  1. Re:Not linux on USS Zumwalt — a Guided Missile Destroyer Running On Linux · · Score: 1

    I stopped following ars since their horrid change of format, is it surprising or not surprising ars pushed it as Linux?

  2. Re:14 nanometers should be enough for anyone. on Intel's 14nm Broadwell Delayed Because of Low Yield · · Score: 2

    Yeah, because nobody that runs devices on battery power wants faster more efficient devices. Until my phone can last a week while running crysis you have no point.

  3. Re:what I want to say is, on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, fuck you in questioning our choice.

  4. Re:Spam filter? on The NSA Is Collecting Lots of Spam · · Score: 1

    A benefit of a spammed address book is this would help them build a diagram of connections.

  5. Re:Just remember... on DOJ: Defendant Has No Standing To Oppose Use of Phone Records · · Score: 1

    I think this is only to test the waters, I'm sure they have gathered far more interesting info.

    Worse is a phone interface on your super-computer.

  7. Re:It is just QA cost saving on Microsoft Hands Out $28k In IE11 Bug Bounty Program · · Score: 1

    The problem with this is spammers may offer more than what MS is offering.

  8. Interests removed? on Ask Author David Craddock About the Development of Diablo, Warcraft · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to what was the motivation behind over simplifying nearly every aspect of the game World of Warcarft. I believe WoW is losing subscribers so it seems at some point the balance between RPG technicality and an arcade game was perhaps slanted too much towards being an arcade like game to me that enough interest was removed from what made it popular to begin with. I remember spending time devising the best spec, which had profound impact on the play style and numbers, this seemed to be replaced with a glorified glyph system(as well as glyphs). Leveling poisons for a rogue or weapon skills for a melee character, last time I played in my tests, weapon speed seemed to have no impact on abilities or as much as it once had so there was no reason to garner a variety of weapons. As I hear it now I could start an alt and it would have access to the golden phoenix mount(the 100mount cheev, can't remember the exact name now) that I spent time acquiring on my main. Also, in the time it takes to finish BRD nearly half the content of one of the last expansions could be cleared. Seems like enough of the RPG experience was removed in favor of a more arcade like experience that I soon couldn't find enough reasons to continue to play or pay $15/month. In case I droned on too much, to reiterate my question, what was the motivation for the drastic change in play style from a more technical RPG to style to a more "arcade" style game. Thanks

  9. Re:One request on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    I agree with this, give us choice!

  10. Re:Digg version 2.0 on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    I find the current site comments much easier to follow, the beta reminds me of the mobile site where I can't tell what a comment was replying to. Also, the current format allows for more text to be seen.

    Further, I can't stand the picture/blog format the beta uses that is similar to giz and ars. I much prefer the predominately text based format. Lastly, I stopped following the prementioned sites due to the obnoxious layout

  11. I figured the acceptance of the NSA scanning mail would be applied to google, and others.

    I think it makes me feel slimy.

  13. Re: Will it remain open source and free-as-in-spee on Cyanogen Mod Goes Commercial To Make "Available On Everything, To Everyone" · · Score: 1

    Posting this from CM device I'm not sure how I feel about this. What they do is awesome and I would want them to succeed, however it seems it was so good it's destined to become corporate bloat ware. On my cell I run slim rom and it is great.

  14. Re:One question on Cyanogen Mod Goes Commercial To Make "Available On Everything, To Everyone" · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they will begin charging for the ROM or licensing?

    Elop sounds too close to "Flop", if we're only considering by name.

  19. Re:Oh the form factor!!!!! on Nintendo Announces 2DS Handheld — Plays 3DS Games In 2-D · · Score: 1

    They should have used the clamshell. The clamshell design is also great for kids carrying them around as it protects the screens.
