  1. Re:bitcoin solves exactly this problem on PayPal Dumped Cloud Company After It Refused To Monitor Customers' Files (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I could see this as a potentially good thing. It's down a bit now, but that may be allowing more people to use the service and spreading its use (more people accepting it means more places it can be spent).

  2. Re:Google Play Music on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Music Streaming Service? · · Score: 1

    They don't really *give* it to us. It costs like $15/mo or something like that.

  3. Shouldn't somebody be hired to look at how useless this all is? Every time something bad happens, your government rushes to spend more money on "Security" but in the end, mass tragedies still happen. I think they really need to go back to the drawing board and find a more effective way to resolve these issues.

  4. So, why not use your guns for what you all say the law is for, and take on your government?

  5. Google Play Music on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Preferred Music Streaming Service? · · Score: 2

    By far the best option in Canada. Most music, best mobile and webapp layouts, AND you get 10% off the Play store.

  6. I wish I had some mod points for your comment. :(

  7. Why is Ransomware the new thing? on New Ransomware Written Entirely In JavaScript (scmagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't see that many people paying into it... I mean, if a criminal promised to give me X back if I payed them $Y, I'm not sure I'd trust them. Wouldn't it be more effective to create a worm that secretly installs some software to mine bitcoin for the author or something?

  8. Re:frist post on Thanks To Apple's Influence, You're Not Getting A Rifle Emoji (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 2

    This doesn't make sense considering there are also knife and pistol emoji characters.

  9. Windows 420

  10. Not only is that thing ugly AF, the design makes 0 sense... it looks like they just copied and pasted a bunch of parts from other vehicles into this. And even the inside is ugly and non-functional. Those back seats are way too close to the front seats, too. Uncomfortable to look at, uncomfortable to use.

  11. Re:Ponemon Institute? on The Average Cost of a Data Breach Is Now $4 Million (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Appreciate the thought, but I posted as AC, so it wouldn't let you mod it anyway. Thanks though.

  12. Re:Watch Out For Lars on Rhapsody Rebrands Itself As Napster (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    BEER GOOD! NAPSTER BAD!

  13. Re:Moral of the story... on Developer Accuses Apple Of Stealing His Breathe App (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 2

    Tell that to the RIAA/MPAA

  14. I don't understand how this exploit would affect a phone bill...?

  15. Re:Moral of the story... on Developer Accuses Apple Of Stealing His Breathe App (www.bgr.in) · · Score: 2

    Stealing his idea, and in turn, his userbase.

  16. Re:Uh, that user has no posts? on Programmer Automates His Job For 6 Years, Gets Fired, Realizes He Has Forgotten How To Code · · Score: 1

    Good catch! Thanks for calling me out. :)

  17. Uh, that user has no posts? on Programmer Automates His Job For 6 Years, Gets Fired, Realizes He Has Forgotten How To Code · · Score: 2

    So everybody in here is calling out how the story *may* be false etc... but what's even worse is that /u/FiletOfFish1066 is a 2-day-old account (as of June 13, 2016) and has 0 posts and 0 comments. So fake that the guy himself deleted the story as soon as it blew up.

  18. The line is "news for nerds, stuff that matters" as in "the news for nerds is the stuff that matters." I think you mistook it for "News for nerds; stuff that matters" which would imply it covered nerdy news as well as other important topics. The difference some punctuation can make...

  19. Re:Stale passwords on Hacker Puts 51 Million iMesh Accounts For Sale On Dark Web (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised that the accounts database still exists...

  20. Re:I honestly see nothing wrong with this on Canada Federal Court Restrains Sale Of 'Pirate' Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    It blows my mind, though, how most end-users don't even understand the most basic things about what they're doing. I'm not even sure many of them realize that what they're doing is illegal.

  21. Re:I honestly see nothing wrong with this on Canada Federal Court Restrains Sale Of 'Pirate' Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    We're sorry, your download of Backdoor Sluts 9 has been interrupted to update to Windowsbox 10.

  22. I honestly see nothing wrong with this on Canada Federal Court Restrains Sale Of 'Pirate' Boxes (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The things are putting a negative slant on Android, as if it's a platform for piracy. Hell, I'd say a good chunk of people with "Android boxes" have no idea what it's even doing. I actually appreciate taking these things out of the hands of noobs.

  23. So first we get a report of an XBox One Two, and now a Playstation Four Two. I predict that the next go around, people won't even bother buying the first release with the expectation of a more powerful half-way release of the same system.

  24. for the hundredth goddamn fucking time. Now stop fucking asking, or use your damn manners DAVE.

  25. Re:Selling renwable power on Apple Creates Energy Company, Looks To Sell Excess Power Into The Grid (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    And Apple Energy will only power Apple devices. It won't work with other electronics.
