  1. OMG, it was so hard to remove the magazine by holding it down for 1 second and trashing it. I think I'll install a different launcher because that's too hard!

  2. No. They gave us the finger.

  3. I've never done drugs but I would never work for the FBI, especially with the last 2 directors at the helm.

  4. Re:In Canada.... on VPN Blockade Backlash Doesn't Hurt Us, Says Netflix (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Adfreetime automated this and they have confirmed that they are no longer going to attempt to route around Netflix.

  5. And Judaism to some extent is probably based on Zoroastrianism.

    You honestly think Feinstein is a Christian?

    Preachers aren't allowed to tell you how to vote silly. They listen to Fox News. That's why they're rallying behind Trump, even though he is less of a Christian than Hilary.

    "I've voted Democrat since 1961 and I'm not changing now..."

  9. Re:Dropping Vista support?? on Chrome 50 Updates Push Notifications, Drops Support For Old Windows and OS X Versions (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    You can do any sort of speed test you want on Vista and then upgrade to Windows 7 IN PLACE and that same speed test will be improved. This is true regardless of Vista or Windows 7 version, because they rewrote the kernel for 7 removing tons of dead code and increased the multi-threading that the OS does by default.

  10. Audacity is free and works on every platform. As soon as you learn its (admittedly clunky) interface, you will never be tied down again.

  11. The same could be said for Climate Change and Evolution...

    Same. I pay $100 a month for 4 lines of 2.5 GB of data (which is virtually unlimited because audio and video don't count). The 4 phones are bought on time so they add another $90 a month, which ends in about 11 months. After that, we can see who needs an upgrade or whether we can save money.

  13. Re:there are good reasons. just not many. on Sprint Quickly Pulls Video Ad Calling T-Mobile 'Ghetto' (fiercewireless.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess I am not a racist, but I like T-Mobile's ads and prices.

    This is my experience as well, almost exactly.

    How is this not a 5?

    This is a brilliant comeback, one of the top 5 I have ever seen in 20 years of Slashdot.

  16. I have a Galaxy S5 and it works great all over SoCal. Very fast internet connection all the time.

  17. Re:What a stupid bitch on Sprint Quickly Pulls Video Ad Calling T-Mobile 'Ghetto' (fiercewireless.com) · · Score: 1

    My first trip with T-Mobile data was this year, and I was driving up toward Tahoe from LA. I was WAY into the desert before it stopped working. I would be shocked if anything worked way out there (to their credit, my friend's AT&T still worked, but he pays double for 3 lines what I pay for 4).

  18. Re:Let them be on Putin Says Panama Papers Part of US Plot to Weaken Russia (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, as much as Putin has allegedly taken (and who knows, but I'm sure it's happening some), the fact is that the average Russian lives 100× better today than 25 years ago.

    Except there are Americans already listed and more to come. But don't let facts get in the way of your conspiracy theory.

  20. Re:Big surprise? on Putin Says Panama Papers Part of US Plot to Weaken Russia (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, all this time I couldn't figure out why Putin's name kept being mentioned when 1) he wasn't in there and 2) even if he had offshore funds, he's not the worst offender on the list by miles.

  21. Re:And out came the conspiracy theorists ... on Putin Says Panama Papers Part of US Plot to Weaken Russia (go.com) · · Score: 2

    My guess is that Putin is boss and lives in Russia forever, which means he basically has the entire resources of the state at his personal disposal. Why bother moving money overseas at all?

    It's good for dictators to have a backup plan...

  22. If you're careful to buy the right hardware, it just works...

  23. I had a Broadcom card that needed the flash reprogrammed.

    Sorry. But in my book, Snowden earned the right to say whatever he wants about future large document leaks and privacy issues.

    He already made $5 per TSA agent and I'm sure he charged them for shipping.
