  1. Re: Not everyone gets this price break on Amazon Will Offer Prime Video At Half-Price In All New Markets For Six More Months (ndtv.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed, if Prime had the catalog Netflix had, I'd be watching Prime.

  2. Re: Never will work... on State Legislators Want Surveillance Cameras To Catch Uninsured Drivers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    How do they target poor and minority? It's a robot, it scans, you owe. That's it. Driving is a privilege not a right. Do illegal stuff, get a ticket. Pay like the rest of us, if not.... we'll boot your shit.

  3. That's exactly it. Whoever you report it to goes "o well, it's from another country. Can't do anything about it". So why report it, suck it up and then install Linux.

  4. Re: Anti-Apple Bias on The Right To Repair Movement Is Forcing Apple To Change (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Not at all. M$ is just using an Apple tactic. We'll do what we want, until courts tell us we can't. Then we play dumb and go ooooooo so, that wasn't the right thing to do, now we know.

  5. Thanks for the link. It's not on there, wasn't a hugely popular model being a rugged phone.

  6. Re: Time to cancel netflix on HBO, Netflix, Other Hollywood Companies Join Forces To Fight Piracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I love people who act all smug who point out "it's the content owners that do licensing to certain areas". If that were true, Canadian kids shows would be available on CDN Netflix NOT Amurica only.

  7. Left vulnerable by NEVER updating the operating systems on phones other than Flagship. I remember stage fright, they promised a security release. Still waiting on my 4.4.1.

  8. I completely agree. I'll pirate a new movie to watch it. If I had to pay to see the movie, I wouldn't. Actually there was a release this week I was excited about. I paid to go see it, put out non dribble and I'll pay. The 1st theater movie I've paid to see in 3 years.

  9. Re: They've already been fighting piracy for years on HBO, Netflix, Other Hollywood Companies Join Forces To Fight Piracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    O wait......that is already happening

  10. Re: It's fine, I just won't watch anymore on HBO, Netflix, Other Hollywood Companies Join Forces To Fight Piracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    That's how I am too. We remember growing up in the 80s/90s movies were fantastic. You watched them and watched them again. Now, I see a new on theater movie and it's 50/50 if it's going to suck (closer to 75/25). So, I watch it for free, if it is memorable then I purchase.

  11. Re: Time to cancel netflix on HBO, Netflix, Other Hollywood Companies Join Forces To Fight Piracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I cancelled the day they started the battle vs VPN's and their geoblocking. Kodi has filled the void nicely, I tried to pay for things but some company kept telling me what I could or couldn't do.

  12. Re: So... yay? on Amazon Sues Former AWS VP Over Non-Compete Deal (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    Sharks eating sharks....And it's not even Shark week on Discovery Channel. O my!

  13. They were probably having him teach his supreme Indian replacement.

  14. Been like that for ages, baby-boomers, gen x, gen y, etc now Millennials. You're nothing special as a millennial.

  15. I agree. I remember when Crapple came out and said that viruses n such were a Windows problem and tooted their horn. Week later all these viruses for Mac popped up and they began crying

  16. Re: That's difficult to do on Price-gouging Maker of EpiPen Literally Said That Critics Can Go Fuck Themselves (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    He sounds like the Nestle guy who said everyone should pay for water.

  17. Re: Not IT... Riiiight... on British Airways Says IT Collapse Came After Servers Damaged By Power Problem (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    That was my first thought. A setup that size would have to have UPS backup setups upon backups. Baloney.

  18. Re: what? on Is Amazon's AWS Hiring 'Demolishing The Cult Of Youth'? (redmonk.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep. Apparently not hiring the entitled kids is wrong.

  19. Re: Better Solutioin on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 1

    Majority of newer games do get supported under Wine. Unless you're playing the Original Diablo or something, you're good to go.

  20. Re: I'm not your home IT staff... on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 1

    Hahaha I had to do the same thing.

  21. Re: Will you finally get to work already? on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 1

    Ok Anonymous Windows PR rep. I can do anything on Linux someone can on Windoze and without the anal probe

  22. Re: Better Solutioin on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Been a Linux user since XP, never looked back.

  23. Re: Let's ditch Windows, huh? on Security Analyst Concludes Windows 10 Enterprise 'Tracks Too Much' (xato.net) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Or keep Windows nicely tucked away in a VM.
