Comment Sad but not surprising... (Score 1) 840

I personally don't care about reviews. It's always made me laugh a little. "Yes, I want to know what other think about said movie, game, etc. so I can determine if it's going to be enjoyable to me." I've watched movies or played games that absolutely bombed the review sites but I absolutely loved them. If I solely relied on reviews before I played a video game or watched a movie, I'd have far more time for cleaning the house, doing dishes, mowing the yard, etc. :)

I've personally started avoiding reviews for movies I haven't watched or games I haven't played. If I talk to a friend who's played/watch said product, I'll listen and find out what they truly loved/hated about it but review sites... pass until I try it for myself.

When I read this article, it made me sad that there are people out there like this. They seem to get some relief by trashing a product. It doesn't matter if the product is any good or has value to another person. There's too many comic book movies, lets trash this movie. This game wasn't made on my preferred video game console, let's trash it. It's just sad to see.

I have three computers that I use a lot. Any one of them could be my main computer on any given day. I have a home PC, a home iMac, and a work PC. My home PC runs Windows 10, Fedora, Debian, Solaris, Slackware, and I use VMWare for some VMs that I put test installs on to try new/beta OS's. My iMac runs OS X(or is it just MacOS now with the current beta?), and my work PC runs Windows 7 but I VNC into a Linux server for a lot of my stuff. So, I guess my vote should be "It's complicated". ;)

Dying Man Shares Unseen Challenger Video 266

longacre writes "An amateur video of the 1986 Space Shuttle Challenger explosion has been made public for the first time. The Florida man who filmed it from his front yard on his new Betamax camcorder turned the tape over to an educational organization a week before he died this past December. The Space Exploration Archive has since published the video into the public domain in time for the 24th anniversary of the catastrophe. Despite being shot from about 70 miles from Cape Canaveral, the shuttle and the explosion can be seen quite clearly. It is unclear why he never shared the footage with NASA or the media. NASA officials say they were not aware of the video, but are interested in examining it now that it has been made available."

Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi 428

Scyth3 writes "A man is suing his neighbor for not turning off his cell phone or wireless router. He claims it affects his 'electromagnetic allergies,' and has resorted to being homeless. So, why doesn't he check into a hotel? Because hotels typically have wireless internet for free. I wonder if a tinfoil hat would help his cause?"
