  1. I suspect this is where the 1 in a million successful dropout screams, but I make 6 figures! College is bad! OMG, don't waste your time or mommy's money.

  2. Hooray nerds on CNET Warns 'Everything Looks Like A Hack' At DEFCON (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Vandalism is so cool. Sounds like a bunch of douche bags to me. Has Defcon even been worth a shit in the last 10 years?

  3. Re:Lefties hate this tax too on Oregon Passes First Statewide Bicycle Tax In Nation (washingtontimes.com) · · Score: 1

    and not because we want to shave the whales.

    Most awesome auto-correct/typo ever!

  4. Darn, I'm late! on Fake Online Stores Reveal Gamblers' Shadow Banking System (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    As a former online poker player, I shed a tear or two when it was darn near impossible to deposit money in my account. If I only would have known about these schemes I would still be playing.

  5. So true. If the application isn't in the bottom launch bar, it takes forever to find how to launch the darn thing. Forget about installing something. Is it on the Desktop, the Launcher, or the Applications directory? I'm a Mac fan, but it does make it hard to do simple things.

  6. Re:In other related news... on Time Warner Will Spend $100 Million On Snapchat Original Shows, Ads (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously. What a dumb idea. Is anyone over 15 years old even on SnapChat?

  7. Re: Office space on IBM is Telling Remote Workers To Get Back in the Office Or Leave (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Sounds freakin' great! LMFAO Maybe a fresh graduate wouldn't mind the unassigned seating, but anyone with half a brain would run for the hills. Lockers? BWHAHAHA, what is this, Walmart?

  8. Let me live on your tax free planet. 100K/year = ~5000 (ish) per month once uncle sam gets his cut. No way a family of 4 could live semi-decently (not in the ghetto) on a paltry 100K.

  9. Re:As a customer of both Amazon and Wal-Mart on Amazon and Walmart Are In An All-Out Price War That Is Terrifying Big Brands (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I'm tired of these town centers popping up everywhere. Let's tear down a perfectly good mall and put a bunch of hipster stores outside and call it a town center. I'm all for our 2 day shipping overlords to put the latest trendy coffee shop out of business in those retarded town centers.

  10. $105K for 3 zero days for the VMWare escape sounds hideously low. I bet those guys could get 10x that amount 'somewhere else'.

  11. Re:Buy AMD & Support a Healthy CPU Marketplace on Intel Reacts To AMD Ryzen Apparently Cutting Prices On Core i7 And i5 Processors (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Dead on. I haven't used an AMD CPU in probably 15+ years as they haven't been competitive with Intel. I get that all the neckbeards want to stick it to the man (Intel), but frankly, Intel's offerings have kicked AMDs ass nine ways to Sunday. I'd rather spend a few bucks to get an awesome CPU that lasts a few years (i7-4770K still kicking) than an inferior, slower product.

  12. Re:Proof of Throttling? on AT&T Is the Latest Carrier To Offer Unlimited Data For All Its Customers (phonedog.com) · · Score: 1

    The average ATT store employee has NO CLUE.

    So true. I was investigating weird ATT data usage on my account so I brought in a spreadsheet with dates and data usage. The usage column was in kbps and I got in an argument with the worker-drone as to what those numbers mean in MB. This dude turned to the "manager" with a quizzical look on his face and the manager tried to argue with me as to what a MB was.

    Both of them had zero idea what I was talking about and I lost all respect for the people they employ in their retail locations.

  13. Re:only have second hand knowledge on Amazon Now Has More Than 341,000 Employees -- Added 110,000 People Last Year (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    What does abusing mean here? Are they beating their workers with sticks? I'm not sure why an adult would work somewhere when they are being allegedly treated like that.

  14. Re:It isn't a good deal on 'OLED TVs Will Finally Take Off in 2017' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Cough plasma cough. My gracefully aging 50" plasma does true black very nicely.

  15. where do I sign up? on Slashdot Asks: Would You Like Early Access To Movies And Stop Going To Theatres? · · Score: 1

    I don't care about early access but would gladly pay for the chance to enjoy now running movies in the comfort of my home.

  16. Facebook still sucks on Facebook Is Bringing Games Like Pac-Man, Space Invaders To Messenger and Your News Feed (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    As a medium to old fart, I enjoy Space Invaders and Pac Man. Still won't get me even close to that cesspool known as Facebook. No thanks!

  17. Dual boot is so 2000 on Boot Camp Might Damage Speakers on 2016 MacBook Pro (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    With virtual machines, why not run Windows in a VM. The last time I dual-booted was way back with Windows 2000 and 98 or some shit.

  18. Re:I'm still flying my Phantom 3 on DJI Unveils Phantom 4 Pro and Inspire 2 Drones (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Same here. I'm tempted to pull the trigger on these new-fangled drones, but my Phantom 3 Advanced is flying just fine.

  19. Re:It's on its way to get canceled on Alphabet's 'Project Wing' Drone Service Nixes Starbucks Partnership (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Good for Starbucks. I bet Google wanted every single bit of customer information and Starbucks balked (or at least that's how it appears).

  20. Re:Typing with a Russian accent on NSA Hackers The Shadow Brokers Dump More Files (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah right, 500 TB of data and stuff stored in his house, car and shed. Sounds like an honest mistake to me. :|

  21. The NFL doesn't want them not because they are Surface tablets, but because looking at paper photographs is easier than dealing with any tablet.

  22. Re:That's absurd. All Macs & iPhones have blue on Apple's New MacBook Pro Requires a $25 Dongle To Charge Your iOS Device (networkworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Maybe instead of connecting via magic, it's using the connection power of courage?!

  23. Water is wet and working in a cubicle farm sucks! Poor bastards. Been working remotely for 3+ years and there's no way in hell I would ever voluntarily go back to working in a germ infested office. The best part was a lady who used to clip her fingernails in an open office setting.

  24. Shoot, Comcast is probably 1% worried about Google messing up their equipment and 99% worried about Google stealing Comcast's precious customers. Let's be honest here, Comcast doesn't give a shit if there stuff works, but as soon as Google shows up with an alternative, Comcast all of a sudden cares? Riiiiight.
