  1. Split into a thousand pieces. Non-combustible ones, if possible. Nah.

  2. The islanders got their country back on The UK Is About to Legalize Mass Surveillance [Update] (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    And they are now taking another little step toward fascism. In lockstep with the US. Welcome to the 30s.

  3. Re:They still don't get on AT&T Unveils DirecTV Now Streaming TV Service With Over 100 Channels (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely right.

  4. They still don't get on AT&T Unveils DirecTV Now Streaming TV Service With Over 100 Channels (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    People do not want to stream hundreds of channels. People want to stream the few channels that they are interested in, at a reasonable price, with the relevant material (when not live) available all the time, any time. It would seem that piracy will stay with us for a long, long time.

  5. It will make no difference. The iSheep will carry on buying Apple's overpriced wares, no matter what. It's their nature.

  6. Yes, Microsoft, that's what I will do on Microsoft Exec Urges Linux Developers To Try Windows 10 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    In your dreams. Consider yourself middle-fingered once more, Microsoft.

  7. A curved screen! Just what I had been waiting for. I have been itching to have a phone with a curved screen forever. I can't wait to give Apple my money for their phones with the curved screen. Never mind other features - curved screens are the killer features. And, if a little bit of curvature is good, more of it is better: Apple, please make sure that some models, at least, have a 180 degree curvature screens.

  8. This industry is nothing but a succession of fads.

  9. And not very good one, either. Dr. Goebbels would not have been proud. Once again, consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

  10. With explosive results no doubt on Samsung Places A Big Bet on Quantum-Dot TV, Acquires QD Vision (zdnet.com) · · Score: 0

    It's a company on fire. Glowing, fiery, its customers are burning to learn what hot products it will come up with next.

  11. What's the big deal with 360 degree images? on VLC Media Player Previews 360-degree Video Support (videolan.org) · · Score: 1

    While I am sure there exist specialized applications for this, I fail to see what ordinary consumers get from it. The 360 degree images tend to be distorted, they add extraneous, irrelevant material, and the all around coverage makes the images in general less intuitive and realistic. This is seems to be the current, largely useless and unrequested fad, just as the ridiculous fake 3D TV was a few years ago.

  12. Will the GOP go for that? on Slashdot Asks: Will Farming Be Fully Automated in the Future? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They are bound to lose a big chunk of their voters.

  13. More schadenfreude on Samsung Group Offices Raided By Korean Prosecutors (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    And Samsung had better create a permanent firemen division - after all, they are constantly attempting to put out fires.

  14. Re:It's a hell of a lot easier to switch now! on Fedora 25 Now Available -- Makes It Easier To Switch From Windows 10 Or Mac (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I feel like the time for the Linux Desktop has come and gone, and it is such a shame too.

    I agree that it has come and gone, but I think that's great. I do not want for the illiterate masses to use Linux. I want for them to stay with Windows, so that criminals will target mostly Windows. I do not want for my desktop environment to be dumbed down so that everybody can use it - if Linux were ever to become relevant in the desktop, it would be in the way of the asinine desktop environments that Red Hat and Canonical are pushing. In that situation, it would soon be the status quo that applications would be developed with those environments in mind. And then everybody would have to use those environments. No, I prefer things the way they are. Not being a gamer or anxious to use the latest and greatest hardware, for me the price to pay is worth it. I hope (and expect) that Linux will never get much traction in the desktop.

  15. He couldn't refrain from reminding us what a big dick he has. Chances are that he is using the wrong verb though.

  16. The problem with leading Linux distributions on Cryptsetup Vulnerability Grants Root Shell Access On Some Linux Systems (threatpost.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Leading Linux distributions (Ubuntu, Red Hat, even Debian) and their derivatives is that they look more and more like Windows with each new release. Even their defects are more and more reminiscent of those in Windows.

  17. VW caught cheating - again? on VW Admits Audi Automatic Transmission Software Can Change Test Behavior (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Say it ain't so!

  18. With the burning enthusiasm of ardent supporters it will sure become, like some Samsung products, an explosive success.

  19. This is the path for a glowing success in Samsung's searing march ahead toward rekindling customer enthusiasm.

  20. Samsung is on fire on Samsung Really, Really Wants Developers To Build Tizen Apps (theinquirer.net) · · Score: 2

    All those apps will no doubt allow its phone to explode into new markets.

  21. But it is almost like saying that the Samsung Galaxy Notes 7 is the most explosive Samsung phone ever. Consider yourself middle-fingered, Microsoft.

  22. Say it isn't so!

    Have you been living under a rock? It is "Say it ain't so!"

  23. Samsung has to show that it is a company on fire, that will next with a batch of products nothing short of explosive, which will no doubt do wonders to rekindle the fire in the hearts and minds of its customers.

    Create an explosives division.

  25. The hottest gadget of the season on Samsung To Launch AI Digital Assistant Service For Galaxy S8 (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Without any doubt, this is going to be the hottest gadget this quarter. After all, Samsung is on fire, and its products are the most explosive success ever.
