  1. DSL is my only option on Comcast Says There's 6 Million Unhappy DSL Users Left To Target (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    Comcast and the like have come down my street several times taking surveys asking if we would subscribe. Since many don't want cable TV, and the ones that do already have DirecTV or Dish, they decide it's not worth it.

  2. Re:Mobile Phones on Apple, Samsung Capture All Of Industry's Smartphone Profits (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    VR is a gimmick, just like it was when it came out in the 90's. It will go the way of 3D TV soon enough. I don't follow porn or the porn industry, so I can't comment on that.

    Aside from tech sites, I don't know of anyone who even knows whats going on with VR, nor cares.

  3. Re:Confused on Activists Call For General Strike On the Tor Network (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    SJW is the one of the biggest buzzwords of them all.

  4. Re:Incomplete title... on Your Political Facebook Posts Aren't Changing How Your Friends Think (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The exact same thing can be said about Slashdot.

  5. Re: When I don't want to change my phone on Too Many New Smartphone Models Released Each Year: Survey (livemint.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Roundup-ready corn is off patent now, so no need for Monsanto. That said, there is a Roundup Ready 2 from Monsanto, but they original is available from several companies. Roundup's patent has expired too.

  6. Re:SJW on One Year in Jail For Abusive Silicon Valley CEO (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I dont care about this stuff.

    Fixed that for you.

  7. Re:Let's be certain first,.. on Tor Project Confirms Sexual Misconduct By Developer Jacob Appelbaum (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    "Gamergate" was a crock of shit then and it's a crock of shit now. The fact that anyone even references it anymore is beyond me.

  8. Re: Not a surprise... on Energy Prices Skyrocket in South Australia (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    So many? I haven't lost electricity for more than a few seconds in over 5 years. Blackouts and brownouts aren't common at all.

  9. Re: Translation on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly like that.

  10. Re: All About the H-1B on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll complain if I damn well please. I'm a citizen, I pay taxes and I didn't vote for them.

    I'm going to vote for presdient, I'm just not picking Trump or Hillary.

    "You have to vote for one of them"

    You absolutely do not have to and shame on you for saying that.

  12. Re:Translation on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "...but Hillary" is hardly an excuse for the bullshit that Trump is spouting.

  13. Re:Not an NES on Nintendo Is Launching a New, Tiny NES For $60 With 30 Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    For significantly more for $60.

  14. Re:Why block ads in the browser? on Microsoft Says Edge Browser Is More Power-Efficient Than Chrome (windows.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't easily and quickly whitelist sites.

  15. Re:That's even worse on Bitcoin Price Jumps 21% Over 4 Days, Reaching a 21-Month High (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    10% is less than half of this change, and that was over half a year. I stand by what I said.

  16. That's even worse on Bitcoin Price Jumps 21% Over 4 Days, Reaching a 21-Month High (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    There is no chance in hell I'm every using a currency that jumps 21% in 4 days, or even 21% in 4 months. Stability triumphs.

  17. Re: EU should act over forced upgrades via decept on Massive Backlash Building Over Windows 10 Upgrades (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    No, MS is an abbreviation. M$ is childless.

  18. Re: in other news on Massive Backlash Building Over Windows 10 Upgrades (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    First off, your off topic. This article has nothing do with Apple.

    It wrong with Apple does it and it's wrong when Microsoft does it. That said, what Microsoft is doing would be the equivalent of installing the update when you hit no/cancel in your iPad.

  19. I maxed out my dropbox referrals with Fiverr.

  20. Re:Well, what do you expect. It's online. on Wikipedia Editor Says Site's Toxic Community Has Him Contemplating Suicide (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    No, you just get modded to a -1, which doesn't delete your text, but it hides it from everyone.

  21. Re:Well, what do you expect. It's online. on Wikipedia Editor Says Site's Toxic Community Has Him Contemplating Suicide (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    So explain all the groupthink on tech sites like Slashdot. It's arguably worse here (and other similar sites) than other places on the net.

    .22 rounds cost next to nothing. Why bother?

  23. Sound about right on Siri Voice Actress Doesn't Use Siri (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    I've yet to find any voice assistant worth using. Google, Siri, Alexa, doesn't matter. I have no use for them.

  24. Re: most states where doing this. on FDA To Regulate E-Cigarettes Like Tobacco (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Nicotine gum and patches are 18+ in almost every state.

  25. Re: They have multiple street names wrong.. on What Happened to Google Maps? (justinobeirne.com) · · Score: 1

    I just submitted it to google again. It's correct in Apple maps and on my TomTom.

    Waze is wrong too, but I assume they get their data from Google.
