  1. Worth it. on Seattle CEO Cuts $1 Million Salary To $70K, Raises Employee Salaries · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Giving up 930K to go viral and generate a ton of good will toward you and your company seems like an incredibly good deal.

  2. Re:You can get all of season 5 leaked on Nearly Half of Game of Thrones Season 5 Leaks Online · · Score: 1

    I thought he said you get a snowball effect in that any small change from the books in earlier seasons would make a bigger difference in later seasons, so season 5 might be somewhat different from the books but I don't think we'll see a "split." Still I think knowing the books can count as a leak because they shouldn't be *too* different.

  3. You can get all of season 5 leaked on Nearly Half of Game of Thrones Season 5 Leaks Online · · Score: 5, Insightful

    All you have to do is read anything about the books.

  4. T-mobile on Google In Talks To Create International Roaming Network · · Score: 1

    already has this for the most part, you get free unlimited text and data in over a hundred countries and with VOIP services these days you can easily call over data.

  5. Re:Oh? on 12-Billion-Solar-Mass Black Hole Discovered · · Score: 0

    I dunno a baby gazelle can run at it's max speed within an hour of it's birth.

  6. Piracy. on Wired On 3-D Printers As Fraud Enablers · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm just looking forward to downloading a car.

  7. Re:grandmother reference on Ubisoft Revokes Digital Keys For Games Purchased Via Unauthorised Retailers · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure they do sell keys at wholesale to other retailers though, I pre-ordered dying light through greenmangaming for 25% off for example. You'll also see downloads, which are essentially just a steam key, cheaper on amazon too.

  8. Re:The future is not UHD on UHD Spec Stomps on Current Blu-ray Spec, But Will Consumers Notice? · · Score: 1

    >The frame rates have increased a long with the resolution for a lot of 4k TV's. Nope. If anything 4K has set framerate (resfresh rate) back due to bandwidth constraints, you can get 120+ hertz with relatively old 1080p sets but even the most bleeding edge sets can only do 60 at 4K.

  9. Re:The (in)justice system on Innocent Adults Are Easy To Convince They Committed a Serious Crime · · Score: 1

    I don't understand. I see no connection between the DA not perusing cases with little to no merit and them offering plea bargains in cases they deem worthy of prosecuting.

  10. Pope Francis what happened to you... on Pope Francis: There Are Limits To Freedom of Expression · · Score: 1

    ...you used to be cool.

  11. ripe for shananigans on Google, National Parks Partner To Let Girls Program White House Xmas Tree Lights · · Score: 1

    Man, I hope the girls program the white house lights to read "Impeach Obama"

  12. Re:And hippies will protest it on "Super Bananas" May Save Millions of Lives In Africa · · Score: 1

    Seriously do you know how expensive crap fast food is? I'll buy that poor people need to work more and don't have time to prepare food so they eat crap, but anyone that says good food is unaffordable compared to fast food is just plain wrong. I was at McDonald's and got food for 3 people one of which was a kid and the total was about 19 dollars. "The price of a pound of ground beef has hit $3.55 a pound, a record high even when adjusted for inflation, according to government readings for February. That's up 56% since 2010. The average for round steak is at $5.28, among the highest prices seen in the last 20 years" $3.55 + $4 for a big bag of chips + $2 for a 2 liter of pop = about $10 bucks for a hell of a lot more meat, more pop, and more sides (chips vs fries).

  13. Re:nVidia Being nVidia on AMD and NVIDIA Trade Allegations, Denials Over Shady Tactics · · Score: 1

    Not even comparable, mantle is an alternative renderer. Mantle might be closed but it doesn't keep nVidia from looking at the games source.

  14. Re:If you make this a proof of God... on Mathematical Proof That the Cosmos Could Have Formed Spontaneously From Nothing · · Score: 1

    I'm kinda actually freaked out by an afterlife in general. No matter how luxurious and great an afterlife is I can't help but think I'd want it to end sometime. Does anyone else think the thought of eternal life is a terrifying?

  15. Re:8 cores? on Intel Announced 8-Core CPUs And Iris Pro Graphics for Desktop Chips · · Score: 1

    Yes I was going for a joke, actually the insightful made me wtf a little.

    I've always been a fan of his: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v... pretty much split screen as full screen through a passive 3D tv when you switch up the lenses in the glasses.

    So they finally caught up to AMD.

  22. Re:So on Report: Valve Anti-Cheat (VAC) Scans Your DNS History · · Score: 2

    Not really, you only use games that use steam DRM. If your game is DRM free just back it up, delete steam, double click the binary and watch it launch. Steam itself is just a distribution service not a DRM. Sorry I might be a bit off topic but I'm just really annoyed at the "ZOMG steam is DRM!" crowd at the moment. Steam makes DRM available blame the publishers for using it not steam. No where is a DRM mandate.
