  1. Everything has a beginning and end. No real surprise.

  2. Re:No, not costing anything on Study: Ad Blocker Use Jumps 41 Percent · · Score: 1

    Just wait until these ad companies start sending checks to politicians. You'll have a congressional hearing on the use of ad blockers.

  3. You speak of the home edition where users are damned if they update and damned if they don't. The truth is home users can't be trusted to install updates.

  4. Seriously on Fantastic Four Reboot Released To Tepid Reception · · Score: 2

    I don't care about any of these movies. All I know is that Deadpool is apparently the second coming of Jesus Christ.

  5. Re:External PDF viewer? on Mozilla Issues Fix For Firefox Zero-Day Bug · · Score: 1

    And Chrome's version works a million times better/faster.

  6. Not really on Researcher Exploits 18-Year-Old Design Flaw To Compromise X86 Chips · · Score: 1

    Intel fixed this in 2011.

  7. HA! on Researcher Exploits 18-Year-Old Design Flaw To Compromise X86 Chips · · Score: 4, Funny

    I use Alpha 21264 you insensitive clod!

  8. Re:Can it get past engine-kill too? on Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars · · Score: 1

    So you are inside the car, now what? You can't start it. Are you going to steal the radio and loose change?

  9. Re:Design award for something that horrible? on Windows 10 Start Menu Wins IDSA Design Award · · Score: 1

    I had no idea you could scroll the shitty start screen on Windows 8. Not one single hint lets you know, not an arrow or scroll bar or anything. I installed Office on a new Win 8 box and couldn't locate any of the icons. Started googling and found there is actually a knowledge base article letting people know the menu scrolls. Again a design fail.

  10. Re:"Designers" are getting on my nerves on Windows 10 Start Menu Wins IDSA Design Award · · Score: 1

    Try changing an IP address on Windows 8. Every option kept taking me to the connections screen (full sized window) with the only option being to disable the ethernet adapter. Finally did find it but that is a major design fail.

  11. Re: Onions are for cows on How Boing Boing Handled an FBI Subpoena Over Its Tor Exit Node · · Score: 1

    He has more talent than the "editors" who run this site. They can't even figure out how to write a simple filter.

  12. Re:E-sports! E-sports! E-sports! on Microsoft Makes Push To Get Back Into E-Sports · · Score: 1

    Made this comment myself. Wish I had mod points.

  13. Catfish on Girls Catfish ISIS On Social Media For Travel Money · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can we stop using catfish as a verb? Its fucking dumb.

  14. Ah, Berlin on Lennart Poettering Announces the First Systemd Conference · · Score: 0

    The least amusing city in the world. On a side note I can't wait until they introduce a great new feature called registry.dat. A central binary configuration file.

  15. Old news on "Happy Birthday" Public Domain After All? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Read about this like 5 days ago. Anything else you guys want to present as "news". Perhaps the death of Jimmy Hendrix or that new Godfather II movie?

  16. Windows on Critical BIND Denial-of-Service Flaw Could Take Down DNS Servers · · Score: -1, Troll

    Now imagine if Windows had done the same thing. Slashdot would be in an uproar.

  17. Re:wtf? on The Weird History of the Microsoft Windows Start Button · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He most likely has a PhD in his field. He is the master of that one specific area. Everything else is foreign and complicated to him.

  18. LOL on On Linux, $550 Radeon R9 Fury Competes With $200~350 NVIDIA GPUs · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    AMD writes shitty half assed drivers and you are still sucking their dick.

  19. Opposite on EBay Is Shutting Down Its On-Demand Delivery Service · · Score: 4, Informative

    No its really the opposite. If you sell something and someone files a complaint you automatically lose. People won the auction but don't feel like paying so they file a complaint and you're on the hook for a refund even if they're wrong.

    What eBay needs is competition.

  20. Budget on Smithsonian Increases Goal For Spacesuit Crowdfunding Effort · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The Smithsonian budget for 2015 is $851 million. Surely they can afford this?

  21. Re:interstitial on Google Studies How Bad Interstitials Are On Mobile · · Score: 1

    Seriously, never heard this word before in my life.

  22. Fuck those things on Google Studies How Bad Interstitials Are On Mobile · · Score: 3, Insightful

    One common thing they do is grey out the background so the box draws your attention. Can we stop that somehow?

  23. What about on AMD Starts Rolling Out New Linux Driver Model, But Many Issues Remain · · Score: 0

    the systemd requirements?

  24. Re:Why replace it? on Tomb, a Successor To TrueCrypt For Linux Geeks · · Score: 1

    That would be discovered in seconds. Neckbeards look for this constantly. They want to be the first person to proclaim "I told you so!"

  25. Why replace it? on Tomb, a Successor To TrueCrypt For Linux Geeks · · Score: 1

    We know the last build of TrueCrypt is secure. Why replace it?
