  1. It Got Me Into RSS on Google Reader: One Year Later · · Score: 1

    I manually got my news by actually looking at sites before. The death of Google Reader and subsequent shilling by competitors made me decide on using Feedly, and since then I can't live without an RSS feed.

  2. Re:They know the "Internet of Things" is a failure on Microsoft Backs Open Source For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    The Snark Store called, and they're running out of you.

  3. Re:Fantastic! Open sourcing will make pwning easie on Microsoft Backs Open Source For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    Cyanogen supports some of the more popular mid-spec devices, like the Moto G, as well. But you are right, they won't support, say, a random DoCoMo Android-based fliphone made for the Japanese market.

  4. Re:Trust on Microsoft Backs Open Source For the Internet of Things · · Score: 1

    What about the ever-popular 'Lunix?'

    So just like cell phones which are now a permanent fixture of the generation that never looked up...

    I resent that statement. Not only do I actively avoid responding to phone calls and texts, but I only freak out about having no cell signal when I'm using my phone as a WiFi hotspot for my laptop or my desktop when the cable is out. /offtopic

  6. Who expects high-paying? on What's Your STEM Degree Worth? · · Score: 2

    Will dumping $80,000 into an educational institution for a piece of paper let me get any sort of semi-stable career?

  7. Re:Friends dont let Friends buy Ubisoft - Agreed on Was Watch Dogs For PC Handicapped On Purpose? · · Score: 1

    Hmm, interesting. Then Ubisoft just gimped the game on PC overall.

  8. Re:And Watch_Dogs just came out on Chicago Adding Sensors For Public Monitoring · · Score: 1

    Well, Ubisoft IS the Templars. Even Abstergo Entertainment's offices in Assassin's Creed 4 were directly modeled after Ubisoft Montreal's.

  9. Re:CACM is older on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: 1

    Why should I pay for an SMS/MMS plan on a phone when I can just abuse my unlimited data and VoIP call?

  10. Re:Friends dont let Friends buy Ubisoft - Agreed on Was Watch Dogs For PC Handicapped On Purpose? · · Score: 2

    Ubisoft intentionally gimped the game for AMD cards as well, so your 7970s would probably do worse than a certain major Let's Player getting 40 FPS with SLI Titans.

  11. Re:I personally loved the series as a kid. on Reading Rainbow Kickstarter Earns One Million Dollars In Less Than a Day · · Score: 1
  12. Re:No steering wheel? No deal. on Google Unveils Self-Driving Car With No Steering Wheel · · Score: 1

    (Fortunately for you, surveys show that below-median drivers are rare.)

    Unless it's an underground tunnel.

  13. Re:Fuck Ubisoft, Support Haemimont. on Watch Dogs Released, DRM Troubles · · Score: 1

    So are XCOM Enemy Unknown and Civ: Beyond Earth aka Alpha Centauri 2 if Linux native versions are an insta-buy.

  14. Fuck Ubisoft, Support Haemimont. on Watch Dogs Released, DRM Troubles · · Score: 1

    Tropico 5's campaign mode is a better sci-fi story than Watch_Dogs, it's $20 less, has far less DRM, is getting a Linux port once SteamOS is at 1.0, and is actually fun.

  15. Re:so... on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is, mammoth and elephant DNA just won't splice?

  16. Re:so... on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 2

    Spared no expense.

  17. Re:Misguided on Efforts To Turn Elephants Into Woolly Mammoths Are Already Underway · · Score: 1

    We're suffering enough over here, no need to rub it in.

  18. Re:Nothing changed on Did Mozilla Have No Choice But To Add DRM To Firefox? · · Score: 1

    That turns desktop/laptop computing down a dangerous road of web apps. Then they will be utterly useless for the average consumer compared to smartphones and tablets.

  19. Re:Not denying something is different from forcing on Did Mozilla Have No Choice But To Add DRM To Firefox? · · Score: 1

    Yes, he did criticize it. Also, keep in mind that Stallman's 'web browser' is wget'ing the pages and viewing them in Emacs.

  20. Re:What a bunch of bigoted crap on $7 USB Stick Aims To Bring Thousands of Poor People Online · · Score: 1

    I figured I could judge America well, given that I am an American.

  21. Re:What a bunch of bigoted crap on $7 USB Stick Aims To Bring Thousands of Poor People Online · · Score: 1

    By Americans, India IS judged by its poorest 200 million, and Mexico is judged by the violence of the cartels.

  22. Re:So your standing for the status quo on Average American Cable Subscriber Gets 189 Channels and Views 17 · · Score: 1

    Pretty much agree with you. At best, the current form of the ACA will be seen as not enough and will help railroad in a single-payer system faster.

    Or we'll have an Affordable Entertainment Act passed, that essentially just forces us to buy our old shitty cable packages, but for more money. We'll call it Romneytainment.
