  1. The first hit is free.

    You've had your first hit of Windows 10 now.

  2. Re:Follow the Leader on PSA: Microsoft Is Using Cortana To Read Your Private Skype Conversations (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Two wrongs don't make a right. I hate Apple too.

  3. I just wouldn't be interested. I actively try to multiply the amount of data I'm providing to Google and others with the way I create and configure logins and use software, because it pays multiples and dividends in productivity and convenience.

    So basically what you're saying it: nothing to hide, nothing to fear?

    I'll just remind people that the UK home secretary recently talked about locking people up for 15 years for listening to "far right propaganda". Who gets to define what that is? The government.

  4. Anyone got a link to the video that works?

  5. Re:Stupid Topic on Code is Too Hard To Think About (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    If anyone thinks that a true software engineer just sits down, starts slamming on some keys and then says "Oh well, I wrote code, let's see how the throttle handles it", then they don't understand software development or software engineering.

    Shit, looks like I've been doing it wrong all these years. :-)

  6. Re:How is there "net neutrality" now? on Steve Wozniak: Net Neutrality Rollback 'Will End the Internet As We Know It' (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    I notice you conspicuously ignored the "domains registrations being seized" part of the post. Why would that be?

  7. How does it feel, liberals? on Steve Wozniak: Net Neutrality Rollback 'Will End the Internet As We Know It' (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    How does it feel to have big companies refusing to transmit your bits because they don't like the content? Maybe you're getting a feeling of what the alt right has to put up with now. Don't worry though - they are private companies and they can do what they like. It's not the same as government censorship.

  8. Re:THe price of rubber bands is likely to go up on Australia Finally Creates Its Own National Space Agency (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    No mate just breed the highest jumping kangaroos together, soon enough they'll be jumping into orbit!

  9. Cure for HIV??? on New Antibody Attacks 99% of HIV Strains (bbc.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If these guys cure HIV they must surely get the Nobel prize for medicine.

  10. Re:Define Massive on Americans Plan Massive 'Net Neutrality' Protest Next Week (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know right? If only Hillary had got in, I know she would be a much better defender of people's rights and net neutrality. She never caved into lobbying from big corporations.

  11. Does this apply to sounds played with the web audio API or just embedded videos?

  12. Re:Birds also crash into large glass walls on Why Bats Crash Into Windows (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't really understand this. Humans use light to figure out where glass is too, and we can tell. Why can't they?

  13. Re:Oh joy.... on Leaks Reveal New Features In Apple's Next iPhone · · Score: 1

    I always wanted to know what it would be like when poo frowned at me.

  14. Re:The only question now is... on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Why not? Because it's a total waste of manpower fixing something that never needed to be broken in the first place and rewarding the company that did it, rather than switching to phones by companies that didn't.

  15. The only question now is... on Hobbyist Gives iPhone 7 the Headphone Jack We've Always Wanted (engadget.com) · · Score: -1

    ... why?

  16. Re:I think we need more browser choices on AskSlashdot: How Do You See Your Life After Firefox 52 ESR? (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    The Mozilla codebase has proven difficult to maintain - see Pale Moon. So just forking it is problematic.

    What's your point? Pale Moon is maintaining the codebase, and it's one fucking guy.

  17. They're just giving people a helping hand... on Twitter is Just Randomly Deleting People's Lists -- and No One Knows Why (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... to move over to Gab. They've seen the writing on the wall.

  18. Re:Mozilla has spent almost 10 years... on TechRepublic: Mozilla 'Is Desperately Needed to Save the Web' (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If WebExtensions APIs to support your pet add-on are missing, then get involved and add them.

    Why the hell should we? Mozilla ignored what their users wanted and scrapped an extensions architecture that worked fine. Now you want us to reward them by putting work in to port stuff over? Hell no.

  19. Re:"Unresponsive Leadership" on Node.js Forked Again Over Complaints of Unresponsive Leadership (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    They are going to make the best version of Node.js ever with unicorn farts and good fefees, you insensitive clod!

  20. Re: Memories? on What Happened To Winamp? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Milkdrop just seems to be a bunch of randomly-generated visualizations that don't have anything to do with the music playing - am I missing something? I never really understood it.

  21. Re:While these guys are nutters.. on Cloudflare Stops Supporting Neo-Nazi Site The Daily Stormer (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, do you guys actually listen to yourselves talking? It really depresses me to hear Americans talk like this.

    The whole point is that you guys are NOT Germany. That there is a marketplace of ideas and everyone gets to speak. And that the spirit of this - the SPIRIT - should be supported by the population. Not just the law of the government not shutting people down, but the spirit of free speech as in people get to have equal access to a platform that gives them a fair shake.

    How would you feel if right wingers were in charge and were celebrating all major companies de-platforming anyone with an LGBT rights agenda? Can't you see how utterly hypocritical it is?

  22. Re:Responses from President Trump on North Korea Now Making Missile-Ready Nuclear Weapons, US Analysts Say (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    What the hell is he meant to do? This is an insane regime building nuclear fucking bombs. Do you want to wait for it to drop some on South Korea, Japan, and California? Well, maybe California...

  23. Screw WoSign on Microsoft Dumps Notorious Chinese Secure Certificate Vendor (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I used StartCom's free certs for years with no problem. First I hear of WoSign it's that they bought out StartCom and ruined it. It's a real shame, and Let's Encrypt is no alternative. I'd rather pay for a year cert than put up with a few months.

  24. Re:And then Google says... on Google Fires Author of Divisive Memo On Gender Differences (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Anti-feminists are not a protected class.

    Not if they're white, anyway.

  25. They have been Muslims for centuries and before the formation of the PRC were semi autonomous.

    White Americans are constantly told they are not "natives" because they've only been in America for a few hundred years.
