  1. What's the TOS say? on IoT Garage Door Opener Maker Bricks Customer's Product After Bad Review (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Did the guy agree that his device can be disabled at any time and the server side service is not a given?

  2. How about D2 LOD? on New Release Of StarCraft In 4K Ultra High Definition Announced (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    D2 obviously would be more work, but I would pay for it. It's still an active game and still more fun than D3. Much more replay value despite their numerous attempts to add replay value to D3. The reason? It allows for creativity in character building.

  3. Re:It's like a dream... on The US Army Finally Gets The World's Largest Laser Weapon System (bizjournals.com) · · Score: 1

    Because old high power systems were chemical lasers that fired once. These new ones can go as long as you feed em power.

  4. Re:Depends what you want on Ask Slashdot: Best Virtual Reality Headsets? · · Score: 1

    Forgot, rift also has better controls.

  5. Depends what you want on Ask Slashdot: Best Virtual Reality Headsets? · · Score: 1

    Rift is better visually and comfort wise. Vive can have a larger play area and is easier to get the room scale tracking right on. There are no other real headsets. The rest are novelties.

  6. A matter of task on 58% of High-Performance Employees Say They Need More Quiet Work Spaces (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    If I'm writing code or a query, I want peace and quiet. I'm If I'm troubleshooting I want people I can tell "hey, you seen this before"? Or "hey, did you do something to the blahblah server?"Problem is when you do both, which I do. I'm stuck in an open layout and mostly just grit my teeth and work slower when I'm doing things that require lots of concentration.

  7. Yeah... tax the consumers more instead... on Backlash Builds Against Bill Gates' Call For A Robot Tax (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Tax the robots and the business owners will just raise the prices. Well, someone has to pay to run the country. Tax the consumers more and they will just have less to spend with your stupid robots. Same end result...

  8. Re:Where is the Federal Criminal Probe on the CIA? on Federal Criminal Probe Being Opened Into WikiLeaks' Publication of CIA Documents (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    I see you posted "Anonymously" . Let me know how that works out for you lol.

  9. Re:OLED replaces CRT nicely on What the Death of CRT Display Means For Classic Arcade Machines (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    If it were only on during use it would be a non issue, but if left on all the time, just a couple years would probably have a big effect.

  10. Re:please do this for all places on More Fast Food Restaurants Are Now Automating (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it but I still tip. Also hate how the percent has gone up. Less than 18% now and you're a jerk. I'd rather have proper menu prices marked and just not eat at places with shitty service.

  11. Their logic is that the people who pay to view it incentivise its creation. They aren't wrong. It doesn't incentivise it here so much, but in foreign countries where enforcement is null and money is scarce. Honestly though, they need to do research and come up with a real strategy if they want to have an impact. While they're at it, they need to stop publishing names before they have convictions. That's total BS.

  12. Re:please do this for all places on More Fast Food Restaurants Are Now Automating (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Personally I just want my darn food while I talk with whoever I'm with. Having another human serve and cater to me does nothing for me and I hate tipping.

  13. There are less than 30 decent games... on Valve's Gabe Newell Says Only 30 SteamVR Apps Have Made $250,000+ (roadtovr.com) · · Score: 1

    Im surprised there are that many to break 250k. I own a rift setup and check the stores daily. Steam is full of shovelware and demos. Even oculus home is mostly experimental indie games. There just aren't many games worth buying, especially on steam! The ones that are worth buying, everyone gets.

  14. Re:Attack Software on Should International Travelers Leave Their Phones At Home? (freecodecamp.com) · · Score: 1

    Just warn them. Problem solved. If they still choose to plug it in, thats their problem.

  15. Re: Nope on Microsoft Says It Is Winning Its New War Against Macs (cultofmac.com) · · Score: 2

    It's the inability to be able to figure stuff out on your own in Linux that kills it for me. It's designed by people that deep down inside hate GUIs. You need Google to find out what they've decided you need to type into terminal to make things happen. If rather not open my self to that kind of irritating frustration.

  16. BTW, ethanol washes away oil on EPA Increases Amount of Renewable Fuel To Be Blended Into Gasoline (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This stuff is great for your motor...

  17. So... electromagnetic fields actually do something on Brain Cancer Patients Live Longer By Sending Electric Fields Through Their Heads (ieee.org) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When they're trying to calm us down its always "the fields do nothing, shut up, you're fine. They're non ionizing".

  18. Re:Nausea. on New 'Doom 3' Mod Successfully Ports It Into Virtual Reality (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Going slow helps a little, but what would help me the most would be having some sort of collision before the characters nose. Scraping sideways along walls turns my stomach faster than a falcon punch.

  19. Re:I am allergic to soybean on Scientific Breakthrough Increases Plant Yields By One Third (wsu.edu) · · Score: 1

    Same here lol. They already put it in EVERYTHING. With this advancment they'll probably just replace all food with it completely and ill be forced to grow my own food.

  20. To be fair... on Netflix Wants 50% Of Its Library To Be Original Content (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Most of what I watch on Netflix these days is their original content... Its generally well done and more intelligent than the hyper formulaic stuff TV stations churn out these days. 50/50 seems very drastic, but I would like to see more original content.

  21. Re:Doesn't solve the problem on 'Unpatent' Begins Crowdfunding Challenges To Bad Patents (unpatent.co) · · Score: 1

    Just make the company liable for paying the person any and all proffit they made from licensing the patent. Let free market handle it.

  22. Re:Wonder what the RNC is doing about now? on Guccifer 2.0 Releases More DNC Documents (politico.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    BS. The majority of the media is left leaning. They would love to pan the RNC.

  23. Re:They are gunna do WHAT? on Tesla To Further Restrict Its Autopilot Software To Prevent Accidents (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    Doubt its smart enough to not park you over the edge of something steeo, in mud, glass, etc... It follows lanes and looks at cars. Not setup for off road.

  24. Re:Big data is gonna kill small crime on 100 Arrested In New York Thanks To Better Face-Recognition Technology (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Thats basically like trying to force the effects of eugenics without having actual eugenics. Its not easy to modify instinctual behavior that easily. You can force it if you try hard enough, but you end up with an awfully oppressive society to achieve it. Might as well just go ahead with actual eugenics, just approach it from a positive reward system rather than a negative.
