  1. Re: Got Burned by Titanfall on The Growing Illusion of Single Player Gaming · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't understand why anyone would play an online game, especially on a console.
    The very idea of having to pay a monthly subscription to play the game is problematic to me. With XBox Live, they basically ask you to pay to have the right to use your Internet connection.

  2. Re: Ads on Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Maker Mojang For $2.5 Billion · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Minecraft is a simplistic game any software developer can code in 6 months.
    It has zero value.

    What they bought is the community.

    It would be more useful to engineer a solution to allow safe texting instead...

    The Chinese government is mostly made of engineers. As a result, they're fast, efficient, and quickly became the world's second economical power.

  5. Re: illogical captain on Why Atheists Need Captain Kirk · · Score: 0

    I can prove that the God of various dogmata is illogical.
    Reality is governed by logic. There is no place for inconstitency and the impossible. You can fabricate the idea of impossible things all you want, that doesn't make them real.

    Because what "journalists" say must be true, right?

  7. Re:And then watch all of them... on Early Reviews of Destiny: Unfulfilled Potential · · Score: 0

    There is such a thing as professional reviewers? They're just an extension of the marketing department.
    The only way to assess whether a game is good is to look at the reaction on social media. Then again, this has this limits, for the simple reason that a lot of people just have shit taste.

  8. Looks promising on Early Reviews of Destiny: Unfulfilled Potential · · Score: 0

    Finally an FPS that is more than a corridor.
    Got a sci-fi vibe to it too, I wonder if it can live up to something like Mass Effect.

  9. I hear there's an app for that.

    You should add a way to mesure the volume of your turd as well.
    Maybe take a pick and post it?

  12. AVX2 doesn'g double floating-point performance on Intel Launches Xeon E5 V3 Series Server CPUs With Up To 18 Cores · · Score: 0

    It doubles integer performance.

    RabbitMQ is everything but fast.

  14. Re:The last sentence of the summary is spot on on Two Explorers Descend Into An Active Volcano, and Live to Tell About It · · Score: 0

    I personally don't understand why anyone would be envious of people that rappelled down a crater.

  15. Re:Is there any point continuing GCC's development on LLVM 3.5 Brings C++1y Improvements, Unified 64-bit ARM Backend · · Score: 0

    While both GCC and Clang are buggy, I have found that some of the bugs of clang were more problematic than gcc's.
    That's a good reason for gcc to go on living.

  16. The App has a setting for that on Facebook Blamed For Driving Up Cellphone Bills, But It's Not Alone · · Score: 0

    The Facebook has a setting to disable auto-play or make it wifi-only.

    In civilized countries, there is no cap, only a soft cap after which bandwidth is slightly throttled.

  18. IRC isn't obsolete on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 0

    Unlike the other technologies the OP talks about, IRC isn't obsolete technology.

    Clearly you must be new to the Internet.

    It's just harassment, which apparently can be both criminal and civil depending on jurisdictions.

    Not that she should, she should simply have expected it.
    It should never have been a surprise to her.

  22. Re: Her work on Anita Sarkeesian, Creator of "Tropes vs. Women," Driven From Home By Trolls · · Score: -1, Troll

    Someone who can perform a bit of self-reflection can understand their behaviour.
    I don't expect feminist zealots to be able to.

    It's not ok, but it can happen. Better be safe than sorry.

    Who said anything about acceptable?
    They're understandable.
