  1. Hasn't Keith Richards been doing this for decades? I'm pretty sure the teen gets a pint of Keith's blood back in trade, so everyone is happy.

  2. Re:the parents' rights expire when she does on Parents Have No Right To Dead Child's Facebook Account, German Court Rules (reuters.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You're essentially saying you shouldn't legally be able to take a secret to your grave.

  3. Re:Individual stalls/showers/changing areas on Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Lobby Against Texas 'Bathroom' Bill (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    and you're opposed because the ladyboys should be forced to watch you scrub your junk?

  4. Re:Go Wherever you want on Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, and Google Lobby Against Texas 'Bathroom' Bill (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you not heard all the stories of less-effeminate women being denied entrance to the restrooms because they have short hair and wear flannel? It wasn't a problem, but I'll be damned if people didn't make it a problem.

    Slow down there, Ray Comfort.

  7. Re:Texas Instruments.. on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    I guess this was my first, too. My Grandad had a TI99 we gamed on. I was given a Tandy 2000 around that same time and my best friend had a Com64, so I guess I was pretty exposed at a young age. My first build was a 386 from scrap parts I got from school.

  8. exemptions? on US Congress Votes To Shred ISP Privacy Rules (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Did they write in any exemptions for themselves? I'm sure if we just release every congress-critter's search history, they'll have a change of heart.

  9. Perhaps don't let a website do all your thinking for you. IDK about you, but I read reviews in an attempt to make an informed decision. You watch the trailers, talk about it with your friends, read the critics reviews, read the early user reviews, weigh it all, ignore everything up to this point, stream a camrip online, then after all that if you think it'll be worth it, buy a ticket.

  10. Second best selling watch on It's Time To Admit Apple Watch Is a Success (imore.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    is like second smartest kid with downs.

  11. I've been actively boycotting Sony for about a decade now. Not that I buy many DVDs, but I have put a few back on the shelf (and downloaded it instead) after realizing they were from Sony Pictures.

  12. First order of business on Microsoft Wins $927 Million Pentagon Contract To Provide Technical Support (petri.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's get your login linked to your microsoft account.

  13. Burner SIM just for your dealer.

  14. I doubt there's a good way to encrypt and write RAW to an SD card in real-time and maintain the rapid capture rates everyone wants. You'd need a relatively large processor and cache, which would then become the new point of attack.

  15. Re:Does This Relate To Personal Drive? on New Study Shows Marijuana Users Have Low Blood Flow To the Brain (eurekalert.org) · · Score: 1

    Are they unmotivated, or is life pointless?

  16. So you're saying we should sear up some rhino steaks while we still have the chance.

  17. Usually the ebooks cost roughly the same as the paperback. In that case, I'd rather own a physical object.

  18. Re:Turning Green is the least of your worries on Audi's Traffic Light Information System Tells You When The Lights Are Going To Turn Green (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I think this varies by location. In the city in which I reside, it's common to see 1-2 people sneak through every red light. When your light turns green, you can just about guarantee there's one more person entering the intersection against the red. I think it's gotten to the point that it's expected, just don't try going two towns over and pull that shit.

  19. Re:Gopher was a stepping stone... on The Rise and Fall of the Gopher Protocol (minnpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Seemingly long after Gopher, around the advent of Napster, I remember searching automated IRC channels for FTPs hosting new release VCD images. I spent so much time after school hogging the T1.

  20. Re:Here's an obvious power saving solution... on Gaming Computers Offer Huge, Untapped Energy Savings Potential · · Score: 2

    Sometimes my gaming PC turns itself off WHILE I'm using it...damn PSU.

  21. Re:Bah on Latest Samy Kamkar Hack Unlocks Most Cars · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's such a small subset of robberies because thieves know that kicking a door down in the middle of the night is likely to be met with buckshot.

  22. Lynnfield on Intel's Skylake Architecture Reviewed · · Score: 1

    I'm still gaming on a Lynnfield. So, yeah, just about due for an upgrade.

    Just export a .pst file of all your emails and import into your successor's outlook. Keep the file for backup.

  24. Explosives taped to their back on US Airport Screeners Missed 95% of Weapons, Explosives In Undercover Tests · · Score: 1

    The lesson here: So long as the explosives aren't anywhere near your crotch, you'll probably pass the pat-down.

  25. The real Q: Price Drops?? on NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti Costs $350 Less Than TITAN X, Performs Similarly · · Score: 1

    I'm hoping this spurs some price drops on the rest of the 900 series. I've been itching for a good GPU sale. I'm still running an old 465 and it has become the bottleneck on my system. I'll probably settle for a 960 since that would be ~400% improvement on my current card (well, maybe not quite since my current mobo doesn't support 3.0) and wouldn't break the bank, but I'd really like to see the 970 come down a bit more in price. The 970 is probably overkill for what I do since I don't think I'll be moving to 4k any time soon, but I do run dual monitors and often keep a movie playing whilst I'm gaming so the extra RAM would be appreciated. It would be nice to know I have a card that should carry me all the way through my next build. Also, for anyone considering getting into an Oculus Rift, remember that a 970 is the minimum required spec. I really doubt there'll be any drastic price drops any time soon, but a boy can dream.
