  1. Re:Oh the humanity!!!! on YouTube is Down · · Score: 1

    Non-youtube source for all your cat video needs: https://vimeo.com/121712712

  2. Re:MUELLER WILL see YOU NOW on Facebook To Ban Misinformation On Voting In Upcoming US Elections (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    "Given Mueller's team is abandoning ship in droves of late, I'm guessing we are closer to the end than the beginning here,"

    Wait, that sounds a lot like Trump's team.

  3. Re:Going to ban weather reports also? on Facebook To Ban Misinformation On Voting In Upcoming US Elections (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I used Indiana's website ( https://indianavoters.in.gov/ ) to look up polling locations for Governor Holcomb (whose birthday and county were easy to find) and he's only given one option for a polling place (St. Thomas Aquinas Church). It's not like he's in some podunk small town in Indiana. How many options are you given?

  4. Re:Who has only one polling center on Facebook To Ban Misinformation On Voting In Upcoming US Elections (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I've lived in small towns (e.g. Preston, ID) and large communities (Orange, CA and Colorado Springs) and while the larger areas had multiple close polling stations I was still assigned one I was supposed to go to. I never considered the option of hunting for a different one. If you can go to multiple polling locations, do they have anything in place to make sure you didn't already vote once at a different site?

  5. Generally agree with you, but don't believe that immersive storylines require fancy graphics.

  6. VIP is not Clinton on Comey Denies Clinton Email 'Reddit' Cover-Up (politico.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In light of recent events, the VIP email address spoken about was probably Obama's, not Clinton's.

  7. She's so tough, her babies come out sideways.

  8. Re:More political redirection on Hillary Clinton Used BleachBit To Wipe Emails (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Except that we know there were a lot of emails that were not personal but work related that she deleted because they were found on other coworkers' email accounts but not on hers. How many other (non-personal) emails she deleted but we haven't been able to recover (maybe sent to foreign entities) we may never know.

  9. Re:Change history Commrade? Da or Nyet? on Apple Replaces The Pistol Emoji With A Water Gun (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The next internet debate. Is that "water" blue or gold?

  10. Candidate not for sale on 145 Tech Leaders Say 'Trump Would Be A Disaster For Innovation' (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not a Trump fan but I get the impression that many who like him believe he isn't bought and paid for like Hillary probably is. If they are right, it makes sense that these guys wouldn't want to lose their investment and have someone elected that isn't beholden to them.

    Or people get a free 14 day trial and then quit after downloading everything they'd ever be interested in watching.

  13. Re: This is good because of network nature on US Asks VW For Electric Cars (news.com.au) · · Score: 1

    I'm good with VW paying the fine, just as I had to do when I broke the speeding & stop light laws.

    ... Of course VW could turn this to their advantage and into a win - making me think of how the record companies instance on DRM helped make iTunes a dominant player in the downloadable music market (maybe this is not the right analogy, but this is the thought that pops into my mind).

    You must be new here. We explain computer issues with car analogies, not the other way round.

    Must be from Soviet Russia

  14. Re:Welcome to July 2015 on Windows 10 Forced Update Resets Default Apps To Microsoft Products (theinquirer.net) · · Score: 1

    It's never happened to me, either. Has it been reported on why it affects some users but not others?

  16. Re:Not a big deal on Video Game Cheaters Outed By Logic Bombs · · Score: 1

    Or maybe it's like going to a movie theater and picking a movie you don't care about and then sitting through the movie while playing on your cell phone and periodically talking or laughing at obnoxious moments.

  17. Re:Walking Skyrocket? on Emergency Room Visits From Distracted Walking Skyrocket (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I think it was supposed to be "rocking Skywalker"

    With the new Star Wars movie out, this is definitely news for nerds.

  18. Nonconsensual touching? on The War On Campus Sexual Assault Goes Digital · · Score: 1

    What counts as nonconsensual touching? If someone comes up and puts their arm around your shoulder and then removes it when you either move or ask them to remove is that considered nonconsensual touch? If so, I would imagine it's more like 80-90% of both males and females have experienced nonconsensual touch at college.

    Is this limited to just sexual touch? Breasts, crotch, butt? What about a flirtatious pat on the leg? What about a nonflirtatious pat on the back?

  19. Obligatory on Scientists Control a Fly's Heartbeat With a Laser (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our cyborg fruit fly overlords.

  20. Re:Hmmm ... why? on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Introduce Kids In Rural India To Computers? · · Score: 1

    Maybe they already have classes for reading, sex ed, and math. Just because they don't have much in the way of computers yet doesn't mean they have neglected everything else. And maybe computer skills is more marketable in their region (perhaps a relatively short bus ride to a major city) than being able to speak English.

    And here I thought Slashdot posted poorly written headlines to troll Slashdot readers.

  23. Re:It is awesome. on US Successfully Tests Self-Steering Bullets · · Score: -1

    Fewer accidental casualties until the bullet accidentally targets the hostage trying to flee instead of the kidnapper.

  24. Sounds like they took his likeness and transplanted it into the game. Was it just his head?

  25. Re:Well done! on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 1

    According to the Contra Costa Times, the complex will house senior citizens and local workers and will include "a community center and pool, terraced gardens, an orchard and 'micro farm' and a barn." To be allowed to live there, workers will need to make less than 80% of Marin County's median income; seniors will sit somewhere between 30% to 60%. (Median income for the area is $90,839, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.)

    80% of 90k is not dirt poor even in Marin County. I'm sure he'll charge more than $500/month there.
