  1. Re:GNOME 3.x worsens the general user experience on What's New In GNOME 3.18 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    GNOME 3.x sent me to KDE, even though I eventually settled in Cinnamon.

  2. Anonymity on Airline Begins Weighing Passengers For 'Safety' · · Score: 1

    I hope data is accumulated and presented summarised to the crew. Otherwise, some people may find it a privacy violation.

  3. Re:Leaving Google on Google Is Dropping Its Google+ Requirement Across All Products Including YouTube · · Score: 1

    You can always install a Google-free version of Android.

  4. Re:Android versions prior to Jelly Bean, version 4 on 'Stagefright' Flaw: Compromise Android With Just a Text · · Score: 2

    This sounds far less than the 95% of Android devices stated in the article. It would affect 11% of users (http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html).

  5. Re:My Cell Data Usage "Current Period 12.4 GB" on Smartphone Apps Fraudulently Collecting Revenue From Invisible Ads · · Score: 2

    In android you can view the data usage per app. Is there something similar in iPhone? It easily pinpoints which is the app(s) that is use more data than they should.

  6. Re:What's the point? on LibreOffice Ported To Run On Wayland · · Score: 1

    I'm very much looking forward to Wayland, which allegedly is the main requirement for nVidia implementing proper (dynamic) optimus support.

  7. Subject on Microsoft Uses US Women's Soccer Team To Explain Why It Doesn't Hire More Women · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When I studied CS there were 5 women and 200 guys in my class. With that in mind, complaining about an IT company not hiring many woman is nonsense.

  8. Re:Can';t say I disagree on Scientology Group Urged Veto of Mental Health Bill · · Score: 2

    I don't think people who are mentally confused go to the doctor by their own will. They most likely were taken there by the police or other people.

  9. Re:Acquired skill on Short Sleepers Might Be Benefiting From a DNA Mutation · · Score: 1

    I agree to this. Until high school I used to sleep 7 to 8 hours every night. During my bachelor studies I was studying, working part time, and doing some graphics programming until late at night. After a few years like that, I got used to sleeping 4 to 7 hours per night. Now I can't go to bed before 2AM, or I'll be like O_O

  10. No thanks, I prefer to have less latency. Also, no word on resolution, but unless it uses HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort, it's not going to be HiDPI. Who would want a non-HiDPI, 30Hz screen these days?

  11. Re:Mac/Retina on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Laptop To Support Physics Research? · · Score: 1

    As are any other laptop with HiDPI.

  12. Re:In The States on Aussie Airlines To Allow Uninterrupted Mobile Use During Flights · · Score: 2

    Icelandair has USB outlets as well. I love it! :)

  13. Re:184 mph is the fastest train in America? on The Improbable Story of the 184 MPH Jet Train · · Score: 1

    I think you are forgetting about Spain's AVE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AVE)

  14. Re:Too old. on X Window System Turns 30 Years Old · · Score: 2

    With AGILE development methods we can have something in a week. Whether it will be better or worse will depend on the features that could be developed within that sprint.

    Anyway, I'd say 1 week is a very aggressive timeline, right? Do you work as a PM for Accenture?

  15. Re:Java in an IDE on Ask Slashdot: Best Rapid Development Language To Learn Today? · · Score: 1

    The diamond operator is available since Java 7.

  16. Re:Skipping Laptops Screens on A 2560x1440 VR Headset That's Mobile · · Score: 1

    There are now a few HiDPI choices in laptops. Writing this from my 3200x1800 laptop...

  17. HiDPI on Google Chrome 34 Is Out: Responsive Images, Supervised Users · · Score: 1

    What about proper HiDPI support?

  18. Re:Workification on IEEE Predicts 85% of Daily Tasks Will Be Games By 2020 · · Score: 1

    The only difference is at work, I'm not allowed to kill the orcs.

    Ah, you are not?

  19. Workification on IEEE Predicts 85% of Daily Tasks Will Be Games By 2020 · · Score: 1

    I stopped playing games the moment I realised how similar to working were: go to this place, speak with this person, go to this other place, kill 1000 orcs, take this object and figure out how to better fuse it with these other 7...

  20. braingate2 on Paralyzed Woman Uses Mind-Controlled Robot Arm · · Score: 2

    "Moving forward, the researchers would like to miniaturize the system and make it wireless"

    And that is the purpose of Braingate2: http://www.braingate2.org/

  21. Re:Prior art on Apple Patents Using Apps During Calls · · Score: 2

    I was also switching to apps during calls in Symbian with My Nokia 6680. And for sure, the iPhone was not born yet by that time.

  22. Re:Linux on What's Killing Your Wi-Fi? · · Score: 2

    Have you tried using NDISwrapper? I haven't tried it myself, but if you are able to use the same driver as in Windows, everything *should* work the same way.

  23. Re:I can't be the only one who's going... "WTF?" on Court Clears Novell To Sue Microsoft Over WordPerfect · · Score: 1

    "First word" was great... :)

  24. Re:Google Maps on Help Map Global Light Pollution, By Starlight · · Score: 1

    Posted as AC by mistake.

  25. Re:x86 0nly? on Emulated PC Enables Linux Desktop In Your Browser · · Score: 1

    I think the point of having a Java emulator is being able to execute it from any OS and CPU.

    So I would assume that this should be able to be run from "anything".
