  1. Re:Marissa Mayer's legacy is at stake on Yahoo Offers Non-Denial Denial of Bombshell Spy Report (theintercept.com) · · Score: 1

    Lets be honest here, Yahoo was already dead prior to hiring Marissa.

  2. National Security Letter? on Yahoo Offers Non-Denial Denial of Bombshell Spy Report (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2

    If they were subject to an NSL they wouldn't really be able to talk about it no?

  3. Re:The problem with KDE (and Gnome, and Unity) on KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS Desktop Officially Released (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't go as far as you do, but I do agree I'd like to see nearly all the bundled applications separated.

  4. Re: Enough SLASHVERTISEMENT for today on Google Unveils $79 Daydream View VR Headset, Attempts To Reduce VR's Complexity (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is at least technology news for nerds, unlike the the uber & Tesla press releases that occur several times a week.

  5. Really it should support existing devices, consider most people take 2-3 years between upgrading so if you did so recently you're SOL for years.

  6. Re: Amazon Echo disaster on Google, Lagging Amazon, Races Across the Threshold Into the Home (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It's popular amongst the tech press and gadget hounds. Since Amazon hasn't released numbers to my knowledge it's hard to know otherwise.

  7. Different Type of Patent Troll on Feds Go After Mylan For Scamming Medicaid Out of Millions On EpiPen Pricing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Really, these guys are just a different type of patent troll.

  8. Not really, unless the API has a vulnerability. Otherwise Mozilla's plugin code is likely considerably different than Chromes.

  9. Re: IANA is nothing really important on Four States Sue To Stop Internet Transition (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually most countries are democracies. Obviously some like Russia are "democracies" but what you're claiming sounds like someone's anti UN talking point.

  10. Re: Not about Republicans on Four States Sue To Stop Internet Transition (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? When was the last time you saw democrats doing something like this? The republicans have been a popularist party for wire a while where this sort of grandstanding appeals to that segment of their supporters.

  11. She ended up with a couple hundred million so...

  12. Re: Why the heck can't they just use a cable? on FCC Official Asks Agency To Investigate Ban On Journalists' Wi-Fi Personal Hotspots At Debate (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually on private property you can tell people they can't use their device or they can leave.

  13. Re: Blocking is illegal, but this isn't... on FCC Official Asks Agency To Investigate Ban On Journalists' Wi-Fi Personal Hotspots At Debate (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Damn reporters tarting up their access points with makeup, shouldn't be allowed.

  14. With private property they can ask you to leave for pretty much any reason.

  15. I agree, it would have to had sold devices in order to fade away.

  16. Re:Mozilla is wasting money, brains, and time on Mozilla Has Stopped All Commercial Development On Firefox OS -- Explains What It Plans To Do With Code Base (google.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought there was some small chance they could succeed in lower income countries but before they were able to get a foothold chips got cheaper and Android was able to run on equivalently low-end hardware.

  17. Slashdot - Constant Tesla & Uber Stories on Uber Is Researching a New Vertical-Takeoff Ride Offering That Flies You Around (recode.net) · · Score: 0, Troll

    When did Slashdot become a site that covers SF Startup Press Releases? Most of what Uber & Tesla does not fit the "news for nerds" motto.

  18. Its had rumours for years, go look at all the iphone shit.

  19. Re:This is a very real threat to free speech. on Akamai Kicked Journalist Brian Krebs' Site Off Its Servers After He Was Hit By a Record Cyberattack (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    Recently botnets haven't really been the issue, they've mostly been reflection attacks which use DNS, NTP, etc. to amplify the size of the requests. If networks started to drop UDP packets with spoofed addresses that would reduce the problem significantly (so would convincing a huge number of people to fix their DNS or NTP servers, but that is harder).

  20. Re:Would make for a good router. on SolidRun x86 Braswell MicroSoM Runs Linux and Full Windows 10, Destroys Raspberry Pi (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I think you'd be better off picking up one of the Zotac CI-323 bare bones systems.

  21. Re: Free market in communications on Google Allo Messaging App Launches For iOS and Android (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    Nothing is on Windows 10 mobile.

  22. Re:So where will existing content come from? on Netflix Wants 50% Of Its Library To Be Original Content (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm in a similar boat though from my perspective all the original content has been garbage.

  23. Re: Translation: on Netflix Wants 50% Of Its Library To Be Original Content (techcrunch.com) · · Score: -1

    I'm not sure how it is in other countries but in Canada there are quite a few things landlord as originals that appear to simply be content they are the exclusive regional distributor for rather than the creator.

  24. Re:Thanks, but no thanks on Google Allo Messaging App Launches For iOS and Android (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    Everyone I know that used Google Talk switched to Hangouts for the simple reason it was a continuation (though the EOL of the desktop application in favour of a shitty browser plugin was dumb), Allo/Duo however is completely moronic as they exist in parallel are disconnected. I haven't installed Duo, and won't be installing Allo, I'm sure as a Nexus user they'll eventually appear on my devices but I'll disable them at that point.

  25. Re:Thanks, but no thanks on Google Allo Messaging App Launches For iOS and Android (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    It was already passing through Google's servers, try to keep up.
