  1. Betteridge's Law of Headlines on Could Tizen Be the Next Android? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Karma whoring is a beautiful thing.

    Yes it is.

  2. Re:One step foward, 10 slippery steps back on The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You should know that Sony has a history of delivering stupid pieces of shit.

  3. Re:What they need to do is be less cheap on The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's better this way. You can buy a regular USB cable anywhere, it's not Sony trying to make you pay for a Sony cable. By not including a USB cable that almost everyone has (in multiple useless numbers too) it's better for the environment.

    I would also be happy if computer power supplies didn't include the standard power cable either, I checked my cables box yesterday and I have over a dozen of the damn things. Standard cables outlive the computers.

  4. Here's a fix the PS4 needs on The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs · · Score: 2

    My friend keeps complaining that his PS4 is a stupid piece of shit and that Sony are incompetent fucks because it can't even auto-pause games when one of the controllers battery dies, unlike his Xbox 360.

  5. Re:Requirement to have compromised device on Researchers Use Siri To Steal Data From iPhones · · Score: 1

    And what is your source for this "non-trivial number"? Your nerd friends don't represent the majority of users.

  6. Re:Movies from the book seller? on Amazon Plans To Release 12 Movies a Year In Theaters and On Prime · · Score: 1

    I tried to watch a few movies made by Asylum and they were really just terrible. The new TV series Z Nation seems to be backed by Netflix however, so maybe Asylum only needs a better budget to produce something decent. Z Nation may not be on the same quality level as The Walking Dead or as serious, but it's fun to watch nonetheless. The random references to other movies or TV shows (so far, Sharknado and The Walking Dead) made me laugh.

  7. Re:I'll take one for max $10 on Amazon Plans To Release 12 Movies a Year In Theaters and On Prime · · Score: 1

    Sure the total of all available services will be high, but you will still have the choice of only subscribing to the ones that you want. If someone only wants Netflix, it's still only 8$ per month.

    Anyway most of these services are only available to the U.S.A. so right now it's not really a problem for the rest of the world. It's Netflix or nothing.

  8. Re:I think Nintendo Wii was powerglove 2.0 on Nintendo Power Glove Used To Create 'Robot Chicken' · · Score: 1

    The SNES gamepad is perfection.

    Tiny analog thumb sticks are the worst invention ever.

    Case closed.

  9. Re:Seems like... on Nintendo Power Glove Used To Create 'Robot Chicken' · · Score: 1

    I have a fork that says "The ratio of people to cake is too big", does that count?

  10. Re:Beyond borders on Elon Musk's Proposed Internet-by-Satellite System Could Link With Mars Colonies · · Score: 2

    Space is big.

    "Space is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space." - Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

  11. Re:Planet X / Nibiru !!! on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 2

    Would you know if there was an ancient spacecraft buried 20 feet under your house?

    It would certainly explain why my appliances work without being connected.

  12. Re:Planet X / Nibiru !!! on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 1

    This looks like a photo of the rough pass of a CNC milling operation that has gone through a very bad resizing routine, probably nearest-neighbor interpolation.

  13. Re:Planet X / Nibiru !!! on Analysis Suggests Solar System Contains Massive Trans-Neptunian Objects · · Score: 1

    The obvious traces are everywhere, we just choose to ignore them and think they were man-made.

  14. Deep Learning? Deep Mind? on Google Search Will Be Your Next Brain · · Score: 1

    I'll wait for Deep Thought.
    ...this might take a while, though.

  15. Re:Wrong guy on UK Suspect Arrested In Connection With PSN/XBL 'Lizard Squad' Attacks · · Score: 1

    Maybe they asked Verizon or the MPAA to calculate the kid's age?

  16. Re:And then there was canadian football on Parents Investigated For Neglect For Letting Kids Walk Home Alone · · Score: 1

    This, of course, is a result of Canada being a metric nation ;^)

    We're probably the only metric country on the planet where the imperial hardware is easier to find and cheaper than the metric hardware which is always more expensive if you can find any at all.

  17. Re:This has nothing to do with their population. on China Lays More Fiber, Improving Physical Connection To the Worldwide Internet · · Score: 1

    I'm not your friend, guy.

  18. You want to protect your data? on Simple Rogue WiFi Hotspot Captures High Profile Data · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If you want to protect your data, don't connect to an open WiFi hotspot.

    Also, shame on the so-called "security experts" who used it.

  19. Re:This has nothing to do with their population. on China Lays More Fiber, Improving Physical Connection To the Worldwide Internet · · Score: 1

    You listed Canada twice, eh?

  20. Dogecoin is better than Bitcoin on Bitcoin Volatility Puts Miners Under Pressure · · Score: 1

    The value of Dogecoin has gone up and down too, going from almost nothing to almost nothing.

  21. Re:Limited list of languages on Google Aims To Be Your Universal Translator · · Score: 1

    Google has no honour.

  22. Re:Stop messing with Slashdot on Facebook Targets Office Workers With Facebook At Work Service · · Score: 1

    Safari 7.1 here, and yes Slashdot does display correctly now, unlike a few minutes ago.

  23. Re:English to American on Google Aims To Be Your Universal Translator · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm sorry, I'm not putting that in my mouth.

  24. Limited list of languages on Google Aims To Be Your Universal Translator · · Score: 3, Interesting

    This feature supports English translated to and from French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish. Google says it's working to add more languages.

    It's not really ready until it supports Andorian, Cardassian, Ferengi, Romulan, Vulcan and New York City slang.

  25. Re:Baby Translator on Google Aims To Be Your Universal Translator · · Score: 2

    Simpsons did it!
