  1. Re:Use Brave on Firefox vs Chrome: Speed and Memory (laptopmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Meh. Brave "removes" ads... only to replace them with its own. No thanks.

  2. I think it would be safe to say that ANY diet is a factor in 100% of deaths. Face it, no matter what you eat or in what quantities, you're going to die. In this case, eat garbage and you'll just have problems sooner. Which means that really, all diet really affects is quality of life and time (until your inevitable death...).

  3. Re:Open source software blamed for the breach huh? on Equifax Blames Open-Source Software For Its Record-Breaking Security Breach (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    It does not give a reliable answer. It has been found to give seemingly-random answers. Don't rely on it.

    Based on the U.S. population, minus people without a credit history (including everyone under 18), and number of people Equifax has announced to have had their data stolen (officially over 143 million), it is best that if you have any credit history at all... then you should probably consider yourself f***ed. Don't trust their little "tool." It's about as big of a joke as their security itself.

  4. Open source software blamed for the breach huh? on Equifax Blames Open-Source Software For Its Record-Breaking Security Breach (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder what they used for their horribly broken website https://www.equifaxsecurity201..., which can't even seem to reliably tell you if you were affected by the incident. But I'm not surprised that a company with such shitty security to allow practically all adult Americans' identities to be exposed can't even get their check to find out if you have been exposed right. But, based on the numbers, and subtract everyone who does not have a credit history (age 17 and under), it's safe to assume that *every* U.S. citizen with a credit history has to watch their asses from here on, for the rest of their life. Is Equifax going to blame open source software for that piece of shit site/impact checker too? Equifax... what a fucking joke.

  5. After high-tech explosives last year... on Galaxy Note 8 Sets New Pre-Order Record For Samsung Despite Last Year's Disaster (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    ...maybe this year people are expecting the new Samsung phone to be able to make grilled cheese sandwiches.

  6. Then why the fuck did he buy it? Maybe his company could have done less of a dick move by just selling the Sun properties that they were not interested in, like Solaris, so they could be given an actual, proper chance. Fuck Oracle.

  7. The creamy filling on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Android Oreo Features? (thehackernews.com) · · Score: 1

    Least favorite feature? The shell. I don't care for chocolate.

    Oh... *that* Oreo. I don't know, because this is the first I heard of Android Oreo, and I don't care because who knows when (and if) it will ever be pushed to my HTC 10...

  8. Re:non-remarkable non-LTS on Ubuntu 16.10 Reaches End of Life (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Awww... so you're saying I might make poor 'lil Poettering (however the hell you spell his name) cry. Awww, such a shame. Waaaaahhh....

    If he can't take a joke, that's his problem. If he, as a supposedly respected software developer, has nothing to do but scour Slashdot topics and find discussions that include him and whine because people make fun of him... then, well, that's actually pretty pathetic. He can cry all he wants.

    Can't we just etch a log into the sides of a steel bar and hit him upside the head with that instead? Maybe pass it on and play our own little version of pinatad?

  10. Re: And someone thinks this is news? on While Chrome Dominates, Microsoft Edge Struggles To Attract New Users (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Nope... you win the thread.

  11. Hell yeah!

  12. That's why they leave it to the third parties.

  13. They encouraged me way back when they were expecting us all to "upgrade" from XP to the piece of shit known as Vista. Windows, while getting better in stability thanks to NT, only got worse and worse with every version when it came to bloat and shittier defaults (XP required me to turn tons of useless shit off and tweak gazillions of settings to make it tolerable, but when I did it ran very fast and smooth). Vista, by comparison, was downright terrible.

    As far as security goes... come on, it's Windows. No matter what Microsoft says and would like us to believe, it's the same fucking operating system. Microsoft might patch things here and there, but usually *after* the vulnerability has already been exploited as a response to real malware that is already in the wild. They can't do much with the operating system, because it would hurt compatibility and user friendliness by breaking shit.

  14. Re: It is 100% illegal here even if it is turned o on Texting While Driving Now Legal In Colorado -- In Some Cases (kdvr.com) · · Score: 1

    To hit the power putton and turn it on?

  15. That would be easy enough. If it is ransomware the person writes, just get yourself infected by it and willfully pay the ransom.

  16. I only have five Shitcoins. What's the current exchange rate?

  17. Re:The death spiral was evident when they rebrande on Firefox Fail: Layoffs Kill Mozilla's Push Beyond the Browser (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Too bad the other products are crap too. Firefox has become crap because Mozilla has turned it into Chrome (which in my opinion is crap) with a new name. They're shitting upon all that once made it great and Chromifying the living fuck out of it. If I wanted to use Chrome, I would use it. Unfortunately, by using modern day Firefox, I am *still* effectively being forced into using Chrome, just rebranded.

    Wait--so you're saying that being beaten with clue sticks too much could even be hazardous to your health when done in excess? I swear, is *anything* fucking safe these days?!?

  19. That was AWESOME. That is all I have to say.

  20. Re: I don't see where the "threat" is... on LG Threatens To Put Wi-Fi in Every Appliance it Introduces in 2017 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The second someone hacks my refrigerator and makes my beer get warm, someone is going to DIE...

    And worse, with the future these dumbasses want, even light bulbs will be connected. So once an intruder has bypassed the fridge, surely it will be nothing to disable all the light bulbs, so good luck even finding your way to that warm beer in the first place!

    LG really is simplifying shopping; just add their name to the boycott list and avoid.

    You only just now decided to do that? I jumped off that sinking ship known as XP when the dark storm known as Vista started approaching and became too close for comfort. This was 2004-2006... there was a brief transition period during tht time when I was dual-booting but almost always using Linux, but since I blew away those NTFS partitions I never looked back. It's been great.

  25. Re:Solitaire's ok, I guess on Microsoft Solitaire Collection From Windows 10 Now Available For Android and iOS (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I *loved* Hover! I put so many hours in that game.

    I also was a fan of Monster Truck Madness, 1 and especially 2. Such a great modding community way back then, more tracks than you could possibly imagine. Loads of great ones from "Yeastman" and I distinctly remember one called "Darkstar" or something by a designer called Oliver Pieper (sorry for fucking up the name if I did, which is entirely possible--this was almost 20 years ago).

    I wish they would re-release those games for purchase on GOG.com... I'd buy them all again.
