  1. Re:Does anyone even go to the movies anymore? on 2017: The Year That Horror Saved Hollywood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I know a lot of people who still go to theatres, but a lot less though. Even my people and I go out way less than we used to do. This year, I only saw Dunkirk and Rogue One. Last year was Finding Dory. So, basically one or two per year. It's hard to watch in theatres for me because of my health issues because I have to take time outs to pee (my bladder sucks now). :(

  2. Re:Greed killed Blade Runner 2 on 2017: The Year That Horror Saved Hollywood (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't understand why companies don't bother to offer the previous releases so viewers can rewatch them from buying, renting, etc. I know a few theatres would reshow them before the new one for the hardcore fans.

  3. Re:Not that big of a loss on EA Shuts Down Fan-Run Servers For Older Battlefield Games (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    But it was fun. That's the keypoint. That's why DICE made BF2. My boss, friends, and I played DC mod too much. Haha.

  4. Sure, what about on smart TVs, AppleTV, etc.? :P

    Yeah. I enjoyed BF2 and still have it. I got too busy with life after that. :( In fact, I resumed and finished a couple decades old games on my ancient gaming box. I still have my basic MS Sidewinder joystick, but I really suck! ;)

    Galactic Conquest and Eve of Destruction mods were great too!

  7. Wow, that's technical. :(

  8. So, how are we expect to get the true math answers with these calculations then? :(

    Not just that. Mod support like Desert Combat.

  10. Re:Ridiculous on PSA: Apple's iPhone X Screen Repair Will Cost You $279 (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    And you don't have to work in SV. :P

  11. Maybe Apple already knows about and doesn't consider it a high priority bug. When I did SQA testings, I saw a lot of crazy issues. Lots of them don't get due to lack of resources like times, developers, etc. :(

  12. Wow, I could reproduce it easily in my updated 64-bit W7 HPE SP1 machine. Why hasn't MS fixed it?

  13. Re:Spirograph on The Geometry of Islamic Art Becomes a Treasure of a Game (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, remember LOGO too? ;)

  14. Re:No One Wants a Roku Account on Roku Wants To Start Streaming To Third-Party Devices (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I hate these account requirements. Netgear does it too for its security hardware products. :(

  15. Re:Hiding and classified on Ask Slashdot: Where Do Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I am not willing to relocate too and that's too far since I am on the west coast). Too bad they can't do remote jobs like I did in the past like with Cisco.

  16. Re:Hiding and classified on Ask Slashdot: Where Do Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's hard for me since I have problems finding jobs easily and quickly because of disabilities (don't even drive). :(

  17. Re:Hiding and classified on Ask Slashdot: Where Do Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Ahh, have to find someone to sponsor me to get a security clearance. Hmm, who to find... I read that you can't just apply and get one easily and quickly (like you said) too.

  18. Re:Hiding, embedded, and classified on Ask Slashdot: Where Do Old Programmers Go? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's the problem. They can see the work histories, looks, etc. :( How does one get a government clearance?

  19. Yeah right. Even cellular Internet is slow. Why even bother to try to stream videos if its Internet is slow enough? :(

  20. Isn't $50K a bit low for an IT guy in SV? :P

    Anyways, I would like that pay remotely since I had been unemployed for over 10 mos. :(

  21. But some of us don't want to share our biological datas like fingerprints, faces, etc.

  22. I rarely check my emails on my iPhone 4S since it is slow, annoying, hard to use, etc. I will do most of my e-mails and others on my old fashion computers.

  23. I saw this with big named security companies too in the past. People brought this issue up too! I bet they stilll do that. :(

  24. Re:Wait a sec - brilliant idea for Alexa! on Sony Reportedly Announcing New Robot Dog Next Month (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Same for Google, MS, etc. They all should have dogs! ;P

  25. Let's hope FOX renews Orville too. Fox likes to axe other scifi shows like Firefly, Almost Human, etc.
