  1. Re:Telsa's lobbiest crashes on Michigan About To Ban Tesla Sales · · Score: 1

    NOT bribes, campaign contributions.

  2. Google next? on Netflix Video Speed On FiOS Doubles After Netflix-Verizon Deal · · Score: 1

    I occasionally view instructional videos from youtube at the low default quality, the videos will play for roughly 10-15 seconds and then stop. I have to pause the video, wait for it to buffer and continue to do this to get through the video. I'm on a 60mb service which tests out fine, I can download over 7MB/sec but can't reliably stream 480p video from youtube.com.

    Anybody else experiencing this with youtube?

  3. Re:Reality? on The Correct Response To Photo Hack Victim-Blamers · · Score: 1

    Wow, am I the only one that thought the photos were staged, most of the photos were not selfies, and how else do you get this much publicity?

  4. Re:Really? on Ask Slashdot: An Accurate Broadband Speed Test? · · Score: 1

    So which speed test from DSLReports do you suggest we use?

  5. Re:Mint on What's Been the Best Linux Distro of 2014? · · Score: 1

    After having recently had some updates break things in my xubuntu installs I'm becoming a fan of Mint's rated update system.

  6. Is this resolved? on Belkin Router Owners Suffering Massive Outages · · Score: 1

    I'm getting a reply back from heartbeat.belkin.com. I don't have a belkin router to test with.

  7. Re:Linux games on Linux 3.17 Kernel Released With Xbox One Controller Support · · Score: 2

    I'm actually playing through Witcher2 at the moment on Mint, and it is f00king awesome so far.

  8. Re:Better call it Windows 11 on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 · · Score: 1

    Maybe they are letting you know something.

  9. Re:ha ha on Apple Yanks iOS 8 Update · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised they didn't take their normal stance of denial, maybe that was only a Jobs trait.

  10. Re:As a BlackBerry user on BlackBerry Launches Square-Screened Passport Phone · · Score: 0

    Who the fuck wants to manage a BES to support it?

  11. Re:Am I the only one? on Users Report Warping of Apple's iPhone 6 Plus · · Score: 1

    I just tried bending my plastic S3, at this point it wouldn't hurt my feelings too much if it broke, and it is fairly stout.

  12. Re:I look forward to Minecraft with my son on The Minecraft Parent · · Score: 1

    My 2 year old girl runs around in Minecraft on her tablet and on a PC. Although by her behavior she must have inherited my genes from playing doom, duke nukem and the like growing up. Unless your son is isolated, I doubt you will be able to keep him from minecraft before 3.

  13. Re:This is silly on U2 and Apple Collaborate On 'Non-Piratable, Interactive Format For Music' · · Score: 1

    I would like audio tracks to have a higher sample rate, something similar to audio from a DVD. It is 2014, I'm starting to feel fucking old and music is still at the same quality as it was when I was buying CDs in the 80s.

  14. Re:Minecraft itself is a phenomenon, but on Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Maker Mojang For $2.5 Billion · · Score: 1

    Seems like a good business decision for Microsoft. If your tablet, phone, console and computer industries are tanking.. sell stuff toys!!

  15. Re:Abject brand mismanagement on Microsoft Killing Off Windows Phone Brand Name In Favor of Just Windows · · Score: 1

    That is why most people are unable to update a windows 8 install. It is even a pain for me because I can't seem to push out some updates from WSUS and have to get these from the windows store, WTF. If there is a work around I haven't put out enough time to find it..

  16. Is nvidia using patents on commonplace patents to get a piece of the pie they are jealous the don't have. Or are these legitimate patents and said companies are willfully stealing technology?
     
    Keep in mind my next purchases for video cards and cell phones will depend on the answer..

  17. Re:Switching is too hard? on FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler Says Switching ISPs Is Too Hard · · Score: 1

    Other than DSL, no other choice around here either.

  18. Re:April's Fools Early? on After Celebrity Photo Leaks, 4chan Introduces DMCA Policy · · Score: 1

    I'm wagering this was forced on them.

    If you have friends what the fuck are you doing posting here? Liar!!

  20. I think you meant to say windows NT?

  21. Re:gaming rig on AMD Releases New Tonga GPU, Lowers 8-core CPU To $229 · · Score: 1

    The 6850 while not a bad card now, may struggle to play "next generation" games. That being said AMD cards like the 270x are dead cheap on ebay, or get a card in the $250-$300 range and that should work for a while.

    Curious what your wife does for fun?

  22. Re:What battle? (2010 wants its article back?) on Choose Your Side On the Linux Divide · · Score: 1

    I have mostly stuck with Ubuntu variants and was wondering what the fuck systemd was, now I'm hoping like hell it is not adopted.

    Yeah, I was thinking I could probably find enough time to fill out an additional timesheet at my current job.

  25. Re:We don't think of MS for open source because... on Microsoft's Olivier Bloch Explains Microsoft Open Source (Video) · · Score: 0

    That and the sites are not really evidence of any contribution, other than pushing a glorified blog for collaboration.
