  1. Don't trust anything on the internet on Why You Should Be Suspicious of Online Movie Ratings (fivethirtyeight.com) · · Score: 1

    I just don't trust anything on the internet by default.

  2. They are used to getting away with it. on Documents Expose the Inner Workings of Obama's Drone Wars · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you look at the fact that the USA/Obama Admin didn't care about how much they missed their target, and you look at the Doctors without Borders Hospital bombing. The USA knew, didn't care because they have been getting away with bombing the wrong targets for the last decade. Only problem now is the truth is coming out and it's looking bad for the Obama Admin.

  3. We should arrest school picture photographers also on German Police Warn Parents To Stop Posting Photos of Kids On Facebook (thestack.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Those school pics you were forced to get every year? Ya, big pedophile ring right there. Forcing us to look nice for photos, so they could get off on it.

    What about the DMV taking pictures of your kids? Government controlled ephebophilia ring there.

    Oh shit, about what all the kids at the beaches? Wearing very little? We should outlaw that also. Maybe not let kids go outside anymore while we are at it. After all, we just think of the children, oh wait, we should outlaw that also.

    sorry, i screwed up on my mod, wasn't trying to downvote this, so I must post.

    Nothing to see here.

  5. Re:This was not a screw-up on US Bombs Hit Doctors Without Borders Hospital · · Score: 2

    not after having been made aware of their coordinates and location several times. Someone ordered this strike, believing there were "terrorists" treated at that facility, knowing very well it was a hospital and what the result would be, and giving no damn about it because they can get away with it. This is worse than all the other killings commited by U.S forces abroad, and people and governments must take a stand, or killings and murders like these will just continue.

    I'm guessing they were told they did abortions at that hospital.

    Makes you think.

    I'm guessing at least 65% of these "slashdot military age" men are too fat to join the military.

  7. We didn't have mobile phones when I was a kid on Kids Prefer To Play Games On Mobile Devices Over Consoles · · Score: 1

    This is nice and all, but here is a few things.

    This is the first generation to have mobile phone games. We never had something like this before. Plus the cost of smart phones are high, so in the past a console was an easy Xmas present every 5 years, but now cell phones are replaced every year.

    Not to mention almost everyone is using a smartphone all the time now. I can't walk down the street without finding at least 50% of the people watching their phone.

    So ya, we have these cool smartphones that can do a fucking lot of shit and almost everyone is using them all the time.

    Kids, fuck, what do they know?

    Now THAT is a proper train-wreck waiting to happen.

    How much do you get paid to do posts like this? I'm broke for this upcoming holiday system and I think I can spread FUD about whatever company like the best of ya.

    enough horsepower

    I don't understand those words in that order. There cannot be "enough horsepower", there can only be "more horsepower".

    So you are saying that you can not have enough horsepower to make it up that hill, because all you need is more horsepower?

    Sounds legit.

  10. Re:Kleenex, Xerox, Band-aid on NFL Commentators Still Calling Microsoft's Surface Tablets "iPads" · · Score: 2

    All the same concept. Generic terms for what is and used to be specific brands. A 'tablet looking thing' will be refereed to as an "iPad". Same as if they were using Dell, Asus, Samsung tablet looking things.

    iPad.

    Tablet.

    A word you used both times describing the objects. My guess is this will be what everyone will be calling them.

  11. Re:What did the question even mean? on Microsoft's Satya Nadella Shown Up By Confused Cortana Assistant · · Score: 3, Insightful

    all you are showing is a lack of knowledge of business. anyone that works in sales or business would have no issues understanding the sentence.

    And this is why it failed. Cortana isn't working in sales or business.

    I just wonder why the fuck the person didn't actually try asking his question some time before the conference to test it out? This is like compiling some code, give a person the *.exe when you never bothered to run it yourself to see if it works. Sure, you think it should work great, but it probably won't. You have to test it first. Or even worse, Nadella is a CEO who actually believes the hype wagon his company spews, and doesn't bother to actually use the products his company makes.

    Idiot got what he deserved.

  12. Re:there is such a museum in Nottingham on America's First Video Game Museum Is Trying To Level Up · · Score: -1

    although I wouldn't exactly call it a museum, I'd call it a fucking leech, it costs a fucking fortune to get in (£9 for a non-member!) and half the "exhibits" are either hand-off or locked in demo mode, or nonfunctional. In fact I was so disappointed in it when I went last month I won't even bother linking the website.

