  1. Re:Software side... on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Way To Consolidate Household Media? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Costs money, phones home, and they are desperately trying to monetize it. Avoid Plex.

  2. Re:Synology on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Way To Consolidate Household Media? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How is your CPU usage? I added a bunch of packages and once i did that my CPU was pegged at 100% for months, limiting transfer speed to 15 MB/s. I finally wiped it and went with the standard packages and it works great now.

  3. Re:but how much IO can they do?? on Ask Slashdot: Easiest Way To Consolidate Household Media? · · Score: 1

    Raid is not your backup. Backup is something that is external to the device itself, and preferably housed offsite and offline.

  4. Re:Why Isn't My Data Copyrighted? on Data Brokers, Gun Owners, and Consumer Privacy · · Score: 1

    This is a great 21st Century question.

  5. Waste of science on Death Valley Dethrones Impostor As Hottest Place On Earth · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is the best world-renowned scientists can come up with? Do some real fucking work and stop using mans obsession with the 'best' to fund your pet moron project.

  6. Re:Memory is not for gamers. on How To Make PC Gaming Better · · Score: 1

    He talking about cards with 40 stream processors with 2 GB slapped on it by someone downstream of Nvidia/ATI.

  7. Re:Stop "Hollywooding" the gaming industry on How To Make PC Gaming Better · · Score: 1

    I wouldnt call gameplay expressly designed to consume quarters, on a custom, one-off hardware/software stack a good yardstick to measure a modern PC game by.

  8. Re:Asus P8H77 on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Motherboard Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    I have that board and the Z77 variant. Both run Ubuntu 12.04 LTS flawlessly, save for Bluetooth. I even pulled the OS drive out of one and popped it in the other and it worked just fine.

  9. Re:Result of Linus middle finger on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Motherboard Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    Thunderbolt SUCKS right now. Its incredibly overpriced and there are precious few companies making the stuff. Thunderbolt is stillborn.

  10. Re:Inconclusive conclusion on Link Between Marijuana and Psychosis Goes Both Ways · · Score: 1

    Why only at home? Or do you think the only way to ingest cannabis is by smoking it?

  11. Re:I wouldn't trust non-professional reviewers on Amazon: Authors Can't Review Books · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You are obtuse.

  12. Re:No bells and whistles on Google Challenging Microsoft For Business Software · · Score: 1

    Someone with Unix in their handle should be used to having to remember arcane incantations to make things work.

  13. Re:The real threat is not Google ... on Google Challenging Microsoft For Business Software · · Score: 1

    We are talking business here, not your pet project. Jailbroken phones are worthless on the business side

  14. Re:A real shame on EFF Looks At How Blasphemy Laws Have Stifled Speech in 2012 · · Score: 1

    I consider that you have no ethics, only morals.

  15. Re:A real shame on EFF Looks At How Blasphemy Laws Have Stifled Speech in 2012 · · Score: 2

    I have jsut as much right to be irrational as the other irrational people and claiming that somehow i need to be less irrational because they are more irrational is pretty irrational.

  16. Re:some truth on Lockheed, SpaceX Trade Barbs · · Score: 2

    NASA did kill TWO crews in a 135 launches.

  17. Re:some truth on Lockheed, SpaceX Trade Barbs · · Score: 2

    Nasa had TWO Shuttle failures that were completely avoidable but were ignored for internal political reasons. Their integrity is questionable.

  18. Re:After the Ruling, Can We Fight Back? on Defending the First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    YARRRRRRR!

  19. Re:Not that dire. Let us not exaggerate. on Defending the First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    ANd what we are saying is, no one should have the right to dictate when and where i sell MY property. Once I buy something its MINE, and no longer connected to the first seller in ANY WAY.

  20. Point is moot on How Do You Give a Ticket To a Driverless Car? · · Score: 1

    The ROAD ITSELF will control the car, not onboard AI. Even if the car has onboard AI, it will still only respond to the road and the rules that are programmed for that particular stretch of highway as set by (hopefully) civil engineers. This method solves the 'lawyer's banquet' dilemma.

  21. Re:Prior art on Microsoft Patents Virtual Handshakes, Hugs · · Score: 1

    Sheldon had a telepresence device, but no hugging, he couldnt even open doors with it.

  22. Re:How Can Microsoft Invent Something from Star Tr on Microsoft Patents Virtual Handshakes, Hugs · · Score: 1

    There is precedent for patents being denied because of Sci-Fi prior art. The inventor of the waterbed was denied because of Heinlein.

  23. Re:Why? on Ask Slashdot: Typing Advice For a Guinness World Record Attempt? · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Fastest typest really has no true advantage unless he produces real work output using it on a consistent basis far and above his peers. There is no point to having this skill if it cant be leveraged, and you will definitely see diminishing returns on a 'skill' like this when producing real work.

  24. Re:PS2 VS USB? on Ask Slashdot: Typing Advice For a Guinness World Record Attempt? · · Score: 1

    USB can handle multiple keypresses jsut fine, if it has a decent encoder. Most el cheapo keyboards have key limits.
