  1. Re:Netflix DVDs or bust. on 2.7 Million Americans Still Get Netflix DVDs in the Mail (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    All of their Netflix Original content is eventually released to DVD on pretty much the same timelines as any other content is released to disc. Same with other streaming catalogs. You can get original Hulu shows (like The Handmaid's Tale) on DVD through Netflix.

  2. Have they fixed the Spinning Wheel of Death? on Firefox 66 Arrives With Autoplaying Blocked by Default, Smoother Scrolling, and Better Search (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I really don't care about new features. I want to switch back to Firefox, but I just can't do it until they fix the spinning wheel of death issue.

  3. Re:Because the cost is hidden. on Visa, Mastercard Mull Increasing Fees For Processing Transactions: Report (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They can't charge extra fees, but they can raise their prices, which is what they do.

  4. This guy thinks highly of himself on We Should Replace Facebook With Personal Websites (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    He thinks creating a personal web site was "forward looking". Ever hear of GeoCities or AngelFire which were around since the 90's?

    He thinks a hot-or-not section is "prescient" even though hotornot.com started in 2000.

  5. Re:Voyager 2 on The Most-Distant Solar System Object Discovered (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's a question of semantics. Voyager has left our heliosphere. This new planet is still held by the sun's gravity, so it would be part of our solar system even if it is outside the heliosphere.

  6. What kind of idiot would spend $1.55 for a bottle of water - especially when purchased by the case? The original price of $1.17 per bottle in the 6-pack was already overpriced.

  7. Round number in Imperial units? on Japan Plans For 100ft Tsunami (thesun.ie) · · Score: 1

    Seems odd that Japan is planning for a tsunami that is such a round number when measured in Imperial units. Are they actually planning for a 30m tsunami?

  8. Why is this an issue? on Neurosurgery Could Spread Protein Linked To Alzheimer's, Study Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but why aren't they cleaning the equipment properly to begin with? And why is it news that using dirty equipment for surgery can cause problems for the patient?

  9. Can we count on using the current temperature of the North Pole as the temperature we can conduct superconductivity? If so, climate change will be a huge help for progress in this field. /s

  10. Re: Decrypt This Blockchain! on Australia Passes Anti-Encryption Laws [Update] (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not one to throw around insults, so this is just informational:

    MAGA + maggot = magat

  11. Public Information on Millions of Texas Voter Records Exposed Online (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Isn't that public information? I know that in my state, I can go to an official state government web site and purchase/download that information for $20. In some states it's free.

  12. How dare they create a rectangular device with rounded corners, full screen, and front/rear facing cameras!

  13. Re:Seems illegal. on Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police iPhone Unlockers (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    WHOOSH!

    Headline reads: "Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police..."

  14. Seems illegal. on Apple Is Testing a Feature That Could Kill Police iPhone Unlockers (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It seems like killing police for unlocking an iPhone would get Apple in trouble.

  15. Re:A Revelation, Mister Nadella on Microsoft Acquires GitHub For $7.5B (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, but The Matrix 2 and 3 were complete shit, and I deny they were ever made. Neo is the good guy, and Agent Smith was the bad guy.

  16. Re:A Revelation, Mister Nadella on Microsoft Acquires GitHub For $7.5B (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    Just remember, it was the bad guy who made that speech in The Matrix, not the good guy.

  17. Re:nooo on Microsoft Acquires GitHub For $7.5B (microsoft.com) · · Score: 1

    GitHub is not open source.

    Git is open source.

  18. Re:Try reading the TOS on Federal Judge Says Embedding a Tweet Can Be Copyright Infringement (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm not claiming no copyright was violated. I'm just saying the third party embedders aren't the ones who violated it. The original tweeter who posted the image did.

  19. Re:Try reading the TOS on Federal Judge Says Embedding a Tweet Can Be Copyright Infringement (eff.org) · · Score: 1

    But according to the headline, "Federal Judge Says Embedding a Tweet Can Be Copyright Infringement". The embedder did not violate copyright, or at least can't be held liable due to DMCA safe harbor. They legally embedded a Tweet that they were allowed to embed. The person who posted the Tweet is the one who violated copyright. If the tweet is removed, the embeds will also be removed.

  21. The same as all other astronomical events... on How To Watch the 'Super Blue Blood Moon' Lunar Eclipse (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    Just do the same thing I do. Look up at the sky and curse those damn clouds that are always there during every single astronomical event I want to watch.

  22. Dear Slashdot on The Mystery of the Cars Abandoned in a Robot Car Park (bbc.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    There are also abandoned cars in my neighborhood. Slashdot, please help me solve this non-tech mystery on a supposedly tech-related site.

  23. Re:My favorite emoticon on Scientists Prove Emoticons Are Not Universally Understood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    emoticon != emoji

  24. No, it's because I don't want them tracking me. I'm not sure I've ever clicked on a web ad on purpose.

  25. If I have to see ads on a web site, my preference is that they are "generic and less timely and useful" since I'm going to ignore them anyway.
