  1. A counterproposal on Studios Flirt With Offering Movies Early in Home for $30 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Studios: Make all the material available all the time, everywhere, at reasonable prices. Insist in your pig-headedness to stick to a dying business model, and watch how lots of potential income disappears in front of your eyes. Learn once and for all that most people download movies from so-called pirate sites not to stick it to the man, but because it is convenient and easy. Most of us would pay you a reasonable amount per movie (stick your silly packages you know where) event if we could get them free. The choice is yours.

  2. The best thing about Gnome on GNOME 3.24 Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    By a mile, the best thing about Gnome is that you do not have to use it.

  3. Re:Cognitive Dissonance on No, We Probably Don't Live in a Computer Simulation, Says Physicist (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it me, or does it seem like those who argument so adamantly against the concept of a supreme being are perfectly happy to entertain the idea that we are part of a stimulation?

    It is you. Many of us who argue so adamantly against the concept of a supreme being think that the simulation thing is nonsensical garbage^H^H^H^H^H^Hspeculation.

  4. That something from Microsoft is an insecure PoS is not news - it is business as usual. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

  5. For the time being, these so-called digital assistants are little more than gimmicks, good for parties and little else. The bottom line is that they do not do much useful and, what little they do, one can, for the most part, do faster, and certainly more efficiently, at the keyboard. At least, in this case, coming from Samsung, it might be explosive.

  6. Rolled out everywhere on Could We Eliminate Spam With DMARC? (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    That is the key. There are many, many technologies that, if they could be rolled out everywhere, would solve the spam problem. Come up with something that would solve the problem if rolled out in a minority of hosts, and I will be impressed.

  7. Bring it on! on What If You Could Eat Chicken Without Killing a Chicken? (theoutline.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't wait for the day in which it will be possible to buy meat surrogate, for all meats, at a reasonable price, and with a reasonable similarity to the real thing in texture, flavor, smell and taste.

  8. Poor Kurzweill on Ray Kurzweil On How We'll End Up Merging With Our Technology (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Had he kept his mouth shut, he would be remembered by his significant technological contributions. After what he has been doing and saying over the last twenty years, if he is at all remembered it will be as a textbook example of somebody taking leave of his common sense.

  9. Thank you, Microsoft on Microsoft To End Support For Windows Vista In Less Than a Month (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Kudos to you for providing, with Windows Vista, the experience that we all expect from the reputation inextricably associated with this company.

  10. Re:This would upset me... on Netflix Will Explore Mobile-Specific Cuts of Its Original Series (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I am sure I speak for millions upon millions when I say that we will be able to sleep much better tonight, now that we know that you do not care about movies and TV shows.

  11. Swatch? on Swatch Takes on Google, Apple With Watch Operating System (bloomberg.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    You mean, the company who makes those watches that look like toys for a 3-year-old? What are they going to do - come up with an equally childish, ridiculous OS?

  12. And your home on Buying a Samsung TV Online Could Jeopardize Your Data (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Not in vain is Samsung known for its explosive products.

  13. Re:This just in: slashdotters are OLD on 'The Matrix' Reboot: It's Finally Happened. Hollywood Has Run Out of All the Ideas (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Cleopatra (1963) is not a classic - it is the final epic bore.

  14. remake 2 & 3. They were garbage.

    I think you mean parts 2 and 3. And, yes, you are right; they were pure garbage. I, for one, do not expect any better from any reboots.

  15. Without it, the S8 is far less hot. Maybe Samsung is not interested for the S8 to be a really explosive handset.

  16. What's wrong with this people? on Work-Life Balance: Cryptographer Fired By BAE Systems For Taking Care of Dying Wife (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 2

    I have interacted with human resources people in several companies. By and large, they behaved like a bunch of bastards. It may be the case that they were just obeying the command of higher management, or that they were enjoying the power that they had over their hapless victims, or both. What does not change is the fact that they behaved like complete bastards.

  17. Re:"...according to our sources..." on Microsoft's Project Scorpio Will Pack Internal PSU, 4K Game DVR Capture (windowscentral.com) · · Score: 1

    details or it didn't happen.

    This is Microsoft's time-honored SOP - vaporware announcements. Only that, these days, they do not have the deterrent effect that they used to - although it remains a despicable organization, it does not have the same muscle as twenty years ago. As usual, Microsoft, consider yourself middle-fingered.

  18. Re:If u want healthcare on PlayStation Now Will Bring PS4 Games to your PC (engadget.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    You would be even more glad had you got a basic education, which you obviously did not.

  19. This was no secret on What The CIA WikiLeaks Dump Tells Us: Encryption Works (ap.org) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The intelligence community has given all indications, time and again, that breaking cryptography is not the vector the usually resort to in order to obtain information. Other, more traditional, techniques, today euphemistically (and pretentiously) called "social engineering", are much cheaper and effective, under most circumstances.

  20. Not surprising, coming from BG on Backlash Builds Against Bill Gates' Call For A Robot Tax (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    After all, he seemed to be convinced that an algorithm for factoring prime numbers efficiently would have a huge impact on the computer industry.

  21. Re:Is GDB as good as the VS Debugger? on Microsoft Continues Porting Visual C++ To Linux (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    there are very good IDEs on linux too. They have gdb integration, syntax predicting thru clang, etc. I use Codelite's GUI for gdb.

    And they are, by and large, in the way.

  22. Re: First on Microsoft Continues Porting Visual C++ To Linux (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    Personally I think "Fuck microsoft" perfectly sums it up. They spent decades attacking FOSS and hindering progress to line their own pockets. So yeah, fuck them.

    I second that. In that spirit, fuck Microsoft.

  23. Terrific news on Samsung Pay Could Come To More Non-Premium Smartphones (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    With Samsung pay, your phone would also be explosive.

  24. Microsoft knows about making mistakes on Microsoft Admits Mistake, Pulls Problematic Windows 10 Driver (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    They are really, really good at that.

  25. Self respect? on How Many Snapchat Clones Does It Take For Facebook To Lose Its Self-Respect? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Bearing in mind what it is and what it does, self respect is obviously not high in Facebook's agenda.
