  1. Re:If the game's so bad that it deserves an apolog on Ubisoft Apologizes For Assassin's Creed · · Score: 1

    Let's for one second imagine the game wasn't filled with bugs, the game is still fucking horrible.
    They went backwards. The game is boring as hell, story bland, nothing new of value added to gameplay, they managed to make combat worse that previous iterations.

    That review is either a massive fan boy or paid for.

    If you think that's bad, don't look at what Facebook Messenger wants access to.

  3. Re:THIS is the kind of thing that GamerGate is abo on Assassin's Creed: Unity Launch Debacle Pulls Spotlight Onto Game Review Embargos · · Score: 1

    Especially on PC.

    I haven't had many issues with Ubisoft's games on console to be honest, but every single Ubisoft game I've tried on PC, was extremely bug ridden one way or the other.

    They want selective equality.

    Fully Qualified Domain Name.
    A lot of people leave their servers with default hostname and that is usually going to cause issues with mail if you don't manually configure it.

  6. Re:Denmarks reliance on "green" taxes on Denmark Faces a Tricky Transition To 100 Percent Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    Was about to post about exactly this.
    I live in Denmark and my father wanted to install solar power a few years ago.

    He quickly found out that's a very bad idea, since the costs to the government would be significant.

    They tax you on the generated power output, and require you to sell excess to the local power company, which they naturally also take income tax on.

    They say they want us to go green, but yet they tax the hell out of it.

  7. Re:It's not THAT random on Why Do Contextual Ads Fail? · · Score: 1

    Even Amazon, who knows what you purchase, sends advertisement about products you've already purchased.
    One would think they'd check such a thing.

    According to numerous articles on a quick Google search, it seems to be true that they defecate according to magnetic alignment.

    I wonder what would happen if you don't allow a dog to poop.

    I really don't think it matters if you try to disallow to face correctly, than trying to disallow it to poop in general.

  11. Dogs as compass on 'Why Banana Skins Are Slippery' Wins IgNobel · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Other prizes were awarded for noting that dogs only defecate when aligned with north-south magnetic fields"

    So when you're lost in a forest, watch which way your dog is pointing when it poops.
    I'm sure I can market "Compass Dogs" as a new thing.

    It's a new thing called "fashion".

    Actually, I watch it despite her.
    She' highly overrated and her acting is barely mediocre.

    I like the show for the references and general "sciency" humour.

  16. Re:Is there any way to stop auto-play? on Facebook Blamed For Driving Up Cellphone Bills, But It's Not Alone · · Score: 1

    Actually, after learning about the ridiculous access privileges the Facebook app requires, I switched in a heartbeat and I know several people who did as well.
    And as a bonus, now chat works directly from Facebook, and doesn't require an App that have even more ridiculous access privileges requirement.

    I strongly encourage people to use Facebook directly from the browser and not from the App.

  17. Re:Is there any way to stop auto-play? on Facebook Blamed For Driving Up Cellphone Bills, But It's Not Alone · · Score: 1

    My Facebook app on my phone is still set to "off", so mine hasn't reset.

    But since OP mentioned 2 browsers, my instructions was for how to disable it in a browser, and not the mobile app.

    You can disable it you know.

    Settings -> Videos -> Auto-play Videos [off].

    I don't recognize your problem with the microUSB kabel falling out.
    Occasionally I hang mine (Kindle Paperwhite 2) in the charging cable at work, and it haven't fallen out yet.

    And doesn't most tablets support "holding down the power button" for hard reset, much like a power button on PC does?
    Both my iPad and Nexus does.
