apps guy is the best so far IMO, unfortunately he misses a lot of golden opportunities lately. Maybe he himself is getting tired of the same ol dribble on slashdot.
I only use Adblock plus because ublock origin didn't get the video ads. IMO Adblock plus is better but everyone is different. Probably depends on what sites you access.
I didn't used to block all ads, but than they started hiding content behind them and the malicious ads and all of the other horrible shit the ad companies allow.. Now I figure fuck them and their money. I used to have no issue with ads on a page I was viewing but as soon as you think you can be abusive with them.. All bets are off.
EXTERNAL blu-ray burner for less then $50.. You didn't think they would cost as much as like a Samsung bluray player or some shit like that did you? And btw faster internal bluray drives are a lot cheaper.
No PC Master Race shit is retarded. I am a computer nerd. I love computers and know the power of them. Half of the reason o refuse to buy a console is because I can't open it and upgrade, I can't configure it how I want it, I don't care if someone cheats, go to a different server or a different game. And most "exclusive" titles for consoles hit PC a few months after they're released on console so they can get that extra money. And let's face it most people that play popular games like modern warfare and that shit are bratty little kids or bratty adults with very little knowledge. Not all, but most. Yes same can be said for PC gamers.. But I also enjoy the value of it being a full computer meaning I can do and run anything I want on it. PS3 was the closest you could get and was pretty fucking cool that you could run Linux on it, until Sony went and ruined that. I like to build tinker configure my devices. I can't do that with a console. I'm not saying it's for everybody, but PC is a far superior tool for the job, even for playing video games. Nobody wants up scaled 4K, the only thing consoles have going for them is controllers.. And honestly the steam controller is a superior product and they encourage you to hack and modify the thing.
You have no idea what youre talking about, geohotz was a kid at the time, and YES THE HACKER COMMUNITY VOWED TO NEVER USE SONY PRODUCTS!! do you even know what hackaday is? go learn something about shit thats almost 10 years old before you spout your nonsense. and you have the nerve to call yourself a nerd. gtfo.
Well the GPU is the expensive part. But I could build one that also does VR using a gtx1060 and AMD cpu's for probably $500-600 which is less than any new console costs. Granted the ps4 is cheaper than that but wasn't when it first came out. And still couldn't handle what the $500-600 PC could, while at the same time being a PC so you don't have to buy a console for games, and a PC for everything else.
Yes they sue 15 year old kids. That's why nobody touched the PS3 after that. Sony is a piece of shit company and will continue to be so. A lot of the qualified hackers that make home brew stuff probably won't even touch this information for fear of being bent over in court by Sony. And many have vowed to never use a Sony product again since the lawsuit. I would give citation but I'm on my phone at work, it's real easy to find on google. "Sony sues PS3 hacker" should get you all the info you need.
Unfortunately the vast majority of people that buy consumer routers would t be able to flash a custom firmware on to them if they even knew they existed. As far as power users which is the majority of slashdot(or used to be) that is normally a simple task and done immediately after purchase of a consumer router. Which is why when people ask me what router they should buy I always point them towards buffalo routers as most of their models have a custom dd-wrt firmware and can be easily web flashed with a full dd-wrt version.
I have personally never seen a browser that once you go past the page and go back still has the password in the form box. And on most items like programs they just don't allow copy on right click, you can however ctrl+c and still copy from the masked password box. But as I said not after the submit form button has been pushed
Far fewer people in those countries for one, and way less guns to start with when they "banned" them. Interestingly enough criminals in those countries still have guns. Not all of them but more than 0
I would love that, unfortunately half our population wants to play Captain save a hoe for the rest of the world, while the rest of the world calls us pieces of shit. I've been saying since I was old enough to understand what is happening that we need to spend less on helping others until we no longer need that money to help our own poor and hungry people.
Fact of the matter is there is no way to compare the two, and modeling the USA after Germany is probably one of the worst ideas possible. You thought Hitler was bad? Look what we have now, imagine if we went that far..
Unfortunatly I would say that we have more criminals than the population of both of those countries. So you cant really compare the two. Also there is already millions of guns here, and good luck accounting for them all if you were to "ban" them.
If we cut our military spending by 90% who would be there to back and or make sure your county isn't invaded?
Meaning USA = Majority of world's bodyguard.
Because right now for a majority of the world, the USA plays big brother fighting for them.
meaning if we cut our spending by so much, we would have to say fuck defending any territory that is not 100% USA. Which don't get me wrong, I feel that we should not be sending money and power to help others while at the same time its adding greatly on out national debt. Then again there are a lot of things that could be trimmed down in the budget. Schools are not one of the things.
But, Outlawing guns isn't the solution, if MORE people were trained and carried. the criminals would put a lot more thought into what they planned on doing, I used to rob drug dealers.. My time in prison made me realize how fucking stupid I was, as I already had a good trade behind me. BUT any time I did that, I would think long and hard about it if I knew they were armed. And if I knew they weren't, there was no second thought about anything but fastest way out. So I strongly feel that it should be Mandatory to be trained in firearm safety and accuracy, and be Required to carry at all times. Whether you're a felon or a cop, or a teacher, or a secretary, or if you work for a convenience store. I think you see where I'm going with this.

Once they start producing stuff worth watching, People may think about paying for it again..
Until your muslim neighbor blows your house up with you in it.
You don't even realize that you HAVE driven about 50% of the intelligent people to other sites do you?
Best fucking analogy ever!

I still dont see your point? How do you figure a console is a better value than a PC even if the PC costs a hundred or so dollars more?

I can buy a blu-ray BURNER for $30 at my local frys electronics. Try again.

Where did i mention the US getting invaded?

The USA Is not like any other country. What works for other, smaller countries with far less diversity, most likely will not work in the USA.
But, Outlawing guns isn't the solution, if MORE people were trained and carried. the criminals would put a lot more thought into what they planned on doing, I used to rob drug dealers..

As long as guns exist anywhere, criminals will have guns too.
There FTFY and don't claim I'm lying, I'm a former criminal sorry to say.
