  1. "gross mischaracterization"

    He is literally hiding from the law.

  2. You fundamentally misunderstood the technology; partial solutions for partial rendering with interpolation is not 100% raytracing.

  3. Smaller than Netflix too on MoviePass' Low Subscription Price Just Got Lower (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Too bad Netflix's library dwindles each year

    Too bad a theatre can only show a dozen movies versus the thousands at Netflix, regardless of a "shrinking" library.

    lol.

  4. Re:Just Another Movie Studio on YouTube To Follow Amazon By Screening Its Movies Inside Theaters (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    ...just another movie studio.

    So? You could say the same about HBO & Netflix and they've both had huge successes.

    The difference is, HBO and Netflix are in the MOVIE BUSINESS.

    Youtube THINKS its in the Movie Business.

  5. We would have to... on Magic Leap Lifts the Curtains (A Little) (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Learn what AR is, how different it is compared to VR and then get your head out of your ass.

    ....actually give a shit about either in the first place. Bad assumption on your part.

  6. Sorry, not all of us want a thick phone.

    Bullshit.

    Everyone knows iTHICC is the best.

  7. Re:neo ? on YouTube Is Full of Easy-To-Find Neo-Nazi Propaganda (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not sexy, but I'm happy calling them 'hate groups'. A universal term

    I call them assholes -- much simpler, and also universal.

  8. I can see reading comprehension is a failure of yours.

    If there's no law against it and "OK" means "legal", then it means exactly that

    No, it doesnt.

    The law moves slower than society. Keep being an obtuse dick though.

    And words have only the power you give them. Sounds like you are butt hurt being called a moron, obtuse and a dipstick.
    Congrats, snowflake.

  9. Arrogant Prick on Flippy the Robot Takes Over Burger Duties At California Restaurant (ktla.com) · · Score: 1

    "It's not a fun job -- it's hot, it's greasy, it's dirty,"

    Actually, its quite fun. Did it many years going through HS and College.

    What is "not fun" are asshole CEOs who think they are above such 'jobs'.

  10. Not "don't care" entirely, but willing to make the trade. I'm a FB user too

    Good for you, and meaningless. Your anecdotal story is as useful as his.

    You seem very distressed by decisions that don't affect you.

    And you seem distressed by other people's opinions.

    You also seem pretty ignorant about how society works.

    Someone makes something new, people use or dont use, like or dont like. Over time, society decides if it is good or not, and where to put the levels of "use".

    Just because we haven't made a law for it yet, doesn't mean that because you agree with it, its an OK practice to do.

    That is an ignorant argument, and frankly, a giant straw man built on your opinion, for which you tried to lambast the other guy over.

  11. Most Americans have a choice of ISPs. The choice is between Bell (Verizon, AT&T, etc) or Cable.

    It is obvious, you dont live in America, or you are a paid shill.

    You can not even say "a lot" have a choice. Most have NO CHOICE.

    please go troll elsewhere.

    Try to search Youtube for "Kunt and the Gang Sexy Kids" and you won't find his duet with Jimmy Saville's ghost.

    Except... that is all I found.

  14. Re:We're so screwed. on China's Tencent Breaks Through $500bn Stock Market Capitalisation (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tencent's latest earnings (I can find) are 2.7 billion.

    PE ratio of 185!

    Who is screwed? Tencent's investors are screwed!

    If that's you, take your profits and RUN.

    Yeah, and? Their EPS as of Jun 2017 was 0.28. That means their PEG is around 660.

    How, exactly, is that not a huge growth indicator? lol.

  15. They are depressed not because of technology itself, but because that technology is used to bring you REALTIME NEWS. And surprise! The world is a cesspool of depression -- HUMAN ON HUMAN hate!

    Do we really need more beyond the fucking obvious fact that realtime news is fucking depressing, thus, it depresses people?

    By episode 6, its engaging and worth watching for sure.

    Thats your opinion. My wife even likes it, which is not true of any previous trek series.

    That should tell you 100% who its aimed at: NOT TREKKIES.

    Congrats for making our point.

  18. Kindly enlighten me as to the problem grammar.

    Shirley == you MEAN SURELY which is still a waste of a word (adverb). aint aint a word.

  19. As an an author, Shirley you can do better than introducing a straw man into the argument? The poster did not make comment about living authors, so it ain't reasonable to criticise him for your unsupported inference.

    He might, if he could understand your horrible spelling and grammar.

  20. Re:Dump Facebook on How Facebook Outs Sex Workers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    How? Purchasing datasets and mining them. That's how they connected this person to her clients. They didn't need any of their *own* data to do that.

    Moron, you missed the boat.

    If I am NOT ON FACEBOOK, they CANT SUGGEST TO ANYONE that they FRIEND ME, cause I CANT ACTUALLY ACCEPT SINCE I AM NOT ON FACEBOOK.

    Tomorrow, we can work on the alphabet.

    I would hope that if a capsule were stuck in the tube, they would have already shut it down.

    Exactly. They would turn it off -- pressurize, and blow hatches for people to escape.

  23. Re:Soft failure possible too on Ask Slashdot: What Would Happen If a Hyperloop Train Failed? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Similarly, what if the vacuum failed and the pod stopped in a low pressure section pipe in the middle of nowhere. The only way out if to wait for someone to figure out the exact location of the pod and cut you out. I've yet to see an estimate for how many hours (days?) you might be stuck in there in pitch blackness, likely getting cooked inside a metal tube sitting in the sun.

    Its this new fangled technology they call a HATCH DOOR every XYZ meters.

    Crazy tech.

  24. Re:Curious Shoppers? on Amazon's Whole Foods Price Cuts Brought 25 Percent Jump In Shoppers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    How many of those people were just checking out what actually changed prices? Let me know those numbers again in a few months, then I'll be impressed.

    Exactly this. We litearally live between 3 whole foods here in LA. We stopped shopping at them about a year after trying them.

    The prices were obnoxious. Now, they want to make the prices "normal". Ok, what other attraction is there for me to go there then?

    The only thing they seemingly marked down is produce, which I can get at a local bodega, to support my local community, or even at a box store when I get all the other things I NEED, rather than the WholeFoods branded Yuppie shit.

    25% uptick is most likely just that: People curious.
