't fix their car or even tell you how an internal combustion engine works.

    This really underlines how bad the american education system is...... A majority of our population is dumb as a box of rocks...

  17. That expert was a freaking Ex FBI guy. ANYTHING out of his mouth is suspect.

  18. Re:question: do you feel they're worth the money? on LG G5 Unveiled: 5.3" QHD Display, Snapdragon 820, Modular Magic Slot Expansion (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I do buy a reasonable smartphone. $500 is very reasonable.

    Problem is most people that do not think that is reasonable try to justify why they are being underpaid. $15 an hour is the minimum anyone should make with current cost of living with a 15% yearly increase to keep in pace with inflation

  19. So using the dark web as my storage place for personal things like logins is not a good idea? WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME!

    Tomorrow on Slashdot, Experiments shows that humans can not breathe under water, and electrical outlets have electricity in them.

  20. he certainly did not do anything to reverse the firing....

    This asshole absolutely told his assistant to fire them.

  21. Ohhh bluetooth..... on HTC Vive Is $799, Ships From April 1st (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    100% useless for video only control. You are NOT getting 720P video at a decent frame rate over bluetooth.

  22. Re:question: do you feel they're worth the money? on LG G5 Unveiled: 5.3" QHD Display, Snapdragon 820, Modular Magic Slot Expansion (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel that I get my money's worth.... but then I actually understand that $100 is nothing today, A lot of people don't or tell them it's worth something in an attempt to delude themselves to think they make a good wage... where in reality they are making almost nothing.... yes unless you are a burger flipper or store shelf stocker, you should be making $25 an hour at least.

  23. ALL of this is on paper or in simulations carefully crafted to create the intended result. It's all highly speculative for the most part to get more funding and help secure tenure.

  24. NASA is headed in the wrong direction on Russia's Moon And Mars Exploration Ambitions Hobbled By A Lack Of Money (phys.org) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If they need more money they need to focus on killing people in faraway lands and none of this silly exploration.

    US Americans are far more interested in putting money into our military for killing people than Science. Now find life out there that we can kill? Now you got a source of funding!

  25. Re:Confused on Google Cleans Up Search Results By Ditching Sidebar Ads (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I love those adblocker whine images. I left click on them and "make new rule" then block them. They go away and I am happily blocking even more.
