  1. Reboot Restore on Ask Slashdot: Remote Support For Disconnected, Computer-Illiterate Relatives · · Score: 1

    Have you looked into reboot restore, or any of the other tools that re-image the drive on each boot? Someone that works at a School or University could suggest a good one. That way almost all tech support can be solved with "Have you tried turning it off and on again?". I'd also look into a better email service. Using a fairly cheap service such as Fastmail comes with much better Spam protection.

  2. Re:It's pretty simple on How a MacBook Camera Can Spy Without Lighting Up · · Score: 1

    Samsung does. I've got one of the 2012 model smart TV's. The camera on it rotates on a vertical axis, I assume so that you can point it at the couch more accurately and not chop peoples heads off. If you keep rotating it however, the camera will point back into the TV. There is still the issue of the microphone even with this, but all the NSA would hear is me talking to friends on the phone. I think they have this covered by other means.

    You mean the readable version.

  4. Jesus would be proud! on Giant Microwave Turns Plastic Back to Oil · · Score: 1

    It's the modern day equivalent of turning water into wine.

  5. Re:And yet... on Sun Super Computer May Hit 2 Petaflops · · Score: 1

    That's so 1999.

  6. FP on Top Irritating Words Spawned by Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    OMG PONIEZ First post.... Now THAT's annoying.

  7. Re:They're Not There to Win on Apple Picking a Fight it Can't Win With Safari · · Score: 1

    The iPhone will never be 'the one' to make mobile web browsing mainstream. Why? GPRS. It is sloooooow. If they had gone with 3G/WCDMA maybe, but your typical user is never going to wait that long. "Wow only 30 seconds left until I can read my emai..... oh wait, damn tunnel."

  8. Re:You would think that??? on Judge Orders TorrentSpy to Turn Over RAM · · Score: 1

    Good point, Why not hand over a few hundred pages worth of 1's and 0's. There's your document... it's up to the MPAA to interpret it.

  9. Re:Bill's Reply on Jack Thompson Sues Microsoft · · Score: 3, Funny

    No, it would read: That's the dumbest fucking letter I've read since I've been at Microsoft. Regards, Bill Gates.
