Hmm, I thought all of Comcast's US residential service supported IPv6 now.

It does. Comcast's residential IPv6 deployment was completed last year. All residential customers should now be able to get IPv6 if they have a modem and computer/router that supports it.

The OP should check his equipment and work from there. With 100% deployment (well, nothing is ever 100%, he could be that one guy), he should be able to get IPv6.

Depends on if the US air force can independently verify that what they whacked was actually a terrorist HQ.

... and whether or not the moron was on-premises when it was bombed. If not, you might have to wait for the beheading video before nominating him.

Anybody using a selfie-stick should be bombed into oblivion.

Well done US military, in cleaning up that particular corner of the gene pool.

As a result of this, I've been looking for a slashdot alternative, since I expect Dice to wreck this site as well in the not to terribly distant future. Sad, because I've been here for years.

Anyway, Soylent News looks promising:

https://soylentnews.org/ ... anyone have any other suggestions? Kiro5hin looked good at one time, but went full-bore political.

Uh, ever heard of decimal places?

Yes, they're annoying. They take things out to 3 digits past 50F and we have to deal with how other systems use commas instead of periods.

The problem is that not long after Win 10 goes live, MS will cutoff the show listings, effectively killing the live TV feature.

Huh? Microsoft has announced no such thing. Media Center is a part of Win7/8 and will be supported as part of the OSes for their respective lifecycles.

Is that a US style "world" cup? so that would include a few US states right?

Not true! We'll probably allow one or two Canadian cities to play along, to give the World Cup(tm American Soccar League) "that international" feel.

Are these the same robots that seem to be spamming my inbox with UberEATS and other crap? I've already dumped Uber for Lyft because they've decided they have the right to spam everyone in my contact list in my name, but that hasn't slowed them down any.

This behavior should get SourceForge blacklisted as both cyber-squatters and adware, possibly malware vendor.

I agree 100%. 10 years ago sourceforge was a great site. Now it's basically a malware haven. Unfortunately, plugins like Web of Trust (WoT) seem to have been slow to catch up ... WoT is still marking sourceforge as green ("trusted"). Perhaps blackholing the site in DNS really is the best answer...

Yes, I'd say it got better. As for the finale, it was a soft cliffhanger, so not everything is resolved but it doesn't end on a bad place.

I suspect the parent means the comments attached to TFA, not the comments here at Slashdot.

Well at least it is a dry heat.

Actually it's not, that's the problem. The humidity is around 30% during the day, which may not sound like a lot, but at 47C that's a heat index of over 55C! That's well into the extreme danger zone, you will get heat stroke extremely easy, even without being in the sun. And then of course the humidity will jump up during the night, so it may only be 30C outside, but the heat index is still in the 40s.

This weather is a very nasty combination of heat and humidity. You're basically looking at a sauna at times. Which is all well and good when you can leave the sauna, but even in the best of health the human body struggles to deal with these kinds of heat indexes over an extended period of time.

What if it's a smear job on Take Two? At taxpayer expense?

1. This isn't at taxpayer expense. It is at television owners' expense. Only people with televisions have to pay the television license that funds the BBC, not all taxpayers. To conflate the two is disingenuous.

2. So what if it is inaccurate or a smear job. That is part of having a free press: the right to get it wrong (and if you do, be eviscerated and/or humiliated by everyone else). The BBC has a very good record and deservedly good reputation, because despite the occasional imperfection, by and large their reporting and documentaries are first rate.

This lawsuit is an attempt to undermine the free press and apply inappropriate pressure to the editorial process, and frankly, Rockstar and Take Two deserve a severe smackdown for trying to do so, irrespective of the program's content.

In a nutshell, what they're saying is:

"If we can't control your editorial content in reporting about or dramatizing our behavior, we're going to sue you in an attempt to make it not worth your while to report on or dramatize our behavior"

Fuck them. I hope the BBC has the backbone to stick up to this sort of corporate bullying. If the show isn't flattering to Take Two, they can suck it up like anyone else.
