  1. Who wrote this, at&t? on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: 0

    Really? I don't pay for cable TV or digital phone from the cable company any more. OTA HD TV totally rocks! Terk antennas are great. With my ROKU or that new tiny PC from Intel so I can run Netflix and I am good to go. If you're still paying for what you can get for free; fill in the blanks from here.

  2. Moron. on Bill Would Ban Paid Prioritization By ISPs · · Score: 0

    The occupy wall street hippies didn't have anything better to do during the day other than sober up from the previous night's pot smoking bashes and then stand in line to get free benefits courtesy the tax payers after sitting around "protesting".

  3. Probably won't be around on Solar Could Lead In Power Production By 2050 · · Score: 0

    If I am around in 2050 it would be a shock. I just hope solar does make it to the top by then, or long before preferably.

  4. Re:Quick rule of thumb on Apple's Diversity Numbers: 70% Male, 55% White · · Score: 0

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C... The subject is too complex to suggest that because Apple is gay-friendly means that that whites would not feel welcome there. If anything I would think more people should feel welcome at Apple, not excluded.

  5. Finally, self-encrypting drives on Intel Launches Self-Encrypting SSD · · Score: 0

    Ok that's all I had to say, glad to see it's happening now.

  6. Re:sounds like North Korea news on Google's Experimental Newsroom Avoids Negative Headlines · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why do young people and liberal nuts dis Fox? Is it because they don't like what their parents like in the former and don't want to grow up in the latter? Fox, NBC, ABC, CBS, the only difference is that Fox will at least on more occasions tell things as they are regardless whether college kiddies or liberal fanatics understand the content.

  7. Tor enables bad stuff on Tor Project Sued Over a Revenge Porn Business That Used Its Service · · Score: 1

    Simple subject but it's true. The very people who would be incensed by child pornography seem ironically to be Tor's biggest defenders. You guys need to re-think how important your adult porn is to you and get on the right side.

  8. Re:Redneck roadhouse on Tor Project Sued Over a Revenge Porn Business That Used Its Service · · Score: 1

    >> The smaller towns though have definitely done everything they can do to live up to the uber-conservative, racist, and ignorant stereotypes foisted upon them. That's an ignorant comment.

    Way to go guys, this is me on many occasions. :-)

  10. Re:Families come first on Age Discrimination In the Tech Industry · · Score: 1

    >> I'll go for universities that focus on providing a solid background which will make me employable in the long-run. In the long run you'll be old, focus on what gets you the most now and stick as much of it in the bank as you can, each paycheck. When you're old and rich, I'm only one of those and it ain't rich, you can get as many degrees as fancies your interest.

  11. Re:Can't just turn it off on Millions of Smart TVs Vulnerable To 'Red Button' Attack · · Score: 1

    We cut the cable cord over a year ago, we use OTA for all the major networks - free HD; Roku for Netflix, Twitch, AolOn (we like Newsy), YouTube, Smithsonian channels and 3 games we bought. The OTA antenna was about $45 bucks. The Roku $99. One time costs, we now save well over $100 per month we were paying to cable and get better content in many cases and the same in others. I miss the History channel, too bad they are greedy and don't have a Roku channel with all unlocked content paid for by advertising.

  12. Mars is not far... on Robots Will Pave the Way To Mars · · Score: 2

    We made it for months on submarines, underwater, day and night...months at a time. We made our own air and water from the ocean. So yes, find the resources along the way and Mars is not far at all. Robots? They will help, they are not the sole answer.

  13. Re:The Joy of C on Ask Slashdot: What Should Every Programmer Read? · · Score: 1

    Peter van der Linden's Expert C Programming: Deep C Secrets is one that I'd recommend for sure. Also, Steven's Holtz's books on Assembly. I'd start with those in fact.

  14. Now I know on which side to stand on Al Franken Says FCC Proposed Rules Are "The Opposite of Net Neutrality" · · Score: 1

    Whatever Franken is for, I'm against, finally I know which side of the issue to take, thanks Al.

  15. Thanks for letting us know on New White House Petition For Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    I'd never signed up for the Whitehouse.gov petition site, thanks for making us aware there was a petition for this very important topic for the future of the Internet.

  18. Restricted Drivers on Google Won't Enable Chrome Video Acceleration Because of Linux GPU Bugs · · Score: 1

    Problem solved, come on Google. Valve figured out how to get Steam on Linux and it runs faster than on Windows. They just tell you run Restricted Drivers. It's' that simple.

  19. Re:If Google dId care about Linux..... on Google Won't Enable Chrome Video Acceleration Because of Linux GPU Bugs · · Score: 1

    >> Yeah, good luck with that... nVidia doesn't care about linux users Uhm, yeah, they do. >> Unity is currently super buggy because of poor drivers Uhm no not at all actually, I liked old Gnome but Unity runs fine. >> And using a laptop with an nVidia card is a nightmare No not at all, I used an IBM Thinkpad then a Lennovo for years with nVidia GPU and it ran great. >> The only graphics drivers that works on Linux is Intel Once again no, use Restricted Drivers, enjoy better than Windows performance and great stability.

  20. Things change yes on New Study Shows One-Third of Americans Don't Believe In Evolution · · Score: 1

    Things change over time yes, but to extrapolate that humans came about from apes which came from amoeba? If I had to guess I'd say Darwin was trying to sell books at the time, that or become famous.

  21. Re:First for banning HFT on Tweet From Hacked AP Account Causes High Freq. Traders To Drop DOW 150 Points · · Score: 1

    Those scripts should be architected software that pulls from a number of sources, coalesces the data using some logical averaging at least then makes a decision on whether to trade. That trades happen based on keywords is hard to imagine.

  23. Good luck with the legal battles neighbors on Free Wi-Fi: the Movement To Give Away Your Internet For the Good of Humanity · · Score: 0

    Sometimes the FSF is an unit I can agree with and sometimes well not. It's clear, I have one argument against this idea, legal, legal, legal.

  24. No we aren't built to be lazy on Walk or Run: Are We Built To Be Lazy? · · Score: 0

    No we aren't built to be lazy. If you're reading this and you think you're lazy...wake up! +we are not meant or built to be lazy+ That does not mean we have to work for peanuts either. "Just because you're assigned the job of swabbing the deck doesn't mean you have to be the best deck swabber unless you happen to like that work." That's what my Dad taught me. And if you like swabbing decks, more power to you in all honesty.
