  1. Re:This is TRAGIC but.. on Egyptian Security Forces Storm Pro-Morsi Camps Leaving Nearly 100 Dead · · Score: 1

    The problem is that now the dead protestors become martyrs and gain support.

  2. Re:Testla is good... on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 1

    You are not counting the energy losses from charging the battery. According to a source I found this was 80-90% (three year old source).

  3. Re:Of course, here's the thing... on Yokohama Accidentally Tweets That NK Missile Is Inbound · · Score: 1

    If you had a few minutes you could get to a bomb shelter and survive.

  4. Re:Almost no one is killed by "assault weapons" on 3D Printable Ammo Clip Skirts New Proposed Gun Laws · · Score: 1

    And where is the most murder in the US? In the places with the most gun control, like Chicago.

    What's the point of gun control in one state? Surely it must be nationwide to have any effect?

  5. Re:Doesn't help that Steam client is poorly writte on Valve Reveals First Month of Steam Linux Gains · · Score: 1

    Because every version of DirectX has its own quirks and the game is only garanteed to work with one specifik version.

  6. Re:US Metric System on Petition For Metric In US Halfway To Requiring Response From the White House · · Score: 1

    And of course, once you master Chinese writing, it turns out to be hugely convenient, because it is so compact and concise.

    That first part right there is the problem, though. With thousands of characters it takes a while to learn.

  7. Re:but isn't that a somewhat expensive on Windows 8: a 'Christmas Gift For Someone You Hate' · · Score: 1

    Oooh, that's evil! Making your wife choose between a SSD and Windows 8! :)

  8. Re:Instant Runoff Voting (IRV) and Vote Swapping on Jill Stein and Gary Johnson Debate Online Tonight · · Score: 1

    Instant runoff voting is even worse than plurality voting. There are better systems.

  9. Re:Hyperthymesia on Researchers Create Short-term Memories In Rat Brains · · Score: 1

    That's not it. He has to make an effort to record it into long term memory.

  10. Re:Caring on Firefox Javascript Engine Becomes Single Threaded · · Score: 1

    A normal SSD spreads writes out with wear leveling so there is no reason to worry about writing singular blocks too much.

  11. Re:Another Kink on Senate Set To Vote On the Repeal of Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    You don't think it would hurt the Greece economy and the Greeks if they simply let the banks fail? Sometimes I hate the internet.

  12. Re:Dear Pirate Party: on Pirate Party Wins Seat In Berlin · · Score: 1

    The barrier is 4% in Sweden so it's slightly easier. I really hope we don't have to look to Germany in shame the next election!

  13. Re:yes. wikileaks has caused so many deaths. on Anonymous Releases Restricted NATO Document · · Score: 1

    That has nothing at all to do with what your parent said. And wikileaks censored the documents they released...

  14. Re:Ridiculous Speculation on No Moon Needed For Extraterrestrial Life · · Score: 1

    They still need oxygen for oxidization.

  15. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rabbit_(Australia) . You should be very careful when tampering with eco systems. Also see the Simpsons.

  16. Re:Really? That's important ? on Linus Renames 2.6.40 Kernel To Linux 3.0, Announces Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    As a Swede, I wholeheartedly agree=)

  17. Re:Sounds like on Activists Destroy Scientific GMO Experiment · · Score: 1

    There is a large difference. Those crops you talk about have been tested for years and they are safe beyond reasonable doubt. GMO's do not even need to be tested at all by the FDA in the US, I believe. And that's only the human safety angle. What if a gene from a GMO plant spread into the wild and destroyed eco systems? Safety is important.

  18. Re:no substitute for the real thing on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    No, wine is not an emulator (duh, that's its' name:P). Wine is a compatibility layer and that's quite a huge difference.

  19. Re:The relevant bits on How Windows 7 Knows About Your Internet Connection · · Score: 2

    There is gnome system monitor. It does everything taskmgr does and even shows network speeds in a unit that makes sense.

  20. Re:Too cynical? on Porn Reportedly Found At Bin Laden Compound · · Score: 3, Informative

    No, it's the muslim extremist that are so sexophobic....

  21. Re:Of Course on Tasmanian Dept. of Education Wants Anti-Virus for Linux, OS X · · Score: 1

    Just because AV will not protect against ANY 0-days does make it nearly useless.

    Fixed that for you. If it's a 0-day exploit, typically nobody knows about the virus that uses it execpt the jokers that wrote it.

    Fixed that for you:)

  22. Re:A security and functionality oriented fork on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    Hehe:) I'm already using tree style tabs! It's the single most essential extension for me. I've also basically stopped using bookmarks. Either I just leave a tab open or I use the awesomebar. I also use the compact menu 2 extension to save a bit more pixels.

  23. Re:A security and functionality oriented fork on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    What do you use the menus for? Favorites?

  24. Re:A security and functionality oriented fork on Firefox 5 Details: Sharing, Home Tab, PDF Viewer · · Score: 1

    I complained. Every bit of vertical resoulution is needed for useful things. Not for menues that you seldom use.

  25. Re:Degraded Performance on Intel SSD 510 Series 6Gbps SATA Drives Tested · · Score: 1

    It works with raid if the card supports it or if the software raid supports it.
