  1. Angry Hitler on Court Rules Fan Subtitles On TV and Movies Are Illegal (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Just as long as they don't take my angry Hitler away.

  2. 9. Game mode: It "ensures" your computer is always maximizing its resources for an optimal gaming experience.

    If this mode doesn't disable telemetry so you can keep your ping down and bandwidth optimal, then it's worthless.

  3. Re:All this Glitz but it's still posessed... on Slashdot Asks: Windows 10 Creators Update Goes Live On April 11, Will You Upgrade? · · Score: 1

    How many updates broke Internet Explorer?

    How can you break what's already broken?

  4. Re:"Shows Why We Can't Have Nice Things For Cheap" on A Lawsuit Over Costco Golf Balls Shows Why We Can't Have Nice Things For Cheap (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Or the Gilette/Schick.

    Your pick. This exact same thing has been happening to both Harry's and Dollar Shave Club due to lost profits and supposed copyright infringements.

    There's no reason a razor refill or a golf ball should be 4 dollars a pop.

  5. I'm betting more on Google and Facebook respectively.

    Some people just don't know, or don't care to know the difference between methyl and ethyl groups.

    Here's an experiment you can do at home.

    Have a shot of wood alcohol. It will calm your nerves, permanently.

  7. You didn't waste anything, just converted that energy into heat and blunt force!

  8. Re:Seems reasonable and prudent... on UK: New Drivers Caught Using a Phone Will Lose Their License (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    ^^^^^ That was a proud Note 7 owner!

  9. Where's Bear Grylls when you need him?

  10. We can't cure cancer, but we can get that last glob of ketchup out of a bottle!

  11. An Improvement on New York Sues Charter Over Slow Internet Speeds (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    When I originally moved into my house in 2011, we had charter and it was terrible.

    I live at the edge of the earth, so I gladly jumped at 12mbps internet over the 5mbps that Verizon was offering with DSL. Sadly it only went 2-3mbps when the ping wasn't >1000ms.

    Fast forward to today, they offer 60mbps in my area, I give a shot again, and this time it actually works great, without any hitches.

    I'm not sure what they fixed in my area, but I'm glad they did.

  12. Re:destroy the FCC on New York Sues Charter Over Slow Internet Speeds (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    And this ^^^^ is why no one takes liberals seriously.

  13. Because metal ya nerd. \\m//

  14. Most people in my circle would refer to anything McAfee or Norton as malware.

  15. If a company would just make a wearable that looked like the scouters from DBZ, I would throw all my credit cards at the screen!

  16. Re:iPhone... iPad on Apple Considering Expansion Into Wearable Glasses, Says Report (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The more I think about it, the more i'm surprised that apple doesn't already have an iMonocle.

  17. No no no, they work for each other.

  18. Indeed so, I'm just still waning myself off sugar so a little bit goes a long way.

  19. That's exactly why I drink more coffee now than soda, I normally use a tablespoon of sugar for a 12 oz cup of coffee, compare that to a coke or pepsi and you've cut your sugar consumption by 3/4.

  20. Re:Holy Shit on Nvidia Adds Telemetry To Latest Drivers (ghacks.net) · · Score: 1

    Their drivers are fine, and have been since a few years after ATI was acquired by AMD.

    I will agree with you greatly on the power consumption, although the latest generation has come a long way. and *gasp*, they work in Linux out of the box.

  21. Re:mountains of diamonds on Scientists at De Beers Fight the Growing Threat of Man-Made Diamonds (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps synthetic diamonds should be marketed as "cruelty-free intrinsically worthless chunk of carbon".

    Not wanting to detract from your statement cause you're spot on, but FTFY.

  23. Windows can keep that cancer.
