  1. And the loser is... on Google Is Latest Company To Ditch Headphone Jack In Its Newest Smartphones (cultofmac.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sony and Nokia have phones with the same processor but with the 3.5mm jack, expandable storage and water/dust resistance. Their software is close to Google's and Sony contributes to AOSP. Google loses. Oh, and if you want to make good photos, buy a goddamn dedicated camera. No phone comes close and none will due to the laws of optics.

  2. Hence on Ask Slashdot: Are Post-Install Windows Slowdowns Inevitable? · · Score: 2
  3. Try this optimization guide. on Ask Slashdot: Are Post-Install Windows Slowdowns Inevitable? · · Score: 1

    http://www.blackviper.com/serv... I've used it and don't experience any apparent slowdowns even on older ULV notebook processors.

  4. Meh on Greg KH Favors Rolling Release Distros · · Score: 1

    Rolling-release should have been default for desktop distros from the start. Maintainers have no moral right to claim what is stable and what is not, since they do not write the code and are rarely proficient enough to judge its quality. It's the developer's prerogative and a task they manage to perform sufficiently, without the need for additional bureaucracy. Server distros are a whole different world, obviously.

  5. Re:Dell is OK for a big company... on Dell Continues Shipping Fresh Linux Laptops · · Score: 1

    Well, the sampling size is rather small to draw any conclusions. It's always prudent to buy at least one year of extended warranty with modern cult of planned obsolescence in any case, wouldn't you agree?.

  6. Dell is OK for a big company... on Dell Continues Shipping Fresh Linux Laptops · · Score: 1

    ...but I'd still go with System76.

  7. Re:"vivaldi" on Opera Founder Is Back, WIth a Feature-Heavy, Chromium-Based Browser · · Score: 1

    If you base your choices on product names, I feel truly sorry for you. Not in darwinistic sense, though.

  8. Re:DirectX is obsolete on DirectX 12 Lies Dormant Within Microsoft's Recent Windows 10 Update · · Score: 1

    > Ivy Bridge supports OpenGL 3.3 Not true. Ivy and up support OpenGL 4. See there: http://www.intel.com/support/g...

  9. Re:DirectX is obsolete on DirectX 12 Lies Dormant Within Microsoft's Recent Windows 10 Update · · Score: 1

    OpenGL nowadays performs similarly to DirectX and has a comparable feature set. Just run the Unigine benchmarks. They are well-optimized and are available in both OpenGL and DirectX.

  10. Obligatory on Americans Support Mandatory Labeling of Food That Contains DNA · · Score: 1

    I, for one, welcome our new robot overlords.

  11. Banner Saga on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

    Finished 3 times on Normal and 1 on Hard to get all the achievements. What a glorious frigging little game.

  12. Re:But no real 3d accelleration on Firefox On Linux Gets Faster Builds — To Be Fast As Windows · · Score: 1

    You are either crazy or misinformed or lying. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_hardware_and_FOSS#ATI.2FAMD

  13. Meh on On Monday, AT&T Customers Enter Era of Broadband Caps · · Score: 1

    191 comments and not a single one suggesting founding a new ISP. America, meh.
