  1. Re:GoDaddy on GoDaddy Backs SOPA · · Score: 1

    I agree GoDaddy is cheap web hosting and you get what you pay for with them nothing but problems. Poor service,slow propagation, management tools were terrible, imap e-mail was junk. They have WWE as a big supporter with the divas and a massive advertising campaign. They advertise during the Superbowl, Wrestling and UFC and gets the average person to think they are great.

  2. Re:It won't last on Volkswagen Turns Off E-mail After Work-Hours · · Score: 1

    This is kind of stupid I mean if there is something that can be taken care of quickly with just a short e-mail rather then waiting till business hours and now you have a major issue. I think comes down to work mentality and dedication.

  3. Re:So.. on Ask Slashdot: Ideal High School Computer Lab? · · Score: 1

    I would ask for a smart board makes showing videos, projections, powerpoints and interaction more fun and entertaining. A lot of schools are going with smart boards instead of regular white boards. Prometian makes a good one with USB support and ready made flip charts to help.

  4. Re:So all 5 of you running Safari on Windows on New Remote Flaw In 64-Bit Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    When Safari is loaded on Windows 7 and a web site is browsed to with an HTML IFRAME tag with a very large height attribute a blue screen is gotten. The worry is this vulnerability could be used to execute kernel level attacks on computers or do other malicious attacks. Microsoft is looking into patching the issue before more exploits are made a result of this bug.

  5. Re:bad info on Hobbit Film Trailer Posted Online · · Score: 1

    What a week for movie trailers first The Dark Night Rises now The Hobbit. This should be quite an interesting year for movies The new GI Joe, The Avengers, Battleship, The Hunter Games and soon the new Underworld great time to be a movie fan.

  6. Re:Ok, For me personally... on Ask Slashdot: What Do You Like To Read? · · Score: 1

    Invasion America is a great read if you would like some Sci-fi reading or any Stephen King will suffice. Sword of Shanna was a great book if you want something like Lord of the Rings. How To Win Friends and Influence People is another great read its short my friend recommend it to me and it was a great read. If you like spy or military stories any of Tom Clancy's books will suffice.

  7. Re:how are the terms able to stay secret? on Mozilla and Google Sign New Agreement For Default Search · · Score: 1

    Google is keeping a lot of companies going 121 million to Firefox a year. They give AOL 600 million for 5 years for keyword searches. I am very impressed that Google would keep Firefox deal considering it's Chrome biggest threat. I think Google is trying to prevent a possible anti trust lawsuit.

  8. Re:So, when did subscriptions become traditional? on Star Wars: the Old Republic Launches · · Score: 1

    Yeah I am not a huge fan of Subscription based games but yet I spend money on an Xbox live account. I guess it all depends on how good the game is depends on if I buy a subscription. WoW was defiantly worth it and so was Everquest.

  9. Re:Ferrari without a paint job on X-Men Origins Pirate Draws a 1-Year Sentence · · Score: 1

    Ryan Reynolds did a terrible Deadpool and his Green Lantern was horrible. He stunk in Blade 3 I was glad to see Triple H beat him up. Ryan Reynolds needs to keep away from the comic book movies his adaptation are not up to par.

  10. Re:Anyone who thinks they can predict the future.. on IBM's Five Predictions For the Next Five Years · · Score: 1

    I am sorry I just can't get Jim Carey and Batman Forever out of my mind. JK

  11. Re:Ferrari without a paint job on X-Men Origins Pirate Draws a 1-Year Sentence · · Score: 1

    I agree the movie was bad Sabertooth being Wolverines brother was so stupid. Not to mention my favorite character of all time Gambit got just totally messed up they made him look like a dork and a idiot. Bad movie and they already have plans for a 2nd movie according to hsx.com

  12. Re:Anyone who thinks they can predict the future.. on IBM's Five Predictions For the Next Five Years · · Score: 1

    My problem with the mind reading piece is if you can take thoughts out what prevents them from putting thoughts into your brain. What about the parts of the brain it reads that your don't know about. Something tells me mind reading technology is not a one way street. Plus you always have to put something in for something to come out. VERY SCARY the thought of controlling something via your brain.

