  1. Re:FortNite is crapping gold bricks... on Fortnite is Generating More Revenue Than Any Other Free Game Ever (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Spot on - if you can go 6 years, you're not challenging much and probably don't top $1k. You're not buying the highest end stuff and you're not worried about playing at the highest settings and resolutions.

  2. Re:Let me get this straight on Anonymous Hacker Explains His Attack On Boston Children's Hospital (huffingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    You need to look into this concept called a "patient portal".

  3. Re:One bad apple spoils the barrel on Combating Recent, Ugly Incidents of Misogyny In Gamer Culture · · Score: 1

    Arguing those people should get accounts on IMDB and other movie-related sites in order to be more broadly consistent in their rape and death threats in an intriguing idea, but I think not ultimately a good one.

  4. Re:Screw the Streisand effect on MetaFilter Founder Says Vacation Firm Forged Court Docs To Scotch Review · · Score: 1

    It's odd how you were inspired to make a link for your Hood effect, but it's not to a website or article explaining what the Hood effect is. Neither does Google seem to find any good quick explanation of it. That was very helpful, thank you.

  5. Re:No More Bennett on Why Phone Stores Should Stockpile Replacements · · Score: 1

    I don't think they're angry rants at all. They tend to be stupid, coddle me, "I don't understand" types of posts that are utterly pointless, but I've not ever seen them to be emotional per se.

  6. Re:"Couchsurfing.org volunteer"? on Couchsurfing Hacked, Sends Airbnb Prank Spam · · Score: 2

    I don't think it's integrity Bennett Haselton doesn't have, it's brevity. Different ity.

  7. Re:You have to understand on Ebola Quarantine Center In Liberia Looted · · Score: 1

    No. We've only seen that (some!) southerners survive, because we are only shown the south. We have no information about anywhere else.

  8. Re:Stupid on Apple's Diversity Numbers: 70% Male, 55% White · · Score: 2

    Seeked?

    Not really, Matthew Broderick. Sounds about the same.

  10. IT not your issue on Ask Slashdot: Good Technology Conferences To Attend? · · Score: 1

    You need training on how to communicate, because you provided precisely zero information on which to base a useful answer to your question.

  11. Re:Simple Answers to Simple Questions on Ask Slashdot: IT Personnel As Ostriches? · · Score: 1

    You actually ask for user passwords? That's kind of a big no-no. Even worse as you mention you don't need it.

  12. Re:Obvious on Fooling a Mercedes Into Autonomous Driving With a Soda Can · · Score: 1

    Pretty much any of the ones that would actually constitute autonomy, seems like.

  13. Re:Disengenous on Amazon's eBook Math · · Score: 1

    Totally agree with this. I don't even hardly ever game anymore, but $5 purchases sure make for an easy win if I'm at all interested, just in case. I still haven't played most of them, FWIW. At higher prices, I wouldn't have bought them, either.

  14. Re:Every single day on Comcast Confessions · · Score: 1

    If it bleeds, it leads. You could get it passed around long enough to get talked about, at least, even if the vast majority of people never see the source material.

  15. Re:Every single day on Comcast Confessions · · Score: 1

    So the poster asks for what would work, and you give them something you don't expect to work?

  16. Re:Occams Scalpel on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that the industry and gaming culture consider that acceptable behavior, or that a vocal minority of shitheads do? Extrapolating the behavior of the few and deciding the many think it's cool is of course, quite silly. Don't you think that suggesting the entire industry and all gamers have a problem is rather ad hom-y of you?

  17. Re:Pft on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: 1

    Do you think that because the average gamer is in the mid 30s that there are no vocal minority of immature, blubbering 12 year olds or those who act like them? Extremists and idiots always make more noise. And they either don't know or don't care (quite often both) if the majority doesn't share their opinions - if they did, we wouldn't be talking about them, would we? That's exactly WHY they do what they do.

  18. Re:Black hole? on Sony Forgets To Pay For Domain, Hilarity Ensues · · Score: 1

    What would be illegal about a company managing it's email accounts?

  19. Re:TripAdvisor on French Blogger Fined For Negative Restaurant Review · · Score: 1

    It's certainly not the highest quality, but it's understandable. Coherent content; hardly butchering a language. You should probably get out more. I used to work with a guy who could reasonably clearly articulate words that were obviously English language, however I could never extract what exactly he was trying to say with those words. Obviously, he was an extreme example, but merely being non-grammatical or not spelling well doesn't mean you can't communicate.

  20. Re:Overreaction on Dubai's Climate-Controlled Dome City Is a Dystopia Waiting To Happen · · Score: 1

    They don't do that in any of the other malls in the UAE, so I don't know why you'd think they'd do it for this one.

    Dubai is extremely humid. You are completely incorrect.

  22. Re:As plain as the googgles on your face on The Future of Wearables: Standalone, Unobtrusive, and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    To imagine that Glass is always pointed at something interesting is pretty narcissistic, don't you think?

  23. Re:NOT ME !! on The Future of Wearables: Standalone, Unobtrusive, and Everywhere · · Score: 1

    Now, of course the question is whether or not this was pasted in because AC likes Dvorak, or he's making fun of the blowtard.

  24. Re:Another child making unsupported claims on 15-Year-Old Developing a 3D Printer 10x Faster Than Anything On the Market · · Score: 1

    If you can't find a way around that but all the dummies can, maybe you aren't as smart as you think you are. Maybe they're not really as dumb as you think. I've seen a number of theoretically smart people turn out to be ultimately clueless. Even worse are those who can't do X, but decry anyone not well versed in their field as stupid. Think doctors who can grasp medical principles we couldn't dream of, but can't figure out that an Excel spreadsheet shared on a network makes for a crappy "database" for them all to be in and out of, constantly entering data. Some would declare them dumb, but it simply isn't their field. Looking down your nose at everyone else says a hell of a lot more about you than it does them.

    When your stuff is all destroyed, your home in tatters, and they won't pay for any of it, you'll find out who that joke is really on.
