  1. Wow! on Apple Releases $300 Book Containing 450 Photos of Apple Products (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just when you thought their smugness and pretentiousness had peaked, they outdo themselves. Horrible, horrible, elitist excuses for human beings.

  2. Re:pleaaaaaseeee... on Hack Exposes 412 Million Accounts on AdultFriendFinder Sites (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    YIKES!

  3. LOL, "Courage"? More like GREED... on Apple Cites 'Courage' As Reason To Remove 3.5mm Headphone Jack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Courage" would be to stop making the phone thinner with less battery life and forcing owners to purchase overpriced items. Of course, Apple gets paid by any company that licenses their "Lightning Port" design. Courage? NO, more like GREED.

  4. Re:Weren't there security problems? on Adios Apt and Yum? Ubuntu's Snap Apps Are Coming To Distros Everywhere (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I was about to ask the same question. I would really like to know the answer.

  5. Apparently... on Visual Studio 2015 C++ Compiler Secretly Inserts Telemetry Code Into Binaries (infoq.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Microsoft has shed all pretense of shame and is adamant to infect everything with their spyware/malware behavior. This is very unfortunate. They keep removing any remaining reason to stick with Windows over OSX or Linux. Sad.

  6. In other words... on Microsoft Declines To Make a 64-Bit Visual Studio (uservoice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We don't want to do the work.

  7. Let me get this straight... on Samsung To Roll Out In-TV Ads To Legacy Displays Via Software Update · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The South Korean company, which has seen a 20.9% decline in television sales in Q1 of 2016 under fierce competition from China..." So they give consumers MORE reasons NOT to buy their TVs?!!!

  8. Might I suggest on Drones Being Used By Peeping Toms, The Military, And Terrorists (newsweek.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A garden hose defense system?

  9. I thought most intelligent people did that on The FBI Director Puts Tape Over His Webcam (npr.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Personally, I believe manufacturers should add a mechanical switch that disables camera and microphone that cannot be overridden via software.

  10. Age Discrimination on The Grumpy Programmer has Advice for Young Computer Workers (Video) · · Score: 1

    It is sad to see that Mr. Pendleton had an experience similar to my own. I was laid off the year I turned 48. Unlike him, however, I stayed in management despite hating it and still became unemployed. I hope Mr. Pendleton finds success and happiness in whatever he chooses.

  11. Named in honor of... on Debian 7.0 ('Wheezy') Release Planned For 1st Weekend in May · · Score: 1

    Wheezy Waiter?

  12. He has a good point. on The Only, Lonely Protester at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    Compare this to automobiles. Can you imagine the outrage if you could not buy auto parts? What if you had to go back to the auto manufacturer to have ANY part replaced.

  13. Will they also conduct a study... on School Shooting Prompts Legislation To Study Violent Video Games · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...of why these mass murders are not being caught by the mental health system? Before we jump to conclusions and condemn the tools used by these insane criminals, we need to find out WHY someone would want to commit mass murder and WHY the mental health system is not catching these people long before they commit these acts of murder.

  14. More important... on Singer Reportedly Outbids NASA for Space Tourist's Seat · · Score: 1

    How the heck did she get that kind of money???

  15. Re:BEST GAME EVER on Black Mesa Released · · Score: 0

    At least get the quote right. "I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure."

  16. A Voice Of Reason on Wozniak On the Samsung Patent Verdict · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It is truly sad that a voice of reason like Woz is so rare in "business" anymore.

  18. Re:I'm disappointed in Matias. $595 for a keyboard on Ask Slashdot: Single-Handed Keyboard Options For Coding? · · Score: 0

    I have several Kinesis keyboards. They, too, have a jacked up price, but not that bad!

    I guess this is the one. They have a demo on the site. http://matias.ca/halfkeyboard/index.php

  20. One handed mirror keyboard on Ask Slashdot: Single-Handed Keyboard Options For Coding? · · Score: 1

    Someone used to have a one-handed keyboard that was one half of a standard QWERTY keyboard. (You could choose which half.) They also had a software version that worked with standard keyboards. You could access the other side by holding the spacebar and typing the corresponding position for the desired key. For example, if you had the right-hand keyboard, while holding the spacebar, you would type 'L' to get 'S'. I was amazed how easy it was to use. I guess if you are a touch typist, you know which finger to use on the missing hand and use the corresponding finger on the hand that was present. Brainz are kool.

  21. Re:heh on OnLive Acquires OnLive · · Score: -1

    So something good did come from this.

  22. Good grief! It is France. What else do you expect from a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys? WHY would anyone want to go there?
