  1. Re:I haven't noticed any slowdowns on Microsoft Details Performance Impact of Spectre and Meltdown Mitigations on Windows Systems (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    To be honest, unless you've ran benchmarks that produce figures for comparison, would you be able to perceive a 5% slowdown anyway?

  2. Too late for the UK on Google Rebrands All Its Payment Solutions As 'Google Pay' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    After Google procrastinated with Google Pay in the UK a couple of years ago, competitors like banks got in first in the UK. Too little too late Google.

  3. Re:Always the left pushing "hate speech" laws. on Germany Starts Enforcing Hate Speech Law (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "it's always the political left pushing for "hate speech" legislation" That is absolute rubbish.

  4. Re:money well spent on The US Military Admits It Spent $22 Million Investigating UFOs (boston.com) · · Score: 1

    The people's right to know should always override any chaos that may ensue because of it.

  5. The Obsession on Elon Musk Trolls the Media With a Clip From 'Spaceballs' (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    This guy just has to fart and the hipster nerds wank themselves silly. I thought /. was better than this. Keep this sort of shit in Wired.

  6. Re:Improved: Now only 35% slower than Apple's A10! on Qualcomm Announces Latest Snapdragon 845 Processor (9to5google.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah but Apple devices have owners that are 200% more pretentious than Android users on single and multi-core applications.

  7. They are competitors on Why Google and Amazon Are Hypocrites (om.blog) · · Score: 1

    They are competitors, so why is any of this surprising and indeed, why is it on /, ?

  8. Re:Why are Slashdot editors so obsessed.... on Why Is Anime Obsessed With Power Lines? (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple, Linux, Elon Musk......

  9. It's like registering a square on New Windows Search Interface Borrows Heavily From MacOS (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Putting a search textbox in the middle of the screen is hardly borrowing heavily from Apple any more than they tried to pull that shit with anything with a rectangle is Apple. Fuck off with that shit. This is not Wired.

  10. Re:I though Apple only copied everyone? on New Windows Search Interface Borrows Heavily From MacOS (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    >The thing I don't get about Windows 10 is its continual upgrade Then you don't understand what Windows 10 was supposed to be as that was always intended from the start

  11. No, it's not the same thing at all.

  12. Re:This is the year on All 500 of the World's Top 500 Supercomputers Are Running Linux (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No you use one you can personally customise specifically for supercomputer applications which Windows was not designed for. Are Linux fanbois that desperate to impress these days?

  13. Re:Just not worth supporting any longer on Google Quietly Discontinues NFC Smart Unlock Without Explanation (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The feature was already complete, there was no further work to be done or maintenance. So just because few people use it is not a reason to remove it, which would have took time, money and effort.

  14. Correlation or causation on Skipping Breakfast May Be Linked To Poor Heart Health, Study Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I hope being scientists they know the difference.

  15. Re:standard procedure on Ethereum Will Match Visa In Scale In a 'Couple of Years,' Says Founder (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Ellis Short with David Moyes at the helm

  16. Nice try.

  17. It's not the first time either on Google's AI Boss Blasts Musk's Scare Tactics on Machine Takeover (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    He's been blasted by AI professors too for proclaiming all sorts of things about AI which he's not qualified to do. Along with dozens of other things he's said over recent years that he wrongly thinks he's a master of. The thing is, people wank themselves silly over him like they did over Jobby and again, a huge amount of it is not justified or deserved. If he kept his mouth more shut he'd be seen a clever technical entrepreneur, instead of the egotistic know-it-all is is now.

  18. Re:Then let them make their own apps on Corporations Just Quietly Changed How the Web Works (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    That leads to the situation where a certain app wont be available for your particular platform. It also leads to having to install multiple apps. No, that's not a good solution.

  19. .. That men are more evolved than women.. I mean it "confirms"

  20. Why is this here on Nestle Makes Billions Bottling Water It Pays Nearly Nothing For (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Why is this on /.?

  21. "Because of its edge-to-edge display, the iPhone has no place for a conventional home button" Oh really.. Android has managed to do it for years now. Buttons do not have to be physical. The servants of Apple will lap up anything.

  22. Re:Stole the plot of WARGAMES on AI Could Lead To Third World War, Elon Musk Says (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    To the internet he's a f*cking expert on everything and anything. In the real world he's a far, far more limited person.

  23. Totally unchanged on AskSlashdot: How Do You See Your Life After Firefox 52 ESR? (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    Like the vast majority of users, I use Chrome anyway.

  24. Fuck 'em. We are getting the infinitely better Star Trek anyway.

  25. Re:Gotta say it on Facebook Finds a New Service To Copy: Tinder (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You said "Facecrook" oh how clever.. Do you use "M$" too? well done.
