  1. Re:deliberate malicious act by a rogue on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 2

    That was a clear case of copyright infringement.

  2. Re:Do Apple leaks matter? on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 1

    Why would you want a phone with cutting edges? How would you hold the damn thing? Do you wear a full plate armour every day?

  3. Re:Like it matters when Cook is presenting on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 1

    Just wait until he tries to demo the animoji thing. Even the emojis will look bored.

  4. Re:RTFS much? on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 1

    So you're saying that iOS 11 is now open source? Hurray!

  5. Re:Oh Please! on Apple Suffers 'Major iPhone X Leak' · · Score: 2

    ...or maybe the leak drives focus AWAY from a CEO who is not as good at showmanship as the previous CEO.

    Just because Steve Jobs really knew how to present things in a keynote with showmanship and Tim Cook sounds as exciting on stage as a monotonic teacher... eh... never mind.

    The iPhone 8 is literally an uglier iPhone 7 that will be easier to break due to the glass back.

    And even that is not new at all. The iPhone 4 already had an easy-to-break glass back.

  7. Steve Jobs emulators

    Let's not forget that Steve Jobs was against emulators because it allows you to bypass security measures.

    Linus acts like a jerk, but he's usually correct and doesn't seem capable of being nice about it.

    How the fucking hell is he supposed to be fucking nice when everyone around him is a fucking idiot?

    And let's not forget what MBA really means: Must Be Asshole.

  8. I couldn't find LSD, so I tried taking LCD instead. There's one major downside to it: everything looks pixelated now.

  9. Why RSS beats Facebook and Twitter for news on Why RSS Still Beats Facebook and Twitter for Tracking News (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Because RSS doesn't ask you for your email, address, credit card numbers, doesn't try and track you to the end of the world and doesn't resell your information and web browsing patterns.

    RSS is an open standard that anyone can use, Facebook and Twitter are proprietary, closed commercial platforms controlled by a handful of entities including, I'm guessing, NSA/CIA/FBI/etc.

  10. Re:Soon we don't need humans. on As Robots Move Into Amazon's Warehouses, What's Happening To Its Human Workers? (brisbanetimes.com.au) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Does it endanger short-term profits? No? Then fuck off!

    Signed,
    Greedy CEOs.

  11. Re: Soon we don't need humans. on As Robots Move Into Amazon's Warehouses, What's Happening To Its Human Workers? (brisbanetimes.com.au) · · Score: 1

    ... from orbit? Because that's the only way to be sure.

  12. As robots move into Amazon's warehouses, what's happening to its human workers?

    Ever watched Robot Wars or Battlebots? Same thing, but with a lot more blood. And all fights will soon be available on Amazon Prime!

  13. Re:"one that takes us back to the dark ages" on How Proprietary Software Lets Companies Cheat (locusmag.com) · · Score: 1

    As for making a decent living, our customers get the source code to all our software. Mostly because they need about $3,000,000 of our hardware to run it, so it's pretty much useless to anyone who doesn't buy that from us.

    Damn, and I thought Macs were expensive!

  14. Re:Batteries that aren't full-cycled last longer on Tesla Temporarily Boosts Battery Capacity For Hurricane Irma (sfgate.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

  16. Re:"one that takes us back to the dark ages" on How Proprietary Software Lets Companies Cheat (locusmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Shit will continue to happen as long as you keep categorizing stuff into "left-wing vs right-wing" boxes.

    Forget politics, look at what's happening and think for yourself, not for some political group that DOES NOT have your best interests at heart.

  17. You haven't been talking to the same people as me. When the browser throws an error, they blame the website.

  18. Re:Musicoin on Can Blockchain Save The Music Industry? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why I said Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin or Ethereum. I usually pay a fee of one Dogecoin per transaction and it doesn't take days.

  19. Re:Not the right question. on Can Blockchain Save The Music Industry? (wired.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Time for that trip behind the barn.

    You mean, time to get intimate with the farmer's daughter?

  20. Re:No on Can Blockchain Save The Music Industry? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin technology is more like a shared database that a single entity on the network cannot try to corrupt or modify without the knowledge of others.

  21. Re:Musicoin on Can Blockchain Save The Music Industry? (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would a specific industry require their own crypto-currency? Pay the artists in Bitcoin, Litecoin, Dogecoin or even Ethereum but enough with the "me too" coins already.

  22. Didn't need AC, as soon as I saw the title it morphed into this in my mind:

    Swarms of flying robot bees could monitor weather, spy on people.

  23. Re:related documentary on Swarms Of Flying Robot Bees Could Monitor Weather, Collect Data (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    +1 informative.

    And since this is Slashdot, it's kind of +1 Obligatory, too.

    Don't fear A.I. because it's A.I., fear A.I. because military/governments/etc will control it.

  24. Re:Stolen from twitter on What's Causing The Hurricanes? (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Okay so... we get a break until 2027, then more hurricanes in 2028?

  25. Re:The weather on What's Causing The Hurricanes? (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    But the world is ending! With each passing day, we are one day closer to the end of the world!

    Oh you meant an actual, pretty soon-ish date? No idea about that.
