  1. MXC on Intel Rolling Out 800Gbps Cables This Year · · Score: 1

    Most Extreme Data Transfer Challenge?

    All of your data will get there, however half of it will be broken and the other half poorly translated.

  2. Re:Offline Single Player? on Diablo 3 Expansion Announced: Reaper of Souls · · Score: 1

    Any word on offline single player? No offline single player, no sale.

    With the inclusion of a real money auction house, I'm glad it's online only. An offline mode just opens the game up to hacking, item duping/creation, etc. If an end user's PC is generating loot drops, they can be manipulated. When it's done server side, it can't.

  3. Re:Power to the people on How To Compete With NSA By Hacking a Verizon Network Extender · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly certain that anyone taking a bribe from Monsanto isn't going to have that conversation over a cellular telephone.

  4. Re:MLB has much bigger problems on Pitcher-Turned-Law Student On Cheating In Baseball · · Score: 1

    Don't forget that NFL Football is played mostly on Sunday. Monday and Thursday games are played at night, starting at 8:30pm Eastern. Baseball is played 7 days a week.

  5. Re:A hard time keeping on the forefront? on Why Can't Intel Kill x86? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's a lot more to life than gaming. A fast video card won't do a thing to speed up the work I do every day.

  6. Re:Emulate on Full Review of the Color TI-84 Plus · · Score: 1

    My TI-82 was definitely not allowed during the SATs.

  7. Re:They thought they had him! on McAfee May Have Been Captured · · Score: 1

    Sadly, I've had this same conversation with people more than once. "What did I do that was illegal!?"

  8. Re:FOR on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lok'tar ogar!

  9. Re:Let me be the first to call her a on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Admittedly, when this story first broke, I checked her Armory page, saw her Achievement Points (Low) and immediately knew her playing WoW was a non-issue.

  10. Re:Precedent on 'World of Warcraft' Candidate For Maine State Senate Wins Election · · Score: 1

    Why do you think he didn't get in any trouble?

  11. Re:Use Windows | +5 Insightful on Proprietary Nvidia Linux Driver Contains Privilege Escalation Hole · · Score: 1

    Don't feed the trolls.

    h### account name promoting Microsoft. I'm shocked!

  12. Re:Why don't they use Facebook/Microsoft? on US Viewers Using Proxies To Watch BBC Olympic Coverage · · Score: 1

    Both Facebook and Microsoft cut a huge deal with the olympics committee to broadcast it free over their website. Let me say that again - FOR FREE. ON THE INTERNET.

    I think this would had been great opportunity for Google to do their usual push marketing. Just put olympics streaming on their homepage and require Chrome to view it (like they do on several other HTML5 sites). But they most likely lost the bidding war. There's no doubt they tried tho.

    Funny, another very pro-Microsoft post from h111 the day after another one by a user named h105 that claimed not to be a shill. Odd indeed.

  13. Re:hard drive prices/GB are also dropping on SSD Prices Down 46% Since 2011 · · Score: 1

    Windows 7 can easily handle 8GB of RAM, as long as you have the 64bit version installed. Did you mean to type "Windows XP"?

    This computer is running 16GB of RAM just fine on Windows XP x64.

  14. Re:All part of their retro-COBOL strategy on Microsoft Ignores Usability With All-Caps Menu in Visual Studio · · Score: 1

    Tell me about it... I play sitting 8-10 feet back on my TV and it's really hard to see. WoW had an option right on the chat window to increase the font, which was essential for me. It's not that I have bad eyes, quite the opposite in fact, but it just gets really tiring trying to read the unnecessarily small print.

  15. Re:No on Is Facebook Working On a Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Amen to that. I can browse Facebook on my phone faster through a browser than through the app.

  16. Re:Naked Mile on U. Chicago's Epic Scavenger Hunt Is Back For 2012 · · Score: 1

    The still shots for the related videos, however, are a bit less work safe.

  17. Re:Probably lost the sale, too! on Russian Superjet 100 Crashes During Demo Flight, Killing All Aboard · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm not sure where you're sitting but... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_spaceflight-related_accidents_and_incidents

    "About two percent of the manned launch/reentry attempts have killed their crew, with Soyuz and the Shuttle having almost the same death percentage rates."

    Looks like it's 2 to 2 on fatal space missions and even money on number of deaths as well.

  18. Re:upgraded to include... on Astronomers Find Most Distant Protocluster of Galaxies · · Score: 1
  19. Re:Ice anyone? on Coming to an Ice Cream Shop Near You: Soft Serve Beer · · Score: 3, Informative

    The problem with that is that the stones (Soapstone) only are really good at lightly chilling small amounts of liquid. Your Scotch/Whiskey will not be ice cold, just chilled, and only if you pour it in small quantities.

    I bought my stones with that idea in mind, but it just doesn't work out. They are fantastic for what they were designed for though.

  20. Re:Mac's don't get malware on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 4, Informative

    You're right how dare they, "get infected with BackDoor.Flashback.39 after a user is redirected to a bogus site from a compromised resource or via a traffic distribution system. JavaScript code is used to load a Java-applet containing an exploit."?

    "According to some sources, links to more than four million compromised web-pages could be found on a Google SERP at the end of March. In addition, some posts on Apple user forums described cases of infection by BackDoor.Flashback.39 when visiting dlink.com."

    Gotta be careful downloading all of that "kracked shit" from manufacturer's own websites.

  21. Re:For this you want a professional product on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Tax Software? · · Score: 1

    I used H&R Block this year and the only charge was to have them do my state filing in addition to my federal. The deposit comes from the IRS, so the only thing they can charge for there is if you want them to pay you an advance on it.

  22. Re:So how come they are "smart" meters? on FBI Says Smart Meter Hacks Are Likely To Spread · · Score: 1

    One would think. Your probably being optimistic though.

    (Yes, I know)

  23. Re:Chemical contamination ? on Lego Mindstorms Used To Make Artificial Bones · · Score: 1

    In fact they say it in the video. The part is dipped in a water bath after being exposed to each chemical. There is a separate water bath for each that can be seen clearly.

    Like a movie, sequel.

  25. Re:SmartCar on MIT Media Lab Rolls Out Folding Car · · Score: 1

    If you watch the video you will hear the fact that the car is half scale.
