Slashdot videos: Now with more Slashdot!

Heheh :)

In my experience Win 7 runs better than XP on the same hardware. Even on 512MB of RAM. Anecdotes mean nothing of course, but that's my experience.

Tried it. Deleted a file. It immediately disappeared. Just like it always does.

It exists, and will continue to exist, long after all casually arrogant slashdot armchair blowhards have passed into oblivion. :)

A lot of people like a fresh look. It's a fairly natural thing. In this instance, I would say the new icons are fugly. They look like I did them in five minutes in MSPaint. If that's what they were going for, then bravo. I'm not going to criticize the changing of the icons in general, because well - if it worked that way, cars would look the same as they did in the 60s and Windows 10 would be a higher-rez Win 3.x

Cool - what has alternative thinking been telling us? I think I missed that memo. Does it involve tin foil in any way?

That chip on your shoulder. You shouldn't make it quite so obvious.

I prefer spherical songs. Too bad I don't have a few more genes than the rest of you or I would've written one.

I think us mere mortals can only attempt to imagine the myriad things we do with our cars right now that Apple knows we don't really need them to do. I have a work iPhone that I just realised the other day cannot be used as a convenient way of transferring a file when you don't have anything else handy (well, not fucking easily). But then, Apple knows what's best for me - I don't really need to use the phone like that, do I? I'll find some other way. Or install iTunes. Or whatever you're meant to do to get it to "allow" you to use its storage for your own ends, rather than its ends.

The rotation rates of stars in the outer edge of a galactic disk is inconsistent with your theory that all the missing matter is in the black hole. The distribution is likely to be spherical and possibly larger than the galaxy in extent.

Stars on the outskirts of a galactic disk have been observed to orbit in around the same time as the inner ones. This means there is more mass in the galaxy that we can see. Something like an order of magnitude more. Feel free to dismiss it as an assumption if you like, but I don't see your alternative explanation. Your casually ignorant arrogance is sadly really typical of this place.

Nature creates collisions in the atmosphere (cosmic rays) that are many orders of magnitude more powerful than anything at the LHC, and has been doing so since as long as the earth existed. No black holes yet. :)

These wondrous 'immersive' Ad experiences I'm getting on Facebook. What a pile of shit. lol

You can also reduce crime rates by getting rid of stupid laws that punish people for stuff they put in themselves. For such a 'free' society yanks don't half have a a hard-on for authority, and abuse of it.

This isn't Highlander. You realise there can be more than one asshole right? Putin is a fucking de-facto dictator at this point. The Russians, by and large, are pathetic for not opposing his power grabs.
