  1. Hate that pos on The Problem With Google AMP (80x24.net) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I actually switched my mobile browser to Bing to avoid Google Amp. If I really need Google I'll go there. But with no option to disable it and a terrible mobile experience I'll stick to Bing *Puke*

  2. Best fucking part on President Obama Commutes Chelsea Manning's Sentence (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Best fucking part...

    "Earlier this month, WikiLeaks said it would agree to a US extradition request for the site's founder, Julian Assange, if Obama granted clemency to Manning. It was not immediately clear if WikiLeaks would make good on its promise."

    I'm sure Julian will honor this....

    What? I have my phone rooted and all the above just works. The only exception is I get this scary message booting up my phone.

    I could see 4k video sure. But 4k games? It can not even handle 1080p currently a lot of the time.

    How's escaping the tyranny of Apple's walled garden working out for you? Meet the new boss, worse than the old boss.

    Fine because I just buy a Google Nexus Phone and can do whatever the hell I want with it? Unlocked boot-loader, root access, because its my own piece of hardware.

    Just buy a Nexus 5x or 6x. Works on every major 4 carriers (Sprint, AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile).

    what marketing campaign? Do I live under a rock? I thought you had to agree to reasonable terms to use the product? Is every manufacturer liable if you misuse their products (Guns?)

    I mean here is a great one with his marketing weasel nonsense.

  12. Did his device have rounded corners? Can he go after Samsung as well?

  13. Re: Revenge p0rn on Gawker Files For Bankruptcy After Hulk Hogan Lawsuit (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Gawker got curb-checked for invasion of privacy by posting what is basically revenge porn. In order for your warning to come true, Slashdot would have to do something similar, and I for one do *not* want to see a Steve Ballmer Sex Tape, y'dig?

    Now you got a horrible image in my head with the man yelling developers, developers, developers uncontrollably.

    Did you even read what you linked?

    "In 1973 a federal district court in Arizona decided that the act was unconstitutional and Arizona could not keep the party off the ballot in the 1972 general election (Blawis v. Bolin). In 1961 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled that the act did not bar the party from participating in New York's unemployment insurance system (Communist Party v. Catherwood)

    However, the Supreme Court of the United States has not ruled on the act's constitutionality. Despite that, no administration has tried to enforce it. The provisions of the act "outlawing" the party have not been repealed. Nevertheless, the Communist Party of the USA continues to exist in the 21st century.

  19. Re:So the vulnerability is the updating mechanism? on Apple's iPhone Already Has a Backdoor · · Score: 1

    You can disable the update on Windows 10 Pro/Enterprise. It's a group policy gpedit.msc -> Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update. -> Set it to not install updates.

    Or... navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU] and set "AUOptions"=dword:00000002 .

    And how it could possibly be worse than Comcast.

    Comcast has different tiers depending on the competition in the area. I live in NJ where FIOS is big around here and I pay $50 a month for just internet service which gets me 150 Mbps / 50 Mbps up and no data cap. Which is hysterical as up to about 3 years ago I was lucky to get 25 Mbps / 3 Mbps with a 250 GB data cap, until FIOS stepped up their advertising.

  23. Yet you don't see politicians calling for all cars to automatically report back to the police when an impaired driver tries to start the car.

    Please don't give them any ideas...

    God damn it...too late
