As for YouTube Gaming, I don't give it much of a chance. I'd say 25% chance it competes properly with Twitch, and about a 60% chance of it going the way of Google+. That leaves a quite-slim 15% chance of anything else, including, but not limited to, dethroning Twitch.
For general purpose use (i.e. browsing, email), I agree. Where extra RAM comes in handy is for running more programs CONCURRENTLY without hammering your DASD (whether SSD or HD based) based virtual memory with massive swapping back and forth to disk.
More RAM enables you to get more tasks done at the same time. You can be rendering a video while at the same time, browsing the web, working with Quicken, checking email or FB, or even playing a game (assuming your CPU has enough cores/threads to spare).
But as cheap as RAM is right now, might as well get as much as you can afford and what your system will accept.
Right now I am running 16 GB on my Z97 based system, but have slots open on my motherboard if I ever see the need to double it (or if the memory I have suddenly goes on sale at a ridiculously low price).
So if I happen to be visiting a website while it's being DDoS attacked, I'll be disconnected because I "participated" in the attack? Instead of ISPs having to decide what's abuse and what's not, how about we design an infrastructure such that no ISP customer can do any harm, whatever the packets their system is sending?
Basically eliminate the Internet as it is and start from scratch. You better get cracking.....
How is this news anyway related to this site?
Editors, please, if the long term future of this site is a priority, please make sure that the level of news don't go down like this.
I can understand when you post serious or sometimes even funny news clippings which really doesn't align with the stated principles. That is fine, without some explorations around, we never really find our sweet spot.
But this, this is going down a level. There are many sites which cater to these news items. I don't come here expecting to see this level of posts on Slashdot.
Modders, please...could you mod down the anonymous cowards bitching about an article being not worthy of posting on slashdot? The women used social engineering and the internet to scam ISIS out of some cash. Seems relevant to me and funny in a way.
Every country wants their laws to apply to everyone else, but doesn't think of the consequences then of having to apply everyone else's laws to themselves.
It's easy to avoid such consequences with a large enough military budget. Or why else would Google filter European search results referring to the DMCA?
If these lusers cared about choice they wouldn't be using Windows or iOS. Doing something about that would require getting a clue, why it might even mean a little reading, and that's enough to stop most fat Americans from doing much of anything.
I know I am obviously feeding a troll (and you are some overseas elitist fuck), but most folks have a life and don't have time to sit in their mom's basement (like you) and figure out Linux and how to use SUDO and scripting and all the other hoops you have to jump thru to make Linux (or another other OS that only us geeks can use) usable. I have no problem with Linux and have used it quite often, but most 'fat americans' just want their computer to work and to allow them to do their tasks on a day to day basis.
Energy weapons and their relationship to individuals can be similar to bullets. If there's one with your name on it, there's nothing you can do about it. It's all the ones addressed "To Whom It May Concern" that you want to avoid.
You're talking about splash damage, not a bullet...;)
If they find you shared your salary, then your company might find another reason to fire you and terminate you for that other reason. In an at-will state it's easier..... "According to the latest performance review, you're just not a good fit for our company, so we have to let you go."
At my place of work, that is a termination offence to discuss pay and yes I live in an at-will state....
No no no, Enron had a lot of "related party transactions" (read: embezzling), where officers were making like 10 times what their Enron salary was from their business doing business with Enron.
But even in the same vein, Enron had practically no operating profit, not 1/3 of their stated operating profit. And they were claiming far bigger numbers.
This is bad, but Enron was... well, at least one jury has decided... more of a fraud than a company. Toshiba makes products and money
I had forgotten about that...I stand corrected.......
A drone that fires a pistol (yawn). Several months ago, FPSRussia posted a video about a drone that is armed with a MACHINE GUN and I don't remember anyone having a fit about it...

"Cost of having police patrol the road (on foot, because it's now impassible to cars)"
I don't know where you live, but where I live, the fact that there wasn't a road has never stopped cops from driving there. Be it down sidewalks, bike paths, medians, fields and various other places that if I were to put my car I would get a ticket, they drive regularly.
Exactly......local law enforcement here in Arkansas has a 4x4 SUV or two in their fleet and there are plenty of washed out roads around our countryside. No problem for them to get around...
Arrest first and ask questions later, when such designs get out. I wonder how they will take that intimidation?
Doesn't matter. Only thing matters is how deep your pockets are retaining competent legal counsel. Usually your pockets run out before the government's, unfortunately.
seriously, isn't the a good example of lawyers that should be disbarred? lying to the court and using the law to harass seems like good reasons to disbar a lawyer.
At the very least, shouldn't these lawyers be thrown IN JAIL for contempt at the very least? If Joe Blow was hauled into court and made one white lie to the judge, his ass would be in jail for 90 days!

No...the new site is http://abc.xyz/ not Alphabet.com
FTFY.
To be more precise, Texas..
Must be nice living in your black and white world. Now run upstairs from your basement for supper. I think Mommy is calling you.... sheesh...
... and hardly "extreme".

With all due respect, I'd rather eat Ramen and take a vitamin pill than consume the current Soylent formulations and fart all night long.
Either that or the screamin' shits......

"Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards?"
HAS THE OP BEEN ON THE INTERNET AT ALL? EVER?
Although, I do like to imagine some of the rage typists are actually holding in the [Shift] key...
NO KIDDING! CAPS LOCK IS very HANDY WHEN SHOUTING AT PEOPLES!

Because Windows 7 was launched in 2009, a license is more affordable than for Windows 8
Where can I find it cheaper? Just checked on Newegg for Win7 pricing and it is the SAME as Win 8.1. 6 year old OS .... smh..
People still have Adobe Reader installed?
Lots of people...get out of your mom's basement or out from under your rock...
Total and complete incompetence from the Obama administration where the only qualification that matters is political loyalty.
Shut up you freakin' troll! This shit has probably been going on like this for years before Obama (yes even during the Bushy era).
I hate my redundant sentences.....
