  1. Re:The problem with corporations. on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    There's a difference*

    Seriously, Slashdot should at least allow edits within 60 seconds of posting.

  2. Re:The problem with corporations. on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    There's a different between wanting to make money and thinking that the money should be yours just because you feel entitled to it.

  3. Re:Or perhaps Sony's gimmick could be "first" on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial: The Next Generation

  4. Re:Cue legal action from a UK cinema chain on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    1. work in a web browser on any platform or on hardware platforms from multiple vendors.

    Frankly I still find it hard to believe that so many people watch TV shows and movies on their computer, in a web browser on top of that. The living room and big screen TV is a better choice than sitting at your computer desk or on a sofa with a laptop on your legs.

  5. Re: crackle on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    If can be free and still suck. Last time I tried it, the ads were inserted in the middle of a scene and it was the same two or three ads being played all the time. Ads are supposed to be informative, not brainwashing.

    Also, unlike what AC is saying below, Seinfeld is not available (at least in Canada).

  6. Re:Stupid on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    There's no such thing as Amazon Prime and Hulu outside of the U.S.A.

    Netflix is in 40 countries.

  7. Re:Stupid on Sony To Take On Netflix With Playstation Vue · · Score: 1

    Sony's test launch is limited to the PS3 and PS4 and their selected areas are limited to New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

    Netflix works on a lot of devices from a lot of companies and has subscribers in over 40 countries.

    Isn't Crackle owned by Sony anyway? If their "new" service is anything similar, be prepared to view the same stupid two or three ads, every 10 to 15 minutes, cutting right in the middle of scenes with no proper "insert ads here" timing while trying to watch a movie.

  8. Re:But but but on HYREL 3-D Printers Were Developed by 3-D Printer Users (Video) · · Score: 1

    A ball screw for a 3D printer really is overkill, considering that the best prints I have seen so far come from a Tantillus that uses fishing line for its drive system.

  9. nVidia sucks on Nvidia Shield Tablet Gets Android Lollipop Update, Half Life 2 EP1 and GRID · · Score: 2

    And their new GeForce GTX 980 graphics card is really fucking amazing!

  10. There's only one solution on No, You Can't Seize Country TLDs, US Court Rules · · Score: 3, Funny

    DDoS those countries from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  11. Re:damn on No, You Can't Seize Country TLDs, US Court Rules · · Score: 4, Funny

    We see the USA government as terrorists, but we won't say who we are, eh?

  12. Re:Are you trying to get on Debunking a Viral Internet Post About Breastfeeding Racism · · Score: 1

    Actually I need assistance to not see breasts when I'm searching for something else.

    My comment was about the fact that a lot of websites never seem to publish any photo to go with their articles but yet have no problem pushing auto-play video ads on their readers.

  13. Re:No shit, on Your Incompetent Boss Is Making You Unhappy · · Score: 1

    But it goes wrong in many cases, especially in those where false positives are harmless but false negatives deadly.

    Correction: false positives are mostly harmless.

  14. Re:Are you trying to get on Debunking a Viral Internet Post About Breastfeeding Racism · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tell me about it. They talk about breastfeeding in public but the photos are nowhere to be seen.

  15. Re:Device is not relevant but OS version is. on Popular Smartphones Hacked At Mobile Pwn2Own 2014 · · Score: 2

    And if it is via iOS 6 and Safari, that means all older devices are now unsafe to use as Web devices and Apple will probably never release a patch for them.

  16. Apple on Popular Smartphones Hacked At Mobile Pwn2Own 2014 · · Score: 1

    In Apple's defense, all the hacks were executed via the Flash plug-in, Java and Adobe Reader.

    Oh, this is about iOS devices?

    Apple, what the fuck are you doing?

  17. Re:Duh on Your Incompetent Boss Is Making You Unhappy · · Score: 5, Funny

    Joke's on you, I'm self-employed! That means I'm my own stupid boss!

    Oh wait.

  18. Re:Duh on Your Incompetent Boss Is Making You Unhappy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    We need a paper to tell our bosses what we already knew.

  19. Re:yet another duplication of what's out there on How YouTube Music Key Will Redefine What We Consider Music · · Score: 1

    What are you comparing the music industry to a pie? Are you Jim Gaffigan?

  20. Re:Desparate Microsoft pulls a "Sun Microsystems" on Microsoft To Open Source .NET and Take It Cross-Platform · · Score: 1

    Give them the benefit of the doubt when they talk positively about open-sourcing one of their product? Don't be a fool and read the licenses carefully.

    Forgive them for their past actions? Never.

  21. Re:Desparate Microsoft pulls a "Sun Microsystems" on Microsoft To Open Source .NET and Take It Cross-Platform · · Score: 1

    Giving them the benefit of the doubt doesn't mean we should trust them either, but we should back down our "Microsoft is always bad" mindset a little bit.

    I'm over 40, I've lived through everything Microsoft did and I'm not going to forget their past either.

    Ah yes, the BOALI license.

    AFAIK both Bill Gates and Steve Balmer don't control Microsoft anymore.

    This is a new Microsoft with a new CEO, so we should at least give them the benefit of the doubt.
