Comment Bury new releases (Score 1) 93

"On a storefront that goes to some lengths to bury new releases, and even buries pages where you can deliberately list new releases."

Steam front page:
Secondary heading: "Your Store"
Subheading includes: "New Releases Queue"

Secondary heading: "New & Noteworthy"
Subheading includes "New Releases"

This is just a crap article.

Comment Pause and out (Score 2) 227

i put my subscription on pause (means don't auto-renew) and won't be renewing. I hope they get the message.

Frankly, I don't get it. Why would not not do N-tier pricing where the top tier has no ads. It's not like that's hard to do. I guess they just think more folks will put up with 'ads for all' than not.

A long time ago there were editors without plugins or extensions. I don't know if emacs lead the way using lisp to make it all extensible, but back in the day, it was a fantastic way to make your editor more of an IDE.

Once you've written thousands of lines of lisp code to make your editor/IDE just the way you like it, why would you change?

Comment Re:When I hear "Air Conditioning", I think COLDER. (Score 1) 160

In a refrigerator or air conditioner, heat from the warmed-up fluid would be dispersed in the environment, while the cooled fluid would serve to keep the interior or the room cold. For heating, the heat pump would cool down the external environment, extracting heat from it to be pumped into the building.

It's a standard heat pump that uses ceramics instead of compressors. Which is .. cool.

Comment Really!? (Score 4, Funny) 57

Are they planning on announcing, or are they just thinking about it? Because if they're really planning on announcing it then that's super huge news. But if they're just thinking about it then we should probably hold off until they're really planning on announcing that there is going to be a GTA VI some time in the future.

Wow. That'd be news indeed. But only if they're really planning on announcing.

You're probably American.

I am! To be fair, I don't much follow cars (har har), and it coulda been any number of manufacturers here or abroad.

Mostly I was peeved that the summary didn't even mention.

Now that folks have pointed out that MG is the shadow of the old British car company, it does ring a bell. Cute little cars is my mind's image. This ain't that.

Submission + - With a New Commissioner, FCC Finally May Try to Reinstate Net Neutrality (gizmodo.com)

AsylumWraith writes: Gizmodo reports on the possibility of the FCC reinstating Net Neutrality:

"It’s been six years since internet service providers were granted a boon allowing them to push and pull the levers of internet speeds for any website that may not want to pay a ransom. The end to limitations of what is called net neutrality has tugged at the heartstrings of many internet advocates

According to unnamed sources who spoke to Bloomberg, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission is just about ready to announce plans to bring back net neutrality rules. It comes just a few weeks after Congress finally approved new commissioner Anna Gomez, allowing for a 3-2 Democrat majority on total FCC decision-making."
