  1. Done! on Buying a Samsung TV Online Could Jeopardize Your Data (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    I am officially done with this shitty site, I won't be checking to see if I got voted down, I am logging out & never coming back. I submitted this nearly an hour before, but yet this one gets posted instead; so fuck slashdot, and fuck all the owners, they can all go fuck their children which I know they love to do!!!

  2. I Call Bullsh*t On This.... on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Because people take it as cannon whatever our scientists say as fact, just because we [Humans] haven't achieved something yet that aliens have done already or now saying they are 'extinct' because we haven't heard from them yet. But seeing all the UFO sightings, etc. say otherwise!

  3. To get an invite to use that site for years, still have no idea what the site actually looks like!

  4. Vinyl CDs of Digital Music... on 'Record Store Day' Creates Vinyl Logjam (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    That's all they are to me, if I want music on vinyl, then I'll go to a used record store and get the music that I listened to back in the late '70s and some of the '80s on real vinyl records with all the hisses & pops that go along with them. If I want a CD, then I'll go and buy a CD, but I will not waste my money on Vinyl CDs!

  5. This is about... on Canadian Police Have Had BlackBerry's Global Decryption Key Since 2010 (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    BBOS, and not Android which is what RIM -- yes I still call them that -- uses now!

  6. How Is... on The Future of Firefox is Chrome (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Chromium a 'rival' to Chrome, when Chromium is the open source project behind Chrome..?!

  7. '... finally arrived on Windows...' on Popular Transmission BitTorrent Client Released For Windows (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Transmission has been available for Windows since 2010 -- if you go by the SourceForge project page -- using the name Transmission-QT. So, how is it 'finally available for Windows'?

  8. Someone Has Been Watching... on Hackers Demand $3.6 Million From Hollywood Hospital Following Cyber-Attack (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    "CSI: Cyber"

    Because this is similar to season 2 episode 5 entitled "Hack E.R."....

  9. Basically What Intel Did.... on CERN Engineer Details AMD Zen Processor Confirming 32 Core Implementation, SMT (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    'AMD will use two 16-core CPUs on a single die with a next-generation interconnect' Which is what Intel more or less did when they first came out with their dual-core CPUs, to try and catch up with AMD at the time who had dual-core CPUs on a single die.

  10. Re:Now only if... on Swedish Court: ISPs Can't Be Forced To Ban the Pirate Bay (thelocal.se) · · Score: 1

    It's enabled by default, I just never remove it, because it does come in handy sometimes as if you use a common sentence it keeps it for you to use over and over again.

  11. Re:Now only if... on Swedish Court: ISPs Can't Be Forced To Ban the Pirate Bay (thelocal.se) · · Score: 1

    That should be company, stupid autocorrect on my phone!

  12. Now only if... on Swedish Court: ISPs Can't Be Forced To Ban the Pirate Bay (thelocal.se) · · Score: 2

    Cox Communications was a European country, because they lost this type of ruling in the US recently.

  13. A Few Years Ago.... on 20 Years of GIMP (gimp.org) · · Score: 2

    I remember reading a few years ago, possibly here on /., that GIMP was going to be rewritten to get rid of all the "spaghetti code", whatever happened with that?

  14. Re:Power Rangers is a rip off of Dai Sentai Goggle on Gritty 'Power Rangers' Short Is Not Fair Use · · Score: 1

    You do know that Power Rangers has been based off of -- and uses footage from -- the Super Sentai (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Sentai) series that started in 1975 by Toei, for example '93's PR is based on '92's "Kyry Sentai Zyuranger".

  15. Fixed! on DOT Warns of Dystopian Future For Transportation · · Score: 2

    'The U.S. Department of Transportation has issued a 300-page PDF outlining the grim future of transportation infrastructure in America over the next thirty years'

    There, I've fixed that. Because DOT has no idea what transportation here in Canada will be like over the next 30 years!

  16. Just Beacause... on Gamma-ray Bursts May Explain Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    We don't see 'billion-year-old civilizations all around us', doesn't mean that none exist, also, just because human scientists theorize something, doesn't mean that it's actually true!

  17. You [Slashdot] know on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    that Cineplex Entertainment is Canadian, and not american, don’t you..?!

  18. Hardly the father...! on Ralph H. Baer, a Father of Video Gaming, Dies At 92 · · Score: 1

    Hardly the 'father of video games', seeing as how:

    Cathode Ray Tube Amusement Device (1947), Thomas T. Goldsmith Jr. and Estle Ray Mann.

    Chess (1947–1958), Alan Turing and Dietrich Prinz.

    Bertie the Brain (1950), Dr. Josef Kates.

    Nim (1951), Ferranti.

    Strachey's Draughts Program (1951), Christopher Strachey.

    OXO / Noughts and Crosses (1952), Alexander S. Douglas.

    Tennis for Two (1958), William Higinbotham.

    Mouse in the Maze, Tic-Tac-Toe (1959)

    Spacewar! (1961), Martin Graetz, Steve Russell, and Wayne Wiitanen.

    Odyssey (1966), Ralph H. Baer.

    As you can see, Baer doesn't show up until the mid-60s, so he's not the father!

  19. Shouldn't Ed Packard... on R. A. Montgomery, Creator of the "Choose Your Own Adventure" Books, Dead At 78 · · Score: 1

    Be credited as the creator, because by the tone of the article, he invented the concept, and brought it to RAM's company for publishing...!

  20. Codename One on Ask Slashdot: Swift Or Objective-C As New iOS Developer's 1st Language? · · Score: 1

    'If/when I decide to port my iOS App to Android (and/or Windows Phone)?'

    To answer your question, you should check out the IDE called Codename One, it allows you to develop for a bunch of mobile platforms all at the same time:

    http://www.codenameone.com/

  21. This is because.... on Why the FCC Is Likely To Ignore Net Neutrality Comments and Listen To ISPs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    '...time and time again, federal agencies like the FCC ignore what the public says it wants and side with the parties actually being regulated...' This is because the FCC -- just like the CRTC here in Canada -- are run by former employees of the companies, and will side with their former employer every time, as they'd rather help them than the public at large. It boils down to conflict of interest, but nothing is ever done about it.

  22. Re:Question About The DCMA. on Interviews: Ask Jennifer Granick What You Will · · Score: 1

    Doesn't matter about agreements, it's a US only law, but of course the US thinks it's the leader of the world and only its laws matter!

  23. Question About The DCMA. on Interviews: Ask Jennifer Granick What You Will · · Score: 1

    Why do American companies seem to think that the DCMA applies outside of the USA, when it is only for Americans in America..?!

  24. Not Everyone... on New Standard For Website Authentication Proposed: SQRL (Secure QR Login) · · Score: 1

    Owns a smartphone, so SQRL is completely useless!

  25. 'Habitable Zone' Bull***t on First 'Habitable Zone' Galactic Bulge Exoplanet Found · · Score: 2

    Just because our planet is a certain distance away from the sun and supports life, doesn't mean that every planet has to be in the exact same place in other systems to support life. Also, there is no way that all life in the universe is going to be carbon, there are going to be silicon beings out there, and who knows, maybe even things more exotic!
