  1. Water is wet.

  2. fb doesn't have pr0n. reddit has lots and lots of it.

  3. No. on Did Octopuses Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    That was easy.

    NEXT!

  4. Can't use Pandora anymore on Pandora Stock Surges 25% After User Data-Based Marketing Push (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    I primarily listened to Pandora on a web-enabled Bluray player, up until they re-did their site. Now the built-in Pandora app won't connect.

    Oh well. Their loss, I have a ton of music to listen to that doesn't require Internet at all.

  5. Re:All hail corporate greed on 'Is Curing Patients a Sustainable Business Model?' Goldman Sachs Analysts Ask (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, because who can possibly make it on a mere 4 billion dollars (this year)?

  6. "Sure, we could save humanity, but where's the profit in that? Fuck 'em."

  7. Facebook home products?? on Facebook Delays Home-Speaker Unveil Amid Data Crisis (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Why? I mean, other than to make Facebook more money and to encroach further on Google and Amazon's territory. But why would a Facebook user want such a thing?

  8. All of you Facebook users on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    What did you do before Facebook?

    Do that.

    Signed,
    Someone who never made a fb account and somehow still manages to make it through life anyway

  9. Strange game. on EA Created An AI That Taught Itself To Play Battlefield (kotaku.com) · · Score: 2

    The only winning move is not to play.

  10. As an Internet Helpdesk employee on Microsoft Wants To Force Windows 10 Mail Users To Use Edge For Email Links (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Our company has never fully supported the Win 8 or 10 Mail apps. If it works, fine, but if a user calling in has trouble with it, apart from checking the basic settings, our policy is to assist them in installing Thunderbird as a replacement or to point them towards webmail instead.

    Worst. Client. Ever.

    This is yet another step in the wrong direction.

  11. Yes, we know. on MoviePass Wants To Gather a Whole Lot of Data About Its Users (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    https://yro.slashdot.org/story... -- 5 whole days ago

  12. Of all the things there are to worry about... on Scientists Say Space Aliens Could Hack Our Planet (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    ....this is WAY down the list.

  13. Um... so what? Obfuscation already exists on WHATIS Going To Happen To WHOIS? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    My domain registrar (Hover.com, based in Canada) offers WHOIS obfuscation for free. I'd be an idiot not to take advantage of it.

  14. The short answer on Will Facial Recognition in China Lead To Total Surveillance? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes.

  15. Re:Maybe if they try something different. on Circuit City Is Coming Back (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    And I guess the link I posted mentions that Best bought them out. That explains that.

  16. Re:Maybe if they try something different. on Circuit City Is Coming Back (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    We had another localized chain in these parts that did the same thing, called Dolgin's.

    https://dfarq.homeip.net/remem...

  17. Oblig. Simpsons quote on How Pirates Of The Caribbean Hijacked America's Metric System (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    "The metric system is the tool of the devil! My car gets 40 rods to the hogshead, and that's the way I likes it!"

  18. Hey, you put your chocolate in my peanut butter! on Russia Is Accusing the US of 'Direct Interference' In Its Elections (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    You put peanut butter on my chocolate!

  19. What? This is happening in Nigeria?? on Uber Drivers In Lagos Are Using a Fake GPS App To Inflate Rider Fares (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I am shocked! Shocked, I tell you!

  20. Re:Time for alternatives to the Social Security # on This Time, Facebook Is Sharing Its Employees' Data (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I recommend a chip that will contain the information instead and which will be implanted in the head or in the hand.

  21. BBSpot already did it on When an AI Tries Writing Slashdot Headlines (tumblr.com) · · Score: 1

    http://www.bbspot.com/toys/sla...

    Even after all this time, it's still surprisingly good at emulating real submissions.

  22. Oh come on, it's a comedy on Silicon Valley 'Divided Society and Made Everyone Raging Mad', Argues Newsweek (newsweek.com) · · Score: 2

    Silicon Valley's sense of humor is not for everyone, but come on, Newsweek, this is taking it a little too far.

    I mean, I'm not so sure either about the next season given that it will be the first one without T.J. Miller, but I'm willing to give it a shot.

  23. Re:Prices are too high on Traditional PC Sales Continue To Slide (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless you are a serious gamer, you should be able to put together a really fast machine for WAY less than $1500.

    On that high of a budget, you should be able to run a Core i7, a GTX 1080, a really nice power supply, an SSD and a mechanical HD, etc. etc. That's not moderate, that's a f'in hotrod right there.

  24. Data theft = fact of life on Pizza Hut Leaks Credit Card Info On 60,000 Customers (kentucky.com) · · Score: 1

    Your personal and financial information has already been stolen, whether the company holding your data has admitted it or not (or more to the point, regardless of whether they even *know it* or not). And if it hasn't yet, it will be. Count on it.

    Your information is not stored safely, period. Just accept it, move on and conduct yourself accordingly. It's a fact of life these days.

  25. That's a heck of a length to go through on Ford Disguised a Man As a Car Seat To Research Self-Driving (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Just to try to hide a driver. I bet 95% of the drivers this car passes wouldn't even register a driver or a lack thereof.

    Not only are most people just plain not that observant, but what's the difference between this and a car with darkly tinted windows? I can't see the driver of that car, either.
