  1. This sounded plausible... on OS/2 Warp Community Announces It's Merging With the Flat Earth Society (os2world.com) · · Score: 1

    ...for a moment.

  2. Re:Still better than that Spyware Win 10 on Windows 7 Enters Its Final Year of Free Support (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Windows 8.1 isn't terrible, especially when compared to Windows 10.

  3. Re:Notes is maliciously bad. on After 23 Years, IBM Sells Off Lotus Notes (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Well said, I have no points so I'm modding you up with my mind.

  4. Adobe Flash plugin update... on CoinMiners Use New Tricks To Impersonate Adobe Flash Installers (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    I've had two computers offer to update Adobe Flash over the past couple of weeks. Both had Firefox installed and I assumed that I had the Flash plugin installed and it needed updating (and maybe it did). I don't use Firefox on those computers anymore, so instead I uninstalled the Flash plugin and Firefox. Problem solved / catastrophe averted.

  5. No links? on AmigaOS 3.1.4 For Classic Amigas Released (hyperion-entertainment.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nice, but at the time of publication the slashdot article has no hyperlinks to downloads or release notes (or even to a goatse).

  6. "AMC Stubs A-List" $20 a month for 3 movies a week on MoviePass Is Limiting Selection To 'Up To Six Films' a Day (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    AMC Theatres has a new thing called "AMC Stubs A-List". For $20 a month (+ tax) you can watch 3 movies a week at any AMC theater. All formats (2D, 3D, Imax), showtimes, and movie selections are included, and your watch list resets every Friday morning. Special event movies aren't included. I signed up 2 weeks ago and watched 2 movies each week (4 so far) so the plan has already paid for itself this month. https://www.amctheatres.com/

  7. CH Products Flightstick Pro... on 'Descent' Creators Reunite For a New Game Called 'Overload' (steampowered.com) · · Score: 1

    This game was so awesome and we would play multiplayer with 4 or so people. I bought a CH Products Flightstick Pro for this game, the 8-way hat and throttle controllers were game changers. My best friend was so pissed that I could fly circles around him!

  8. Re:Cold Turkey on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Good Alternative to Facebook? (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Or, never get hooked in the first place. That's what I did (or didn't) do.

  10. We're halfway to ManBearPig! on Scientists Use Stem Cells To Grow Animal-Free Pork In a Lab (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Welcome him.

  11. Re:Microsoft is relentless in being obnoxious late on Annoying 'Open PDF In Edge' Default Option Puts Windows 10 Users At Risk (softpedia.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It could be worse, they could flag your preferred program as incompatible and helpfully uninstall it for you.

  12. When everything is automated... on Hostess Saves Twinkies By Automating, Fires 94% Of Their Workforce (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    When everything is automated, who will be able to afford Twinkies, or Big Macs, or any of this "cheap" food that low income wage earners currently purchase?

  13. Re:Robots on Hyundai's New 'Wearable Robot' Gives You Super-Strength (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Because the employer can go play with his super cool wearable robot after hours when no one else is looking?

    I want one!

  14. Re: With 32 gig usb sticks so cheap ... on Ubuntu Quietly Raises Install Image Size to 2GB (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure if you were replying to me or not, but there is no negative to using 4GB max file on FAT32 on either Windows on Linux. You can shove our sore loser crap up your @$$.

  15. Re:With 32 gig usb sticks so cheap ... on Ubuntu Quietly Raises Install Image Size to 2GB (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 3, Informative

    FAT32 max file size is 4GB.

  16. Re:I Miss Real Keyboards on HP Says It Made the World's Thinnest Laptop (time.com) · · Score: 1

    I had used other computers before, but the first one that I owned was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A. It was mind blowing.

  17. Re:He intentially swam into it they claim on Scuba Diver Survives Being Sucked Into Nuclear Plant (nydailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    They might not be able to put a grill over the pipe. It could get clogged and cut off the flow of coolant to the nuclear plant.

  18. It's true, just ask Mr. Kinney on New Report Cites Dangers of Autonomous Weapons · · Score: 1
  19. Hurd probably does make make laugh!

  20. Re:If data over wireless wasn't so expensive on Apple Faces Class Action Lawsuit Over iOS Wi-Fi Assist (appleinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that (s)he was trolling. I really hope that (s)he was trolling.

  21. Maybe the rocket doesn't work? on Vostochny Launch Building Built To the Wrong Size · · Score: 1

    Could be that Russia is doing a bit of CYA while they figure out technical difficulties with the rocket, so they just say "It doesn't fit" for now?

  22. HAHA as if GM and Ford even belong on that list. They make cars. If you get 100k miles out of them, you're pretty fortunate. That's about all you can say.

    You are full of crap, both Ford and GM make nice vehicles.

  23. VR? on Enormous Red Sprites Seen From Space · · Score: 1

    Is this proof that our reality is virtual?
