  1. Re:Who needs Sony? on Sony Cracks Down On Sexually Explicit Content In Games (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    PC gaming is more of a pain in the ass for me. I don't really enjoy the constant upgrade treadmill. I just want something that works and allows me to sit on the couch and game for a few hours at a time. I don't tend to get most games when they are released and by the time I do get around to them they are usually in the $20-30 range which doesn't really break the bank.

  2. I think they owned KFC, Taco Bell, and Pizza Hut just long enough to ruin those brands.

    My wife still gets the dvd plan (streaming as well) since she likes to watch a lot of indie movies that aren't available for streaming.

    awesome, I have one right down the street from me. Nothing beats walking the aisles and finding a forgotten gem.

    nothing wrong with heavy metal.

    you mean like Senor Spielbergo?

  7. Re:Yeah this isn't going to work on 'Energizing Times': Microsoft To 'Go Big' at E3 in Response To Google Stadia (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I sure the hell wish I had 1000/1000 service available to me.

  8. Re:Original Content? on Netflix Won't Join Apple's Video Streaming Service (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Hell yeah. One of the best shows ever.

  9. Re:Microsoft making the problem worse on Intel CPU Shortages To Worsen in Q2 2019: Research (digitimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Years ago we had Dell Optiplex 740 and 580 systems at work. Both of those systems used AMD Athlon processors.

  10. Re:Gouging and overbearing DRM induces piracy on Studies Keep Showing That the Best Way To Stop Piracy Is To Offer Cheaper, Better Alternatives (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    You would think they would realize that charging lower prices would result in more sales. If movies were $5 and TV box sets $10-15 I think a lot more impulse sales would result.

  11. Re:Windows 10 has a different audience now. on Microsoft is Separating Cortana From Search in Windows 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Doing all my computing on a phone or tablet would be an awful experience.

  12. Re:I would just be happy on YouTube Will Remove All Pop-up Annotations on January 15 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I use Firefox with ublock and it works pretty well.

  13. I was thinking 3 years would be pretty good.

  14. That's the worst news I've heard today.

  15. Re:CDs... the most under-appreciated music format on Best Buy Stops Selling Music CDs (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, they just want to keep that revenue stream flowing.

  16. Re:"Better Ingredients, Better Pizza" lawsuit on Should T-Mobile Stop Claiming It Has 'Best Unlimited Network'? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Pizza Hut is garbage, and Papa Johns is only slightly better.

  17. Re:Jeez, $20 bucks for a skin? on Free To Play, Expensive To Love: 'Fortnite' Changes Video Game Business (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I miss the single player games. It just isn't much fun spawning and getting killed 5 seconds later over and over again in multiplayer. I would take something like Fallout or Skyrim over Fortnite any day. Micro transactions are pretty annoying as well.

  18. Re:5G will fix this on Verizon Will Fix Broadband Networks, Landlines To Resolve Investigation (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    a wired connection will always be better than a wireless one.

  19. Re:Alpine on Best Linux Distribution (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 1

    Very nice explanation, thanks for taking the time to write that out.

  20. That's what I use and it hasn't failed me yet.

  21. Re:This may change quickly on Do More People Use Firefox Than Edge and IE Combined? (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    when did they push out that extension? I checked my work machines and home machines and didn't find the extension on any of them.

  22. Re:Most people aren't that interested on Disney Is Lone Holdout From Apple's Plan to Sell 4K Movies for $20 (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I bet if they brought the price of a movie down to $10 they would see a huge increase in sales.

  23. Re:Still a standalone application. Humf. on Inside Mozilla's Fight To Make Firefox Relevant Again (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Slurping data is one of the big reasons I don't like using chrome. Firefox should really push internet anonymity and privacy, that would be a big reason to use their product.

  24. Re:I find this thoroughly unsurprising on Despite Well Known Risks, Survey Finds Most People Use Smartphones While Driving (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why it takes so much longer to get through an intersection. I wish I had a dollar for every green light I missed because one of the morons in front of me wanted to play around with their phone and took forever to notice the light changed.

  25. I have a decent internet connection and I still buy physical.
