  1. Re:I already have a TV-B-Gone! on Sunglasses That Block All the Screens Around You (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Where's the smug self-satisfaction in that?

  2. Because most people weren't running servers with 64-bit PCI slots and we're talking about a Rpi...

  3. It's a Raspberry Pi, what do you expect? Do you think the first machines with GbE had throughput anywhere close to 1,000mbps?

  4. Re:Fuck You Microsoft on Microsoft Announces Xbox All Access (thurrott.com) · · Score: 1
  5. I never thought I'd live to see the day that a /. user looked back on Win9x through rose tinted glasses and was modded up.

  6. Re:Would this hold up in court? on LA To Become First In US To Install Subway Body Scanners (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's not the question, I don't think people want the airport experience at the airport.

    I'm not a fan of these invasive searches but if that was the case wouldn't that apply to airports?

  8. Re: Cask vs Keg on A CO2 Shortage is Causing a Beer and Meat Crisis in Britain (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Does shandy have a different meeting in Britain? Do you think Britain has the only legitimate form of beer?

    Don't be silly, CO2 tanks don't contain sugar

    Pretending that carbonating beer instead of bottling and priming or drinking still beer turns it into some sugary beverage is stupid.
    It took ages for yeast to be figured out, are you sure it's really beer if you don't use wild yeast? Can you honestly call it beer without gruit?

  10. Re:A P90 is droppin bombz on ur brainz on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, let us know when Microsoft rolls out an automatic MSDOS update to 5.0 that cuts support to Pentiums without MMX support.

  11. "Including any Pentium III" on Microsoft Quietly Cuts Off Windows 7 Support For Older Intel Computers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I enjoy how that's fit in there as if this is 2008 and there are still a good number of P3s in use.

    You're absolutely full of shit, the majority of beer consumed is unremarkable lager consumed unceremoniously by incredibly average people. Europeans don't cherish each glass as a handcrafted masterpiece.

    Fuck your gatekeeping.

    Draught beer isn't bottled, that's it.

    I make my own beer from barley, yeast and hops and when it's done I put it in a corny keg, bring the co2 to 60psi and roll the keg back and forth in my lap for a few minutes, let it rest for an hour and blow off the excess pressure and drink it.

    Only an obnoxious elitist would chime in with bullshit about how it's not real draught.

    I just played with it a bit and I agree, very impressive.

  15. Re:Nintendo Switch is already next generation on Ubisoft CEO: Cloud Gaming Will Replace Consoles After the Next Generation (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Nintendo Swatch, not Switch. That person who wrote this clickbait might be a bit dull.

  16. Re:"Known Place in the Universe" on NASA's Atomic Fridge Will Make the ISS the Coldest Known Place in the Universe (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and I'm saying we don't know much of it.

  17. "Known Place in the Universe" on NASA's Atomic Fridge Will Make the ISS the Coldest Known Place in the Universe (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    How much of the universe do we really know? I understand how unrealistic it is that there are naturally occuring coldspots like this but this is phrased like we've explored the universe.

  18. Who fucking cares? on Ask Slashdot: Is It Linux or GNU/Linux? (linuxjournal.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Call it whatever you want, don't correct me and I won't correct you.

    My 1080 TV is an LG that I still use and was purchased in 2008, so you get off of my lawn.

  22. Re:Anyone that doesn't understand why you'd want o on 8K TVs Are Coming, But Don't Buy the Hype (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    I have a 1080 tv and a 2160 set, the 2160 looks a lot better but it's also 10 years newer. These anecdotes are useless.

  23. Re:Scammers scamming idealists on Silicon Valley Investors Wants to Fund a 'Good For Society' Facebook Replacement (calacanis.com) · · Score: 1

    No, they don't want to create a Faceboook replacement. They just want to get enough attention that their start-up investments get bought out by Facebook and they rake in the money.

    Absolutely.

    I don't know about the self-hosting thing though, I think a bigger barrier than ISP intervention is interest, I don't think most people are interested in having a personal web page. It's safe to say that nearly every person who visits this site can make a web page but how many of us even want one?

  24. This is routine on Best Buy Warns of Data Breach (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm not surprised or outraged anymore. On the bright side, credit monitoring is basically free for everyone forever.

  25. DRM deters privacy for a lot of people, not everyone but if you think DRM isn't helping console sales you're delusional, if anyone could just copy an Xbox or Playstation disc a significant amount of people would.
