  1. Re:The Theater Experience on James Cameron: Theater Experience Key To Containing Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you all live in Detroit or something? My local fleapit's nothing to write home about, but it sounds like Disneyland compared to y'alls.

    Slashdot deserves much better than this

    No it doesn't. This site has been a festering pile of shit (both technically and culturally) since before Taco sold it off.

  3. Dude, if you're whining over 5 bucks to get you that one non-F2P game in your library in order to enjoy full features, steam wasn't for you in the first place.

  4. I don't see how MS can just patch out Steam until it's too buggy to use, then shuffle in the windows store.

    This is exactly what they did with Netscape and IE back in the day, and that worked gangbusters.

    Really? That requires an explanation?

    Yeah it does. "Support" can mean a lot of things I saw not mentioned in his speech.

    The funny part is, out of all these replies, no one has managed to answer the question yet.

  6. A comment up top from a disgusted liberal says he's pro-life. Which one of you is wrong?

    he said that he supports LGBT in his speech last night...

    Supports them how?

    No it wouldn't, it would simply shift the definition of poverty.

    What a fucking useless argument. I'd rather be "poor" and be able to afford a modest house, than be poor and stuck in a slumlord's apartment.

    Fine, it would still be economically valid.

    Yeah, but keeping the required multi-billion dollar investment group together over several decades is like herding cats. Capitalists like fast returns, especially when the sums are this high.

  10. "Companies are forced to spend billions on this regulation"

    Well, not VW...

    If you're going to attempt to be a pedant on this site, might I suggest a couple of tips?

    First, keep it short.

    Second, don't forget to be right.

    Hope that helps.

  12. But it doesn't meet the exacting specifications of nerds, so therefore must be thrown out completely. 1 Billion users is irrelevant in this case.

  13. This is Slashdot, where you have to burnish your nerd badge with the blood of mindless tech sheep daily in order to maintain relevance.

    No doctor can review a medical file in one minute.

    I watched my doctor do exactly this with a real folder filled with paper just two weeks ago.

    Most doctors are pretty smart guys who've spent decades reading books, charts,etc. and otherwise learning to ingest large amounts of information in the quickest, most efficient manner they can.

    whereas farm grown meat can be grown in a pasture with relatively little assistance.

    Not at scale though.

    I find libertarians and their delusions extremely funny.

    You know, if you're gonna use a harmless off the cuff joke to launch part 5 of your RANT AGAINST SMOKE, you might want to take some time off from this site, it's a little much for you.

    You make it sound as though the POTUS is single-handedly capable of launching nukes.

    Nope, you're just reading too much into it. Wanna tackle the other 2 examples now?

    Not only does that make the state's actions worse, it does nothing to alleviate GPs lack of ability to pick a target.

    but at least it would shake things up

    This is cute and all, but when some of the things being shaken up include 4 of the top ten world economies, the biggest military, and a few thousand nukes, you can understand why people might think that sentiment makes you look like a dipshit.

    Turing should have been tried as a war criminal for violating the privacy of U-Boat crews. #revisionism

    I get the joke you're going for here, but considering what happened to Turing, it's pretty fucking tone deaf.

    Doubt it. They make you fill out paperwork if you sell too many items on the market. IRS has everything they need so far.
