What's the connection with anything? A bunch of people like it, a bunch of people don't. You could say the same for all the other geek stuff like D&D, techno music, comic books and so on. Anyone who claims people have to be crammed into a specific mold is an asshole.
Not really, it's a "buy the $60 dvd/bluray with less steam and fewer lightbeams" tactic for the broadcast episodes to be censored then in a few months the disc release will be uncensored. Some shows broadcast an uncensored version in the first place (on premium cable) but it's pretty rare. Crunchyroll streams the broadcast version for their simulcasts.
My office computer is set to lock on wake and lock on screensaver, and some days I'll forget to win+L and come in to work the next morning, wiggle the mouse to wake the monitor, and the computer will not be locked.
This isn't new to Windows 10, either. My 8.1 laptop, when I open the lid there's a 50/50 chance it will automatically unlock itself. I open the lid, the screen turns on to the clearly labeled "This computer is locked" screen, which will then sometimes within a second or so slide up automatically without me touching a thing.
If it happened every single time then obviously I fucked up on the configuration, but when it only sometimes works, I'd like to know what the hell is going on.
(damn subject line limits, 1 letter too short) I want to know how long before we admit that nobody is ever going to be allowed to smoke on a domestic flight in the USA again so the airlines can paint on a "No Smoking" sign and repurpose the "No Smoking" light to one where the pilot can indicate when we're allowed to get our portable electronic devices out or when it's time to put them away again.
And if someone posts an ad for a 10 year old cotton-candy making machine for sale, do you really want Jay to be charged when it turns out by "10 year old" the ad meant "10 year old" and by "cotton-candy making machine" the ad meant "girl"?
They made up their own code tag called <ecode> for that. It's been a while since I've tried it though, it might be broken too like half the other stuff around this joint.
hidden fields are unclickable, but they do need to be sent
The point here is that hidden/offscreen/behind logo/transparent/etc AUTOFILL fields should NOT be sent.
While the idea has merit for consideration, the issue I see with it is going to be blind/tab navigation where you can tab into things you can't see and therefore confirm them. Screen readers should read the text being inserted and thus alert the user, but how many times have you ignored the fact that focus jumps all over when you're tabbing through a login form? (It's a minor annoyance for me when I tab from the username field and end up on some help button, tab again and end up on some lost password button, tab again and end up on some checkbox to remember me, before finally getting to the password box. The steam checkout page used to be a complete nightmare for navigation.) Would you really notice if you hit tab and the focus didn't go where you think it should? Or would you just keep tabbing until it got where you want.
It does, it doesn't, it's got android 2.3.5 and a kernel compiled in 2012. The webkit version on it is so old it can't use the play store's (and many other websites) encryption cipher, and the android version on it is too old to install Chrome.
My HTC EVO 4g still stands by for days without recharging, and hasn't gotten a single damn update - security or otherwise - since around 2012. I only got a new phone last year because Sprint shut down the 4G WiMax signal it used in favor of 4G LTE.
Not buying a new phone every 2 years means no security patches.
It's not new and it's not surprising. Don't encourage them, it's just a front for harassment
Sometimes things aren't about misogyny and racism. I watched the video just now. The guy who made the video changed its name to distance himself from the gamergate group precisely because the video has nothing to do with them.
The video covers a case where a magazine ran an ad for a game that promised way more than the game delivered, and after publishing letters from the readers complaining about how misleading the ad had been, the game publisher threatened that they would stop advertising in the mag if they kept printing critical letters, and followed through on their threat. Then there was the magazine for Sinclair that ran reviews of several games using faked screenshots. It also covered Atari giving two magazines the exclusive right to review Driv3r (which, as the third game in a popular series, was very much anticipated and hyped) on the PS2 and Xbox in exchange for their promise to give it a 9/10 review. The magazines did so, and when the game launched as a complete shitshow, while the magazines and developers were running damage control (read: banning forum users and deleting posts, then hiring some "marketing" company/"reputation" manager to post on forums pretending to be a satisfied customer) one of the magazine's editors came out and basically said since they were playing a pre-release copy they expected bugs, and since they were told that the bugs would be fixed, they think their 9/10 score was legit.
Which is really just stock android with a few nice tweaks that don't include permanently installed nascar, facebook and blockbuster apps or a long, obnoxiously loud boot video, all of which came on my previous Sprint phone.
It's been good to me so far (about 3 months). I haven't had any serious issues, though once I attempted to make a note for myself by sending myself an SMS like I used to do on my previous phone, and that seemed to have completely confused Messenger into not sending anything at all to anyone until I deleted that outgoing text. I bought a $10 case for it off of Amazon, which it really needed because the camera lens sticks out the back, making me worry about scratching the screen if I set it face down, or scratching the lens if I set it down facing up. According to the battery meter I should get about 5 days standby, I don't really watch movies or play games on it so I don't know how long the battery lasts while in use. I believe their "OxygenOS" is almost stock android (phone says it has Android 6.0.1 right now, there's a beta build of 7.x Nougat but I'd rather not beta test on my phone). There's no SD card slot, the built in storage is all you get (I've used 4.24GB of 52.66GB available of the 64GB storage) and then you either push it to the cloud or unload on your computer.
I'm not sure it's offered by any US carriers with a contract, I paid full price to order it, it came with their "dash" charger and a USB -> USB-C cable (great since I don't own anything else with a USB-C connector).
SIMs with rounded corners, duh. Or maybe the patent is on a method of inserting SIMs into a phone with no slots for a SIM tray via quantum tunneling.
My boss has Apple everything and has been wanting a phone with dual SIMs so he can have one company line and a personal line on the same phone. My oneplus 3 already has this.
Of course! That is, assuming you're shipping to or from an Amazon warehouse. If you're shipping to or from WalMart you can use the app for 15% though I'm sure they've already developed their own logistics system to stock their warehouses.
I bet it doesn't even cover the $19 they were paid to pretend to delete the user's data. Once again, crime pays as long as you have that corporate veil to protect you from being personally responsible for your actions.
properly licensed by the same government officials
The guy showing up at a pizza restaurant with a gun to "investigate it" is a retard, but this case is yet another entry in the list of things that has been bugging me about the "fake news" thing.
Why are we calling this "fake" news instead of "incorrect news" or "wrong news" or "wacko conspiracy theory"? My guess is that deep down, the people that are pushing back against what they call "fake" news doesn't care about truth or falsehood, only the messenger.
Perhaps they'll decrease to the point where they cost little or nothing.
Without the cost of labor, prices can only decrease to the point where they cost what the raw material they're made from costs, plus the stockholders' profits.

Fortunately for health insurance providers, if you're dead, you can't be surveyed.

Sooo you expect someone at Slashdot to read every single link people post to make sure it isn't kiddy pron?
wtf
Slashdot editors have a hard enough time getting the links in articles right, I can't imagine what would happen if they had to edit every comment too.
And if someone posts an ad for a 10 year old cotton-candy making machine for sale, do you really want Jay to be charged when it turns out by "10 year old" the ad meant "10 year old" and by "cotton-candy making machine" the ad meant "girl"?

And you know this because you tried it and didn't hear anything?

This is how I use my laptop as a massively oversized mp3 player on long flights.

Well, OBVIOUSLY the car that slammed into the stopped car missed that.

Because they aren't bankrupt yet. And if they can limp along another year or two they'll be past any clawback provisions in the law.
I'm guessing they don't read slashdot, and it probably wasn't on the 9 o'clock news.

But does it miss the point of Silicon Valley driving the minimum wage workers farther and farther away until they quit commuting?
