  1. Re:Guess who won't be using Spotify? on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I have the same opinion about paid services. If I pay, then I want no ads at all, but if I choose a free service over the paid one I will put up with ads. And that is what this whole ToS change from them is about, people on the free service listening to ads and banning people who block them.

  2. Re:Guess who won't be using Spotify? on Spotify Bans Ad Blockers In Updated ToS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, almost half of their subscribers are paid (and they are the real target of the service) and are not going to leave because of this change in the ToS. The ad supported option only exists to advertise the paid service as I believe they lose money on the free subscribers even with the few ads they play. So, if you are blocking their ads, they really don't want you anyway, something about them having to pay for each song they stream, and there is no chance you will start a paid subscription.

  3. Canadian meeting on Germany Refuses To Ban Huawei, Citing Lack of Real Evidence (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    Was the meeting in Canada a secret? Or was the lobster theme the secret? And also, what is a lobster themed meeting anyway?

    I think you meant Ghost in the Shell.

    My galaxy S7 is waterproof with an SD card.

  6. Re:That's easy, it would get a participation troph on Ask Slashdot: What Would Happen If a Hyperloop Train Failed? · · Score: 1

    The problem is that they are ONLY giving participation trophies. They do not give winner trophies because they don't want to make the people that suck feel bad for not being good at it.

  7. "AVERAGE SIZE" on Why Does Hollywood Remain Out of Step With the Body-Positive Movement? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I looked at 5 seconds of the trailer for that movie. I hope that lady is not average sized, or else this country is worse than I thought.

    Wow, blame Trump for something he opposes...you sound listen to yourself.
