  1. Re:Good then bad then good on Sugar-Free Products Might Actually Stop Us From Getting Slimmer (dw.com) · · Score: 1

    And it was always a questionable ingredient, despite an overwhelming amount of sponsored research claiming that it's all ok.

    Just like sugar back in the days.

    Different day, different ingredient.

  2. Re:need a new word on Blizzard Launches A Professional Sports League For 'Overwatch' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    You're right, which is why it's not called "sports", it's called "e-sports".

  3. Anti-aliasing on Mark Cerny, Chief PlayStation Architect, Explains the PS4 Pro (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Does this mean we can finally get decent AA filtering on PS4?
    I don't care about 4K, I'd be fine with 1080p if the PS4 could do decent AA.

    The jagged edges are horrible on PS4. What good is it that it looks pretty if everything has jagged edges? Immediately throws me off.

    If the current library is improved with new hardware, I might buy one.
    But I suspect it won't make a difference with AA on current titles without a game update.

  4. Re:Y'all know what you need to do on More Unblocking Companies Give Up Their Fight Against Netflix (techspot.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And what do you expect them to do?

    It's not Netflix' choice, it's their content providers requiring them to do this.

  5. Re:K for what, now? on KDE Turns 20, Happy Birthday! (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    According to Wikipedia, you are correct.
    It was suggested to stand for "kool" but was decided it shouldn't stand for anything.

    Doesn't Apple get license fee for this adapter?

  7. Re:This should be the death of Capcom on Street Fighter V Update Installed Hidden Rootkits on PCs (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You mean like Windows Update just installed several applications on my PC without my prior acceptance?

      - Google Earth
      - Xbox (?)

  8. Re:Blue ray vs HD DVD anyone? on 4K UHD TVs Are Being Adopted Faster Than HDTVs (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    There are numerous examples of products and brands being spelled alternatively.

    Are you refusing to accept those as well?

    We need to BAN all types of vehicles, they are widely used by Terrorists!
    We want to avoid another Nice, we need to address this on a global level.

    In fact, replace "vehicles" with just about anything. Phones. Terrorists use those too. A lot.

    Play the original then; Ingress.

    Pokemon Go is basically a reskinned Ingress.

  13. Re:Sony is also False Flagging No Man Sky videos on Chased Off of YouTube, Leaked 'No Man's Sky' Footage Runs to Pornhub (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Sony is more than just distributing the game, they had NMS stands at E3, was it 2 or 3 years in a row?
    Sony is responsible for hyping the game as a $60 AAA title when it's just a small indie game.

  14. They don't want people to see the game is actually an empty shell, full of broken promises.
    Can't have people cancelling their pre-orders.

    Developer previously stated numerous times that it would take "hundreds of hours" to reach the "center of the galaxy (he misspoke and said Universe earlier...)".
    This guy did it in less than 40.

    Oh and he didn't die a single time during those 40 hours. So much for "surviving a harsh universe".
    That's just the tip of the iceberg.

    But then again, what we are seeing is a Gold edition, they've already submitted 20-something patches on Steam that this guy obviously don't have. He could be missing a lot of stuff that's not activated yet. At least, that's what people on the subreddit is hoping and telling themselves.

  15. Metal cardholder on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Keep Your Credit Card Secure? · · Score: 1

    I've got all my cards in a metal cardholder. I don't have a wallet, so this cardholder contains my every day cards and identification.

  16. Re:Headphone Jack is Pretty Crappy on Phones Without Headphone Jacks Are Here... and They're Extremely Annoying (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't baggy pants prevent the phone from cracking in the back pocket? Tight jeans will stress the screen a lot more.

    And the lack of belt would have the added benefit that the back pocket is lower, thus not sitting on it when sitting down.

    It seems to me baggy pants is actually good for having your phone in the back pocket.

    But alas, I suspect you weren't trying to be funny at all.

    It's not the missing HDMI, it's the missing HDCP capability.
    HDCP is supported by DVI, DP and HDMI, so it's just your monitor that doesn't have HDCP.

    Several of the custom boards for 1070/1080 comes with a fan that turns off when not under high load.

  20. Re:Which is recommended for Linux gaming? on NVIDIA Announces GeForce GTX 1060, Fierce Competition For the Radeon RX 480 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    This is exactly why I went with a nVidia when upgrading this generation, I've had a lot of issues with my AMD on Linux.

    I have a dual boot, so I mainly game in Windows, but only because I'm lacking the option to run the game in Linux.
    Those I can run in Linux, I do. But the Radeon drivers are really giving me problems and I've tried a few.

  21. Allow us to run dedicated servers and moderate them our self, like in the old days.

    Then cheating software will be less effective for the general public as active servers will moderate them self and the players will be less bothered by them.

    If a game is riddled with cheaters, I won't recommend it to my friends.

    Rampant cheating has brought many rather good games to be ghost towns.
