  1. Re: Cue the Nazi snowflakes on Twitter Bans, Removes Verified Status of White Supremacists (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't help that, whether trolling or not, there are actually people who openly say they want to genocide the whites, overtly or effectively. From a comment found on this very page (emphasis mine):

    Yeah look i hear what you are saying, but the reality is that you and the rest of the "white race" are doomed to extinction as we interbreed you out of existence.

    Basically, what we're going to do, once we take over the show, which will be soon, is establish a new camp white-ray at Guantanamo Bay and put all the traitors and anti-american Trump-voting filth like you in there for a very long time.

    "I think copyright was always longer than that, but in essence, you're right. It's for the original author."

    As far as the US is concerned, the original copyright law gave 14 years with a single 14-year renewal.

  3. Re: The site doesn't make money. Users lose money. on Showtime Websites Are Mining Monero With Your CPU, Unclear If Hack Or Experiment (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    You do realize that Showtime is a premium network, and sites in question are legitimate, correct? Nobody is watching pirated content at either of those URLs.

  4. Re: Maybe those battery apps are liars? on iOS 11 Is Causing Massive Battery Drain Problems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The jailed apps died off with iOS 10. Only way to see low level battery info on iOS 10 is to jailbreak.

  5. Yeah, I'm sure Apple would destroy battery life by having the sensors live all the time.

    You know the fucking braindead Apple haters are grasping at straws when they make shit up or regurgitate the vomit that uninformed so-called "techies" are putting out there.

  6. Apple's playing catch up with a device that can recognize your face in the dark. Right.

  7. Re: Windows Hello on 'Dear Apple, The iPhone X and Face ID Are Orwellian and Creepy' (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 1

    Nice FUD

  8. Re: Windows Hello on 'Dear Apple, The iPhone X and Face ID Are Orwellian and Creepy' (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 1

    The new device also has an "emergency mode" that disables Face ID. If you can discreetly tap the new elongated lock button five times, then it defeats that. Much better than requiring a reboot as with Touch ID.

  9. Re: Windows Hello on 'Dear Apple, The iPhone X and Face ID Are Orwellian and Creepy' (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 1

    It's done entirely in hardware. Completely separate processor from the running OS.

  10. Re:And? on Kodi Is Fighting Trademark Trolls (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    And just how is that iPhone trademark a bad faith one?

    If the government says 1+1=3, and makes it illegal to contradict this "truth", then what happens?

    You missed the parent poster's point by a mile.

  13. Re: Cool that someone still stands for freedom on Cloudflare is the One Tech Company Still Sticking By Neo-Nazi Websites (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    If there actually is a fire in a crowded movie theater, I doubt any court would convict the person who warned everyone. So not even the tired "yelling fire in a movie theater" is an absolute.

  14. Re: Property on The Life, Death, and Legacy of iPhone Jailbreaking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    All the stuff that was mentioned is preloaded on the phone.

  15. Re: as usual, piracy fears are nonsense. on Hollywood Sees Illegal Streaming Devices as 'Piracy 3.0' (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    The day you can lossless copy a physical object without harming the original, your analogy will be apt.

    What DRM?

  17. Re:An interesting changing era... on How The 1997 'NESticle' Emulator Redefined Retro Gaming (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    The original release of UAE was truly unusable due to incompleteness. https://virtuallyfun.superglob...

  18. So this is that "dark mode" from two weeks ago on YouTube Finally Embraces Google's Material Design, Puts Focus On Content (googleblog.com) · · Score: 1

    https://news.slashdot.org/stor...

    I did that two weeks ago for the dark mode UI. I went to the opt-in link just now, and got "you're already seeing the new experience".

    They made an official "dogbone" NES controller. Sold it alongside the toploader.

    The font rendering on the tab titles is horrendous

  21. What about computer emulators? on Microsoft Formally Bans Emulators On Xbox, Windows 10 Download Shops (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Would a Commodore 64 or Apple II emulator be acceptable? They're not defined as "game systems" as there is a significant non-game use.

  22. HTML, with or without CSS, was never supposed to be pixel-exact. Half of the problems with browsers relates to ignorance and even downright hostility to that notion.

    It's fine if there is a "pixel-exact to designer intention" mode, but given the absolute GLUT of shit design, there must also be a "fuck the designer, display things THIS way" switch.

  23. Re: "Came up" with pi? on This Is How the Number 3.14 Got the Name 'Pi' (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Pi is a Greek *letter*. Thus, it's representation in typography can be called a "glyph". Are you saying that numbers and mathematical symbols are no longer glyphs when used in a mathematical context?

  24. I don't use Explorer. Directory Opus ftw

  25. Firewire *was* an industry standard.
