    What the hell is a GigaWatt?

  2. Re:But how does it sound? on GIF Becomes Word of the Year 2012 · · Score: 1

    What about Ginger? Gym? Geology? Giraffe? Gem? Gentle? Generate? Germ?

  3. Re:Reincarnation on The New Series of Doctor Who: Fleeing From Format? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's actually a great way to prolong the series without running out of material. Unlike a show like "Lost", where if they get off the island, the show's over.

  4. 1.5 million dollars on Crooks Steal $1.5M In iPads From JFK · · Score: 0

    So they made off with what, 20 iPads?

  5. Re:Duh on Moore's Law Is Becoming Irrelevant, Says ARM's Boss · · Score: 0

    Of course, you're not playing games on the i7 without a graphics card, because their integrated solution sucks.

  6. Re:open WiFi? on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Protect My Android Devices From Hackers? · · Score: 0

    The point is that you shouldn't have to disable all the stuff that is a feature of your phone, particularly bluetooth.

    Don't you remember the viruses that affected iOS? http://www.tomshardware.com/news/iphone-virus-botnet-bank-details,9136.html

  8. Re:It's been a cyclic fad. on iPad Mini Could Retail For $250, Delete iPad 2 · · Score: 1

    I think he's referring to Ultrabooks, which are just as light, but vastly more powerful.

  9. Re:Sigh on KDE Plasma Active 3 Improves Performance, Brings New Apps · · Score: 1

    Ah, totally didn't realize that. Haven't really looked at KDE in a few years all that much. That's good, at least.

  10. Re:Sigh on KDE Plasma Active 3 Improves Performance, Brings New Apps · · Score: 0

    Looks like we need another fork. It's ridiculous how much everyone seems to be into the whole tablet hype. Fuck, as much as I hate Apple, at least iOS and OSX are kept separate.

  11. Re:But what about... on Half-Life of DNA is 521 Years, Jurassic Park Impossible After All · · Score: 1

    But you don't need a half-life of tens of millions of years. That's half life, not the rate at which it fully decays.

  12. Re:We tried this before on $1 Billion Mission To Reach the Earth's Mantle · · Score: 1

    That was a base on the moon, not getting to the earth's core. But I love those movies.

  13. Re:Federal version was voted down on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    You also haven't explained WHY that's appropriately so. Or are we just parroting what we've heard?

  14. Re:Federal version was voted down on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    I do believe that's up for debate. Some people don't feel quite the same way, you know.

  15. If I were an employer on California Employers Can't Ask For Your Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    If I were an employer, I'd ask for the password just to see what type of idiot's actually give them up. Then I'd hire the ones that stand up for their rights, but politely.

  16. Re:I would still roll back to WindowsXP. on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    How long ago was this? The ati drivers are pretty decent now for win7.

  17. Re:It's not that bad on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Honestly, this. In fact, I don't need a start menu, since windows key + typing works just fine for that. They can keep the metro interface for searches, too. Just get rid of the default metro screen, and make the desktop default instead (like it is in every other version of windows) and we'd have a winner.

  18. Re:This Poll is Dumb on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This might be blasphemy, but IMO windows 7 is far more polished than *any* flavour of Linux.

  19. Re:Win+X on Even Windows 8 Users Prefer Windows 7 · · Score: 0

    No it doesn't? Although really it's not all that useful unless you want to launch management stuff like power management, device manager, etc.

  20. Re:Nothing wrong here on Leak Hints Windows 8 Tablets May Be Dearer Than Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    This isn't Apple

  21. Re:Not just Android devices on Verizon Offers Free Tethering Because It Has To · · Score: 1

    It didn't work from day one on iPhones (without a tethering plan, at least).

  22. Already exists on Toys R Us Unveils Android Tablet For Kids · · Score: 0

    It's called the iPad. Oh wait...

  23. Re:I don't even want to hear about this anymore. on Samsung Beats Apple In Tokyo, Itching To Sue Over LTE Patents · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between having an older model that is now less expensive vs having a lower priced new model.

  24. Re:Who Will Be the First to Hack It? on Mitt Romney To Announce VP Decision Via Smartphone App · · Score: 1

    I think you actually mean "hacked" in this case ;)

  25. Time to pirate on Ubisoft Uplay DRM Found To Include a Rootkit · · Score: 2

    Guess we should all just use the pirated versions of Ubisoft games to get around this rootkit.
