  1. Get Over It on Airbnb Has a Hidden-Camera Problem (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 2

    Cameras are everywhere. They are getting smaller and more plentiful every year. The world truly is a stage and we are the players. Be smarter than a politician and just assume you are always being recorded.

  2. You Only Need 3 Subscriptions on As 'Subscription Fatigue' Sets In, the OTT Reckoning May Be Upon Us (adweek.com) · · Score: 1

    You only need 3 subscriptions: 1. Netflix 2. Amazon 3. Bittorrent (for everything else) 4. Maybe a 4th for those who enjoy sports (that's extra)

  3. Thanks for giving me the push to finally move my computing infrastructure to Linux/BSD.

  4. Don't They Need A Rocket? on NASA May Sell Corporate Naming Rights For Rockets, Spacecraft (al.com) · · Score: 1

    Before they can start plastering adverts on a rocket they need an actual rocket. What are they going to put this on? SLS? Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha! Good one.

  5. I bought a Note 8. It is a fine phone. I WILL NOT, however, pay that much for a phone again. Not even for a Note phone. You can get everything in a Note phone but the pen and it is hundreds of dollars cheaper.

  6. I Would Say Boycott ... on Malls In California Are Sending License Plate Information To ICE (theweek.com) · · Score: 1

    but who goes to shopping malls now days? Just another reason not go to the mall. FTP.

  7. I am sure speak for a lot of people ... on Microsoft: We'll Help Customers Create Patents But We Get a License To Use Them (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    when I say f*ck you Microsoft.

  8. Gawd Dammit! on Slashdot Asks: Should Android OEMs Adopt the iPhone's Notch? · · Score: 1

    If I wanted an iPhone I would buy one. Stop copying Apple and do something creative instead.

  9. Re:Trump's administration issued the order on Trump Issues Order To Block Broadcom's Takeover of Qualcomm (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Ya, everyone with two brain cells to rub together as got Trump calibrated. He is a liar. If you don't like what he says, wait a few hours and he will do a complete 180.

  10. Lasting A Lot Longer You Say? on Why PC Sales Are Declining · · Score: 2

    I'll say, most of my company's employees are using 10 year old Gateway SFF Pentium 4 boxes running Windows XP. What is really scarey is that they are connecting to Novell servers (NOVELL!!!) that are even older than their desktops for file storage. I want to cry every morning when I go to work in the IT department for the shame of it.

  11. In My Will ... on Ask Slashdot: What Should Happen To Your Data After You Die? · · Score: 1

    I am leaving everything to my AI avatar. May the "Lord" have mercy on his/my soul, err, mind.

  12. Some buy this Bozo a clue on Man Who Tangled With The Oatmeal Ordered To Pay $46k · · Score: 1

    and point him to the Wikipedia page on the Streisand Effect ... oh, wait, here it is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streisand_effect

  13. Re:Great! "Delete" is an awesome band on Google Keep Labelled "Delete" · · Score: 2

    When I hear "Delete" I hear a Cyberman saying it. WTF is wrong with me?

  14. Re:I find it interesting .... on Google Fiber Expands To Olathe, Kansas · · Score: 1

    Oh, that's great for us mid-westerners. Next Omaha, Des Moines, St. Louis and Joplin? When Google gets to Denver I am soooooo moving. Imagine, 1GB Internet AND legal weed!

  15. Re:my company just switched from XP on Microsoft Urges Businesses To Get Off XP · · Score: 1

    We still haven't replaced the Pentium IV Windows XP machines I installed for my company back when I started in the IT department ... 10 years ago. I work for some cheap bastards.

  16. Re:Solution on Microsoft Urges Businesses To Get Off XP · · Score: 1

    This is already being worked on: ReactOS (http://www.reactos.org)

  17. Re:Don't let it fool you on Most SSDs Now Under a Dollar Per Gigabyte · · Score: 1

    You still have a POTS line?

  18. Seriously? on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: 1

    Linus is just saying what we are all thinking. The truth shall set you free.

  19. Re:Because... on Why American Internet Service Is Slow and Expensive · · Score: 1

    Evidently, you are new here.

  20. How Many Bitcoins Do You Need? on Hacked BitCoin Exchange Sued By Customers · · Score: 1

    I am thinking of purchasing some bitcoins to travel the turnpike called: Silk Road. I think I can keep that many bitcoins safe in my own AES encrypted storage.

  21. Seriously? on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Employee Vacation-Day Tracking Software? · · Score: 0

    This is basically a database application. An intern could write it. Hell, you could do the damn thing in Microsoft Access if you wanted *shiver*.

  22. The Post Modern Watch on Digital Generation Rediscovers Analog Wristwatches · · Score: 0

    I wear no time piece at all ... except for my pager and two phones.

  23. Evolutionary Selection Pressure on Media Companies Create Copyright Enforcement Framework · · Score: 0

    Keep up the pressure you copyright fascists. Bittorrent and file sharing in general will just become more distributed and encrypted. Here is an idea guys, feel free to use it, give the public what it wants, now and at a reasonable price and you wont have to worry about piracy. Duh.

  24. Douchebag Lawyers on Lawyer Attempts To Trademark Bitcoin · · Score: 0

    Does Anonymous have a public humiliation arm? If not, does anyone want to start one?

  25. What's Their Problem? on FTC To Open Antitrust Investigation Against Google · · Score: 0

    Google has a better product and no one is forced to use it. Makes me wonder who paid the FTC to look into this. Could it be ... oh ... I don't know ... Microsoft?
