  1. Damage already done on BLU Claims Innocence, Gets Phones Reinstated On Amazon (slashgear.com) · · Score: 2

    I won't consider their phones, or let anyone relies on me do so. They might as well not bother.

  2. Re:There is something you can do! on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do With Old Coaxial Cable? · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the $3.50 recycling payment will totally be worth all the work involved in pulling all that out of the wall and schlepping it to the recycling center 30 miles away.

  3. Cheap chinese phones may be compromised? on Some Low-Cost Android Phones Come at a Price -- Your Privacy (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I've just shat myself with surprise!

    Who didn't automatically assume this was the case?

    Seriously.

    Apart from the fact that Python is used FAR MORE than Lisp is.

  6. Certainly your comment is.

  7. Re:Well... on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    One more reason for me to never visit Brazil.

  8. Re:Cause I have been robbed twice on Ask Slashdot: Why Do So Many of You Think Carrying Cash Is 'Dangerous'? · · Score: 1

    My finances and not permanently losing money to crack heads is certainly more important to me than someone at the bank knowing what I bought on a given night.

    By a lot.

  9. Too slow in execution on Software Developer Explains Why The Ubuntu Phone Failed (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    From the start of the project, they were a bit behind Android. By the time there was a "product" (to be generous), it was far too late for a new player in the market. The android and apple markets were far too well established. They stood less of a chance than Blackberry did.

  10. How the fuck on Developer Accidentally Deletes Production Database On Their First Day On The Job (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How the fuck does a new hire have that kind of access? that's not even enough time for on-boarding. The CTO should definitely get the shitcan, as should anyone in HR involved in that debacle.

  11. Re:Jurisdiction? on Facebook Must Delete Hate Postings Worldwide, Rules Austrian Court (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt that Austria itself constitutes a significant fraction of Facebook's market.

  12. Re:One small detail... on After Almost Two Years, The Air Force's Mysterious X-37B Space Plane Lands (space.com) · · Score: 1

    The V/STOL Marine version of the F-35 is completely separate from the Air Force and Navy versions.

  13. Sounds like a plan on New York Plans To Force Uber To Add Tipping Option (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I love to tip good service. I don't carry cash typically.One reason I've tended to favor Lyft of late. If Uber adds this it would certainly make me happy.

  14. This kit is only going to get that speed on one very specific ASUS Maximus Apex motherboard, which is Intel specific.

  15. Slashdot has a mobile app? I never use those. How are you supposed to block ads and shit on a mobile app.

  16. Yet another reason... on Amazon's Third-Party Sellers Hit By Hackers (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    I never go with that sort of 3rd party vendor. Not eligible for Prime shipping, not worth the risk in general. Not worth it on the off chance I'll save a buck or two to have it take far longer than I want, and perhaps not show up at all.

  17. They're used to a monopoly, and charging obscene rates. Fuck them. Let them die.

  18. Re:Just ditch Uber already on Uber Said To Use 'Sophisticated' Software To Defraud Drivers, Passengers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I'll use either service depending on what I'm doing but I do prefer Lyft because I can tip with the app and not carry cash.

    Most drivers I've met drive for both.

  19. You have a fare to pick up, guy. Snap to it.

  20. Re:Regulation on Uber Said To Use 'Sophisticated' Software To Defraud Drivers, Passengers (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As a rider, I don't give a fuck WHY it's cheaper for me. Cab companies here flat suck. I suffered permanent injury because of one stranding me, forcing me to walk several miles in bad conditions before Uber.

    In general it's less than half what the cab companies charge here (south florida). Not counting tips.

  21. Now I normally take shorter rides, but I've never once seen the proposed/priced route be anything other than I would expect. The price has (unless I absolutely had to get a ride at peak) been anywhere near excessive.

    I have had drivers (mostly Haitian cabbies moonlighting or trying to switch) that do not use the Uber provided guidance (or any at all since they're using their phone to talk to their families in Creole) and take typical cabbie routes instead (way too long for the trip). Those drivers get a 1 to get them out of the pool as fast as possible.

  22. Allowed. Not allows on LastPass Bugs Allow Malicious Websites To Steal Passwords (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bugs have already been patched. Stop with the FUD please. Yea it's bad they existed, but they're gone.

    Sorry your cab driving gig is down the tubes. Must be sheer hell having to show up at a fare on tome and actually get off the phone while you're driving someone.

    Cab drivers are the scum of the earth.