  13. Goes along with a post from about 2 weeks ago on Hard Drive Makers Slash Warranties · · Score: 1

    http://hardware.slashdot.org/story/11/12/10/0111234/pc-makers-run-short-of-popular-drives PC manufactures are running short on drives because of lack of supply. Supply shortage is expected to last till 2013. Now the drive manufactures are cutting warranties. What's going to happen next?

  14. Re:next we'll hear that Dell is in trouble... on Dell Ditches Netbooks · · Score: 1

    Well the other issue was they were selling them dirt cheap with Ubuntu and a small Hard Drive. The problem with that was people could not store much and most people do not understand Linux. I had several users asking me operational questions the situation got even more intense when they started using the Netbook version of Ubuntu that really confused users tremendously.

  15. Re:First post from firefox on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    I use Firefox but I do think chrome is great much faster and has a lot of hidden neat features. As far as Google services go they all run better in chrome and rightfully so its there browser. I do think that the article is not accurate they are comparing an out of date browser with Chrome. Most home users do not even know there is an alternative. Plus chrome is gaining popularity because it's bundled with some many things so it can get you hooked easier. IE still owns the market unfortunately.

  16. Restructuring for revenue on Adblock Plus Developers To Allow 'Acceptable' Ads · · Score: 1

    This sounds like they are going to do the same thing search engines do the more you pay the more your ads will appear. Just like search engines the more you pay the higher you rank. The company needed revenue and this is how they decided they were going to make money. A lot of company's that offer free services get people hooked the first few years then start with the revenue stream ideas. Apple did with the iPhone they got everyone hooked on the phone then introduced iAd and guess what we all kept our iPhones. If people like the service enough they will just put up with the changes. How ever the post goes on to talk about unchecking 'Allow non-intrusive advertising' to not allow a white list. So this does show they are trying to keep the products integrity and the products main purpose.

  17. Re:Uh... on Goodbye Textbooks, Hello iPad · · Score: 1

    I know I consult for school districts and there is no tablet standard in place. Some schools want Kindle some want iPads it really all depends on the school district what online programs they subscribe to and available budget.

  18. Re:Don't bitch. on PC Makers Run Short of Popular Drives · · Score: 1

    The US had an issue like this in March after Japan's earth quake there was a ram and flash drive shortage. Now do to flooding in Thailand were short on hard drives it's amazing how dependent we are on other country's for technology hardware.

  19. Re:Finally, not a scam on Ticketmaster Customers, Get Ready For Your (Tiny) Class-Action Payout · · Score: 1

    It's nice to get something back Ticketmaster's been hitting us with fees and monopolizing the industry long enough. About time they have to pay out something even if just a discount coupon nice to see them have feel some kind of pain. Maybe they will open there eyes and stop ripping off the public but I doubt they will.

  20. Re:Best x-men so far on X-Men: First Class · · Score: 1

    I agree First Class did have it's problems but over all I though was a good movie as well. Was nice to see the en fences of the movie on Professor X and Magneto and rather then on Wolverine. I also like the use of the different characters and a prequel rather then a sequel. This movie was worth going to see.

  21. Market Share on Mac Malware Evolves - No Install Password Required · · Score: 1

    It was only a matter of time till there started being viruses and malware for the MAC just like anything else the more market share something gets the more it gets picked apart. It's only a matter of time till we see desktop linux get virus and malware released. We have already seen some variation of it with the way they are pulling android apps off the market cause of security issues.

  22. Killing an OS on Internet Explorer 10 Drops Vista Support · · Score: 1

    This is so typical Microsoft this is how they kill OS versions. First they start with the browser then its the Windows Updates. Then it becomes end of life.

  23. Now I can play catch up on All Star Trek TV Coming To Netflix · · Score: 1

    I never really got on the Star Trek kick until after the new movie. This is great for me now I can catch up on all the episodes. I been watching the episodes on sci-fi network when I can but now I can watch them in order and understand more of whats happening. From what I been told DS9 has to be watched in order.

  24. Some best friend Paul Allen can be on Paul Allen Rips Bill Gates In Autobiography · · Score: 1

    Some best friend Paul Allen can be to his friend Bill Gates. Allen is in the top richest men in the world according to Forbes because Gates took him to the top. Now he is blasting Microsoft and Gates in his new book. Maybe Allen was the idea man but Gates was the brains behind the success of Microsoft. I think even if Bill Gates did some bad things to Allen in the long run Allen made out in the overall scheme.
