  1. Independent News Wins!! on Pirate Party Founder Rick Falkvinge Launches News Service · · Score: 0

    Nice to see another news outlet that isn't corrupted by ad dollars.

  2. One racing tech at a time, please on Drone Racing Poised To Go Mainstream · · Score: 1

    Let's get Formula E working right before we move to the next step, shall we?

    I'll start: get rid of Fan Boost.

  3. Easier than in RDR on Soft Robot Tentacle Can Lasso an Ant Without Harming It · · Score: 1

    I guess it's easier than lassoing wild horses in Red Dead Redemption. I still haven't managed to catch the American Standardbread or the white one with black face.

  4. Immortan Joe on Man With the "Golden Arm" Has Saved Lives of 2 Million Babies · · Score: 2

    Don't let him know about this guy.

  5. Re:Apple Music - too expensive on WWDC 2015 Roundup · · Score: 1

    If you don't want friends on Spotify, then disconnect it from your Facebook account, make all your playlists private, and turn on private listening (it now remains enabled even if you close the app), so the stuff you listen to doesn't show up in your profile page.

    If your friends manage to find you through Spotify anyway, there's nothing much they'll be able to see.

  6. Re:No surprise on Fallout 4 Will Be Skipping Xbox 360 and PS3 · · Score: 2

    Don't forget that back catalog of AAA games these systems have.

    I'm having a serious blast playing Red Dead Redemption for the first time.

    The used market is chock full of great games and new ones can be had for a fraction of a PS4 game.

  7. Last gen systems are still news? on Fallout 4 Will Be Skipping Xbox 360 and PS3 · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This is 2015 and we're supposed to be surprised that a new game won't be compatible with ancient last gen consoles?

    I guess readers are too young to remember when the NES, Master System, N64, etc, all were dropped like hot potatoes by the manufacturers once the new ones were released...

  8. PayPal says it will comply with all laws... on PayPal Will Be Able To Robo-Text/Call Users With No Opt-out Starting July 1 · · Score: 0

    after they bribe the correct lawmakers to have the laws changed.

  9. Re:Pac-Man AI on 1-Pixel Pac-Man · · Score: 4, Interesting

    In the computer science context: yes.

    In the Hollywood context (which's what I think you had in mind): no.

  10. Re:What is the difference of these 2 positions? on Apple Design Guru Jony Ive Named Chief Design Officer · · Score: 3, Informative

    A pay raise. You don't want Johnathan Ive working for a competitor.

  11. Battle to Regulate Free Market on Battle To Regulate Ridesharing Moves Through States · · Score: 0, Troll

    We'll live in a better world when everyone realizes we don't need government regulations and the free market can provide everything we need with quality and competitive prices.

    I'm outraged by theses stupid politicians trying to regulate away our freedom to do business with whomever we wish.

    As a grown adult, I know what's better for me, thankyouverymuch.

  12. Meanwhile on Turtle Receives First-Ever 3D Printed Titanium Jaw Implant of Its Kind · · Score: 0

    There are idiots killing turtles for fun.

    http://now.snopes.com/2015/05/09/200-year-old-turtle/

  13. Why? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Open Document Format? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Is there a technical reason why you need open source formats, or you just want to look cool and hip to others (friends, customers, etc.)?

    MS Office formats are widely used and accepted all over the word and over the best integration with most cloud providers (quick viewing, for instance).

    My .02

  14. OT: Dogs on Will Robot Cars Need Windows? · · Score: 1

    Why do dogs need to stick their head out of the window in a moving car?

    Serious question.

  15. Re:A rich kids' toy, nothing more. on The World's Most Dangerous Driving Simulator · · Score: 1

    Not to mention that TFA reads like a long-winded advertisement.

  16. A rich kids' toy, nothing more. on The World's Most Dangerous Driving Simulator · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Sure, it's a damn fine simulator, but nothing that a top F1 team haven't used before.

    And $54,000? That's pocket change for someone disputing a FIA world championship.

  17. Lieberman 2.0 on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've read a lot of stories lately about VG and porn doing this and that to our youth. Which game will be blamed for the next school shooting?

    I've been saying forever that the keyword is moderation. Anything in excess will screw you up, be it porn, exercise, or board games.

  18. Re:Old pieces of junk on 25 Percent of Cars Cause 90 Percent of Air Pollution · · Score: 0

    Your government should allow the private sector to create the infrastucture to enable mass transit to happen, and then profit from it.

    Governments make terrible business owners, we see this over and over again in different sectors of our economy.

    Leave governmet out of this and let free market forces figure it out.

  19. Old pieces of junk on 25 Percent of Cars Cause 90 Percent of Air Pollution · · Score: -1, Troll

    It's the old pieces of junk falling to pieces that lower class insist on driving when they could simply use public transportation.

    Newer cars must adhere to stricter emission standards.

    Mod me down if you must, but you know it's true.

  20. Always turn off auto update anyway on Microsoft: No More 'Patch Tuesday' For Windows 10 Home Users · · Score: 0

    On all devices that like to auto update.

    Especially Android, where the motto "change for change's sake" seems to be the MO of many devs ( Page, Brin, and Zuck boy, I'm looking at you).

  21. EEO bullshit on Recruiters Use 'Digital Native' As Code For 'No Old Folks' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is one of the biggest bullshit laws I've ever seen.

    Let's say I don't want to hire you because you're old. EEO laws simply mean that I can't say it in your face that you're old. Instead, i send you the standard HR rejection e-mail and we're all good.

    Sight, I hate seeing my tax $$ going to waste drafting these stupid laws.

  22. Re:H-1B News? on Facebook Wants to Skip the Off-Site Links, Host News Content Directly · · Score: 1

    No one's forcing you to get your news from FB. Yu can always, you know, visit other sites.

  23. Kickstarter on Crowdfunded Android Console Ouya Reportedly Seeking Buyout · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe they should sell their business on Kickstarter.

    It worked for their crappy DIY Android box.

  24. Re:Shoulda run Linux on Crashing iPad App Grounds Dozens of American Airline Flights · · Score: 0

    Given the borderline paranoid level of FAA security, I'm sure these iPads are of the WiFi-only variety and can't be connected to anything other than the FAA-approved-certified-encrypted networks.

  25. Re:What we are seeing is ... on Google Insiders Talk About Why Google+ Failed · · Score: 2

    Peter Lynch calls this "diworseification."
