  1. Playing fast and loose with the truth? on Class-Action Lawsuit Accuses AT&T of Lying To Customers About DirecTV Now (kctv5.com) · · Score: 1

    Kinda like 5GE isn't it? Make that shyte up and trowel it out.

  2. Re:Oh, good Lord... on Facebook, Google, Twitter To Face US Lawmakers About Tech 'Censorship' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right, the law is clear, but you're also wrong. You can protest on the PUBLIC SIDEWALK that runs past a privately owned parking lot, but you do not have a right to trespass on private property to protest. Just like you can protest on the sidewalk outside a bank, but you can't trespass inside the bank to protest without consequences.

    Municipal airports are publicly owned, not private property.

    Your third point is wrong because your first two points are wrong. No one has "a right" to trespass on private property to protest.

  3. Only, there's nothing benign about it.

  4. Don't use it, don't care on Chrome Should Get 'Extremely Fast' at Loading a Whole Lot of Web Pages (cnet.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Haven't used Chrome, or any fork, for a couple years. And since ms improvements in today's browsers are not meaningful in anyway, I don't see the point.

  5. Someone's tinfoil hathas come off again on Ask Slashdot: What Could Go Wrong In Tech That Hasn't Already Gone Wrong? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or they're off their medication again.

  6. Yea, self regulation works better than gov't regs on Facebook Pays Teens To Install VPN That Spies On Them (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How's that working for ya?

  7. Same scam cable TV runs on YouTube TV Opens To the Whole US (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    60+ networks for $40/mo. I don't want 60+ networks. I only want the ones I watch. That was the whole reason I cut the cable, so they're not enticing me back by troweling out the same garbage channels at an inflated price.

  8. Guidelines with no effective means of enforcement on YouTube Cracks Down on 'Harmful and Dangerous' Challenges and Pranks (polygon.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They can publish all the "feel good" guidelines they want. Until they can effectively and promptly enforce consistent guidelines, it's all marketing drivel aimed at keeping the lawyers and regulators at bay.

  9. Re:Why is it always MongoDB? on 200 Million Chinese Resumes Leak In Huge Database Breach (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Really? User error? So completely and obviously unprotected? Can't think of any reasons to open such a db, briefly, on purpose?

  10. Plants respond to stimuli on Plants Can Hear Animals Using Their Flowers (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    Nothing new here except they're calling it "hearing" because people can hear a bee's wings beating. Another case of anthropomorphism click bait.

  11. You can repair it now, but you void the warranty. Don't like the manufacturer's rules, buy something else. It's that simple.

  12. Re:Well that's just terrific on Jony Ive Returns To Apple Design Management Role After Two Years (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2

    Or, you could take ownership and responsibility for your data by doing backups to an external hard drive or could service.

  13. T-Mobile is doing BOGO on Note 8's, Verizon sells them 50% off, Note 7 owners can get up to $425 discount from Samsung. And until 24 Sept. you can get up to $230 of accessories free with it. They sell like hotcakes when they're cheapened. Eats into profit though. Good thing the Samsung OLED division is making iPhone screens profitably.

  14. Re:Negligence on Marcus Hutchins' Code Used In Malware May Have Come From GitHub (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, what he did was more like planning the robbery, made that plan accessible to others, then acted surprised that someone used his plan to rob the bank.

  15. Split 3X on Bitcoin Is Forking. Again. (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When one pyramid scheme isn't enough to fuel speculation, triple down on it.

  16. Several on Ask Slashdot: Your Favorite Subscription Services? · · Score: 1

    Apple Music
    Netflix
    Hulu Plus (no commercials tier)
    Amazon Prime (video and free shipping)
    FilmStruck
    Adobe Creative Cloud

  17. There is an obvious solution on British Airways CEO Won't Resign, Says Outsourcing Not To Blame For IT Failure (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Outsource the CEO position and fire Cruz; see how he likes it.

  18. Re:More specifically on Oracle And Cisco Both Support The FCC's Rollback Of Net Neutrality (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Since each end user location (think individual home) has a single connection to the internet through a single ISP through which the occupants of that location may need to (per your example) concurrently play a streamed game, stream a movie, and make a VoiP call, how does that ISP realistically argue they can provide different quality and speed of connections to all members of the household at the same time?

  19. I don't mind paying taxes on Apple Has a Record $250 Billion In Cash, 90% of It Is Banked Overseas (phonearena.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't mind paying my taxes. I get a lot in return. I mind that corporations doing business in the USA, and other people, don't pay taxes.

  20. Verizon on Slashdot Asks: Which Wireless Carrier Do You Prefer? · · Score: 1

    4 smartphones and a Samsung LTE tablet, unlimited data plan, heavy data users, $279/mo includes payments for a Pixel phone and a Droid high end phone (we own the iPhone 6+ and 6S). Always have good coverage, good calls, no drops, fast data, no complaints. We've been with Verizon since our first cell phones. We're always open to offers, but so far no one has beat VZ on quality. Price maybe, but connections, stability, speed and quality count for a lot. Cheap service isn't a value if you can't use it.

  21. It's not spying on EFF Says Google Chromebooks Are Still Spying On Students (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    It is a one-way business relationship in which Alphabet monetizes user data and gets the money, and the people who purchase Chromebooks or use Chrome browser, get the business.

  22. Re:That's what augmented reality means? on Facebook Adds a Login Shortcut To Other Android Apps (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Meh, wrong annoying Facebook thread lol

  23. That's what augmented reality means? on Facebook Adds a Login Shortcut To Other Android Apps (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I had set my bar higher than this. Not interesting, nor needed. On a par with cute cat videos.

  24. Meh, who cares on Steve Wozniak Predicts The Future (usatoday.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Steve Wozniak predicts ... TLDR, who cares. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but his 15 minutes expired decades ago.

  25. Re:Hate to State the obvious but... on No More IP Addresses For Countries That Shut Down Internet Access (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1
