  1. Re:Sharp gear was always crap anyway.... on Sharp To Americans: You Don't Want to Buy a Sharp-Brand TV (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Sharp Zaurus.

  2. 0.0.0.0 googleadservices.com

  3. Whereas in the case of W. Bush misleading about WMD's, there was a singular source being trumped-up by a singular agency into a "compelling" case for emergency military action.

    I see what you did there

  4. Re:No bug tracking on Ask Slashdot: How Does Your Team Track And Manage Bugs In Your Software? · · Score: 1

    Bwahahaha. Blaming the compiler. What year is it?

  5. Re:Avoid travel or leave laptop at home on What To Do If the Laptop Ban Goes Global (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    What good will that do anyone? I'd certainly never trust entering my passwords into the likes of a rented laptop. Neither should anyone else.

  6. Re:Why sell these? on Facebook Bans Sale of Piracy-Enabling Set-Top Boxes · · Score: 1

    Cinevia isn't Bluray encryption.

  7. Re:Why sell these? on Facebook Bans Sale of Piracy-Enabling Set-Top Boxes · · Score: 1

    Another advantage, to which you are undoubtedly benefiting from is Kodi doesn't enforce the Cinevia copy protection that is on a crapload of Blurays.

  9. Re:Is this related to the rewards surveys? on Google Following Your Offline Credit Card Spending To Tell Advertisers If Their Ads Work (consumerist.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes it likely is.

  10. Re:What about OS/2 ? ArcaOS ? on ReactOS 0.4.5 Released (reactos.org) · · Score: 2

    I haven't seen an ATM using OS/2 in two decades. It is all Windows

  11. Re:I remember that on How The 1997 'NESticle' Emulator Redefined Retro Gaming (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Bleem was junk. It was the first attempt at going beyond perfect emulation (which already existed in the Connectix Virtual Game Station). There was always "one more bug" that needed worked out, and it never quite worked right

  12. Re:Release it with source code unde GPL on StarCraft Is Now Free, Nearly 20 Years After Its Release (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I seem to remember someone talking about the code being absolutely abysmal

    From a quick google search: http://kotaku.com/5942128/star...

  13. Re:Isn't that all Kodi? on Amazon Bans Sales of Media Player Boxes That Promote Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, Kodi doesnt trigger the Cinevia crap from ripped Blurays.

  14. Re:This is awesome on Your Save Data Is Not Safe On the Nintendo Switch (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The worst was games like Castlevania 2, where it had both a code AND internal memory. You were never quite sure if you just didn't write down the code correctly or if the battery power floundered

  15. Re:Thanks, but no thanks. on Elon Musk Launches Neuralink To Connect Brains With Computers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1
  16. Command & Conquer is great as long as it is any of them before Command & Conquer 4

  17. Re:Does this case fit the precedent? on 'Sorry, I've Forgotten My Decryption Password' is Contempt Of Court, Pal - US Appeal Judges (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    A man cannot be compelled to self-incriminate

    Sure they can. Do this field sobriety/breathalyzer/blood test combo. Oh, you refuse? Don't worry, we'll use that as evidence against you in a criminal case because you broke a civil law!

    It is not different here. They are nailing the dude for contempt, not for not testifying against himself. There are always ways around that bush

    the court may not presume guilt (innocent until proven guilty), and the court can only establish guilt through due process of law (everything from investigation to conviction)

    See above.

    I'd like to also point out this isn't the only scenario where your "constitutional rights" are subverted by twisted perversion of the law

    Old windows had a 2047 char limit on the PATH env var. Now it is up to 4095. That sucker can fill up fast, especially if you do development on it

  21. Re:Playstation Network Account on PlayStation Now Will Bring PS4 Games to your PC (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I just recently was given a PS3. Went to sign up for an account and someone else used my email address. There is no undoing it. They won't send a reset to that email account. They won't undo it from the other account.

    It is APK. You can't expect much different

    Visual Studio was always a MAJOR advantage of Windows. Now, maybe, we don't have to worry about that.
