Same here. I pay Netflix for ad free viewing.

I will stop paying for netflix when it's not ad free viewing.

Ads are meant to pay for shows. I should not be forced to pay to watch ads.

We cut the cord because of ads - not because we're willing to pay for ad free content. If comcast served up all of its content adfree - I'd jump right into comcast.

It's that simple.

Free TV can have ads.

Commercial free tv can charge for content.

This is what the consumer wants.

Yeah, /.'s lack of growth is sorta the point here.

I think he meant "rimshot" and it's the rim of the big swirly thing that flushes.

That sounds a lot like - "no, we're not going to listen, and yes, we're going to add the feature despite a request to allow the public to evaluate it."

I remember the days when I signed up for /. /. keeps changing, and the traffic keeps getting less and less.

When's the last time /. took down a site?

Prove it :) Make the poll about the poll, so we can vote.

AH HA! I have you then...

Timothy, don't get mad..

Can we rate the idea of a poll like this on /. with a poll and if it sucks can we do away with the feature entirely?

Nah, send them to the southside of chicago where almost 900 people have been shot, and soon to be a movie about "chiraq" because of the egregious amounts of black on black violence to the tune of 2800.

I'm hoping the people marching against cops will start marching in chicago after the recent shooting of a 4 year old - she caught a round in the head. Pretty sure she wasn't in a gang or deserving of the shot.

I live in the southside and hear the gunfire occasionally.

Here's the latest stats

Here's the latest atrocity

But yeah - the best efforts are focused on the occasional cop bit. Cause there's thousands of those (well not really - but it takes the sting out eh?)

The motorola Quantico or the kyocera dura XT are the dumbphones I've carried - I like riding my motorcycle year round - phones like those can take shock, water, being thrown against a wall and still work.

I've owned both and while I liked the Quantico better - US Cellular moved out of my region so I was forced to the dura XT on Sprint.

This is the reason why I never played any online games with blizzard.

As an adult, I can't spend the time required to see everything. I have to actually work and sleep.

I agree with them locking out people who cheat while playing online players. I disagree venomously with them locking out non online players for using all codes and hacks to play. They bought the game - if they want to be invulnerable during all phases of the game - then it should be allowed in single play.

It's unfortunate that the major game companies started focusing on metrics and statistics. If they just focused on making good games that were free from bowing to the company their profits would increase.

I thought Apple programming was totally free of viruses and hacking stuff?

Every American job they fire - is one less American's family income for Disney.

(that includes DVD's and theater and toys and well pretty much anything, but I'm sure the lower payed H1B's will pick up the slack and make more profit!!!)

I think there's a blurry line here.

I'll accept for the sake of argument that the ford pinto with the gas tank problem was statistically not a problem.

That being said, any corporation that accepts a casualty/loss over safety/loss deserves punitive damages. If it was your family in that wreck that killed them to save the corporation money - would you be as forgiving?

Millions of slashdot arguments flared up in Rage at that statement :) After all, Micro$oft security problems was well established on /. to be the fault of the OS - and not what the user did....

I've never had any issues with my Galaxy S5 - but then again, I shut apps off and discard them instead of installing stuff.

One was the original 386 dx 2 that was pretty nifty, and the next was the Acer Aspire - which sucked ass since it was actually a Packard bell when the company truly sucked at making a PC

http://www.pcworld.com/article...

I've been afraid of Acer ever since then. The next compputer I bought was Alienware - a p2-450 (pre-dell)- after that I started building my own.

Are Acer pc's any good now?
