  1. Nothing of value was lost.

  2. Dear Slashdot on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stream/Capture Video? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm recording massively large video clips that no one will watch and it takes forever to upload them to YouTube. I have a 50Mb/s upload speed and can't figure out why this 60 gig file takes three hours. Pleas help me do math.

  3. People feel fine using that same argument while riding in their Tesla.

  4. So no one is allowed to disagree with the ACLU?

  5. Re:It wasn't bad honestly on Ask Slashdot: Do You Miss Windows Phone? (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    The start screen was just bad overall. Here is just one example. I installed Office for someone on their new laptop and was trying to show them how to start it. No icons to be found anywhere. Turns out the giant menu can scroll but gives you no indication such as bars or even dots like phones do. How would anyone know that by looking at it? What about parking your cursor on the upper right of the screen to make an invisible menu appear? Again just bad design.

  6. It wasn't bad honestly on Ask Slashdot: Do You Miss Windows Phone? (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While the interface was unusable on a desktop it worked well enough on a phone. I picked up a phone on clearance and used it for a while. It was a $99 phone reduced to $19.99. For a low end model the interface was fast and never felt bogged down.

  7. The Supreme Court ruled corporations are people. See the Citizens United case. This can only be undone with an amendment to the constitution. Good luck accomplishing that in today's political climate.

  8. Re:Which version of OpenGL? on Programmer Unveils OpenGL Bindings for Bash (opensource.com) · · Score: 2

    Don't AMD and Nvidia both have different OpenGL implementations?

  9. Re:What the *Bleep*? on Three Execs Get Prison Time For Pirating Oracle Firmware & Solaris OS Update (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The problem is what people did to fuck up the economy in 2008 wasn't illegal. He who has the gold makes the rules.

  10. What are they going to do, fly up there and confiscate the transmitter?

  11. Re:Well it's clearly not x86 on Apple's Redesigned Mac Pro is Coming in 2019 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Looks like the POWER8 is RISC based https://www.ibm.com/developerw...

  12. Re:Why Apple gets away with this bullshit on Latest macOS Update Disables DisplayLink, Rendering Thousands of Monitors Dead (displaylink.com) · · Score: 1

    I just want 4K resolution at a 16:10 ratio which doesn't exist. I think even a 4:3 ratio would be cool at that resolution.

  13. Does nobody understand this word anymore. No windows didn't "brick" your computer. You booted from some other media and it was functional. Bricked means you connected up a JTAG cable and reloaded firmware. Or in the old days removed the EEPROM and reprogrammed it. If the OS is the only thing not working then it isn't bricked.

  14. Re:Dead or just temporarily unusable? on Latest macOS Update Disables DisplayLink, Rendering Thousands of Monitors Dead (displaylink.com) · · Score: 1

    If you want a 5K display you gotta play these games.

  15. Re:So agencies actually communicate with DHS? on US Suspects Listening Devices in Washington (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The FBI claims 35,000 employees. Doesn't seem unreasonable. They might as well save cash and cancel the tip line if nobody bothers.

  16. Re:So agencies actually communicate with DHS? on US Suspects Listening Devices in Washington (apnews.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    I was wondering that myself. Maybe the CIA placed them and the incompetent FBI found them and immediately thought Russia. I call them incompetent because you can give them names of school shooters and they don't even bother investigating.

    Wait until you try and watch Stalker http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00...

  18. Re:Windows 10 interface + Linux kernel on Linux 4.16 Released (phoronix.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Give me the FreeBSD kernel with the Windows 7 interface. Clean and no systemd bullshit.

  19. From the no shit Sherlock department?

  20. Re:Pointless labels on Coffee Requires Cancer Warning, California Judge Rules (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It all stems from one law that allowed people to directly vote for whatever they want. Whenever you hear about California proposition something or other it let all the idiots vote to say that handling xmas lights will give you cancer.

  21. Re: You'll have to ask the company that made the p on Tesla Issues Its Largest Recall Ever Voluntarily Over Faulty Model S Steering (theverge.com) · · Score: 0

    So BOSCH bought them from China. You think they machine them one at a time paying competitive wages in Germany? China melts down whatever is laying around and labels it steel.

  22. Re:Rampant histeria will now ensue on Tesla Issues Its Largest Recall Ever Voluntarily Over Faulty Model S Steering (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody else can compete because people treat Elon like a cult leader. He can do no wrong.

    BOSCH isn't even mentioned in the article. This is a mechanical problem because someone bought cheap shit from China.

    I can't believe they removed the F8 safe mode function from Windows 10. Now you need to be in Windows to tell it to reboot in safe mode. Good job there. What if your install is fucked and won't boot?

  25. Re:I live in the Atlanta suburbs and my favorite p on Atlanta, Hit by Ransomware Attack, Also Fell Victim To Leaked NSA Exploits (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Having a mayor named Keisha would really instill me with confidence. But then again you have to look at the demographics of the city.
