  1. Only if you're growing for money on Startup Sells Pot 'Grow Fridges' That Are Tended By Robots (nj.com) · · Score: 1

    These are "economical" only if you're a professional weed grower. If you're growing for yourself, stick it in a window and water it occasionally, and you'll have fantastic weed. It's not difficult to do.

    I don't watch videos. If it's a well thought out idea, it should be written down. Videos, by definition, are designed to detract from whatever thing you're trying yo say.

  4. Huh? You're trying to run Virtualbox on a phone? Really?

  5. What's wrong with Virtualbox? I use it every day.

  6. 1. She did not use her heritage to gain admittance to any school. That's a lie.

    2. Using the word "Pocohantas" is, indeed racist.

    3. The free market is not the guiding principle of our entire society. We need regulation. the free market isn't a cure-all.

    4. Yes, company leaders do need to be exposed to personal liability. If not, then who is held accountable for a crime by a large company? The millions of stockholders? Should we arrest everybody who owns a share of stock of a company when that company breaks the law? I'd bet that 99% of people with an IRA or 401(k) own shares of Google, Facebook, etc, at least indirectly.

  7. What in the hell are you talking about? You have to hold the people in charge accountable, not the people who follow orders.

  8. Fuck you, you racist asshole.

    Yes, it will make things more expensive for companies. I think it's worth it. I would imagine most sensible people think it's worth it. If you don't care, why don't you post your personal info here?

    That's not a good analogy. When you have something stolen from your house, it doesn't damage other people. When my data is stolen, it harms me.

    I'd be surprised if anybody with an IQ above room temperature was surprised.

    Or maybe you should talk to multiple politicians today claiming we have only 10 years to solve this problem...

    Who's saying that we have ten years? The IPCC reports suggest that we're probably already too late to stop a few more degrees of warming.

    More climate stories than tech.

    Slashdot isn't a tech site, dipshit. It's "News for Nerds". Climate change is news for biology/ecology/sociology nerds.

    Sod the asteroid strike, the earth survived 15 ton, 20 ft tall bipedal walking mouths with teeth as long as steak knives. I'm pretty sure we'll be OK.

    Hey dipshit, humans weren't around for either of those two things. That's the whole point.

  14. Since I'm guessing 90% of all FB users use GMail, they could just buy them from Google.

    I would imagine everything you do takes hours and hours. You're probably used to sitting in your car, wasting time. I'm curious: is it worth it? I commute 45 min each way, and I'm thinking about selling my house and buying one closer to work & school. I cannot imagine living 3.5 hours form an airport.

    Personal decision. I'm in retail. I don't shop with my competition.

    I used to go to Whole Foods regularly. But, since I don't shop at Amazon, I haven't gone since the acquisition. Luckily, we have a Fresh Market near us for all of the special things that Whole Foods had.

  18. Re:I wish there were more video stores on Blockbuster Video Now Has Just One Store Left On Earth (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    A. I never went to Blockbuster. I used a few local stores that had better selection.

    B. Streaming services have a lot of garbage. I'm not interested in just parking my butt in front of any old garbage. My time is valuable, and if I'm going to spend any of it in front of a screen, it's going to be to watch and enjoy something good.

    C. I'm a member of Netflix's DVD service. It's not nearly as bad as their streaming selection, but it's not great, either. A sample of the DVD's I'd like to get but they have permanently unavailable: "Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978)", "Gung Ho (1986)", "Flash Gordon (1980)", "Kids in the Hall: Brain Candy (1996)". My video store had all of these. If they didn't have something, they'd buy it so that I could rent it.

    There is a difference between quantity and quality.

    No, I went to good video stores. I could get all of the Criterion Collection, all of David Lynch's stuff, etc. They had everything!

  20. Re:"more private and secure" on Cloudflare Says Its New VPN Service Won't Slow You Down (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Good point. While AT&T probably owns 50% (with Spectrum/Time-Warner owning roughly the other half) of the Internet in the US, I think that Cloudflare probably has traffic running from 75-95% of it.

  21. I wish there were more video stores on Blockbuster Video Now Has Just One Store Left On Earth (apnews.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I miss video stores. I miss them almost daily. Streaming has no selection at all. Netflix's DVD service isn't bad, but it takes a week or so to get something that I want to see. I miss being able to get a pizza and a movie to watch over dinner. I have a huge video collection at home, but getting new stuff is still a PITA (order through Netflix DVD).

  22. These people belong in jail

    For what? What they're doing is 100% legal. We need to vote for people who are going to change the laws. Europe can do it. But in the US... well... jobs?

    I have a legal basis for suing my email company because I pay them. People who use GMail do not, because there is no payment (no "consideration" in legal terms). That's a huge difference.

    Why would anybody use Gmail? Is it really worth saving $2/month on email to let Google spy and catalog all of your email?
