  2. Re:Missed opportunity on Samsung Pay Launches In the United States · · Score: 1

    perhaps the fee that the credit card companies charge is related to the fraud protection and overhead that is involved with false charges and the related unrecoverable debts of cardhilders.

    Having had my butt saved by Google wallet, why would i uninstall that and go with Samsung pay?

  8. Re:What a clusterfuck on Clinton Surrendering Email Server/Data To Feds After Top Secret Mail Found · · Score: 1

    As Secretary of State, she'd be going all over on official US business, much of which would be expected to stay confidential. It's not possible to conduct all negotiations in the open. Some things need to stay secret, some for a while, some for a long time.

    Such as the negotiations on the part of the Prince of Oman.

    Already spent my mod points. Well said.

  10. Windows 7 as well on Broken Windows 10 Update Causes Reboot Loops For Some Users · · Score: 1

    Sound like the recent update that fails everytime on windows 7. Talk about wasting my time. If arch did this update before I get a login business, they would be sunk. Alas, most of my games are windows only so I will have to deal with it.

  12. Has dulse always tasted like bacon? on Scientists Develop Nutritious Seaweed That Tastes Like Bacon · · Score: 2

    It looks like it has always tasted like bavon when fried. Not a real innovation there but I do want to see dulse beer.

    Just use an old kernel like everybody else.

  14. The actual picture on Making the World's Largest Panoramic Photo · · Score: 1

    Well, the final product is a thing of beauty. I love how the black sections contrast with the snowy peaks.

  15. Re:"The Ego" on Former HP CEO Carly Fiorina Announces Bid For White House · · Score: 1

    she has way more government experience

    1) So did Palin (vs Obama) but that didn't stop the criticism there 2) Most of Hilary's experience is being the wife of Monica Lewinsky's ex-boyfriend 3) Finally, most good democrats cannot even find ONE accomplishment of Hilary, besides #2)

    Given the choice between Hilary and Carly, I'd take Carly. Which isn't actually saying much. Personally, I can't stand either of them.

    You do realize Hilary was Secretary of State right?

  19. sense to the argument. on Court Mulls Revealing Secret Government Plan To Cut Cell Phone Service · · Score: 1

    There is some merit to this. Amtrak, by the direction of the Feral Railroad Administration, already had guidelines for using electronic devices near suspected explosive devices. However, they is a matter if discretion. Is electronic communication used for dicumenting an event. Or is it used for sending a signal to detonate a device? It is hard to tell.

  20. Re:Alternatives are available... on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    The only thing I would want from qtorrwnt is a way to add previously downloaded content, via magnetlink, from the command line. I would love to be able to add a magnetlink and set the download location to where the content already resides. Then verify and seed. So far only transmission has allowed me to do this. Works very well with my reseeder tool.

  21. Re:Go back to utorrent 2.2.1 on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    You could just use the magnetlink for the torrent you want and cut the tracker portion at the end. Or write a little plugin to do it for you.

  22. Re:Why uTorrent? on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    The funniest part is their forum states they will not link to or tell you where to get older versions if their software. Talk about erasing the past.

  23. Re:What? on Samsung Officially Unpacks Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge At MWC · · Score: 1

    Think of their galaxy releases like Microsoft releases. Every other model is a winner. Take the s2 skyrocket and the s4 active. Both were solid phones with dedicated back and menu buttons. The s3 and s5 were not my cup of tea.

    I can say that this is a good alternative some days. Some days have the same stories as slashdot but with a lag. Some times before. And other articles you will not see here.
