  1. Re:CC chargeback and if they ban you fully paid ga on Ubisoft Revokes Digital Keys For Games Purchased Via Unauthorised Retailers · · Score: 1

    Most CC operators won't let you issue that many chargebacks. If they do, they're likely to report you to the police for fraud.

  2. Re:"Fraudulent" on Ubisoft Revokes Digital Keys For Games Purchased Via Unauthorised Retailers · · Score: 1

    Even if that was the case, it would prove that currency unity needs to be properly applied. Ubisoft wasn't the only company to recently change their prices related to current exchange rates. http://phandroid.com/2015/01/0...

  3. LMB+RMB=MMB on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    Windows and Linux both interpret pressing both mouse buttons as pressing the middle mouse button.

  4. Thank god I bought a 980. on NVIDIA Responds To GTX 970 Memory Bug · · Score: 1

    Nuff said.

  5. Re:Seriously??? on Ask Slashdot: Best Anti-Virus Software In 2015? Free Or Paid? · · Score: 1

    Cryptolocker, and subsequently, cryptowall.

  6. I bought a 980 over the holidays. Runs 3x 1080p excellently. If I had the extra money to spend, I would have bought g-sync monitors, but they would cost more than my PC did, so screw it.

  7. Re:Just give the option to turn it off... on Fake Engine Noise Is the Auto Industry's Dirty Little Secret · · Score: 1

    The Harley package used to be a super charger, but it's nothing more than a fascia package now.

  8. Blender is too confusing on The Current State of Linux Video Editing · · Score: 1

    If I couldn't use it for 3d animation, what makes you think I can use it for video editing... and since when can a 3d designer do video editing anyways...

  9. Confusing on Microsoft Outlook Users In China Hit With MITM Attack · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Outlook, the email client... or Outlook.com the Hotmail replacement?

  10. Samsung does this too... on Micromax Remotely Installing Unwanted Apps and Showing Ads · · Score: 2

    My phone is constantly downloading shit I don't want. Luckily for me I can freeze it all.

  11. One has to wonder how many of these 19,000 were hosted by OVH, and why they couldn't stop the traffic from reaching the servers in their network... (Except that we already know that hosting providers only care about making a buck.)

  12. Re:no thanks on The 'Radio Network of Things' Can Cut Electric Bills (Video) · · Score: 1

    If by "work just fine" you mean wasting energy and costing you more, then you are right.

    I like my water-wasting toilet, thanks. These no-flow toilets are absolute garbage. If I have to route wires to tell my utility company how many times I have to flush, that starts encroaching on "personal information".

  13. Re:Honest question. on Fighting Tech's Diversity Issues Without Burning Down the System · · Score: 1

    Why do we need women in tech so bad? Seriously, why?

    Because feminists have too much sand in their vaginas and would rather decimate every industry than accept true equality. If women don't want to work in an industry in sufficient numbers to create a 50/50 gender bias, then that's their choice. This isn't about "tech" being a vat of toxic masculinity like they would suggest.

  14. Re:ATI/AMD has had shitty drivers for 20 years on AMD Catalyst Is the Broken Wheel For Linux Gaming · · Score: 1

    I always felt that ATI (pre-AMD)'s Windows drivers weren't that bad. After starting to use Linux in the early 00's, I had to switch to Nvidia, and I haven't looked back. Yeah, they're both binary drivers, but Nvidia always worked better for me in Linux, and in cases where I dual-booted, this really made the difference as to which card I bought.

  15. Oh goody, another graphene article on Deep-Frying Graphene Microspheres For Energy Storage · · Score: 0

    Either shit or get off the pot, guys. I'm tired of hearing research with no viable end product to back it up.

  16. Enough with the Anita Sarkeesian bullshit... on Study: Belief That Some Fields Require "Brilliance" May Keep Women Out · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This so called "brilliance" is called skill. Special snowflakes like feminists have no concept of learning skills applicable to the workplace, unless it's filing superfluous sexual harassment lawsuits, or causing a stink to make her special snowflakes look superior to beta males.

  17. Even worse... on There's a Problem In the Silk Road Trial: the Jury Doesn't Get the Internet · · Score: 1

    The jury was instructed to believe that any technical evidence the FBI provides was obtained legally. Whether or not they did remains controversial.

  18. In other news... on Uber Suspends Australian Transport Inspector Accounts To Block Stings · · Score: 1

    Uber kicks out city bylaw officers at preliminary business meeting WRT setting up shop in a Canadian city.

    http://www.thespec.com/news-st...

    Personally, I would rather take uber than take a run down cab, driven by a person who doesn't know the city, let alone drive safely. My last cab ride consisted of a minivan with practically no electrical (the dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree), bald tires, in 3 feet of snow. Let's just say I'm glad I made it home safely. All these foreigners care about is making a buck. They don't give a shit about their cars, or how they drive (and how it affects their passengers). The people who run these cab companies make back-door deals with the city so they're the only people allowed to obtain medallions, which also prevents competition. Long story short, the taxi cab business is fucked, and I'm glad Uber is taking a stand against these corrupt bastards.

  19. Nah. on The Mainframe Is Dead! Long Live the Mainframe! · · Score: 2

    As long as things like Terminal Services and Citrix exist, the "mainframe" as you know it won't ever die.

  20. No... on DuinoKit Helps Teach Students About Electronics (Video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It doesn't teach you electronics. It teaches you the arduino IDE platform and pinouts. Stop calling it electronics. If you really want to learn electronics, you would fab your own board and solder the microprocessor to it yourself.

  21. Obligatory Eve Online reference on "Disco Clam" Lights Up To Scare Predators Away · · Score: 1

    If I wanted to see a disco ball, I'd go get smartbombed by Rooks vs Kings.

  22. Re:Useless site on "Disco Clam" Lights Up To Scare Predators Away · · Score: 1

    Telegram? What's that? I'm still using the carrier pigeon.

  23. Too OP on Finnish Bank OP Under Persistent DDoS Attack · · Score: 3, Funny

  24. Re:Where do they get floppy DRIVES?! on US CTO Tries To Wean the White House Off Floppy Disks · · Score: 2

    Iomega. They make USB-based floppy drives still.

  25. Re:floppy disks don't contain silicon ICs on US CTO Tries To Wean the White House Off Floppy Disks · · Score: 2

    Last time I remember using a floppy, I formatted the disk, put some files on it, and walked across the room. The PC I put the floppy into didn't even see that it was formatted. Put the floppy back into the first machine, and sure enough, it was blank. Fuck Floppies.
