  1. Jar Jar Hill on Ask Slashdot: Can Star Wars Episode VII Be Saved? · · Score: 1
  2. Re:It's hopeless. on Ask Slashdot: Can Star Wars Episode VII Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    ...they can't just undo the Prequels. They're already out there, and they've already ruined Star Wars.

    Oh really?

    Granted, Star Wars isn't Star Trek, but I'd prefer that scenario than see 1/24 of a second of Jar Jar Binks ever again.

  3. Re:I remember... on Ask Slashdot: Can Star Wars Episode VII Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    They're the ones who have to deal with frickin' Jar Jar Binks. The worst we have is... Tribbles?

    Lots and lots of Tribbles.

  4. Robots are a lower life form on The Sci-Fi Myth of Robotic Competence · · Score: 1

    EXTER-MI-NATE!

  5. Re:Windows is not the only OS out there on Almost 100 Arrested In Worldwide Swoop On Blackshades Malware · · Score: 1

    Don't you know that on Slashdot, you can attack Mac OS X, iOS, Linux and Android, but you can't say a word about the holy gaming-OS?

  6. Re:Difference on Ohio Prison Shows Pirated Movies To Inmates · · Score: 1

    The fact that the DVDs are sold, not licensed, means that the copyright holder does not have the legal authority to impose extra conditions upon the buyer.

    If that's true, why is DVD ripping illegal in some countries?

  7. Re:Why blame Mozilla on Did Mozilla Have No Choice But To Add DRM To Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Really? Apple, Google and Opera are all going to add EME?

  8. I can already see the cartoon on Meet Canada's Goosebuster Drone · · Score: 2

    One goose says to another goose: "Let's not land here, there's flying wolves in these parts."

  9. Re:Best low-cost CPU with half-decent GPU? on AMD Preparing To Give Intel a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    (reply for both jandrese and washu_k)

    Thank you for your comments. I guess I'll go with the G3240 since it's a better CPU, endure the Intel HD GPU for now and add a GTX 750TI later.

  10. Why can't it be both? on Should Tesla Make Batteries Instead of Electric Cars? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Even if Tesla becomes the best and largest car battery manufacturer in the world doesn't mean they can't make cars as well.

    IMHO somebody's being paid by the other car manufacturers to steer Tesla away from making cars.

    Then again, the "low-cost" electric cars sure aren't coming from Tesla any time soon, so I don't really care.

  11. Re:Best low-cost CPU with half-decent GPU? on AMD Preparing To Give Intel a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    I'm not even sure the G3240 comes with the HD 4000 because Intel makes it near impossible to know which GPU is used inside a lot of their CPUs, listing only "Intel HD".

  12. Best low-cost CPU with half-decent GPU? on AMD Preparing To Give Intel a Run For Its Money · · Score: 1

    I'm looking at the new Intel G3240 with Intel HD 4000 and I was wondering if something around the same price range (70$CAD) from AMD had an equivalent CPU with a better GPU.

  13. Re:Apple? on EFF: Amazon, AT&T, and Snapchat Most Likely To Rat On You To the Gov't · · Score: 1

    What also surprises me is that even Adobe actually scored higher than Amazon.

  14. EFF Report? on EFF: Amazon, AT&T, and Snapchat Most Likely To Rat On You To the Gov't · · Score: 5, Informative

    Then why the fuck are you linking to itworld.com?

    Here's the actual report, from EFF themselves.

  15. Re:Apple? on EFF: Amazon, AT&T, and Snapchat Most Likely To Rat On You To the Gov't · · Score: 1

    To be fair, this is the first year Apple gets all points. Also worth pointing out is that Microsoft and Google also got all points.

  16. Re:The difference between Bitcoin and Dogecoin rig on DogeCoin To the Moon Via a Google Lunar X PRIZE Team · · Score: 1

    Cryptsy is about to start trading Bitcoin, Litecoin, Feathercoin and Dogecoin for USD.

  17. Monoprice on Autodesk Unveils 3d Printer As It Aims To Become Industry's Android · · Score: 2

    Monoprice also announced their printer, it's similar to a dual-head MakerBot but for roughly half the price.

  18. Re:Peachy on Autodesk Unveils 3d Printer As It Aims To Become Industry's Android · · Score: 1

    I thought about the PeachyPrinter when I read the article too.

    For the price Autodesk is asking, I thought it would use a DLP or something, to print one layer at a time instead of tracing every vector one at a time.

  19. Re:Cue typical Slashdot response on Samsung Apologizes For Workers' Leukemia · · Score: 1

    I was replying to the troll part of the sarcasm.

  20. Fuck Web DRM on How Firefox Will Handle DRM In HTML · · Score: 0

    The only thing that requires DRM is videos. The only one big enough to ask for DRM in browsers is Netflix.

    The real question is, why the fuck are people watching Netflix in a fucking browser? Ever heard of those big flat things called televisions?

  21. Re:Personal DRM on How Firefox Will Handle DRM In HTML · · Score: 1

    President Skroob: That's amazing. I've got the same combination on my luggage.

  22. Samsung stealing again on Samsung Apologizes For Workers' Leukemia · · Score: 0

    As a Canadian, I am deeply offended by the fact that Samsung apologized to its workers without buying genuine Canadian apologies first.

    And as a Canadian, I apologize for this lame attempt at a joke.

  23. Re:Cue typical Slashdot response on Samsung Apologizes For Workers' Leukemia · · Score: 1

    You say "Apple Foxconn employees", as if Apple was the only Foxconn client and Samsung didn't do the exact same thing.

  24. Re:What a fscking disaster on How Firefox Will Handle DRM In HTML · · Score: 2

    Current number of websites using MEME is over 9000.

  25. Re:RIAA already has a solution for this problem. on Your Old CD Collection Is Dying · · Score: 1

    But since we already bought a license to the media with the first purchase, why can't we buy a replacement disc for a small 99 cents fee?
