Even if all of this is true (it isn't; but skipping over that), her social media, financial, and email accounts have been hacked, and explicit photos revealed from that were sent to her were sent to her friends and family.
Can you maybe see how a. that sort of thing doesn't happen to men in the industry, and b. how very wrong it is to do stuff like this because of rumors of VIDEO GAME ETHICS VIOLATIONS?
Yes, but the frame of reference matters. The point is that, amongst the gaming population, women are a sizeable demographic. The makeup of the population at-large might explain that preponderance, but it doesn't mean the numbers are immaterial.
Specs are nice, but what does the thing WEIGH? One of the major advantages to chromebooks etc. is that they're light enough for you to carry around without feeling like you're strapped to a gold brick.
browse at 2+, and threads look like a coherent discussion of the issues broached in TFA.
Only if you agree with the overall tone of the thread. Moderation re-enforces the party line, and the choice of articles and/or post content are catered to generate interaction. Unpopular threads get pushed down pretty fast and hard, or (worse) are barely moderated at all.
You know, in a way, Facebook is the best thing to happen to web communities in years - the threads are incomprehensible and move so fast but the audience is so large that it's basically flypaper for wingnuts.
Then again, comment blockers and Ghostery make this largely a non-issue for me anyway.
You guys realize that slashdot is just as clickbait-y and unreasonable and targeted as Jezebel, right? The headlines here are designed to drive comments and pageviews equally as hard by leaning on the same sorts of buttons, you just don't realize it as often because the buttons they push reenforce your own viewpoints and biases.
Yeah, that's WAY more efficient than establishing the relationship in advance and just Fedexing the document back and forth once it requires a signature.
Brightness can be modified by building your app with dark colors. It still "glows" but at least it doesn't glow white. See mobilemouse for a great example.
You have a dedicated TV remote now; replacing it with a phone is silly. Buy a cheap tablet or iPod Touch and use it for just this purpose, or at least related purposes. iPods also remember your last open app if you close it down with the power button instead of the home button, saving you the trouble of renavigation.
Fuck you slashdot and your ever more clickbaity headlines. I've been coming here for nerdstuff since the 90s but it makes me angry now more often than it teaches me anything.
"My Blackberry Q10 has a removable battery, and it reboots itself whenever I set it down on a desk too hard. Most or all smartphones with removable batteries that I've used in the past did the same thing."
"Weird. Every phone I've ever owned has a removable battery. Not one has ever done this, even when accidentally I drop them on the floor. How hard are you slamming them down?"
"This has *everything* to do with the jackass owner trying to ensure that nobody can take their own pictures, because I guarantee he's got a photographer onboard who's taking "professional" pictures which are sold at ludicrous prices. Have you *been* to a themepark?"
Think that through for a second. Any technology in place to affect client's cameras will also affect the hired photographer's cameras.
Also, even if you ignore the deceptiveness of the formatting of the original list, and while I appreciate that they cited the source, I really wish it wasn't from a website whose sub-headline is "Conservative Policy Research and Analysis."
Glass doesn't have an internet connection or GPS chip of its own. I would assume it disappeared from the 'net as soon as she and her phone moved out of bluetooth range.
For fuck's sake guys, there was so much more interesting information in that report and you went for the linkbait-iest piece of crap on the list.
Have some fucking self respect. Check your sources. Be a goddamned editor.
The rest of you: follow the link to the.pdf and read at least the
Highlights of the report. It's fascinating.

So close. SO close.
"Smart iPants" is what you were reaching for.
And yet somehow managed to be the sanest person in this conversation.
I'll get over it.
How I know somebody on the internet is completely off their rocker: "False Flags."
Disagreeing with somebody doesn't make their content flamebait. It could be you're just wrong.

Don't justify this crap. It's disgusting.

I'm predicting a run on vacuum sealers.
2 reasons:
1. because they aren't designed to be easy for YOU, they're designed to be easy for HR to put in a database.
and relatedly,
2. because applying for jobs online can't be too easy because otherwise the signal-to-noise ratio suffers.
...Are you fucking kidding me? If there's a shark, /. just jumped it.
Long may it reign.

Forgive a potentially stupid question, but how is this going to work with snow on the ground?

This hits all your points I think?

Lame, dudes. Super lame.
You weren't at the last PAX Prime, nor will you be at the upcoming PAX East. Any story behind that?

ANECDOTE FIGHT!
