  1. I was against on Lawyers Faced With Emojis and Emoticons Are All \_("/)_/ (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I was against replacing text and speech with pictograms before, but now that I know that lawyers hate them, I love emojis!

  2. Re:Let's watch on Jack White Bans Cellphones At Concerts For '100% Human Experience' (nme.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd be lying if I said I haven't watched some myself.

  3. Let's watch on Jack White Bans Cellphones At Concerts For '100% Human Experience' (nme.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    "Let's watch my recording of the concert I went to!"
    -Nobody ever

  4. Re:Quitting to Advance the Cause on San Jose Mayor Quits FCC Advisory Committee, Says It is Dealing ISPs a 'Very Favorable Hand' (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Right, and now he won't go down in history as a guy that helped the FCC fuck over Americans.

  5. Damn, I didn't know the guy from Ministry was into computer science!

  6. Re:Learn from Australia on What a Government Shutdown Will Mean For NASA and SpaceX (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is true, and the solution to this problem is available, it's just not as widely known as it should be. Tell everyone you know about One Subject At A Time Act!

  7. Re:But is it right to do this? on Ask Slashdot: Has Technology Created A Monster? (codinghorror.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right, people must keep their jobs at all costs. Just imagine what the world would be like today if we had replaced human calculators with those newfangled computers!

  8. Re:charge the authors with theft on Chrome Extension with 100,000 Users Caught Pushing Cryptocurrency Miner (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    This is Tumblr we're talking about, I think you meant to say "charge the authors with rape".

  9. Re:Amazon vs YouTube on Amazon's YouTube App on Fire TV Stops Working Ahead of Schedule (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself (and the sheeple)! My hardware (a NUC running Debian) still plays exactly what I tell it to! I was right to not rely on proprietary hardware and software!

  10. I don't think Firefox is vulnerable to this because it requires you to click in the field to fill your credentials first.

  11. Re:This is like those UFO "documentaries" on Netfl on UFO Existence 'Proven Beyond Reasonable Doubt', Says Former Head of Pentagon Alien Program (newsweek.com) · · Score: 1

    The one that intrigues me the most is the ex-military guy that said he watched a warhead get launched into space. As the rocket ascended, he witnessed a small object quickly fly around the tip of the missile, shining a beam of light at the tip from a few different angles. The missile was rendered inert. This thing moved very quickly and precisely like a drone might, except it was moving at speed relative to the rocket and it happened in the pre-drone era. This little documentary I watched supposes that there are extra-terrestrials that are concerned about us sending weapons into space. I'm not sure if what I described above was from this launch or another, but they claimed that the US attempted to detonate a nuke on the moon in a show of force to the Russians during the cold war. a UFO intercepted and disabled the missile en-route.

    Here's the "documentary" I mentioned: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... and https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  12. This is how on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Avoid 'Information Overload' (wikipedia.org) · · Score: 1

    I do it by skipping fluff stories such as this thing. Unless of course, I have something snarky and not constructive to add.

  13. Huh that's really interesting, I didn't realize it worked that way. I hope somebody mods you up.

  14. "It just works..." It just works the way Apple tells it to. Oh you'd rather have a shorter battery life because you want the increased battery life? Tough shit, Apple already made that decision for you.

  15. Will they be taking business risks or just more risks with my security?

  16. Re:Texting, the new smoking on France To Ban Mobile Phones In Schools (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would phones make kids shit more? Ohhhh you meant empty toilet stalls.

  17. I can't wait to decline this over and over in my phone's Youtube app!

  18. Re:Application of FOIA Seems Odd on 'Nature' Editorial Juxtaposes FOIA Email Release With Illegal Hacking (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I can't believe that it's so common now that there's an abbreviation for gay old pedophiles.

  19. Concern on San Francisco To Restrict Goods Delivery Robots (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They're concerned about pedestrians? That's an even better reason to allow robots! Tell me, have you *ever* seen a UPS truck legally parked or stopped? Have you ever seen one obey the speed limit in residential areas? That shit is the real danger, people let their feelings get the best of them when there isn't a single person to blame and sue when something goes wrong.

  20. You mean the people that can't figure out how to pirate?

  21. Javascript already keeps me away on Prepare for the New Paywall Era (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I bail on websites that don't work after allowing 2-3 javascript domains. Do they really think erecting another barrier is going to keep me on their site and make get out my credit card? What a joke!

  22. There's this really cool new browser that has both of those features on Android, you should try it. It's got kind of a funny name though, I don't know if it'll ever get popular. It's called "Firefox".

  23. Re:Thanks for the DRM on Tim Berners-Lee on the Future of the Web: 'The System is Failing' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The internet is like Las Vegas. It used to be a lot more fun and seedy, but now corporations have taken over and made it attractive to middle Americans and kid-friendly. People that miss the excitement of old know to look somewhere else, just like the internet today.

  24. Re:Read the EULA on 'Starcraft II' Goes Free-to-Play on Tuesday (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3

    That's pretty much how any modern game's anti-cheat works.

  25. Re:Lots of Problems With That Statement on Google Working To Remove MINIX-Based ME From Intel Platforms (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    What Tivo did is find and exploit a bug in the GPL 2 which was fixed in the next version to prevent that exploit.
