  1. y tho? on Disc-Free Xbox One S Could Land on May 7 (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Seriously, does anyone even want this? Microsoft already faced huge backlash over trying to make XBox One online only. I thought it was obvious that consumers want at least the ability to play offline. The Disc-free console will be a break when Live is unavailable, which does happen occasionally. I guess this is better only that it's not the only option available.

  2. That's not always an option, especially if you live in a building that has an exclusive contract with Comcast.

  3. Security Theater to Be Slightly Less Inconvenient on Laptops To Stay in Bags as TSA Brings New Technology To Airports (bgov.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    would be a better headline.

  4. Re:I keep wondering why we don't legalize drugs on Dream Market, the Top Dark Web Marketplace, Will Shut Down Next Month (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm guessing there are at least a couple reasons to not legalize drugs: 1) Legalization would probably put a dent in big pharma profits 2) Legalization would give cops one less reason to pull over and arrest people.

  5. ? In this case I take it "whipping boy" means an entity that receives almost $3 million in subsidies.

  6. Re:What world do you live in? on "Liberated" Tunisia Still Censoring Websites · · Score: 1

    This post is about Tunisia, not Libra. Or am I missing something?

  7. Re:Cops Catch Criminal. Film at Eleven. on The FBI Has a Trojan To Watch You · · Score: 1
    That's not the point - local law enforcement doesn't need a warrant to use a gun.

    In this case, the FBI did catch a "bad guy". They needed a warrant to do it, however, because without it they set a legal precedent that they can install a trojan on anyone's machine.

  8. Re:so we're allowed to use racist language on /. ? on India Launches Its First All-Weather Spy Satellite · · Score: 1

    After I found out about this (through watching clips from Big Brother) I started watching my mouth, even though none of my Pakistani friends here in the US find the term offensive at all.

  9. Re:Now let the RIAA find replacements on Obama Taps a 5th Lawyer From the RIAA · · Score: 1

    If the lawyers were to make a truly clean break from their former associates in the RIAA, that would be good news. On the other hand, having Cheney become Vice President of the country seemed to immensely benefit his former employer Halliburton.

  10. Re:I looked... on Design Software Giants Target the Unemployed · · Score: 1

    "(hmm... Firefox says that "verifiably" isn't a word, but I looked it up, turns out it's a valid adverb form of "verifiable")"

    Can anyone verify this?

    It's not in Merriam-Webster, so I would say Firefox is correct in this particular instance.

  11. Re:Marketing MIA on Canonical Close To $30M Critical Mass; Should Microsoft Worry? · · Score: 1

    This is most assuredly the best comment I've ever read on this site.

  12. Re:Second life sim on Gaza Debate Goes Virtual · · Score: 1

    This really should be modded 'Ironic,' as someone is posting as 'Coward' while calling others 'cowardly.'
