  1. It happens on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The 10 upgrade was changed to a critical update where previously it was optional. So you can disable updates all together or use something like GWX Control Panel to kill the pending upgrade.

  2. Calling you out on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    So enlighten us with your firewall rules to prevent this from happening.

  3. Same team on John Kasich To Drop Out, Leaving Trump as GOP Nominee (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    At the end of the day they all work for the federal government so they all play for the same team. Like the good cops looking the other way for the bad cops.

  4. Re:IBM on IBM Gives Everyone Access To Its Five-Qubit Quantum Computer (fortune.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Guess you haven't bought a mainframe lately. That market is doing extremely well.

  5. Tell that to this guy https://nakedsecurity.sophos.c...

  6. How are you not using some form of ad blocking?

  7. Go ahead and do that on The Government Wants Your Fingerprint To Unlock Phones (dailygazette.com) · · Score: 1

    Welcome to contempt of court. Enjoy your indefinite stay in jail until the judge lets you out.

  8. This USB stick will do a better job of editing Slashdot than the humans,

  9. Re:Huh?! on iTunes Turns 13 Today -- Continues To Be 'Awful' (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    That tells me you are using a mac. iTunes on Windows is unusable. I'm so happy my Android phone shows up as a simple USB drive without worrying about transcoding, album art, software updates, etc etc.

  10. Sadly SGI is long dead.

  11. Re:"cannot be skipped" on YouTube To Roll Out 6-Second Ads That You Can't Skip (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Gonna be pretty difficult when the ad is spliced into the actual content.

  12. Re:Not clear what the terms are on US Justice Dept Approves Charter's Time Warner Cable Purchase With Conditions (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The terms are the person who approved the merger then "retires" and takes a new high paid executive job at TW/Charters.

  13. Waaaahhhhh on Oculus Rift Users Angered By Pre-Order Snafu (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 0

    Waaahhhhhhh my bleeding edge hardware pre-order was bumped a month or two waaaahhhhhhh! They sound like crying children.

  14. People are whores and will take whatever comic book bullshit movies throw at them.

  15. Still too much on Hearing Aid Business Under Pressure From Consumer Electronics · · Score: 1

    Those hearing aids have like $20 worth of parts inside. If they weren't a "medical device" they would cost 1/10 of that.

  16. Lies on FBI Paid More Than $1 Million For San Bernardino 'Hack' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nearly everything the FBI says so far is a lie. Why should I believe this statement?

  17. Unless you own a Nexus or bleeding edge phone you won't be getting many updates either.

  18. Re:Please stop using the DEC logo! on Choosing to Skip the Upgrade and Care for the Gadget You've Got (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? The hardware was rock solid and (Open)VMS ran forever.

  19. Cablecard fees on Comcast To Allow TV Customers To Ditch Set-Top Box (usatoday.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So you're still paying an extra monthly fee for the cablecard. There is no difference.

  20. Oh man on US Treasury To Feature Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill (reuters.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This is gonna go over great.

  21. Unless you have an endless supply of rocket scientists this is a bad idea.

  22. Those ears aren't listening until checks start rolling in. Money talks. You'd be better off doing a kickstarter or similar project where people pool money to get good legislation passed.

  23. Really a remote install? on FBI Tried To Defeat Encryption 10 Years Ago, Files Show (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    How did the FBI remotely install anything? Were they sitting on undocumented exploits and tricked the user? Or did they just physically break into the residence and install something?

  24. People bitched about Firefox because it turned into Chrome Junior. Chrome went to the higher version numbers, so did FF. Chrome changed the interface to hipster minimalist bullshit and so did FF.
