  1. Re:If at first you don't succeed... on Ubisoft Points Finger At AMD For Assassin's Creed Unity Poor Performance · · Score: 1

    and yet I just went ahead and pre-ordered far cry 4, also being released by ubi. who's the dope now?

  2. Re:A highly relevant comment from the previous pos on Ubisoft Points Finger At AMD For Assassin's Creed Unity Poor Performance · · Score: 5, Interesting

    the linked comment is super cool, but unsourced. However, it has a ring of truth for me. the comment calls out several nvidia technologies like TXAA and SMAA. It was the second time today I heard those terms. The first was when watching a gamestop video where an designer talks about all the cool tech that makes far cry 4 so pretty on the compuper. "Together with NVIDIA, Ubisoft has been working to incorporate GAMEWORKS technologies to add visual enhancements for the PC version of the game." LINK

  3. Re:No. on Will Lyft and Uber's Shared-Ride Service Hurt Public Transit? · · Score: 1

    Lyft and Uber have separate insurance to cover passengers. There is a $1 ride fee on each ride for this. Also I have health insurance that covers me regardless.

  4. Re:Seconded. on Debunking a Viral Internet Post About Breastfeeding Racism · · Score: 1

    I'll throw in here. I think it's a little odd that his musings are posted here, but all the rage cracks me up. And more power to Bennett, he put his money on the table and paid a bit to get the data, more power to him. That being said, he doesn't seem to be an expert in any of the topics he has posted about, at best an armchair commentator. If /. wanted to run an opinion piece on how breastfeeding is perceived, then there are probably experts who devote their work to this very topic.

    I suppose I'll comment on breastfeeding as well, since I'm an armchair commentator as well. I'm going to just come out and say it: I'm all for breastfeeding when hot chicks do it, but indifferent at best when ugly chicks do it. So if Olivia Wilde wants to advocate for breastfeeding, then I'm all ears (and eyes).

  5. false flag? on US Gov't Issues Alert About iOS "Masque Attack" Threat · · Score: 3, Interesting

    since when does the govt issue virus alerts? My best guess is that NSA is alarmed by uncrackable iphone encryption, so they're doing everything they can to scare people off their iphones and on to something more easy to control like droid or bby

  6. Re:These idiots are going to ruin it for everyone on Drone Sightings Near Other Aircraft Up Dramatically · · Score: 1

    you're my favorite kind of troll, the deliberately obtuse dimwit. srsly, no criticism, I do it all the time and it's hilarious when I see others do it.

    No one wants a surface, unless it's to use as a stand for an iPad.

    AC is making a reference to recent CNN coverage of the US elections. MS paid the network to have all their anchors visibly use surface tablets. But some of the anchors were busted for having ipads propped up behind the surface. Link, bitch.

  14. Re:misogynists on the intarwebz? WHAT U SAY? on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 2

    nobody has said a word about censorship (not the submitter, not the GP). you are the one throwing that in here. what they are saying is we need to accept that threatening somebody with physical harm is a Bad Thing and we need to reject this language so we can have a debate about things that matter.

  15. Re:here we go on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    i think the most important point here is there's "harassment" like being criticized by feminists or passed over in the workplace, and there's "harassment" like being threatened with physical harm if you continue to speak out. The submitter is saying we should eliminate the threats of physical harm. This makes sense to me.

  16. Re: Huh on Apple Releases iMessage Deregistration Utility · · Score: 1

    the issue is that apple has interest in making it encrypted to meet customer expectations. imessages are so encrypted apple can't read them at all in transit. goog would hate this, and needs them to be sent in plaintext so they can advertise against them. this is why there will never be a cross compatible standard.

    next best thing tho. unlike whats app or similar, imessage is optional and transparent to the user. if i send a text to an iphone user, it goes through imessage, and if i send it to a droid person, it goes sms.

  17. Re:Concern for high values? on Pirate Bay Co-Founder Peter Sunde Is a Free Man Again · · Score: 1

    These are the kind of debates that Europeans have about jail. In us we chuckle at this and go back to debating whether we should do anything to prevent prisoners getting raped in the shower (end result: we turn a blind eye).

  18. Re:Yes, but the real problem is being ignored. on Washington Dancers Sue To Prevent Identity Disclosure · · Score: 1

    in CA the cops will periodically raid a club and check the ID of every stripper there. if a club has an underage stripper, then they get in trouble big time. keeps the clubs in check. same as for bars, it works just fine without the govt snooping and licensing. This licensing scheme is just a form of intimidation.

  23. Re:yeah right on NASA Pondering $1.5 Million Stratospheric Airship Competition · · Score: 1

    I see I was too oblique. The govt obviously wants a spy platform with more flexibility and resolution than a spy satellite without the hassle of flying planes, but they are too cheap to do it themselves and so instead want to"crowdsource it" because they read that term online once. This way it can spy on us better.
