  1. Re:just what we all love on Amazon Decides To Start Paying Tax In the UK · · Score: 1, Troll

    Giving the government more money is like giving booze to an alcoholic.

  2. How many times on Hacker Warns Starbucks of Security Flaw, Gets Accused of Fraud · · Score: 1

    and people still don't learn? If you find something like this keep your mouth shut. No good will come from you bring it to their attention.

  3. Re:bye on Ads Based On Browsing History Are Coming To All Firefox Users · · Score: 2

    Chrome starts up for me a lot faster than Firefox and runs much smoother. Especially on those stupid forever scrolling pages. Yeah I know code should be efficient with memory but these days there is no excuse for having less than 4Gb. Times change. Plus Chrome uses html5 playback on Youtube and supports the higher framerates (50/60 fps).

  4. Re:All of you should buy AMD whenever possible on AMD Details High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) DRAM, Pushes Over 100GB/s Per Stack · · Score: -1, Troll

    Typical zealot. I use whatever tool is best for the job, be it AMD or Intel.

  5. Re:TO-220 regulator? on Turning an Arduino Project Into a Prototype · · Score: 1

    He probably had them on hand and they both cost roughly the same amount as a 78L05. Plus this is a prototype.

  6. Re:Since when rewarding pirates is "good"? on Microsoft Confirms It Won't Offer Free Windows 10 Upgrades To Pirates · · Score: 1

    The more people (even pirates) who use Windows, the better off Microsoft is.

  7. Re:So like Japan? on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 1

    If you keep running into crazy women the problem might just be with you...

  8. Re:What a load of utter shite. on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 1, Troll

    Anytime someone uses the SJW phrase I immediately discount them as being neck beards. SJW needs to be the new Godwin rule. The first person to use it loses the argument by default. You can't debate anyone logically who uses that phrase.

  9. What tablet is used in a sustained computing environment? This about portability and battery life, not rendering models or transcoding video.

  10. Re:Linux rootkit on Proof-of-Concept Linux Rootkit Leverages GPUs For Stealth · · Score: 0

    Probably because the lack of Linux GPU drivers. Might as well use it for something.

  11. B-29 on FAA: Big Tech Challenges For Massive Washington, DC Warbirds Flyover · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seeing and hearing the B-29 fly over is quite impressive. I try and imagine what it would be like in 1945 to see a sky full of them. They do a flyover here during the summer and you can pay for a ride although its not cheap.

  12. Re:Wow on Counter-Strike Finally Gets the League It Deserves · · Score: 1

    I still loving playing Quake. Not QuakeWorld, Quake. Love the gameplay and the physics.

  13. Re:Brand? on 17-Year-Old Radio Astronomy Mystery Traced Back To Kitchen Microwave · · Score: 1

    My parents still have their original microwave from around 1985. They had to replace the light bulb once so far. Mine is a $50 KMart special that is still working 10 years later.

  14. Heard this before on Except For Millennials, Most Americans Dislike Snowden · · Score: 1

    Yeah yeah the current generation is going to go and change things. Just like how all the hippies in the 1960s went into government and legalized pot. Oh no wait they didn't. They sold out harder than ever.

  15. Re:Second slashvertisement in as many days on Does Lack of FM Support On Phones Increase Your Chances of Dying In a Disaster? · · Score: 1

    Here in freedomland we have something called HD Radio. I guess its like DAB but I've never seen an actual physical receiver or known a person who has one.

  16. Let me translate on DOJ Could Nix Comcast-Time Warner Merger · · Score: 1

    The feds are saying they need more campaign donations and more guaranteed jobs with Comcast when they quit Uncle Sam.

  17. Perfect time on Norway Will Switch Off FM Radio In 2017 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    For pirate FM stations to fly their flags.

  18. Re:Why the hell ... on Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Found In Windows HTTP Stack · · Score: 1

    Give it up already. You really think there are paid shills on this poor excuse for a website? How many visitors does Slashdot get per day compared to some place like Reddit? I'm sure Linux will be the dominant desktop OS any decade now.

  19. *ahem* on Remote Code Execution Vulnerability Found In Windows HTTP Stack · · Score: 1

    Did you forget about kHTTPd?

  20. Lifespan on 220TB Tapes Show Tape Storage Still Has a Long Future · · Score: 2

    Properly stored tape has a lifetime of decades. See if your hard drive will spin up after sitting for one decade.

  21. Re:Why do people like you hate people in Indiana a on W. Virginia Bans Direct Tesla Sales, With Urging of Car-Dealer Senate President · · Score: 3, Informative

    In my opinion the more Christian someone calls themselves the less like Christ they act.

  22. Re:I hope Samba can keep up. on Second Technical Preview of Windows Server 2016 Arriving This Spring · · Score: 0

    Samba is bullshit anymore. I've had so many problems lately with Samba not knowing how to handle filenames with spaces. It makes the files appear as though the permissions are bad to the Windows clients. You have to manually map the characters in the config. Why? Daemons like ftpd do not have this problem.

  23. Re:Too late on Firefox 37 Released · · Score: 1

    On a normal day Chrome never uses more than a few Gb of memory. Of course I don't have hundreds of tabs open like some people. What is the point of that anyhow? You can only read one thing at a time and can you really know what each tab is?

  24. Too late on Firefox 37 Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I dumped Firefox when they changed to the hipster bullshit minimalist interface known as Australis. For a while Waterfox and Palemoon were doing a decent job. One day I decided to try Chrome to see how 60fps video looked on Youtube. Talk about night and day. Chrome is so much more responsive and doesn't use as many resources. Grab the usual essential addons (uBlock, Flashblock, etc) and you're good to go. No wonder Firefox has a dwindling user base. Instead of improving whats already there I get a video chat client and a paper airplane button to alert people on social media? Is this like email forwarding of the 90s?

  25. Re:How did they get caught? on Silk Road Investigators Charged With Stealing Bitcoin · · Score: 0

    Look at the secret service guys buying whores in South America. They are supposed to be top notch security personnel and get caught paying for pussy? That is the last place you would want to put your dick.
