  1. Re:Regulatory capture on 8 In 10 People Now See Climate Change As a 'Catastrophic Risk,' Says Survey (trust.org) · · Score: 2

    Exactly this.

    My position on climate change has always been why does it matter whether climate change is happening and whether it's man-made or not? This planet is the only one we have and polluting it isn't going to get us anywhere. That, and we need to get off fossil fuels as they are a limited resource. So subsidize the shit out of existing green energy tech and triple the R&D money going to new energy tech. Do that enough and the problem will fix itself.

    The Wild West of the internet has been ending for about 20 years now, but it's still alive and kicking.

    To both AMD and to those who are just waiting on their 1080 TIs and those who got their 1080s a few months ago.

    I just got my 1080 (not Ti), but it was $540, not $1,200. So I'm good, thanks...

  4. Re:Wow, sounds awesome on Nvidia Titan Xp Introduced as 'the World's Most Powerful Graphics Card' (pcgamer.com) · · Score: 1

    2 is ok. Most didn't like it as much, but if you liked 1, I think it's kind of more of the same. Bioshock 1 is a phenomenal game with incredibly atmosphere if you've not played the series.

    ...will it run Crysis?

    And of the 10 million, how many of them know they are "Windows Insiders"?

    DMT is nice and quick (15-30 minutes I hear). I've never done it, but wouldn't mind trying it.

    I know scientific method and all that, but I think it would be relatively easy to determine whether you were given the placebo or the actual LSD...

    That's not it, though. It's "moz://a" Stylized so the : kind of looks like an i. It looks better on their website than here.

    Yes. But they have a snazzy new logo!

    Love me some Trevor Moore.

  15. I hope there is some sort of awareness campaign happening across the pond, then. This is the most egregious technological privacy violation I've ever seen. For older people, it needs to be explained as the same as 48 organizations having access to the content of every individual slip of paper and written word in your house at any time they want it. Orwell would have blushed at the audacity.

  16. It's cool if you didn't want to RTFA as this is Slashdot after all. But you didn't even lightly skim the summary. Nobody's talking about daylight savings time...

  17. Wish I had mod points today.

  18. I used razor blades. But yeah, I could probably eyeball it without flipping another one over for reference...

  19. I can still smell what my power supply smelled like when it blew. Was not a pleasant smell.

  20. Re:Do not want. on 4K UHD TVs Are Being Adopted Faster Than HDTVs (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    You still watch OTA broadcast stations? I don't even have an antenna hooked up to my TV anymore.

    I do because it supplements netflix/other internet option well with all the local free content I need (don't have cable or sat tv). I get about 60 channels. Now granted probably 50 of them are crap, but I get CBS, NBC, ABC, PBS, and Fox for free. Granted this only works if you're within range of the broadcast antennas.

  21. Re:My favorite from TFA... on Valve Bans Developer From Steam After It Sues Customers Over Bad Reviews (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I can't believe ANYONE associated with this dev could think this was a good idea. It's possible you could have a user or two make serious threats, but 100? Sorry, didn't happen.

    And if you make games so bad as to inspire 100 people to send you death threats, maybe you should re-evaluate your chosen career...

  22. Re:Not running Windows 10 seems like a total fix on You Can't Turn Off Cortana In the Windows 10 Anniversary Update (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Many/most of the major AAA titles, unless they run under Wine. Steam has helped a lot with Linux gaming, but there are still a ton of games that won't run native on Linux. That is the only thing that has kept me from switching on my gaming machine at home. I "upgraded" to Win10 a while back and now wish I hadn't. I've turned off/blocked as much as MS allows me to turn off/block, but that's not all that much really. And now Cortana is coming back. Wonderful.

  24. Yes, but Ingress isn't a huge IP. Pokemon is.

  25. Re:How long will it last though? on Pokemon Game Adds $7.5 Billion To Nintendo Market Value In Two Days (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    In addition, you don't have to walk around at all if you don't want to. You can be in a vehicle. A friend of mine got 1 pokemon while we were driving along the freeway and 1 while on a residential road.

    If you're traveling above a certain speed (around 30 mph in the US) it won't work. Yes, you can occasionally grab a pokemon here and there, but it can't really be played reliably at highway speeds. There was a video of a guy who mounted his phone to a drone to play. Which kinda defeats the purpose, but is amusing.
