  1. Re:I agree on BlackBerry CEO: Tablet Market Is Dying · · Score: 2

    However inconvenient they may be for certain uses, they are still convenient to carry around and are "popular". What would replace tablets? phones with large screens, essentially a tablet. I don't agree. Even if he can't catch the gravy train, RIM is missing out on market penetration with the BBOS or whatever it is now.

    However, I wish Microsoft thought this way and produced separate tablet and desktop operation systems.

  2. Re:The WRT54G had a good run, but it's obsolete. on New OpenWRT Drops Support For Linux 2.4, Low-Mem Devices · · Score: 1

    I'm using this flavor of tomato and it has been great for me and sees quite regular updates.

  3. Re:no problem on NYC Police Comm'r: Privacy Is 'Off the Table' After Boston Bombs · · Score: 1

    Wasn't there enough basic "red flags" thrown to catch these guys based on systems that already exist? If we can't make use of the current systems how are thousand of video feeds going to help. Seems to me we need to be more thorough about monitoring the systems in place.

  4. Re:let me be the first to say on Ubuntu Releases 13.04, Sticks To 6-Month Release Rhythm · · Score: 1

    So my kids machine has ubuntu.. how would one go about disabling this?

    ehh I think I also have a laptop with xubuntu.

    And you would need to move all the shortcuts into one folder.

  7. Re:1000 mile range for 25 KG of Aluminum Air Batte on Will Future Tesla Cars Use Metal-Air Batteries? · · Score: 1

    Does the process to recycle the aluminum battery require less energy than the process to produce gasoline?

  8. Re:voltage? on USB SuperSpeed Power Spec To Leap From 10W To 100W · · Score: 3, Insightful

    And require 16 or 14 gauge wire, that will be nice and convenient to carry around. I can't see this adoption being too widespread, only special use cases.

  9. Re:No surprise, really. on Futurama Cancelled (Again) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The hipster one was pretty good also.

  10. Re:ISP Provided? on Researchers Hack Over a Dozen Home Routers · · Score: 1

    It is always our fault, when was the last time you saw an isp take fault for anything.

  11. Re:Jailbreak. on ACLU Asks FTC To Force Carriers To 'Patch Or Replace' Android Devices · · Score: 1

    When I was running CM10 on an s3 I found it to be very stable. I would not recommend unofficial or nightly releases in situations where you are depending on a reliable device.

  12. Re:After the first $million ... on Sony Launches Internet Service Offering Twice the Speed of Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    Depends on the number of torrents you're running.

  13. Re:did people really use them? on Nintendo To Cancel Weather, News, and Other Built-In Wii Apps In June · · Score: 1

    I like the wii for the virtual console and the ability to play gamecube games. I also use it to play movies from a netbook running xubuntu acting as a nas. I actually use the weather service from time to time, I thought it was nice but dated compared to xmbc. If you gave me a wiiU the old wii would probably still see more use in my case.

    Then sifting through the list(is it even sortable) of installed updates for the proper kb to be removed.

  19. Re:Does it run Linux software? on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    I use terminal to run commands with busybox. your phone may also have iptables, samba, vnc, ssh.. probably some others.

  20. Re:Easy to answer. on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I bet 98% of the population doesn't know what linux is. How would google even market that?

    Also, this is only an issue for the Nexus or custom roms, and what a problem to have, too much excess free ram! Phones running roms with carrier BS more "fully utilize" the phones ram.
