  1. Re:Goodbye Subscription Windows..... on 'UpgradeSubscription.exe' File In Preview Build Hints At Windows 10 Subscriptions (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    You could always use OSX. However I don't trust that one day Apple won't start verifying the hardware is genuine and your install stops working.

  2. Re:Is it leaked or is it not yet leaked? on 2 Million-Person Terror Database Leaked Online (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    Link?

  3. Re:Tesla is still an exotic car company. on Tesla Admits Defeat, Quietly Settles Model X Lawsuit Over Usability Problems (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla finding out that building a car from scratch isn't as easy as it sounds.

  4. Another day, another sand nigger terrorist attack. Too bad it didn't happen to that asswipe in charge or Turkey.

  5. Fucking stop with the DEC logo on You Are Still Watching a Staggering Amount Of TV Every Day (recode.net) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Editors: You have no clue as to what "Digital" or DEC even has to do with technology. Take two minutes and read Wikipedia article first. This is doing nothing but insulting your dwindling reader base.

  6. Re:Quora still kicking? on Google CEO Sundar Pichai's Quora Account Hacked (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 0

    I kept having Quora turn up in my search results and it looked like a newer version of Yahoo Answers. It's now in my personal blocklist.

  7. most people already prefer listening to accelerate on Is The Future Of Television Watching on Fast-Forward? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    What researcher said this? Who did they interview? I don't want my entertainment to sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

  8. I'll admit they rank low on reliability but most people with money buy a new one every few years so they never notice. What is wrong with Lotus? A small British sports car with a Japanese engine? Sounds like the best of both worlds.

  9. Re:I don't buy it on Star Trek Actor's Death Inspires Class Action Against Car Manufacturer (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    When parking your car do you always check the indicator lights? Everyone else knows by tactile feedback that the shifter is fully forward its in park.

  10. Re:The shifter is always in the same position on Star Trek Actor's Death Inspires Class Action Against Car Manufacturer (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Modern automatics do a better job than manuals now.

  11. This guy probably had some good cash rolling in and he buys a fucking Jeep? At least spring for something upscale like a Land Rover or G Wagon.

  12. Re:The Surface 3 is terrible on Surface 3 Stocks Dwindling As Microsoft Plans System's Demise (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds like you have defective hardware. Why did you not return it?

  13. Re:Getting Ready for Apollo Lake Upgrade on Surface 3 Stocks Dwindling As Microsoft Plans System's Demise (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    AMD is so far behind Intel its not even funny.

  14. Re:This seems dangerous on Alicia Keys Latest Artist To Enforce No Cell Phone Policy at Concerts (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess people will have to survive just like those dark times before cell phones were invented.

  15. Re:Bull-fucking-shit. on New 'Hardened' Tor Browser Protects Users From FBI Hacking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Unpatched and out of date has nothing to do with how secure it is.

  16. Re:Where's the Chekov article? on New Ransomware Written Entirely In JavaScript (scmagazine.com) · · Score: 0

    Give it a few days. This is the last place I go to for actual news.

  17. Re:Most software isn't leased. Sth Aus wanted a le on South Australia Refuses To Stop Using An Expired, MS-DOS-Based Health Software (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    I use Solid Works and Altium nearly every day at my job. Both of those are yearly licenses.

  18. Re:Wow on DNC Hacker Releases Trump Opposition File (gawker.com) · · Score: 0

    The last election came down to a woman versus a black guy. People picked the black guy. That should tell you something.

  19. Re:Compression on Apple Introduces New File System AFPS With Tons Of 'Solid' Features (apple.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What kinds of files are people generating today? Pictures and video. What kinds of files are already compressed to begin with? Pictures and video. Compression doesn't make sense unless you have massive amounts of text or database files.

  20. Re:Slashdot won't acknowledge gay murder on Anonymous Posts Pornography To Hijacked ISIS Twitter Accounts (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    While tragic, it is hardly "news for nerds".

  21. Happened to me on Twitter Denies Breach of 32 Million Accounts (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    I created an account a few years ago but never did anything with it. When I did try and login I was now following hundreds of random Russian and Arabic accounts. I have since closed the account.

  22. Destroyed? on Microsoft Has Created Its Own FreeBSD (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think you are using that word correctly. IBM dumped the PC division because the market is saturated and the margin is thin.

  23. Re:Docker: Windows or Linux images? on Windows 10 Insider Preview Build 14361 Released (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Does anyone use this docker shit? What is it actually for?

  24. Re:Carrying too much money on Bitcoin Sting Operation Nabs Egyptian Dentist (themerkle.com) · · Score: 1

    If a cop finds a large sum of cash on anyone its assumed to be drug money and taken. Plenty of times no charges have been filed but the money is never given back because of the civil forfeiture laws. In other words theft.

  25. Re:What law was broken? on Bitcoin Sting Operation Nabs Egyptian Dentist (themerkle.com) · · Score: 1

    The cops knew they could setup a sting with someone carrying lots of cash. Just an old fashioned money grab, nothing sinister.
