  2. Re:700 acres??? on Zuckerberg Sues Hundreds of Hawaiians To Force Property Sales To Him (msn.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    "640 acres should be enough for anybody" - Bill Gates

  3. sheesh! what is zuckerburg trying to do? start his own country? even if i was a billionaire i would not want more than maybe 1 square mile, heck i could find plenty of privacy in 20 acres of back wood land in rural montana or wyoming, build a nice warm mansion that looks like a GIANT log cabin in where it cant be seen from the nearby roads, and put up a chainlink fence around it topped with razor wire, and motion detectors & security cams

  4. i will stick with slackware, and keep an eye on the other surviving non-systemd distros

  5. too bad firefox is bloatware on Mozilla's New Logo Reminds Us that It Is, In Fact, a Web Firm (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    while palemoon (fork of old firefox version) performs better. i switch between palemoon and chromium depending on which websites i visit, mozilla should do a spinoff of firefox and make a lightweight version, what is ironic is firefox used to be a lightweight version of the original browser made from the mozilla/netscape code.

  6. The Note 7 might be a collectors item someday like rare coins or rare postage stamps

  7. i canceled after 3 months because direcTV was about half spam channels (home shopping & infomercials) and they said i had to pay for a whole year contract, i immediately called my credit card company and told them i lost the card and to refuse any future charges on it and send me a new card with a new number, that left directv out in the cold with a defunct card number so they cant rob me for a year's worth of payments

  8. you know what AT&T / DirecTV dont tell custome on AT&T Denies Refunds For DirecTV Now Customers, Despite the Service's Performance Issues (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    they dont tell new customers singing up that about half the channels with DirecTV is all home shopping channels! or some other sort if infomertials (spam) yup, that right when you buy DirectTV subscription you are basically paying them to spam you

  9. probably a few hundred bucks, lots of eyes pass by this website every day

  10. i bet slashdot got paid to allow this microsoft press release / slashvertisement to be posted on the front page,

    in other news i recommend users of any version of microsoft windows to make the switch to Linux for increased security and better privacy

  11. probably done by the competition on Hackers Corrupt Data For Cloud-Based Medical Marijuana System (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1

    it probably came from within the pharmaceutical industry, or they paid to have it done, medical marijuana is taking income away from the pharmaceutical industry. eventually the pharmaceutical industry will have to accept marijuana as a legitamite product and should consider making remedies with the active ingredients of marijuana

  12. Re:this gives me an idea on The Flying Lily Camera Drone is Dead, Buyers Will Be Refunded (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    as a warning, i dont do those things. rather i want people to be aware those things do happen, if i can think of them just think of the ideas real criminals come up with.

  13. i always hated tape on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    all formats, reel to reel, 8-track, cassettes, etc...

    tapes can stretch, sooner or later something is going to hang up and you will have stretched tape, with the exception of computer files CD/DVD is the only way to go, just keep them clean & dry and always keep them in their jackets when not in use so they dont get scratched

  14. this gives me an idea on The Flying Lily Camera Drone is Dead, Buyers Will Be Refunded (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    get a startup going with a clever idea, use a GoFundMe or some sort of Kickstarter financing website to collect funds for my clever idea project, dont build anything and collect millions of dollars, after the money sits in a bank for a while make a press release that the project failed and investors have to send a self-addressed stamped envelope for a refund, send all those that send a SASE a refund, keep the rest of the money plus the interest it made while sitting in the bank which could be many thousands of dollars

  17. the OLEDs i seen are all big and expensive on 'OLED TVs Will Finally Take Off in 2017' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    like in 55' size and in the 5 thousand dollar range.
    i dont want a TV that big and i am not willing to spend more than a 2 or 3 hundred on a tv and i dont need a tv bigger than 24' to 36' max in size.
    i dont watch much TV anyway, i use a 24' LCD for a computer monitor, and get 6 stations over the air on an antenna.
    I would buy a OLED when they get in the size range and price range that i want

  18. looks like a feature to avoid now on LG Threatens To Put Wi-Fi in Every Appliance it Introduces in 2017 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

  19. i figured something like this would happen on Huawei Snubs Google, Ships An Android Phone With Alexa (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    since android is built on Linux and is (mostly) open source eventually google's dominance on android would meet competition sooner or later and it would take a big player with deep pockets to do it and Amazon is a player that meets those qualifications, maybe within a couple of years there will be android phones that gets system updates from Amazon, or maybe the Co-Op method of development where several hardware vendors and phone service carriers will all pitch in on the development of the OS and apps that goes in to their products

  20. play a little tit for tat on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Deal With A 'Gaslighting' Colleague? · · Score: 1

    and do the same thing back to them, only worse, hit them where it would cost them a lot of money like ordering a bunch of porn with the company credit card, all because they were trying to mess with my mind, and just before i left i would wipe all the harddrives on every computer i could get my hands on, and have them all booted with a live USB linux playing an infinite loop of some porno video, with a post-it note on each monitor sayng: "who is screwing who?"

  21. Re:Marsh gas on Chile's Goverment Announces Unexplainable 'UFO' Footage (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    there is obviously something to see, just that nobody identified it (yet) probably some stealth military aircraft = does not show up on radar but you can see it with your eyes

  22. i think it is time to put an end to this on WikiLeaks Threatens To Publish Twitter Users' Personal Info (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    declare war on Ecuador and raid that embassy he is holed up in, drag Assange off to some dungeon and let lock him up and let him rot

  23. Re:Longer range and more reliable reception on Norway To Become First Country To Switch Off FM Radio (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    of course you would have to redesign the radio receivers to use the narrower bandwidth, and i would suggest dropping stereo and just broadcast it in monoband, if someone wants higher fidelity they can go buy the CD/DVD of the music they like

  24. Re:Norway switching off FM ? on Norway To Become First Country To Switch Off FM Radio (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    nope, looks like the same FM broadcast frequencies, it is the mode of modulation is changed from analog FM-Wide to Digital Audio Broadcast

  25. Re:Less hiss and clearer sound on Norway To Become First Country To Switch Off FM Radio (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    analog FM broadcast signals are about 200 kilohertz wide, all they need to do is keep it analog and just change the bandpass to about 25 to 50 kilohertz wide and that would make room for more stations
