  1. Re:Just an idiot making noise on Mayweather-McGregor Streaming Glitches Prompt Lawsuit Against Showtime (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    "Countersued? For what?"

    Violation of the arbitration clause in his service contract.

  2. ...wanna know how I know you watch Wrestlehard? :D

  3. Re:I too will now make a foolish purchase on Mayweather-McGregor Streaming Glitches Prompt Lawsuit Against Showtime (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    I do it roughly every weekend (minus charity.) AYCE Sushi for 2 (myself and my husband) - $40. Movies for 2 (we hate popcorn and rarely drink soda) - $15. Mini golf for 2 - $15 ($20 if I play in the arcades.) That leaves me $20-25 for charity and a tiny violin.

    https://www.amazon.com/Instrum... - there's the violin for $10. That leaves me with $10-15 for charity.

  4. AND PlayStation.

    Try again when you understand qualifiers.

  5. "Sony is currently the only one blocking any crossplay."

    Uhhhh, what? I'm pretty sure my Final Fantasy XIV has crossplay. Why, yes, I'm playing with PS4 users on my PC.

  6. "WASD + mouse input will always outperform dual joysticks."

    Depends. How high can you crank the sensitivity on that joystick? In all the keyboard+mouse games I play, my mouse sensitivity is jacked so high (on purpose) that I never need to move the mouse more than 4-5mm to get a full 360 turn. High sensitivity + acceleration on a joystick could achieve the same effect, and only requires roughly the same amount of muscular control - barely any.

  7. You gonna detect this and every variation thereof?

    https://www.amazon.com/Keyboar...

    Probably not. There are literally hundreds of different models out there.

    Wanna know how I know it works? I use them. Specifically this model for any console FPS gaming and combine it with my X-Arcade for fighting games.

    "This means each studio would have to design a macro editor for each game,"

    I've been able to program my X-Arcade with macros for at LEAST a decade and use that controller on consoles (fighting games.)

    No. 2K refers to the horizontal resolution, 1920 pixels, much like 4K refers to 3840 pixels horizontal resolution.

    You're American whether you want to be or not - our country owns this planet. You're obviously too chickenshit to stop us from what we're doing now.

    Why hide anything? Hell I broadcast a weekend-regular live porn broadcast.

    Of course, I'm fucking my husband, which stops most of you (well, 60% of you, by site statistics) but hey, it gives me more play money (literally, in every sense of the word given our government.)

    "Most people want to be spied on."

    No, they don't. They just don't KNOW, which is the whole point behind Podesta's "We purposefully created an ignorant populace" part of the leaked e-mails which you obviously refused to read and fucking comprehend so that you are aware of the situation we are in.

    "I'd rather eat at restaurants that were competently managed over restaurants that rely on spying on their customers in order to avoid having to be competently managed."

    You obviously never worked food service. If we don't watch you, how the fuck are we supposed to know when your glass needs to be refilled? If you come often enough, should we not know (excepting a new person hired between your last visit and this one) your fucking drink of choice?

    Your very presence is fucking information. This is nothing new and has been done for FUCKING CENTURIES. It's called 'being observant of your clientele.' Basic fucking business practice.

    Holy shit take your ignorant as back to school in the 90s when we still had this kind of education.

    Wake up, millennial child.

  15. "Vegans can't eat from kitchens that cook meat now?"

    Outrage is so bad now-days that the smell of meat sends most vegans into an unconscionably-deep fit.

  16. "being specialized in vegan meals"

    If you can't handle every fucking cuisine you can't call yourself a cook, let alone a chef.

    That's 20+ fucking years of experience behind me talking. Maybe you weak millennials will accept a meager fresh out of culinary school 6-year student who can only do Wellingtons and Eggs Benedict, that won't fly with us born in the kitchen fire cooks who learned an entire swath of cuisine (in my case, Oriental, vegan or otherwise) through hard work and a real hands-on education.

    You paid to learn how to cook. We got paid to cook while we learned because we had talent that was recognized off the bat, with no formal introduction required. There's your difference.

    Just FYI, everyone, this is an example of the current psychological warfare the alt-right is trying to use. Feel free to turn them into meat at your earliest convenience. Cannibalism to help this country survive sounds like a wonderful option at the moment. Start with the fat rich white nationalists like Joe Arpaio, and work your way down.

  18. "Good luck with that. You cannot do data-mining on clients you do not serve."

    All I have to do is open my eyes and watch people in public.

    Apparently your under-18 self never heard of 'people-watching' as a means of identifying new trends.

  19. Bullshit method on How the NSA Identified Satoshi Nakamoto (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Stylometry is a useless tool that works by racial and cultural stereotypes. Anyone with a half-decent education will stymie this system almost immediately.

    Take two students from the same school, whom have had the same classes, especially the language classes, right to the same teacher.

    Odds are quite high that they will phrase things quite similarly.

    As if this weren't evident enough in the amount of cheating that happens in middle and high school.

  20. Uh, yea, the story was even here on Slashdot back in.. 2009 was it?

    So you can go fuck yourself. :D

  21. Got news for ya.

    I've filed and won already using this method.

    Come back when you've got good legal experience. I took on Electronic Arts and won. When you can handle huge corporate lawyers, feel free to return to this conversation.

  22. Re:You're nobody. on Modest Proposal To Companies: Let Your Customers Respond To Your Emails - Kill no-reply@ (medium.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No-Reply is awesome, because it lets me send auto-replay e-mail based EULAs regarding how my E-mail is used. Violate it - your ass pays. You still received the contract.

    It's a nice lucrative thing since they're to scared to get their precious usage of EULA nullified. You just sue in Small Claims, they never show up, send the court-ordered payment to their company, get the check a few days later.
