  1. Re: If it's legit,.. on An Anonymous Bitcoin Millionaire Is Donating Their Fortune To Charities (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    That isn't how charitable donations and taxes deductions work. If he made $10 million and donated $3 million he has to pay taxes on $7 million of income instead of $10 million.
    Donations aren't a magic loophole rich people use to pay $0 in taxes. Unless the charity they're donating it to is a scam and is somehow giving them back the money, which is illegal.

    Here's a study by Sharp. It's a PDF. http://www.eetasia.com/STATIC/...

    They're also wrong about the 12 inches. There have been studies that prove it's false. Diminishing returns yes, but the difference is discernible.

    Easy fix. Use white ones with color filters.

    Blocking all javascript will never become commonplace. Does that really need to be explained?

  7. They're still going to want more money on There Is a Point At Which It Will Make Economical Sense To Defect From the Electrical Grid (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The power companies are still going to charge the same amount people are paying now even though they're buying less energy. I don't know how much the spend on the actual fuel for their power plants but I doubt their overall operating costs would go down much.

  8. you can get extensions for that

  9. Seriously? It's fucking Walmart. You could quit and be rehired the next day.

    Great idea! They could even go a step further and ban breaking into and stealing cars. Then the alarms wouldn't go off.

  11. Doesn't matter on Ask Slashdot: ISPs That Respect Your Online Privacy? · · Score: 1

    Does it really matter? If you're lucky you have a choice between 2 actual high speed providers, one cable provider and one fiber provider. But most people have to choose from one cable provider, much slower DSL, or wireless.
    If you choose DSL or wireless the speeds are very limiting on what you can do.

  12. Re:TV Buzzwords to Avoid on Amazon Targets Cord Cutters With First-Ever Integrated Fire TV Sets (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Just don't connect them to the internet and they work exactly like a "dumb" TV.

  13. Re:Exception to butterage on Should You Leave Google Chrome For the Opera Browser? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Most Chrome addons also work on Opera. Opera also has some things Chrome doesn't such as built in mouse gestures and speed dial that work better than any plugins you can get for Chrome. Opera actually used to have a lot more features that other browsers didn't before they switched engines. Vivaldi has most of them though which is why I use that as my primary browser now.

    I agree what you say about the "resource hogging". I have 16GB Ram and I want the browser to use it if it makes browsing faster. I've never had problems with any browser using too much.

    For people aged 30 to 36, the analysis shows having any student debt significantly hurts your chances of buying a home

    If you still have student debt 10 years after you graduated I wouldn't give you money for a house either.

    Someone watching a youtube video does not equate to a lost "sale" from a streaming service. The youtube viewer would have never paid to listen to your song.
