Good for them. I want a unicorn, and I'm not going to get that either.

Windows: Not Doomed Yet

Yeah, Windows is dying. Just like this is the year that Linux takes over on the desktop. Or is this the year that Apple takes over? Or CP/M makes it comeback? OS/2? I forget, I've heard them all so often.
Not only will I not submit my sets for recall, I intend to buy more than the 6 sets I already have. If you're so fucking stupid that eat magnets, that's not my problem. And likewise, if you're too stupid to educate or protect your children, that's not my problem either.
It doesn't matter that their articles are completely illegible because none of them are real. This is the one day a year where Slashdot readers will be the very last to know about any real "news for nerds, stuff that matters". Slashdot is the only major geek news site that goes so overboard with it.
Yes it is the one I want to depend on, and in fact do depend on. Because Lexar 1000x CF cards are the fastest cards out there in both read and write speeds. And that's by my actual experience and testing*, and not their advertising. I don't give a rat's ass what their PR department does.
*I shoot high school gymnastics with a Canon 7D. It is not unusual for me to shoot 4000 or more shots during a 2 hour event.
I think we should put a special tax on people who assume that everyone lives in a big city like they do, and has access to a public transportation system. 20% of their gross income would be a good start.
Why not buy a device that does what you want, and there by support the manufacturer of a more open device so maybe they'll keep doing it, like a Nexus? Instead you'd rather give money to the maker of a closed system, which encourages them to keep it closed since everyone buys their crap anyway, and then you spend your time making it sort of do what you wanted in the first place.
I'll be ignoring the law, unlocking any damned phone I buy (I buy them on eBay or Craig's List, not on contract), and any division of government or commercial cellular entity that doesn't like it can lick the sweat off my balls.
I'll watch the channel, assuming Concast (and no, I didn't accidentally misspell it) will carry it. Al Jazeera can't possibly be any more biased than Fox, CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC, etc.
But I find the fact that Tolkien has been dead just shy of 40 years but we're still dealing with rights on his work to be even more repulsive.
I can understand why his estate works so hard to protect the rights. If they didn't have them, they'd have to get real jobs instead of leaching off of an ancestor.
Take off your MPAA controlled glasses. Nothing in that quote says they are going to necessarily download it illegally. And Amazon does do individual downloads, sometimes for free, and many movies for just a couple dollars.
Obviously you are totally unaware that there are legal and reliable sites that make movies available online. Let's start with Netflix and Amazon, two services you apparently don't know about.
If I bought it, I'll crack it or jailbreak it. If I want to play a DVD in my toaster oven, I will. And Congress, the Library of Congress, the President, the CIA, the FBI, the DHS, the RIAA, and the MPAA can all singly or collectively kiss my law breaking ass.
You can blame Fox and BuzzFeed all you want. But the simple and ultimate fact is they are only giving the people what they want to see. If there wasn't a demand for it, Fox wouldn't be broadcasting it and BuzzFeed wouldn't be posting it. In America, "if it bleeds, it leads".
As far as TV news in general goes, there hasn't been a decent newscast in America since Walter Cronkite retired. And yes, I'm that damned old:(
She did what she was accused of. She lied about it in a court room, to both a jury and a judge. She got caught in her lies. She got whacked for lying. And once again, all the fanbois come crying for her.
I'm saving my sympathy for someone who is innocent of what they were falsely accused of by the RIAA or MPAA. Not some dumb whore who was trying to game the system after she got caught with her hand in the cookie jar. Maybe her and Tenenbaum can start a new political party...they can call it the Itty Bitty Pity Party.
If he was innocent and had "fought the good fight", I would support Stupidbaum all I could. As it is, not only did he actually do what his accusers claimed, he lied about it in court. He got what he deserved. I bet next time he won't listen to relatives that obviously got their law degrees from a bubblegum machine.
One would think that geeks like those on Slashdot would support those unjustly prosecuted (and persecuted). Instead, they mostly back lying thieving guilty idiots like Stupidbaum and Jamie Dumbitch. And then the community cries and whines when the idiots get slammed by the court.
Hell will freeze over...multiple times...before anyone at the RNC votes any way other than how they are told to vote. And I'd say the same thing about the DNC also.
Its obvious from reading the comments on this story that a lot of you all think this means Ron Paul is in favor of a free and open internet, and has come out in favor of net neutrality. You all obviously don't know Ron Paul. For him, and his son, "internet freedom" means businesses on the internet are free to do as they please, capitalism rules, and net neutrality will die a quick death.

Induction charging, as it is now, is anything but cost effective and green. Its one of the most inefficient charging methods around.

Okay, yeah, a LotR slot machine may be repulsive.

The editors are correct. It very clearly says "extinct in the wild". "In the wild" does not include "in captivity".
If I bought it, I'll crack it or jailbreak it. If I want to play a DVD in my toaster oven, I will. And Congress, the Library of Congress, the President, the CIA, the FBI, the DHS, the RIAA, and the MPAA can all singly or collectively kiss my law breaking ass.
Holy shit! A company provides a service and expects you to pay for it!!! This is an outrage! I'm calling my Congressmen!!!
Obviously its a slow news day at Slashdot.
No matter who wins this debate, or the election, Americans have lost.

Look at the positive side...at least it isn't hanging around Uranus.
I'd just like to say that Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf's mother wears combat boots in the shower.
She did what she was accused of. She lied about it in a court room, to both a jury and a judge. She got caught in her lies. She got whacked for lying. And once again, all the fanbois come crying for her.

You can use your iPad when you are the pilot and are qualified to make flight-specific safety evaluations.
