  1. Wow I can't wait... /s on Facebook Officially Announces Gameroom, Its PC Steam Competitor (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Looking forward to seeing this platform. I assume it will be full of shit like Farmville, Candy Crush, etc. and have new and inventive ways to annoy the piss out of everybody with requests and notifications.

  2. Re:"Includes a Cattle Prod" on China's New Policing Computer Is Frontend Cattle Prod, Backend Supercomputer (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Right? It took me longer than I'd like to admit to realize that it was a broken anchor tag.

  3. Probably not wrong... how many of their tools do you think they actually developed in-house?

    I'd say yes, but I'd presume that you could have learned the same thing for free via the internet.

  7. Should have taken it... on Samsung Tried to Bribe Chinese Man To Keep Exploding Phone Video Private (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine if the replacement also burnt up? He'd have the money from the bribe and then some!

  8. Do they really want more people living on welfare? on DNA Testing For Jobs May Be On Its Way, Warns Gartner (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    If DNA testing becomes a requirement for employment, it will also become a requirement for disability. This means, you can be a perfectly functional member of society, but get stuck living on the system because you don't have superior DNA... but why stop there? If the DNA is found at birth, you might as well not even waste your time going beyond high school, or even maybe bothering with elementary school... since you won't need to learn because you won't be able to get a job anyway.

    The future sounds like a real crapshoot.

  9. Yeah, I don't get it either... not only is the phone smaller, but the features are far FAR more limited. It's like replacing your Tesla with a Tricycle.

    If anything, the people switching to iPhones were originally iPhone users that switched to Android and got the wrong impression based on faulty hardware.

    The worst part about Twitch (and all of the other streaming sites) is the delay between the feed and the stream.

    Same here. I'm still not sure why the decided to kick out the rooted users. Some people speculated it had to do with cheaters, but there's no way that's the case since most of them were running stock. Ah well, freed up some space on my phone for games developed by better devs.

  13. It's 2016... why the fuck are people so stupid?! on Fake Call Centers in India Scam Americans Of Millions (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Anybody that falls for this shit deserves the loss. How fucking dumb do you have to be no not only fall for such an obvious scam, but to go so far as to buy fucking gift cards to pay back the IRS!?

    I'm actually kind of surprised that these scammers don't sell off lists of phone numbers of all the morons that fall for this shit. Those lists could potentially go for as much as hacked password lists.

  15. I can just imagine the call... on AT&T To End Targeted Ads Program, Give All Users Lowest Available Price · · Score: 3, Funny

    I imagine if it were a letter, it would look like this:

    "Dear $Customer:

    We have been ripping you off for years, and have finally decided to make things right (sort of). As of $Date we will be adjusting your price to the lowest price in your area ($area). Sure, our services are still available cheaper in other areas, but what are you going to do about it? Move houses?

    Shit... I didn't even think of ads/hits. I've got ads blocked 90% of the time. So what the site should have done was had a variable that tracked how many times a URL was hit. Then whatever shit company could just go to the URL and see how many times the MP3 was ripped, multiply that by however much they figure they lost in damages (divided by the number of unique links) and paid out their artists accordingly.

    PROBLEM SOLVED. /s
