    So...you don't like actors.

    Ya, no accounts yet. I want my playlists. $9/month and no playlists. This has been a bad week.

    At least something makes you glad. Start buying wrinkle cream now.

    Observe the little documentary casting a shadow over big China.

    Your censorship apologia would sweep away all things gloomy: fellow citizens, think positive! (or else)

  7. Re:Breaking news! on Artificial Intelligence Bests Humans At Classic Arcade Games · · Score: 1

    I figured out an endless pattern to Atari 2600 Space Invaders and PacMan, high score stuff. Was thrilled and disappointed to read about my solution in some Atari mag several years after my discovery.

    I figured I had beat the computer and was disappointed when War Games came out.

  8. Re:if you run a VPN, they can't do shit on AT&T Patents System To "Fast-Lane" File-Sharing Traffic · · Score: 2

    Because I have only had one problem to date. I went nuts one month and downloaded probably over 350gb. Not including streaming. TimeWarner throttled me. I paid $6/month for a vpn for 3 months and then after that no throttling, so I stopped vpn. That was 6 years ago. I still have TW. When I get throttled again or receive some c&c letter, then I get the vpn again. Why pay when I don't need it?

    Amazon Prime Video. Having that tab open in FF disables my screensaver in 8.1. Arg.

    It's the digital version of folding up all my junk snail mail into one of the prepaid postage envelopes some advertisers provide and sending it back. I wish everyone did it.

  12. Re:Boost mobile on Ask Slashdot: Is It Worth Being Grandfathered On Verizon's Unlimited Data Plan? · · Score: 1

    Maybe enough for you. For me, I would need to research more to find out what they consider high speed data (which is capped) and 3g speeds (which is what your streaming video is limited to).

    Caps and throttling.

    I'll never give up my Verizon unlimited. No matter how good looking the Verizon rep is, and no matter how much a month they promise to save me for switching to a new plan.

    Now here's a little item I think you might go for in a big way - Dragonteeth mines. Made in the US and used successfully in Vietnam, I might add. These little honeys won't kill ya', but they're guaranteed to take a foot off. Take a couple of samples, take 'em home, see if you like'em, let me know how many you need. Okay?

    The summary by HughPickens.com says that.

    One article says ,"The devices don’t stop a car while moving. But once the engine is off, they stop it from restarting."

    Go figure...

    Those cost about half your income and the price of a diamond ring.

    Those rocks are for you to look at, not to step on my property and start turning over. Of course, once the cost becomes negligible for a robot to do the rock turning for you, then I'm sure we'll have a rash of home break ins committed by key wielding robots.

    But would you have even bothered to read the story if the poster hadn't hype the ridiculous theoretical maximums?

    Yes, "Blackmailing 350+ Women" was pretty much the hook for me.

    It's not in the summary or article, but wikipedia says her body is aging, with different parts aging at different rates. And that "her telomeres seem to be shortening at the normal rate."

    How exactly would you "dis-allow" this sort of free speech? Can it never be voiced in open, down the street, in another city, even on a website?

    I swear, if you big hearted and overly sensitive types ever form a majority on the Supreme Court, we're all screwed. Please tell us you're just 17 years old and are still exploring and developing your sense of morality and justice?!

    The other possible causes are faults.

    You seem not to have read the last sentence of the abstract. Allow me: "Testing this hypothesis would require identifying geographic regions where there is interpreted subsurface structure information available to determine whether there are faults near seismically active and seismically quiescent injection wells.

    Not "why bother", rather "let's go on a hiring spree". You got the first 3/4 right. But this post kinda talks about the hiring spree-let's bother part.

    One data point: VZ Galaxy Nexus reports my "system is currently up to date" as of right now. That is, I'm running 4.0.4.

    This makes me...what's the word...anxious. Because every time I read something about JB, I grab my Nexus and look. Shrug. I love my phone. Wouldn't switch it for an iPhone if you gave me one.

    (I did switch desktops a couple months ago, because someone actually did offer to buy me a mac pro if I would quit using my windows box.)
