  1. Helm today unveiled its $499 device that lets consumers send and receive email from their own domain,

    Is this an April Fools joke that was posted too early? What dumbass would pay that much money for this?

  2. Re:Two Words: on Sony Tries Using Blockchain Tech For Next-Gen DRM (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Which means nothing when nearly zero Bluray players, consoles, set-top boxes, etc. made in the last 5 years or so have analog outputs.

  3. Re:Idiots on Sony Tries Using Blockchain Tech For Next-Gen DRM (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Considering they are still around and still use DRM that should answer your question sufficiently.

  4. Re:Just imagine... on Pentagon Reveals Cyber Breach of Travel Records (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the device manufacturers are any better at security? Good joke... Good joke...

    It's not like we've heard about numerous data breaches of private companies or anything because of lax security practices. Nah, they're all impregnable and spend the most amount of money possible on security that they can.

  5. Re:Benefits are to Google's employee ideology too on Google CEO Tells Senators That Censored Chinese Search Engine Could Provide 'Broad Benefits' (theintercept.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    They can censor all that "offensive" stuff in the US too, help ensure that the "correct" people are elected to office.

    So true. That's why Democrats hold the majority of governorships, state legislatures, the Senate, the House and the Presidency. Oh wait...

  6. Yes, sometimes one sacrfices things to not help dictatorial regimes. The Chinese government is not gonna change because wants it to. Google needs the Chinese, the Chinese government has zero need for Google.

  7. Re:Sure will....censorship is good! on Google CEO Tells Senators That Censored Chinese Search Engine Could Provide 'Broad Benefits' (theintercept.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Of course. The benefits are to Google's bottom line not the people of China.

    What's the sense of refusing to provide any information on the basis that they're not allowed to provide certain additional information?

    Moral principles where you don't help in the oppression of people just to make a buck?

  9. Re:70 years beyond the death of the artist on President Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    If they're losers why do you care? Just avoid their music.

  10. Re:Who is still alive to receive those royalties? on President Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    You think all artists recording music before 1972 are dead? You're kidding right?

  11. Re:Does this mean that sometime on President Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    Sorry, CBS should be MTM which was merged with 20th Century Fox.

  12. Re:Does this mean that sometime on President Trump Signs Music Modernization Act Into Law (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    No. This law has no bearing on that at all. This law doesn't change the fact that the license expired for the music decades ago. CBS was always free to relicense they music, they just chose not to do so. Nothing about this law would unexpire that license.

  13. Re: I thought searches were supposed to reflect r on Microsoft Tackles 'Horrifying' Bing Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    No, I'm pretty sure the point was to lie about what Bing does.

    If by "nice" you mean the post is bullshit and made up.

  15. Re: I thought searches were supposed to reflect re on Microsoft Tackles 'Horrifying' Bing Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I did a Bing search none of those things were on any of the 5 pages I scrolled. The first result was a linux.com 'Windows to Linux Mogration Guide.' So basically, your post is complete and total bullshit.

  16. Re:Try writing better searches on Microsoft Tackles 'Horrifying' Bing Search Results (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Huh? A search engine by its very nature filters results. That's the whole reason you provide it with search terms which it uses to filter out things. Otherwise what would be the point?

  17. This isn't even good trolling...

  18. The H1-B outsourcing company that charges the least.

  19. Re:Doesn't even hit the "must haves" on Razer Phone 2 Launches With Notch-less Display, Wireless Charging, and RGB Lighting (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    It does have expandable storage.

    64GB of UFS storage with support for a microSD card

    And what does a headphone jack have to do with something being a gaming phone? How is a game's performance affected by the lack of a headphone jack?

  20. Why are you so obsessed with what other people do with their money?

    You miss the point. No one is wasting money with sneaky attempts at ads on Skashdot. The site has been relevant in years.

    If this were an ad why would they waste money here? This site doesn't even crack the top 5000 Alexa sites in the world. Even digg has a higher rank both in the US and worldwide in Alexa rankings.

    Why would they pay Slashdot anything? Slashdot is less relevant than even shitholes like Digg.
