Comment Re:Story is BS. Make it Right cards aren't that bi (Score 2) 131

This also makes this community look really uninformed. The first sight of anything about Comcast and people just start saying random bullshit.

It's my understanding - I heard this from a guy that had a roommate who worked in a Comcast call center - that once a week, they have a "motivational" meeting where fresh babies are sacrificed and eaten.

The thing only costs $200, Their cartridges cost $25 for a 120 use cartridge. At 2 uses/day that's 6 cartridges/year -- so you're paying 75% of the cost of the unit in a year just for the cartridges.

I think if Rolls Royce dealers charged $150K each year for required maintenance on a $200K Rolls Royce, there'd be few people getting service at the dealer.

I assume you gave up your ink-jet printer for a color lasar?

If you're already using something that works (and who isn't), what's the motivation to change?

As much as the Slashdot Hardcore might hate it, .NET has a huge presence in "enterprise" software and IT. It behooves one to know something about it, it's a popular too that might get you a job... On the other hand, there are many still on the Java boat.

Really, it's Regal Cinemas that's spineless. Sony didn't have much choice once so many theaters pulled out

Sony has a lot of pull with theatre chains, who need Sony to push the "blockbusters" their direction first. If Sony had wanted this film in theatres, it would have been in theatres.

For example, why was the CIA meeting with Sony just a month prior to this happening? [link to Radaronline.com]

Ah, yes, Radaronline. An excellent journalistic news site right up there with the Washington Post and the New York Times, especially if you are interested in the latest buzz about Kim Kardashian's ass, and what Justin Bieber is up to. It's my "go-to" site for factual news about international politics!

The more this unravels the more I smell false flag.

Who had something to gain? Has there been an extortion of cash, a request for payments? No, simply a specific demand to shit-can a specific movie that a specific party has already made bellicose threats over.

Nobody else but the North Koreans have anything at all to gain, except maybe Seth Rogen, now that everyone wants to see his shitty movie that otherwise would have faded away within two weeks of the premier.

But again, who has already made threats over this film?

The more this unravels the more the conspiracy nuts will come out of the woodwork.

I predict that as the "security researchers" work their way through the evidence, the North Koreans will indeed be revealed to be the culprits who have effectively unleashed this unfunny worthless film on the public.

Comment Re:Incompetence vs Conspiracy (Score 0) 236

Do not attribute to a conspiracy that which can be adequately explained by incompetence -- especially if you won't show your evidence of said conspiracy. The company that thought a Root Kit was a good idea does seems to be lacking something in the competence department.

Which only means that it is possible that they made it easy for the North Koreans.

Of course the North Koreans deny it, why wouldn't they?

In the weeks to come, the evidence will come to light, but the smoking gun is already coming from that direction.
