  1. What is that? on "We Screwed Up," Says Reddit CEO In Formal Apology · · Score: 2

    Is it something like facebook or twitter? Don't us them either.

  2. Overpopulating on Why Our Brains Can't Process the Gravest Threats To Humanity · · Score: 1

    A first year biology student can explain how deer and wolf populations naturally balance each other. Nobody dares to discuss how humans' destruction of other species habitats threaten the existence of them and us together.

  3. Idiots on US Bombs ISIS Command Center After Terrorist Posts Selfie Online · · Score: 1

    And I'm not just talking about the one that took and posted the picture.

    If you are exploiting an intelligence source the last thing you want to do is let on that you are doing so.

  4. Not with a barge pole on Facebook Launches Internet.org Platform and Opens Up To More Developers · · Score: 1

    For all of you who "need" facebook, good luck suckers. I won't click on their links, I block their domains, scripts and even their iframes. Have fun.

  5. Eat that pinko fucks on Invasion of Ukraine Continues As Russia Begins Nuclear Weapons Sabre Rattling · · Score: -1, Troll

    All you little commie Snowden lovers should be volunteering to fight for you Russian motherland.

    Latest version of Google Wallet, which runs on Android 2.3 or newer.

    Under: Where can I use Google Wallet in-store?
    "You can tap to pay using the Google Wallet app on select NFC-enabled Android device anywhere contactless payments are accepted, which includes hundreds of thousands of merchant locations in the United States."

  8. Re:How safe? on How Safe Is Cycling? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Listen to this and believe it. I have lived in Key West since 1990 and sold my last fuel burner in 1995. I have a "grocery getter" bike with big baskets and a lean and fast bike for getting somewhere quickly or running my dog. I stop at traffic lights and stop signs, obey one way streets and respect car traffic while not expecting the same in return. However, I am in the minority and am fully aware of that.

    Most bicyclists do not think that road rules apply to them whether they are tourists or locals. Looking both ways when crossing a one way street has saved me from many accidents. Drivers don't see you, especially when they are talking on their phones. Bike lanes are not respected. It is up to you as a cyclist to anticipate the other guy doing something stupid and unexpected. They surely will.

    Having driven motorcycles for many years prior to moving here I already had this mind set and it helped a great deal.

  9. Sheeple on Facebook Launches Advanced AI Effort To Find Meaning In Your Posts · · Score: 1

    You keep on posting and you keep on complaining about being exploited. You are considered "bitches" (his word not mine) and you won't stop lapping up the koolaid.

    Break the bonds or shut up. Yeah, go ahead and mod me down all you FB slaves.

    Enough said.

  13. Fashion brands on Apple Hires CEO of Yves Saint Laurent To Head Special Projects · · Score: 0

    What is surprising here? They are both brands that rely on fashion over substance.

  14. I read A LOT of books on Judge Thinks Apple Will Lose E-Book Price-Fixing Case · · Score: 2

    When ebooks first became available I thought that this was a great opportunity to have access to more of them for a cheaper price. After all, the costs of printing and distributing them is reduced to practically zero. Granted, there are still editing and some other minor costs, but very little in the scheme of things. But before I actually purchased an ebook reader I watched the costs of the books for a while. Quickly it became clear that a dead tree version was almost always cheaper than the ebook version and once I had it, nobody could take it away on a whim or technicality. Suffice it to say that I never bought an ebook or a reader, but I still buy, read and enjoy plenty of great books.

    Screw you, you greedy bastards.

  15. April Fools on A New Benefit For Logged-In Readers: Meet Slashdot's ROT13 Initiative · · Score: 0

    C'mon, check the date people.

    Let's go old school on his ass.

  17. It wasn't GNOME 3 on GNOME: Staring Into the Abyss · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The day that Miguel abandoned it and handed the reins to Havoc was the day the music died. That was the start of a downward spiral that never ended. What was the users' DE became Czar Havoc's DE. Shortly thereafter I switched to XFCE and never looked back.

  18. Try that in Texas on Man Who Protested TSA By Stripping Is Acquitted By Judge · · Score: 1

    I think we would see an entirely different outcome. Pick any other Bible Belt state if you like.

  19. Oh the irony on Facebook "Like" System Devalued By Fake Users · · Score: 1

    The bots that create and operate these fake user accounts are probably smarter than the average real facebook user.

  20. Fuck off Apple on Apple Tells Retailers To Stop Selling Certain Samsung Devices · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't buy your crap if it was the last...

    Oh wait. I would buy your crap if it was the last choice, but not if there was a single other choice.

  21. Draw a rectangle, on Apple Transitions Hardware Leadership · · Score: 2

    round the corners, add a button or two and file a patent.

  22. Then do something about it on Protecting State Secrets Through Copyright · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is full of mouthy hypocrites that have never held a security clearance. Nobody gets drafted, there are only volunteers and the vetting process is gruelling. So, all of you opinionated nobodies feel free to apply and then the 1% that actually get accepted betray the oath you have taken to get there. I am all for the death penalty for treason.

  23. This answers the question. Of course, everyone knew this already.

  24. I have mod points on The Phantoms of Google+ · · Score: 0

    But there is no -1 moron.

  25. My dog.. on Reinventing the Clapper With a Knock-Based Home Automation Controller · · Score: 1
