  1. Re:I am by no means a fan of Comcast... on Comcast Sued For Turning Home Wi-Fi Routers Into Public Hotspots · · Score: 1

    You can't do it online, you have to call in, and on top of that when you reset your router the comcast wifi also resets.

  2. Re:What about all the other torrent sites? on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 1

    EZTV is down a lot, but I think that's cause it's run by like one guy and for some reason hackers like to target it.

  3. Re:cut off one head on Peter Sunde: the Pirate Bay Should Stay Down · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd mod this up, but I'd rather comment that I agree with you. TPB was always the place I could go to find hard to get things, organized terribly, but deep in its bowels were the links I needed. Other sites like KAT or whatever they have to rename themselves I like using more, but it's harder to find rare items.

  4. Re:When are Americans going to wake up? on FISA Court Extends Section 215 Bulk Surveillance For 90 Days · · Score: 1

    Well AC, ploice states do make up false charges, and have public trials to show they can win. Which happens in the US, especially since the cops can take cash I have on me if they say they "think" it's going to be used for illegal purchases.

  5. Re:Creators wishing to control their creations... on Microsoft Files a Copyright Infringement Lawsuit For Activating Pirated Software · · Score: 1

    NZ and Australia are ripped off harder than everyone else in the world, expect maybe people living in Marlyand.

  6. Re:When you're a space nutter on China Plans Superheavy Rocket, Ups Reliability · · Score: 1

    Well won't it?

  7. Re:First Do No Harm on Civil Rights Groups Divided On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    Regulation is what kept airlines profitable, regulation is what got phone service to rural parts of the country. Regualtion can be good, in can also be bad in the case of long distance service because of the illusion of "natural monolpolies" in services that don't really have natural monopolies. Regulations are also why city water is cleaner than bottled water.

  8. Re:First Do No Harm on Civil Rights Groups Divided On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    The only action with a company with a monopoly is to go without. Most people can't go without their Netflix and Facebook, so you have the problem where the company has no incentive to change. In markets where the local municipality or CO-OP does the internet no one has commercial service, why pay more? In places that have the choice of google fiber or FIOS, Comcast takes a huge hit. That's the reality, no competition for what has no become essentially a need/utility like electricty or gas or oil has created a vacuum between what the customer wants and what is provided.

  9. Re:Shakedown on Civil Rights Groups Divided On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    It depends on who the poor are. A lot of times you have to think that poor people are the ones working in call centers and probably get a discount on the dish and service. You also have to think that if it's low income housing that accepts section 8 vouchers and the person then might have enough to get a basic cable package.

  10. I can't be the only one on AdNauseam Browser Extension Quietly Clicks On Blocked Ads · · Score: 1

    I'm not so much concerned that companies create ads and that they're almost completely irrelevant to me. They only show ads for websites I've already went to or ordered from so they're meaningless. I'm more concerned that I can't click on ads for fear that they'll take me to malicious websites. Even companies you think you could "trust" sometimes have malicious code in them. Give me ads that aren't clickbate for viruses and are actually relevant and I'd click them.

  11. This was on slashdot before on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Electronics-Induced Inattentiveness? · · Score: 1

    A study, that I can't find on google, showed that even after like 15 minutes of web browsing people begin to exhibit ADD type of symptoms. The constant skimming, searching for links or clickable objects messes our brains up. Reading one book is hard for a lot of people nowadays because of the internet. Basically you need to cut off the internet for a while force yourself to take things slower, reading lengthy magazine articles is a place to start to get you back into the groove.

  12. Re:Please . . . on Comcast Forgets To Delete Revealing Note From Blog Post · · Score: 1

    That's why golf courses and private clubs exist.

  13. Re: only an idiot would buy services from comcast on Comcast Forgets To Delete Revealing Note From Blog Post · · Score: 1

    Affordable and useful? You're joking or in your words "wrong" and an "indiot." Thanks for never reading this.

  14. Re:Security? on Fraudulent Apps Found In Apple's Store · · Score: 1

    The volume of games to review and look over is much less, and probably easier to track what info it's gathering when the game is being played.

  15. Yup on Twitter Should Use Random Sample Voting For Abuse Reports · · Score: 1

    Yup

  16. Popular Shalshdot Opinion on Twitter Should Use Random Sample Voting For Abuse Reports · · Score: 3, Funny

    Blah Blah, Bennett is an idiot, blah blah, how did this get to feed, blah blah, there's a seperate section that this loser should post to, blah blah, I don't read his stuff but I'll comment about it.

  17. Re:ios/android support? on Valve Rolls Out Game Broadcasting Service For Steam · · Score: 1

    Twitch is also on PS4 and XBox One. I know that the Xbox One version allows you to watch any console type, not sure about the PS4 version.

  18. Re:Even I bought a PS1 and PS4 on The PlayStation Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    Aren't the PS Vita memory cards Sony's duo-sticks or whatever they're called?

  19. Re: Even I bought a PS1 and PS4 on The PlayStation Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I'd mod you up, but I commented earlier in this post.

  20. Re:It increased gamers' average age on The PlayStation Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I think it brought older gamers back into the fold. I remember a lot of people buying Playstations that were people that played Mario when it was new.

  21. Re:Update Throttling.. the next big deal on Android Policy For Nexus and Google Play Devices Updated To Excuse Carrier Delay · · Score: 1

    Maybe it has to do with carrier specific versions of Android? I don't know, only speculating.

  22. Re: Why tax profits, why not income? on UK Announces 'Google Tax' · · Score: 1

    If I was only taxes on profit I'd owe like $100 in taxes.

  23. Re:Oh, the entitlement... on 10-Year-Old iTunes DRM Lawsuit Heading To Trial · · Score: 1

    Claiming that a company like Microsoft if you downloaded music from them, forced you to only use a Zune or WMP, then you would have a case.

  24. Re:no chance to cross examine? on 10-Year-Old iTunes DRM Lawsuit Heading To Trial · · Score: 1

    Heck, if you were on trial back in the day you were allowed to have or read yourself a prepared statement and not answer any questions.

  25. Re:Change in operations instead of cash.... on 10-Year-Old iTunes DRM Lawsuit Heading To Trial · · Score: 1

    I think the suit is more that if you bought it through iTunes you could only instal it on like 5 devices or discs etc. At least when it was still new that was the rule. But you couldn't hook up a 3rd party player with iTunes, you had to have a workaround.