    I can't believe that a place in California charges Pounds (&) instead of Dollars ($).

  13. 10 Mbits isn't enough on Broadband Users 'Need' At Least 10Mbps To Be Satisfied · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You can't stream decent video with 10 Mbits while someone else in your house is trying to play an online game or even web browsing these days.

    Worse, I have a 50 Mbit connection with Comcast and you can't stream their Xfinity stuff without buffers and pixelated/blocks showing up. Which I find amusing, that Comcast can't even stream their own shit on their own networks.

    I'd say 25Mbits is the least people can use with a mostly usable internet.

    And I"m saying Mbits instead of Mbps so people understand we are talking bits, not bytes.

  14. Re:Just a harmless drone this time on Science Teacher Arrested After Crashing Drone At US Open · · Score: 1

    Until a drone is constructed entirely out of fabric, there is no such thing as a "harmless" drone (and even a fabric drone can be dangerous in certain odd circumstances).

    This is something the drone-nuts don't seem to understand. At least model airplane enthusiasts understand that they are directing a rigid object at moderate speeds with (usually) open propellers rotating at high rpm. A proper understanding of what you are doing leads to some level of caution and respect for people around you. I have seen neither from any of these drone stories, not even the Amazon delivery one suggests that they will include safeguards to protect people from their drones.

    Drones don't kill people, bullets do.

    Since there is no reason to post stories to slashdot anymore, here is another link, this one is about saving the wifi from the FCC.

    Plus what I posed in the original summary that was not included, seems like it's matters:
    The proposed rule only affects devices operating in the U-NII bands; the portion of the spectrum used for 5GHz WiFi, and the proposed rule only affects the radios inside these devices.

    Ya, once again. fuck you slashdot editors.

    How would Gamestop buy it? You would presumably be given a key to activate on Steam in the box. Once activated it's attached to your steam account. The box/DVD becomes worthless, even if the game itself were on the DVD.

  20. Re:It can't. on Research Suggests How Alien Life Could Spread Across the Galaxy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Habital planets are so rare and far apart that alien life wouldn't be able to spread across the galaxy. Hell, even earth is so far away from the nearest possibly habitable planet that if we could travel 90% of the speed of light, it would take something like 10,000 years to get there. Much less a population and equipment and supplies enough to start a society.

    Actually, we don't know if habitable planets are rare. We are finding a bunch and have barely look at what the universe holds. Now the traveling thing could be a problem, but maybe there are civilization on other planets that don't waste their time and resources killing each other and actually focus on science and space.

  23. Re:When you define anything as "cheating"... on Ashley Madison Hack Claims First Victims · · Score: 1

    Actually, some of us do. For instance, those of us who try to follow Christ also, by definition, try to give at least some consideration to how Jesus defined it:

    "27 You have heard that it was said to those of old,[c] 'You shall not commit adultery.' 28 But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

    (Matt. 5:27-28, NKJV)

    The lesson: Big sins usually start off as small ones. Don't lust after other women, don't think about cheating, don't put yourself in the position where you might, don't neglect your marriage to the point where you feel you need to, and chances are pretty good that you won't.

    We also try to remember that if God has forgiven us our sins against Him, then we also ought to be willing to forgive those who sin against us. Most marriages can be saved if both partners are willing to save it, and, sometimes, even if one of them is not.

    The bible says it's okay for your daughters to get you drunk and have sex with you also.

    Actually he didn't. When he was in the US he used the site and now he is back in Saudi Arabia where he doesn't use the site. But he is afraid that what he did in the US will be exposed and will be punished for it in Saudi Arabia.

    Then I guess he better move back to the United States or to another country, because his lapse of judgement might get him killed if he stays.

    So the message is "shut up and live a lie in your repressive regime"?

    Be careful what you wish for. You might have to do it soon.

    No, the message is, when you live in an oppressive regime, and you do something that is considered wrong there, you best hide what you do very fucking good. Putting your info on some Dating/Cheating website isn't the smartest move you can make. Mainly when the info can lead the attackers, abusers and whatnot to your door if they found out.
