  1. Re:Distributed Trackers on Swedish Court Rules: 'Block the Pirate Bay For Next 3 Years' (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 1

    because it's not a tracker.

  2. Re:Slashfaux Fake News for Nerds? on RSA Conference Attendees Get Hacked (esecurityplanet.com) · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I am saying happened. This article is false. Nothing was hacked. Connecting to a fake network does not mean any hacking actually occurred!

  3. Slashfaux Fake News for Nerds? on RSA Conference Attendees Get Hacked (esecurityplanet.com) · · Score: 0

    Seriously? Hacked is hardly what happened here. There's quite a large gap between hacked and *possible* eavesdropping. Did they get into their computer? Compromise their bank account? Did they get anything at all? Where exactly is the news in this again?

  4. Distributed Trackers on Swedish Court Rules: 'Block the Pirate Bay For Next 3 Years' (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 2

    Can someone tell my why this hasn't been solved with distributed trackers? Make it where there millions of pirate bay trackers all over the world?

  5. Re:I'm sure there's a reason... on New HDMI 2.1 Spec Includes Support For Dynamic HDR, 8K Resolution (techhive.com) · · Score: 2

    Like fuck there aren't. If you can't stand in front of a 1080p and a 4k screen (55" or even smaller) with the same demo showing on both and not see a huge difference then you are blind or have some sort or brain problem.

    +1 for this. Every time someone says they can't tell the difference between 1080p and 4K, I think to myself "Just how bad is that mofos eyes???" There's a huge difference!

    They had an 8K TV setup at my local Best Buy on an 18 wheeler and actually fooled most of us that it was a window to the outside of the trailer, before they told us it was a TV. It literally looked like a piece of glass to the outside. They had it turned sideways and put a wooden border around it to enhance the effect.

  6. They don't have passwords because... on LinkedIn Warns 9.5 Million Lynda Users About Database Breach (neowin.net) · · Score: 2

    Lots of Lynda customers are businesses who use Federated Services logins.

  7. Re:Is there any point to VR tech, the 3D TV of tod on Google, HTC, Oculus, Samsung, Sony Join Forces To Create Global VR Association (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0

    Sounds like someone who's never tried a Rift or a Vive. The band thing you put your phone in doesn't count. Not even a little.

  8. Re:between 3 and 10 Mb/s is slow? on Millions In US Still Living Life In Internet Slow Lane (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You obviously don't live in a house with multiple people. Between my Mother-in-law streaming Hulu, my kids gaming while playing Youtube videos, my wife facetiming with the grandkid, and me on a VOIP call with work and 3-5 meg internet connection would be unbearable.

  9. Dude! You need to get laid, BAD! on Many CEOs Believe Technology Will Make People Largely Irrelevant (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

  10. Welcome to the new Slashdot... on Our Brains Use Binary Logic, Say Neuroscientists (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    It's just Buzzfeed with a different web design and the same old trolls.

  11. This does not disable the lock or make the device resalable. And the term "easy" shouldn't be used in this context.

  12. Doesn't seem to work on Chrome 55 Now Blocks Flash, Uses HTML5 By Default (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    I have Chrome 55 installed, but flash is still working in all the tests I do without prompting me. Even going to isflashinstalled.com works.

  13. Re:What's the big deal with 360 degree images? on VLC Media Player Previews 360-degree Video Support (videolan.org) · · Score: 1

    They look just great on my Oculus Rift DK2

    THIS! Lots of people keep whining about 360 videos and photos being dumb. Put your VR headset on and try them again. That's where the magic happens.

  14. Re:Stupid on VLC Media Player Previews 360-degree Video Support (videolan.org) · · Score: 1

    I hate 360 videos on YouTube

    You need to try them with a VR Headset. That makes lots of these 360 videos go from dull to mesmerizing.

    I'm still flying my Phantom 3 Pro and am still very happy with it. It's a reliable platform and fun as hell!

  17. Re:That's exactly how it SHOULD work! on Uber's Self-Driving Truck Went on a 120-Mile Beer Run To Make History (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but that conversation will never happen until it after it becomes a big issue. Many people simply can't fathom a world in which there is not enough work to go around.

    And that world is coming much faster than we realize. I hate to say it but population control is probably going to be a reality at some point too.

  18. That's exactly how it SHOULD work! on Uber's Self-Driving Truck Went on a 120-Mile Beer Run To Make History (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    And that's exactly how it should work! Should we also get rid of our computers and go back to armies of accounting and payroll clerks? Armies of shipping and receiving clerks?

  19. All those guys writing Malware couldn't agree more on Windows is the Most Open Platform There is, Says Satya Nadella (zdnet.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's why its so easy to infect a Windows system. Open holes every where you look! ;-)

    This was of course not the intent of the law when it was written.

    Car Dealerships selling Porsche and Ferrari build in higher income neighborhoods. News at 11.

    All joking aside. Of course businesses with expensive products target higher income areas. Next we'll be demanding Apple build Apple Stores in the ghettos.

    Dude. They are refunding you for the device... and giving you a $100 credit.

  23. I have the pile of feces known as Toyota Entune in my new Tacoma. I rarely use it. I dream of the day Toyota supports Carplay or Android auto.
