  1. Re:Nothing like fudging the number on Netflix Replacing Star Ratings With Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    I plan to simply give anything I would have rated 1-3 stars a thumbs down, and only give something I rated 4 or 5 stars a thumbs up. If they would to adjust the narrative, so will I.

  2. Re:Of course it's a Unix shell.. on Python/Unix Hybrid Demoed at PyCon (xon.sh) · · Score: 2

    I'm still waiting for my Command Line Arguments and Management shell.

  3. I also have the 2015 MacBook Pro (13"), and I've never had any of the thermal issues you're describing.

  4. Re:There's no debate on What the GNOME Desktop Gets Right and KDE Gets Wrong · · Score: 1

    I agree, though sadly I'm not happy with either KDE or Gnome (or even XFCE) recently. Hence why I'm typing this post on Mac OS X Yosemite. I've been using Linux for almost two decades now (I'm running OS X on one laptop, Mint on the other), and while the desktop situation has improved, the Linux desktop as a whole has always felt stuck in a two steps forward, one step back routine.

  5. Re:What really is happening? on Measuring How Much "Standby Mode" Electricity For Game Consoles Will Cost You · · Score: 2

    I'm pretty certain the linked article's numbers are simply wrong.

  6. Re:Who wants to bet they shit crude oil? on Methane-Based Life Possible On Titan · · Score: 1

    Why are they bothering with Titan? Everyone know's there's plenty of of methane to be found in Uranus.

  7. Re:Can they do it with corporate code? on Anonymous No More: Your Coding Style Can Give You Away · · Score: 1

    It's not just limited by corporate code. Good luck doing this on pep8 Python.

  8. Re:the good old days... on Parents Investigated For Neglect For Letting Kids Walk Home Alone · · Score: 1

    Fellow Virginian here (hello from Buchanan Co!), and it was much the same for me. Many, many days were spent exploring the mountains behind our house, and we even had this really fantastic vine swing that we used to swing back and forth across the stream that ran down the mountain. We would've been around 10 years old ourselves, and while our parents knew where we were and we were expected to check in regularly, I can't imagine being told that we weren't allowed to do something as simple as walk home from the store (which we also did on many occasions, but that was closer to two miles than one).

  9. Re:Developing Story on AirAsia Flight Goes Missing Between Indonesia and Singapore · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Why is this on Slashdot? It isn't even remotely news for nerds, nor is it stuff that matters. If I want to read about this sort of thing I'll go over to BBC.

  10. Re:Why have we not solved this? on Window Washing a Skyscraper Is Beyond a Robot's Reach · · Score: 1

    I don't think self-cleaning windows are truly viable at this point in time, but is there any reason to not have windows that simply rotate 180 degrees so that they can be cleaned from the inside?

  11. Re:Who? on Users Can't Distinguish Scams From Facebook's Features · · Score: 2

    Who are these Facebooks and why are they on my internets?

    I'm not entirely sure, but one of them just pooped on your lawn and then told five of his friends about it.

  12. Re:Boys are naturally curious... on Solving the Mystery of Declining Female CS Enrollment · · Score: 1

    I would say it's not so much feminist theory as it is the simple fact is that we don't know how much culture and stereotypes are skewing the actual data. In my CS classes, the ratio of men to women was something like 8 to 1, and a disproportiate amount of the latter were Asian-American.

  13. Re:The point? on Simple Hack Enables VR Mode For Oculus Rift In Alien: Isolation · · Score: 1

    Who says it always works flawlessly? have they played through the entire game several times? maybe there is crash code or places where you can literally get stuck in a wall.

    Very unlikely. Most Oculus integration is little more than a camera mod; it isn't going to integrate to the point where it can cause the types of issues you're describing.

  14. Re:Lon term stability? on KDevelop 4.7.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I'm more interested in whether or not they've fixed the long term usability rather than stability. The last time I tried KDevelop, it didn't even come with built- in templates for C.

  15. Re:Whenever I read stuff like this on U.S. Threatened Massive Fine To Force Yahoo To Release Data · · Score: 2

    It changed it because the 9/11 attacks targets the two pillars of American power: the banks and the government. It scared them shitless that may actual be attacked (oh, wow, apparently they have a much different reaction when it's not other people they're sending to die). At which point they said screw everything in order to give themselves the illusion of their old safety.

  16. Re:Been there, done that. on China Targets 2022 For Space Station Completion · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They've tried, repeatedly, only to be blocked by US objections each time.

    Their own station would probably be more worthwhile anyway - I can't name a single major achievement the ISS had made in the past decade.

  17. Re:unfair policy on Study: Antarctic Sea-Level Rising Faster Than Global Rate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's getting its compensation.....an Arctic Ice Cap that has expanded by 41% in the past 2 years. Most ice up there since 2006. Ironically, not reported here....
    I guess anything goes to advance the global warming scam.

    Good luck with that.

  19. Re:Who has the market share? on Windows XP Falls Below 25% Market Share, Windows 8 Drops Slightly · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What world do you live in where only kids play video games?

  20. Re:They lost their market on Nintendo Posts Yet Another Loss, Despite Mario Kart 8 · · Score: 1

    It's really sad to see people holding out for the same titles that defined the last two generations. There are already great original titles for the Wii U - ZombiU and Wonderful101 immediately come to mind. Plus, for me personally, the backwards compatibility is a godsend for those of us who skipped the original Wii.

    A small library of original but great titles. Established franchise entries like DK Tropical Freeze, NSMBU, and Mario Kart 8. A fantastic lineup coming down the pipe. Virtual console to scratch that retro itch. Backwards compatibility to hundreds of Wii titles. If the above isn't enough reason to grab a Wii U, one game isn't going to make a difference. Smash Bros isn't *that* good of a game to sell a system by itself.

  21. Re:They should stop making consoles on Nintendo Posts Yet Another Loss, Despite Mario Kart 8 · · Score: 2

    There's no reason to try to keep up with the PS and Xbox. They're underpowered PCs. Nintendo at the very least is trying to enable experiences that can't be had on other mediums.

  22. Flat UI Design on Mac OS X Yosemite Beta Opens · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Am I the only person who hates the flat UI style that Microsoft, Google, and Apple have all adopted? I hated it being shoved onto my iPhone, and now it looks like the same nonsense it coming to OSX.

  23. Re:There's another treatment that stops most T2 on New Treatment Stops Type II Diabetes · · Score: 1

    As the parent and others have mentioned, healthy food when cooked right is positively delicious. The real issue is that it does take considerably more planning and preparation time than a pizza that you can just throw in the over for 15 minutes or other preprocessed food that require minimal prep time by the people who are actually eating it.

    I'm happy to see that my laser upgrades have helped to greatly facilitate the mating process. Onwards to step 2!
