  1. You know one of those pesky bit's of journalism. Try and tell your reader what you are talking about. No where in the summary or article does it mention what Slack does or why someone would use it, which I guess is fine because it obviously sucks.

  2. "There is no opportunity for a free market force to come in and force these leeches on the taxpayers to do their fucking jobs properly "

    Isn't that what Sci-Hub is doing? Are they not the market force?

  3. Re:Political purposes on Intelligence Chairman Accuses Obama Aids of Hundreds of Unmasking Requests (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree with that, but I need more then just Nunes' word. I mean an accusation is nice and all but without actual evidence it should always be suspect.

  4. Apple does not have any patents for LCD displays. it would probably cost them more to build a plant and license the various patents then sourcing them from the world leader.

  5. You do know that Foxconn made a similar announcement in 2013 during the Obama Administration tregarding a plant in Pennsylvania.
    https://www.cnet.com/news/foxc...

    So yeah I think that could have easily happened since it fucking did.

    If you want to know how this will probably end:

    https://www.washingtonpost.com...

    Now admit you were wrong.

  6. I'll believe Foxconn is building a plant when Foxconn builds a plant. Otherwise it would not be the first time Foxconn makes an announcement like this and then when the focus is gone they forget the whole thing.

  7. Sure, 1 to 3 billion by some reports in incentives. Let's not forget when Foxconn made a similar announcement regarding Pennsylvania in 2013 that it completely failed to follow through on. Also look at their dealings with Indonesia, India, Vietnam and Brazil. It's a nice PR bump for those involved but I'm not believing shit till ground is broken.

  8. Re:The problem is systemd breaking unexpectedly on DNS Lib Underscore Bug Bites Everyone's Favorite Init Tool, Blanks Netflix (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Exactly how is this insightful? The parent is going on a rant about systemd when it was libidn2 that had the bug.

  9. How is that different from QOS? on Comcast Says Should Be Able To Create Internet Fast Lanes For Self-Driving Cars (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    QOS is allowed under net neutrality regs so, WTF Comcast.

    Why are you talking about us PC gamers?

  11. Re:This is why not to use open source on Media Player Classic Home Cinema (MPC-HC) for Windows Pushes What Could Be Its Last Update (mpc-hc.org) · · Score: 1

    You mean like Windows Vista?

  12. Way to insult the people you want to meet.

  13. Kickstarter to Facebook on The Oculus Rift Still Isn't Selling, In a Worrying Sign For VR (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I think Occulus has a PR problem, as they went from a Kickstarter that people were excited about and then they pretty much instantly turned around and sold themselves to Facebook. That pissed off their customer base and drove them away in droves.

    Funny how neither HTC nor Sony are complaining or slashing prices.

  14. The President can use what ever he wishes, but all his public communications are public property and thus meant for all.

  15. Disagree, there is nothing special about the POTUS account. It's just another Twitter account and not an official US channel of communication. It just matters what the president uses.

  16. For that price on Would You Buy the iPhone 8 If It Cost $1,200? (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    It better have a gtx 1080 built in.

  17. Re:But isn't he right? on Tech Boss Attacks 'Whiners' in Angry Email (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes explain yourself.

    "I just found out" - All's cool you reported a murderer right away.
    Otherwise you are an accomplice and yeah that needs lots of explanation if you want to avoid repercussions.

    Number 1 rule, DON'T FLIRT AT WORK, it's not why you are there and it's not what your employer is paying you for.

    When your industry runs on venture capital, tech bosses tend to be financial firms.

  20. Re:Why this when Apples sysem is WORSE? on Google May Face Another Record EU Fine, This Time Over Android (itwire.com) · · Score: 2

    So now we are going to punish Google for what consumers expect? Basically what you have described is that Google already has options that meet the EU's requirements, just nobody wants them be cause the lack the very thing the EU is bitching about. I guess the EU just wants Google's money.

  21. Re:Why this when Apples sysem is WORSE? on Google May Face Another Record EU Fine, This Time Over Android (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Except Google doesn't really do that. If you want to use the trademarked name Android, yes you must include Google services, but nothing stops you from replacing them and calling it something else.

  22. When did Slashdot become a place of so much vileness, racism and misogyny?

    Some of you guys have some serious problems.

  23. No feeding the trolls.
