  1. Re:apple.com on Ask Slashdot: Buying a Laptop That Doesn't Have Windows 8 · · Score: 1, Funny

    That only works if he has twice as much money to spend compared to a Windows laptop.

  2. Just some math figures. on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    Well, this 2 part question deserves a two part answer
    If you had a $14.99 plan for 1 out at a time and unlimited internet videos You can on average turn around 1-2 dvds a week for 4-8dvd’s mailed a month And unlimited instant watch to an eh connection of movies/tv shows.
    Total: 4-8 + unlimited = $14.99 While redbox which has been Netflix’s number 1 competition for the last 6years. It’s 1 dvd for $1 with a $1 a day late fee, which means you could rent 30 dvd’s for $30 at 1 a day
    To beat Netflix you would need to rent less than 14 dvd’s a month, and with the selection of Redbox locations only being updated 4 times a month (at best) you would also need to expand your searching locations, which would bring in paying gas prices. So..
    Netflix 4 to 8 + unlimited IW = $14.99 Vs. RedBox 15dvds + (gas for driving @ least avg2-4miles both ways [4-8total, avg. gas price $4 a gallon, 30mpg car]) $.75 = $11.25 + $15 = $26.25 Which means you would actually only get roughly 7dvd’s from Redbox for the same price.

  3. Just kick the big one, go gaim. on Despite AOL's Claim, AIM Worm Hole Still Wide Open · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Uhhh, as far as I'm concerned if you still use AIM you deserve what you get, the only reason AOL itself is still around is because of our poor grandparents who don't know any better. I say "Boo on you" aol for taking advantage of our elderly community that doesn't know any better by forcing them to install additional programs such as "ViewPoint Media Player" if they want AIM. Its crap that you make Customers of your's download additional adware to help support your continued existence, just roll over and call it quits. Time Warner is the only way you have left. Period.

  4. Re:Is that even legal? on Upcoming Firmware Will Brick Unlocked iPhones · · Score: 1

    I Think the big problem here is, it shouldn't break the code. If you buy a stock Ford Focus, but put after market exhaust or new air intake into it (I know knowone here would.) The car itself is still covered under warranty. Just the add-ons aren't covered. Why should the Iphone not be the same? It seems that Iphone is under pressure to force Customers back to ATT's phone company and do all in the process.

  5. Re:Site has been slashdotted... on Fantasy Author Robert Jordan Passes Away · · Score: 1

    RJ You are are a fantastic story writer. I've been a fan for a couple years now. I read the series from 1 to 11 then sat it down for a year, then picked it up and read it again to make sure I caught all the things i missed. The ability to collect so much information about a myriad of chars. Is something you had down to a T. I wish you and your family the best, and if my writing ever makes it anywhere You'll see your name under Inspiration . Good Luck.
