  1. Re:Not really surprising. on Ubisoft Uplay DRM Found To Include a Rootkit · · Score: 1

    "I'd seriously rather play League of Legends. And that is the grindiest fest of all." It's PS3 rather than PC, but if you want a grindfest, check out the Disgaea series....;)

  2. Yet again... on Ubisoft Uplay DRM Found To Include a Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Pirates get a better product than buyers...

  3. Good move on Google's part... on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Take one of the biggest, most popular sites in the world and start driving people away from it.

  4. Re:two quick points... on Viacom and DirecTV Reach New Agreement · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and those papers have been slowly dying because no one wants yesterday's news laden with ads and having to pay for it on top of everything compared to TV/Radio/Internet up to the minute news...

  5. Re:Viacom: your name is mud. on Viacom and DirecTV Reach New Agreement · · Score: 4, Informative

    That's part of the reason Cable/Satellite doesn't offer "build-your-own" packages where you can choose the channels you want....

  6. Re:two quick points... on Viacom and DirecTV Reach New Agreement · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I've said that for years. PLUS, if so many of Viacom's channels are primarily AD-supported (MTV and Nickleodeon runs TONS of commercials), pulling the channels off of Direct TV means fewer viewers, meaning the advertisers are getting ripped off by Viacom. Viacom and companies like it should be PAYING the cable and satellite companies to carry their channels. If you want to charge for access to the channels, those channels shouldn't be double-dipping and showing commercials as well....

  7. Re:Good on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 1

    Yes, but Microsoft can no longer gouge/rape/ripoff people who are wasting money on a new overpriced OS they don't need... Think of the poor spoiled MS drones... they need your money more than you do...

  8. Re:who owns the uspo? on Apple Wins Mobile Patent On Displaying Lists, Documents · · Score: 1

    A-fucking-men. They do realize that they are making the anti-patent crowd's argument for them with this kind of stupid shit. right?

  9. Re:remember that raise you didn't get? on US "the Enemy" Says Dotcom Judge · · Score: 1

    Agreed, the "foreign" brands are becoming more American. It seems like the "Big Three" (and living in the Metro Detroit Area, I see the ignorant "Buy American!" stickers and sentiment all over) keep shipping jobs overseas and the foreign automakers keep building plants in America, employing Americans. At least they're smart enough to setup away from Detroit and the Union Mentality...

  10. Re:remember that raise you didn't get? on US "the Enemy" Says Dotcom Judge · · Score: 1

    What can you find that is made in the USA anymore? Also, I'm not in the "Top 5% richest people" group. I have to take care of my household and family on the money I do make. I can't just raise taxes to get more money. I'm going to buy what's affordable. Gotta bring down the cost of living before we get the manufacturing jobs back. The cost of labor and all the benefits Americans expect (and need due to the failure of the American government [healthcare anyone?]) is going to have to drop a lot, or the government is going to have to implement some serious protectionist tariffs on imported goods before the US can complete on labor costs with China. Politicians and corporations don;t give a shit about people, only power and money. That's why nothing is getting fixed or improving.

  11. Re:OSS phones with no source??? on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    Most users just want a phone that works and have no interest in programming them themselves

  12. Re:six hundred dollars? on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    More fuel for the "patents are garbage and the whole system should be scrapped" crowd...

  13. Re:Mixed feelings on ADA May Force Netflix To Provide Closed Captioning On Content · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't adding the CC to movies/shows that don't already provide it be a copyright violation?

  14. Re:you're all worthless and weak on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 2

    Slashdot is more "Lord of the Flies" than modern America....

  15. Re:you're all worthless and weak on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 2

    Agreed. Now it's all "Everybody gets a trophy" and "You can have self-esteem and self-respect without actually earning it."...

  16. Re: O RLY? on Why Bad Jobs (or No Jobs) Happen To Good Workers · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Work for less, and do much more work and put in lots of unpaid overtime. Makes the books look good and burns out the workforce real fast...

  19. Re:What do we think? We don't know! on Listen to the RIAA's Appeal In Jammie Thomas Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's "cheaper" and less legally risky to go to the store and shoplift the CD or game than it is to Download it...

  20. Re:What do we think? We don't know! on Listen to the RIAA's Appeal In Jammie Thomas Case · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'd like to see an "Intellectual Property Tax" passed on the rights holders, I bet the songs aren't valued by the holders at 150,000 per track anymore at that point....

  21. Re:Please on California City May Tax Sugary Drinks Like Cigarettes · · Score: 1, Troll

    He's right though, and that scares you as the sheeple are slowly waking up and seeing what your type is trying to pull...

    And now that I think about it, that's also a good way to distract the cop while your accomplices commit some other crime...he's busy watching you instead...
