How can they expect poor thirsty rats to sync their brains?

It's not similar at all. This one has a fucking core i7. Macbook does not compare at all.

Chrome on android is a horrible piece of software. Samsung has done wonders with the 'Internet' browser on S6. It's the fastest browser on any mobile device, if you believe some reviewers. Use that instead of chrome. The only advantage chrome has is the sync with desktop chrome.

Slashdot is always there for me. I got lost for a while in reddit. Now I'm back for good. Even though the news is old here, the interactions are less frequent but it's still interesting.

It's almost like a weather prediction service that tells you the exact opposite of the day's weather with 100% accuracy.

This is the real problem, in both reddit's and /.'s case. These 'business-people' have no idea of how a community works, what free-speech actually is and they cannot understand any behavior that is not selfish. The very fact that people are ready to volunteer time and effort into a community they love is confusing to them. They think that people like this are idiots. They hate them. They just want to monetize the phenomenon as much as they can and get out of this crap.

You're clicking it wrong.

Note that apart from a blog post, we haven't seen a single action to confirm this. It might as well turn out to be hot air.

BZZZZT! Comparing a 20 year old OS to bleeding edge Linux distros is stupid. Try the Win 10 (almost nightly) builds and experience an install experience than any Linux build.

Nexus 7 only allows you to delay the update. But after a hard cut-off date, the update *will* happen. I learned that the hard way when I didn't allow it to update and it turned on cellular data and downloaded a gigabyte of updates that didn't amount to any improvements, and charging me money too.

Glad to hear that NASA can still do science properly!

It's youtube, you can just click on it and it'll play. Why do you wanna use another player?

This is truly tragic. A multi-process firefox will make me ditch chrome so fast that google's ai bots won't know what hit 'em.

I do agree that /. is a shadow of its former self, but I can't quite put my finger on it. What makes it less fun now than ~2-5 years ago? As long as I avoid the occasional switch to beta, the site itself seems fine. Although maybe the comments have dried up a bit. But I dunno why.
