  1. Code compiled for x86 won't run on ARM? on Windows 8 ARM Will Not Support Legacy Software · · Score: 0

    In related news, no shit, sherlock.

  2. Re:That's what Pariser described on The Rise of Filter Bubbles · · Score: 1

    Not clicking on them doesn't mean you're not interacting with them. Here's an example: there's a bunch of /. articles where I just read the summary of the article on the front page, without clicking through to read the comments.

    Does that mean I want slashdot to stop showing me story summaries in the genres I'm not actively clicking on? No, absolutely not.

  3. Re:Future cars on Ford Uses Google For a New Type of Smart Car · · Score: 1

    Also, get off of my lawn.

  4. Re:Future cars on Ford Uses Google For a New Type of Smart Car · · Score: 1

    The best car will have an engine with a flat torque curve, high amounts of available torque, a high redline, a manual gearbox, a limited slip diff, rear wheel drive, and only enough computing power to manage the engine and other critical mechanical systems.

  5. Re:Memory Part? on Mystery Air Crash Black Box Found Sans Memory Part · · Score: 2

    "Our family has a cottage in the middle of nowhere and all the neighbours are nice, but that doesn't stop my urban dwelling brother from obsessively locking his car. I keep asking him if he's worried about the raccoons taking midnight joyrides."

    Habits die hard. And I'd rather be in the habit of always locking my car, than getting into the habit of leaving it unlocked, and someday having it bite me in the ass when I move back into an urban setting.

    Yes, door locks won't prevent a dedicated thief from entering. Same way a lock on an apartment door in a big city won't prevent it. But it will keep the casual assholes out, and that's most people.

  6. Re:Facebook isn't "Social" on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 1

    How's it not social? You can use it to plan social events.

    I mean, seriously. Think of Facebook as a big interactive phonebook that you use to plan the details of social events with other people. You might say that there's a lack of privacy; fine; put your non-private communication on facebook for the convenience, and use other channels for private data.

  7. Last time, baby on NASA Readies Discovery Shuttle For Final Flight · · Score: 1

    I know it's more a Tomcat tagline, but still.

  8. Re:more leaks on TSA Investigates Pilot Who Exposed Security Flaws · · Score: 1

    Have you ever spent time in solitary? I haven't, but unless you have, how would you know?

  9. Re:Obscene on 'YouCut' Targets National Science Foundation Budget · · Score: 1

    There's an app for that?! =D

  10. Re:Cut YouCut on 'YouCut' Targets National Science Foundation Budget · · Score: 1

    Columbia and Harvard.

  11. Re:GTX blahwhat on Nvidia Adds GeForce GTX 570 To Graphics Lineup · · Score: 1

    Ford's doing pretty well. Hopefully the other two will catch up.

  12. Re: Transmissions and extreme cold on Auto Industry's Fastest Processor Is 128Mhz · · Score: 1

    What about manual transmissions? Any special considerations for them in extreme cold?

  13. Re:I'll pass on Gran Turismo 5 To Be Released November 24th · · Score: 1

    If you have a PS2 driving force pro, it'll work.

  14. Re:You are wrong on Google Asks Users To Complain Against Facebook · · Score: 1

    They can't read my emails? Unless I'm mistaken, don't they control the servers my email is stored on?

  15. Re:But they're still the same species fish, right? on Religious Ceremony Leads To Evolution of Cave Fish · · Score: 1

    Not with that attitude, anyways.

  16. Re:Microsoft's position is tricky on $2,000 Bounty For Open Source Xbox Kinect Drivers · · Score: 1

    I'm guessing you have a paysite.

  17. Re:Its the USERAGENT string on Do Firefox Users Pay More For Car Loans? · · Score: 1

    You get a C4 ZR1 insured for $1400/year? Geico charges me $1900 a year for a bloody Civic Si!

    God, I hate being a single early 20s male.

  18. Re:Not much on How Much Math Do We Really Need? · · Score: 1

    Are you also a computer scientist?

  19. Excellent on USB 'Dead Drops' · · Score: 4, Funny

    I can think of no security issues that could be introduced by this development.

    It looks like you're trying to turn left.

  22. Re:Question for EVE players on EVE Player Loses $1,200 Worth of Game Time In-Game · · Score: 1

    I don't know much about the game, but a pirate disco battleship sounds awesome.

  23. Re:You're looking at it wrong. on Should I Take Toyota's Software Update? · · Score: 1

    Really? On my newish car (2003) shifting in first at speed would mean conrods flying out of the block and into my face.

  24. Re:Lindor on UMG v. Lindor Ends, No Fees, No Sanctions · · Score: 1

    Alright, I stand corrected then. =D

  25. Re:Safely. noted this one on /. before: on Woz Cites "Scary" Prius Acceleration Software Problem · · Score: 1

    A brake pedal slows down the car. A kill switch cuts off ignition.
