  1. Let's be honest on Viewers Only Watch 10% of Pay-TV Channels: Nielsen (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    No different than playing 30 of your 300 steam games

  2. It's a wash on YouTube-MP3 Ripping Site Sued By IFPI, RIAA and BPI (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    If you ACTUALLY do this, you are doing yourself a disservice. If it isn't posted by the original artist, it is almost always a distorted song. The pitch is changed, the tempo, frequencies torn right out of the middle. Then when you hear it on the radio and streaming, the song seems "off" and is ruined forever

  3. Re:Finest IDE? on Will Oracle Surrender NetBeans to Apache? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 2

    No SourceSafe? Pffffffffffff

  4. Android x86 is a buggy piece of shit on Run Android 6.0 Marshmallow on Your PC With Android-x86 6.0 (softpedia.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Android x86 is a buggy piece of shit

  5. Second try for VRML?

  6. A 500GB bluray, you say? Where can I buy such a thing?

  7. Windows 2000 was meh, XP better

    Clearly you don't remember very well. Win2k was a freaking breath of fresh air from Win9x and NT4. XP was absolute garbage that everyone hated until SP2 came along.

  8. Not a unique occurance on Windows 10 Computers Crash When Amazon Kindles Are Plugged In (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1
  9. What exactly does that mean? on Millions Of Steam Game Keys Stolen After Hacker Breaches Gaming Site (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook access tokens were stolen for those who signed in with their social account.

    What exactly does that mean?

  10. Pffff on Intel's Joule is Its Most Powerful Dev Kit Yet (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    $369. No.

  11. Except a kernel update that breaks ABI...

  12. Re:"Counterfeit" on US Judge Dismisses Part of Alibaba Counterfeit Goods Lawsuit (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Until you get a shoddy o2 sensor and wonder why you car runs like shit

  13. Re:'Carcinogenic compounds'. on E-Cigarettes Emit Toxic Vapors, Says Study (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    ugh. s/way/say

  14. Re:'Carcinogenic compounds'. on E-Cigarettes Emit Toxic Vapors, Says Study (upi.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't way butter was bad... and you illustrated my point COMPLETELY. While I will concede that butter may have been a poor choice of anecdote, that didn't stop you from constructing a strawman and running with him across town.

  15. Re:'Carcinogenic compounds'. on E-Cigarettes Emit Toxic Vapors, Says Study (upi.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    When something is not as bad as another thing, you shouldn't call it healthier. It is just less bad for you. For instance, "butter is less bad for you than margarine", vs "butter is healthier for you than margarine"... there is nothing healthy about butter

  16. Re:4-Megapixel Lens? on Facebook Open Sources 360 Surround Camera With Ikea-Style Instructions (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Because underneath them, they have an image sensor, not film

  17. I think there is one US state that gives actual money via welfare.

    Just about everywhere else, you could wait 5 years to get section 8 housing, get food stamps, *help* with utilities (not all paid), maybe medical coverage, but you still need to fill in the gaps with actual money. Even if you qualify for TANF, you'll get pittance for a short time, which you have to pay back. Long gone is the person that can live exclusively on welfare.

  18. Yeah right on Seagate Fires 6,500, Or 14% of Workforce, Stock Soars (zerohedge.com) · · Score: 1

    "Specialist"

  19. Not clear on Android KeyStore Encryption Scheme Broken (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    So... if I understand this correctly, the vulnerability is in the fact that since they mac-then-encrypt, the data must be decrypted before the HMAC can be validated. SO, in theory, it opens up the possibility of a side-channel attack, but I don't see how the encryption is actually "broken"

  20. Re:Usage is consent on Walmart Now Lets You Pay With Phone At All 4,600 US Stores Via Walmart Pay (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    They already do this. I've worked on plenty of Walmart "basket" data from IRI and Neilson

  21. Re:$500 mirror on Japan Says Yes To Mirrorless Cars (carscoops.com) · · Score: 1

    Most sane people don't buy a mirror from a NAPA retail outlet.

  22. Re:Mint is almost awesome on Linux Mint 18 'Sarah' Released, Supports Generic GTK X-Apps (linuxmint.com) · · Score: 1

    This has been a thing with X ever since the 2.6 kernel was released

  23. Re:Raspberry Pi & OSMC on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Preferred Media Streaming Device? · · Score: 1

    Does netflix work?

  24. Until the ship gets infected with the Da Vinci as a ruse to blame innocent hackers because they copied the garbage file

  25. Re:Astronomy in a nutshell on Universe Is Expanding Faster Than We Thought (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    What would be a great idea is if we could have all of the conclusions on a mat, if you will. In some sort of grid. Then we could JUMP to them
