    What moron uses a mouse? get a frigging IR remote and call it done.

  2. Re:Was it EA..... on Feedback On Simcity Gets User Banned From EA Forums · · Score: 1

    Then get the torrent and crack from Pirate bay. It's more stable and safer to run than when you get from EA directly.

    Really? Are you that uneduated?

    My AR10 will take out a fully armored military personnel easily. and remember, the military fires FMJ rounds. I'll be firing hunting rounds that when I hit his arm, it will blow off.

    5.56 is what the US military fires. I'm firing 7.62 and is coveted by our troops that are currently in a war right now fighting with 5.56 rounds.

    Come on back when you not only know something about guns but have actually held one.

    Then CISCO is the largest Copyright infringement company on the planet and should be Stormed by the BATF right away.

    Actually how the Disney party is bought and paid for by the MPAA, creation of such software will be a TERRORIST act and allow them to do Drone strikes inside the USA against Internet Terrorist suspected locations.

  7. Confirmation from NORAD... on Iran Says It Sent Monkey Into Space and Back · · Score: 1

    Or it did not happen.

    If NORAD does not say they saw it happen, then Iran is lying again.

  8. Re:Yeah, but how to get sleep on Poor Sleep Prevents Brain From Storing Memories · · Score: 5, Funny

    I just use a lot of alcohol. Drink a 5th of rum every night and you sleep like a baby until morning, unless you have to wake up to puke, but if you did it right you don't even wake up for that.

    0.01%? That is a rip off! Refinance now and get -0.25% that's right you will gain money! Dont pay your mortgage! WE PAY YOU!

  10. AWESOME! on J.J. Abrams To Direct Star Wars VII · · Score: 4, Funny

    I always though that Star Wars did not have enough lens flares...

    Why cant they have Michael Bay do it? We would have Ewoks exploding all over the place, and everyone's wish comes true... Exploding Jar Jar...

  11. Re:We need a skype alternative on Privacy Advocates Demand Transparency From Skype · · Score: 1

    G+ hangouts dont work well for low bandwidth calls. Skype will work on a super saturated DSL line that is barely a fractional T1. G+ just hangs or fails when it hits any bandwidth limits.

    So in other words it will not work for 99% of the users.

    you will not get ipV6 adoption, I'm working with a large company doing a nation wide network and they are all ipV4. ZERO ipV6 is being used anywhere in their multi nation intranet and extranet.

  13. Re:question on Announcing Adafruit Gemma – Miniature Wearable Electronic Platform · · Score: 1

    I consider anything bulky on a tshirt. None of this wearable stuff is for tshirts. Leather jacket, I can mount a 3"X2"X1/2" box easily that will not bother anyone.

  14. College level CS is not useful anymore. on CTO Says Al-Khabaz Expulsion Shows CS Departments Stuck In "Pre-Internet Era" · · Score: 1

    I see coding styles that are downright horrid, that are being taught, and every single College course is so out of date, it's doing a dis-service to the students.

    Couple that with a Lazy prof that is upstaged by a student..... and you get this exact reaction.

  15. Re:question on Announcing Adafruit Gemma – Miniature Wearable Electronic Platform · · Score: 1

    There are a lot of water proof power connectors out there, or you can do something outrageous and use an enclosure, I know wild and crazy notion....

          If you put in a tiny bit of effort, you can easily waterproof (as in dunked or rain) anything.

    it takes less than 12 seconds (and a 24 hour cure time) to make it withstand a dunk in water without problems... Have you never heard of epoxy?

    You must use really crappy led's. I can control 256 pixels at 8 bits color with this device.

    You should already start your migration to Debian+XFCE. you will be ahead of the game if you do.

  22. Re:But...Unity. on Canonical Could Switch To Rolling Releases For Ubuntu 14.04 and Beyond · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Me thinks you miss the whole point. If you piss off most of your user base the answer is not "just install something else" the answer is FIX the dang mess you made.

    But I see Ubuntu swirling the drain, They are making moron decisions, and getting worse. But everyone else is as well. . Fedora 18 is also a steaming pile of doo-doo..

    So Linux follows it's normal cycle of every 7 years making it crappy to the point that it get's reborn again. Mandrake was king until they pooched that one, then they died and Ubuntu rose from the ashes... Ubuntu is now pooched, so let's see who rises from the ashes this time.

  23. Re:This is just another way on Have a Wi-Fi-Enabled Phone? Stores Are Tracking You · · Score: 1

    no they dont. Because sniffing that costs $5000-$8000 per sniffer.

    Where as wifi trackers are less than $70.00 each by using unifi AP's.

  24. No they are not.... on Have a Wi-Fi-Enabled Phone? Stores Are Tracking You · · Score: 1

    Tasker.... My wifi is turned off unless I am at a location that I want it on. If you own an android phone and dont use tasker, you deserve to be tracked.

  25. Re:why webcam? on Ask Slashdot: Best Webcam To Augment Impaired Vision? · · Score: 2

    Mostly because people want to involve complexity. There are a LOT of optical only solutions that will work better than any webcam+PC+TV setup on this planet.

    I suggest NOT helping grandma this way. get them something that does not need to be booted and will work without a virus scanner.
