  1. I've noticed length of active window time on... on Facebook Wants To Spy On People Using Their Phone's Camera and Analyze Facial Emotions (thesun.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    ... an subject or person will cause said person/subject to appear more or less. I bet they track mouse actions as well. Facebook will be able to predict how you feel about most subjects to a pretty high percentage very soon... if not already

  2. Just because you can memorize a test bank on Tech-Savvy Workers Increasingly Common in Non-IT Roles (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    doesn't mean you understand the material. Unless certs have changed all of a sudden...

  3. Right... kill the 100 dollar bill, but keep pumpin on It's Time To Kill the $100 Bill, Says Larry Summers · · Score: 1

    out those pennies... I mean why not - they only cost 50% more than what they're worth to produce. -logic.

  4. Open Broadcaster Software is a great free one on Windows 10 Will Have Screen Recording Tool · · Score: 3, Informative

    Works for everything... a little complex, but it has tons of features and you can customize it quite a bit for your needs.

  5. A lot of cali residents don't care much about nuke on Philae's Lost Seven Months Were Completely Unnecessary · · Score: 1

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?... I know he's a troll and it's highly edited, but it is relevant.

    simple.

  9. A Pandemic?? on Giant Asian Gerbils May Have Caused the Black Death · · Score: 1

    I bet guinea pigs would blame the gerbils... makes perfect sense. There was a lack of flutes in Europe at the time.

  10. Re:Feminist troll bait on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 1

    heh... coming back to this days after the fact, I got a laugh out of reading it... It read in my mind like a starship enterprise critical warning. Honestly, I don't care about feminist or manginas... #MTGOW

  11. Don't approach aspergers/autism as negative... on Autism: Are Social Skills Groups and Social Communication Therapy Worthwhile? · · Score: 1

    As we all know, some very intelligent people have aspergers or have been on the autism spectrum.

    As one of these people, I would have liked to tell my parents to let me do what I wanted to do, and nurture the skills that I had. They fought my aspergers/add/whatever with medications. Horrible years of my life, those...

    Are you or his mother musically inclined? Go buy him a 100 dollar guitar. Show him some videos on youtube. Does he like to take things apart? Take him to somewhere that used to be like radio shack. Start building something on your own and see if he jumps in. He might be a very skilled carpenter, but you will never know these things unless you provide the climate for where he can flourish.

  13. Feminist troll bait on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm not quite sure why a video has just auto-played on slashdot, but the tone of her voice made me shut it off immediately. Sorry miss. You might have a fancy degree, but you're 23, maybe 24 years old, with little to no real world experience.

    Something something causation != correlation.

    Wait a second - what is a "VP of customer success?" It doesn't matter... She's the only person out of 8 "leadership" roles that has a vageen.

    *DISCLAIMER! I do not hate women - just know it all bitches. Yes, I said it. Wanna fight about it?

  14. People are fixated on vaccines ignore "The Joker" on New Jersey Gov. Christie: Parents Should Have Choice In Vaccinations · · Score: 1

    what better time to give them "mercury" or whatever through a different means? Shampoo... makeup? Watch the 1989 Batman for the obvious, or...

    spoiler (which shouldn't be a spoiler for *any* /. reader) - the joker uses combinations of makeup, deodorant, shampoos, etc to combine and make his "Smiley" condition which renders the subject hilariously dead. Oh that smile!

  15. Need a fake gold coin? on Alibaba Face Off With Chinese Regulator Over Fake Products · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Alibaba has them. And even some great copies of NGC and PCGS slabbed coins.

  16. wearing out of thumbstick and.... on The Fixes Sony's DualShock 4 Controller Still Needs · · Score: 1

    So my friend has one... He wears down the exact same spot on all his controllers... left thumbstick at 7'oclock. He's just pressing too hard.

    However, I am very gentle and precise with mine, and they have suited me well. *HOWEVER* the right thumbstick, when pressed in, is starting to flake out. If I press it to run, a lot of force is needed, or else I will stop running. So that controller is basically useless now.

    And of course, I have to say that as for right now, the touchpad is absolutely useless.

  17. Big "DUH of the year award" here.... on Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court He Worked To Block Competitors · · Score: 1

    I got an iPod shuffle.... I think, in 2005 for a girlfriend. I went to set it up for her, plugged it into my computer. It proceeded to rename a good 200 albums or so into 8character.ext filenames. I've never touched an apple product since.

  18. Why 90 FPS? on Getting 'Showdown' To 90 FPS In UE4 On Oculus Rift · · Score: 1, Funny

    Because otherwise you'd see the 1 frame marketing ads.

  19. Re:I get it.. but I won't get it on Is LG's New Ultra Widescreen Display Better Than "Normal" 4K? · · Score: 1

    I guess i'm missing the money to purchase something that I can do without! ;-)

  20. I get it.. but I won't get it on Is LG's New Ultra Widescreen Display Better Than "Normal" 4K? · · Score: 1

    So yea... I get the whole "more resolution captain!" Absolutely. Every day all day. But I use a 27" monitor that only does 1920x1200... "Only." That's plenty for work and pleasure - i'm playing the new wolfenstien at that resolution, and its beautiful.

    However, I would love some ultra widescreen for more real estate. To me, 4k is just too faddish, and thus too expensive for the poor nerds amongst us to justify purchasing.

  21. Enemy of the state... 1998... on The NSA Is Recording Every Cell Phone Call In the Bahamas · · Score: 1

    And look where we are now. Insanity...

  22. While most will think of changing the subject on Skilled Manual Labor Critical To US STEM Dominance · · Score: 1

    I have one question - how in demand will these jobs be 10 years from now? 10 years after that?

    Seems to me as the populations becomes more dependent on others, being a welders, pipe-fitters, electricians, carpenters, machinists and other skilled tradesmen will pay off. But at what point do we become like mexicans *in mexico* who know how to fix everything they need to live? Broken pipe? Dig it up and fix it. Broken car? Take it apart as least as much as possible and fix it. Need to build an extra room or two on your house? Pick up a hammer and some supplies and get to work.

    I wish I weren't disabled - someone asked me the other day what is my dream job - living off the land with a few farm animals and growing crops for a family.

  25. This will pull undecided votes on RNC Calls For Halt To Unconstitutional Surveillance · · Score: 1

    no doubt about it. If you voted for obama, and are now in the middle because you pay attention to what's really going on behind big media, you're probably going to be really ready for what the other party has to offer. Especially when you hear on all news sites about how we're turning into a police state silently but surely.
