In 2-5 years, I bet one or both of Snapchat and Instagram will not exist either.
I'll take that bet for any amount, but you won't put up.
I think you're too busy bitching about millennials to realize how big these products have gotten. They might not be the hottest thing on the block in 5 years, but they'll exist. See Sears and Myspace.
Yeah this update nuked Classic Theme Restorer for me and there was all kinds of ugliness and "Pocket" buttons, and my new tabs are going to some sort of rich portal instead of about:blank.
Do you know if they have any plans to update that extension? I'm willing to wrangle Firefox into something usable here if the promised performance improvements are actually there.
"You are incapable of making good chocolate chip cookies"
"Why?"
"Because if you make a delicious batch of chocolate chip cookies, these fat greedy men in suits will piss all over it"
May be the truth, but it's not an argument against my baking ability. Nationalize it and jail the fat greedy men for pissing all over the rest of our cookies.
Everyone is involved in job creation. If I steal a car tonight I'm contributing towards a lot of jobs in a lot of diferent industries -- criminal justice, law, insurance, auto repair/manufacture.
It's a pointless phrase invented to make the ulta-rich feel better about themselves.
Not safe in terms of the volatility or the bet going bad, that's risk I'd be happy to assume. But if the bet goes good, a place where you can cash out 5+ digits of actual money without being raped on fees or a risk of some rando website shutting down and taking your real money with it?
Commentary on the gambling industry aside, that doesn't seem that shady, at least from a fair game perspective, just like an end around for a lawmaker who said 'bingo is fine' but was deathly afraid of slot machines. It sounds about the same as how they play craps (with perfect 1-in-6 odds per deck) with cards instead of dice in California because some lawmaker freaked out about dice but cards are OK.
So long as your bingo-slot-machine plays a fair game of bingo (fair as can be achieved with a computer's RNG, I don't want to start that development debate on Slashdot), and pays out according to state guidelines on slot machine return, I don't really see the issue with using a bingo simulation as an (unnecessarily complex) source of randomness.
It gets much shadier if you get into the realm of making it look like an 'almost jackpot' every time the bingo game fails and the spin is a loss. If that's going on Iowa needs better gambling regulators.
I of course can't prove this, but this isn't really a concern to me as a potential lottery player.
Honestly if the balls are biased to some outcome, great. All of the numbers are available online back to the 90's -- write a python script that tells you the 'good' numbers and bet them like crazy.
I'd love to find a roulette game which with a slight bias or a craps table with some crooked dice. That's only going to hurt the game operator as you can bet either way in all of these games.
I thought this is why they have the video of people pulling the ping pong balls out of hoppers. I know at least Powerball (which is a MUSL lottery, same as where this guy worked), operates that way. It could still be scammed, but it requires physical access to tamper with the balls.
If a computer is picking the numbers it seems like a conflict of interest since the list of known printed tickets could also be interfaced with the computer.
Slashdot Mirror
Oh cool, maybe we'll get gun control then
problem solved.
Do you have the link for nuking all of the advertising and spying out of the Start Menu and OS in general?
Get the fuck out of the Tech Center man. Real Denver is cool as shit.
Lol that anyone is seeing ads on YouTube to begin with
Lol slashdot doesnâ(TM)t support Unicode in TYOOL 2018
I believe the relevant quote is:

Jesus Christ just compile the damn code for each plaform so I can run it locally!
And I'm at peace with that. I'll start learning how to play the guitar or something with my limited time on earth.

Nationalize that shit homey

The answer appears to be 'no'.
Asking for a friend.

You're supposed to use the re-usable cloth bags

Another small but vital step in getting a UBI in place in this country. :-)

You're right, we should nationalize some of these buisnesses to re-assert the strength of the federal government.
Either pay people a livable wage, or they will take it via legislation or angry mob.
Oh so what government body put them up to this?
I missed where the government was doing anything to restrict these Nazis speech.
