  1. Re:Wigner's friend on More Than One Reality Exists (in Quantum Physics) (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    I care, but I'm not smart enough in particle physics to know what to search for. Would you give *me* links?

  2. They won't use the whois search, they'll use the information they just hid.

    This isn't hard to figure out.

    Because they don't want sterilization and want kids in the future?

  4. I still play wow classic on illegal servers and unreal tournament 1999 on steam lol

    You should check out Project 1999. Everquest as it was back in the day.

  5. Surely I can't be the only one who doesn't "get" what the fuss is about. Anybody? Bueller...?

    I'm not a fortnite fan, but games like this are so much more fun with a group. You drop in duo or quads and build. You have voice chat to keep the long runs entertaining and you have friends able to get you back up if you die. I actually enjoy myself some solo PUBG, couldn't get into fortnite. Of course, I only play a game or 2 of PUBG per week, so I'm not their target market.

    I missed a bit of my sarcasm tag there. The Lawyers rate you as unsuitable, not that you're actually unsuitable.

    I remember when I had an XBOX subscription.
    Guess what Microsoft decided to when it got hacked? They entirely cut off access for almost 2 fucking months straight!
    I will never willingly purchase another Microsoft product ever again.

    *CITATION NEEDED.
    In 2011 the PSN (Playstation Network) was cracked and was down for 23 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
    The longest outage for Xbox Live wasn't a complete outage, but rather a lack of capacity over the 2007-2008 holiday season which had connectivity issues for a period of 13 days.
    But Xbox live has never been down for "2 fucking months straight!"

  10. Re:Hypocrite on Trump Accuses Social Media Firms of 'Silencing Millions' (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    I know you're AC here and this is likely a useless response, but there is a difference. Trump's twitter account is considered an official government method of communication. As such, people being blocked from reading it is unconstitutional. It's not the same when the reverse occurs because the reverse isn't an official government method of communication.

  11. First my fire tablet, now my entire livelyhood on Amazon Wants You To Start a Business To Deliver Its Packages (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    First they want to turn my fire tablet into an echo, and now they want me to change careers and become an echo for them? This is outrageous, I will not stand for this, oooh, 2 day shipping.

  12. When the OS was released is irrelevant. When the OS was no longer supported is the only thing that matters. You could get Windows XP with patches until April 8, 2014. I know people installing XP right up until that date. It's not *17* years old, it's 4 years out of support. It is a nitpick, but I feel a valid one. You could seriously have a 4 year old PC with Windows XP on it. The PC you have is going to be at least a year out of support if not 3 years, and the OS is 4 years out of support. This isn't a 17 year out of support OS, it's a 4 year out of support OS. In this instance, I feel Steam & all other software programs should have put a hard date of April 8 2014 for EOL on Windows XP.

  13. You just an OS that's not 17 years old to run it on.

  14. Re:Played correctly, the US has an advantage on US' Proposed China Tariffs Would Target Robotics, Satellites (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    What I said was: 1. Prior to WW1, the US Federal government relied primarily on tariffs.

    I'm sorry, but in the parent to the person responding to you you did NOT say that. You said:

    A big part of the controversy so far as I can see if that there is a myth about "free trade"... that it is "the american way" and that "it actually exists anywhere". Historically, the US Federal Government funded itself principally from tariffs. This didn't really stop until the Cold War when very generous trade deals were offered as an inducement for fence sitting nations to join the "first world".

    His response that it wasn't the Cold War, pointing out that in 1937 10 years prior to the cold war. I do not see that as a straw man at all. The changes occurred during the great depression, not as a part of the cold war. What have we mis-read from your post? Link to your post is here: https://hardware.slashdot.org/...

    I'm sorry, but if "In any case, none of these revelations prove that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton participated in a quid pro quo agreement to accept payment for approval of the Uranium One deal." is not a statement of fact, then show me where it was proven that those revelations showed Clinton participated in a quid pro quo.

    I like how you quoted everything in that big fat correction except the last sentence. Since it appears your computer can't handle a full paragraph worth of copy/paste, I'll paste it here for you:

    They need to have a season showing how to make something. A merlin engine for example, episode one starts with smelting the ore, episode 2 making the tools to make the tools, episode 3 is bolts and nuts, episode 4 is another piece. You miss episodes 5 and 6 and you're like where the heck did that piston ring come from?

    Interestingly enough, a lot of the old history channel stuff is up on youtube. I've been more and more been considering dropping my netflix account, since it's less than 10% of my watch time. I'm at about 60% youtube channels and 40% hulu. I don't think this price increase will cause me to drop it though, there are still netflix originals I enjoy.
