  1. Thanks but no thanks on Microsoft Brings Office To Android Smartphones For Free · · Score: 1

    It's bad enough that MS is harassing every phone/tablet manufacturer to pay some sort of "Android tax", because of "reasons". I'd like to see a single manufacturer stand up to this kind of crap, but so far that's not happening. I don't want MS anywhere near my phone.

  2. Clickbait on 1 In 3 Data Center Servers Is a Zombie · · Score: 1

    People pay for servers all the time and never use them. If they paid for the year, then why should the hoster care?

  3. Re:Whiners and trolls on Samsung Fixes Cellphone Keyboard Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    boo hoo.

  4. Re:Meh on SourceForge Suspends Independent Project Mirroring · · Score: 0

    My ears are burning... oh wait.

    Slashdice didn't care what we had to say about slashbeta. Why they cared about Sourceforge, I'll never know.

  5. Fuck you and your pointless buzzword.

  6. Re:Also, bug in summary on M0n0wall Fork SmallWall Has First Official Release · · Score: 1

    This is Slashdot. Did you honestly expect the editors to actually do their jobs?

  7. DUHHHHH on Kaspersky Explains Why They Won't Say Who Hacked Them · · Score: 1

    Russians did it.

  8. Re:FISA, NSA, Obama, FBI, CIA, et al. on White House Asks FISA Court To Ignore 2nd Circuit's Decision On Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 1

    So what are you going to do about it?

  9. Re:This matters because... on Intel Skylake & Broxton Graphics Processors To Start Mandating Binary Blobs · · Score: 1

    Not every Intel K has it disabled, in fact, Haswell only has like two...

  10. Re:May be good for indie game makers on Valve Introduces Steam Refunds In Advance of Summer Sale · · Score: 1

    Seems like the only ones who loose are devs who release really buggy games, or ppl who put up crap in hopes of making a quick buck.

    See Early Access, Greenlight, Unity asset abuse and Jim Sterling.

  11. Old bug is old. on Factory Reset On Millions of Android Devices Doesn't Wipe Storage · · Score: 1

    Affects Android 2.3, aka Gingerbread. Does anyone even use Gingerbread anymore? Ice Cream Sandwich was released in 2011.

  12. 10kb failed already... on Huawei's LiteOS Internet of Things Operating System Is a Minuscule 10KB · · Score: 5, Funny

    The operating system will be open for developers to tinker with

    and suddenly it becomes 10mb.

  13. Lag. on Game:ref's Hardware Solution To Cheating In eSports · · Score: 1

    I'm not plugging my 1000 DPI mouse into something that sits between it and my PC. We're trying to reduce input latency, not create it.

  14. Strange terms? on Grooveshark Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    I get that they have to remove their music library and have decided to shut down as a result... but why must they hand their software, patents and other IP to the music cartels? Why can't they keep their own stuff and choose to go legit?

  15. Okay, it's nice that you acknowledge it... on Google Insiders Talk About Why Google+ Failed · · Score: 1

    ... can you finally shitcan it now? (Like 90% of your other products...)

  16. These definitely look familiar on Random Generator Parodies Vapid Startup Websites · · Score: 1

    Are they trying to rip off a particular web CMS platform that churns out all these hipster sites, or is it just coincidence that they all look the same?

  17. This is quite old... on D-Link Apologizes For Router Security · · Score: 1

    I can't believe they haven't fixed it yet... I've been seeing these in my logs for years.

    [Mon Apr 13 14:44:22 2015] [error] [client 104.abc.def.18] File does not exist: /var/www/mywebsite.com/HNAP1

  18. Re:C64 had a cassette drive on 1980's Soviet Bloc Computing: Printers, Mice, and Cassette Decks · · Score: 1

    Not to mention most microcomputers from the 80s only had 64kb of addressable memory, and a good chunk of it was dedicated to ROM space.

  19. Isn't Bluray (or any traditional optical media for that matter) susceptible to melting in a fire? Wouldn't a platter drive survive that better?

  20. Re:Nope.jpg on Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid · · Score: 1

    Normally I would agree with you, but you don't mix B & P. (Unless your name is BP, of course)

  21. Nope.jpg on Hillary Clinton Declares 2016 Democratic Presidential Bid · · Score: 1

    We already dealt with one Clinton, it ended in White House oral and impeachment. Honestly though, I don't think we should allow family members of previous presidents to become president themselves. That means Jeb Bush too.

  22. In tomorrow's news... on US Blocks Intel From Selling Xeon Chips To Chinese Supercomputer Projects · · Score: 1

    Intel moves their HQ out of the US and continues to operate as usual.

  23. Re:Connection on Why CSI: Cyber Matters · · Score: 1

    I didn't either, but maybe the name "Lil Bow Wow" will ring a bell. He only got a spot on this show because he's related to Snoop Dogg.

  24. Re:DMCA in 3..2..1 on Building an NES Emulator · · Score: 1

    Patents on the NES hardware expired like a decade ago.

  25. Re:The future of console games on Sony Buys, Shuts Down OnLive · · Score: 1

    Secondly, that would mean you would be breaking the law just to be able to play games that you legally paid for.

    like that's actually stopped anybody...
