  1. Cheat code on British Researchers 'Gamify' Cancer Cure Search · · Score: 1

    It will be awesome when some gamer comes up with the "Up up down down left right B A" combo to defeat cancer.

  2. Bullshit on Can You Potty Train a Cow? · · Score: 1

    I felt like everyone kind of missed the obvious joke.

  3. Re:No thanks on Thoughts On the iPad Mini · · Score: 1

    Don't worry, I've read enough Gruber stuff to know better.

  4. The Wire on Police Don't Need a Warrant To Track Your Disposable Cellphone · · Score: 1

    The Wire has officially been deprecated.

  5. Re:No thanks on Thoughts On the iPad Mini · · Score: 0

    Yeah, they lost me at "John Gruber" and "thoughtful".

  6. Re:Incremental updates? on Custom Android ROM Developers Get OTA Update Capabilities Like Carriers · · Score: 1

    Sense is a bloated beast. Sense roms are about 550, as I said. AOSP (CM10) is 150. HTC is the worst.

  7. Re:Incremental updates? on Custom Android ROM Developers Get OTA Update Capabilities Like Carriers · · Score: 1

    I usually wipe once every week or two on nightlies unless I'm getting a lot of force closes or reboots. For me, the downloads are the biggest time (and battery) suck. I'm not on Sense on my Evo LTE anymore, but the base rom is about 550mb. That is huge.

  8. Incremental updates? on Custom Android ROM Developers Get OTA Update Capabilities Like Carriers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I would be highly interested if I could download incremental updates (patches?). Who wants to download 70-600mb of data for every nightly?

  9. Cool... on IE10 Will Have 'Do Not Track' On By Default · · Score: 1

    After this comes out, I'll give it a try on Ubuntu.

  10. Re:Ron Paul is an idiot on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 4, Funny
  11. Re:Subsidies inflate pricing. on Ron Paul Wants To End the Federal Student Loan Program · · Score: 1

    Lots of rent seeking. I know a number of people who would have, a priori, been better off just heading straight into the workforce or finding a trade to do. I also know a number of people who got a degree and went into another field, either by choice or by circumstance (eg, not finding a job), and could have ended up the same place without college. I think in either situation, these people may have thought different about their choice to go to school based on the availability (or lack there of) of school loans.

  12. Re:What happens to Clear? on Sprint Details Shift To LTE · · Score: 1

    Clear actually owns the Wimax network. Sprint leases spectrum from Clear. Nice little hedge they had there.

  13. Re:uhh... on Sprint Details Shift To LTE · · Score: 4, Informative

    The submitter is wrong. They said they would sell Wimax devices through 2012. They will mostly likely support Wimax for far long than that.

  14. Re:Huh? on Samsung Hires Steve 'Cyanogen' Kondik · · Score: 2

    They asked him in the cease and desist to remove the proprietary Google apps (Gmail, Reader, or whatever) from the package. They are available as a separate flashable zip.

  15. Re:It's a preliminary injunction on Sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab Blocked in the EU · · Score: 1

    Samsung should go with the "You'll poke your eye out, kid!" defense.

  16. Oh Uncle Jesse... on Macs More Vulnerable Than Windows For Enterprise · · Score: 1

    Have mercy!

  17. Vermiculture on Bill Gates Looks to Reinvent the Toilet · · Score: 1

    How about a worm composting toilet? From what I hear, they are nearly odorless and use no water. You can even throw other stuff in there like cardboard and food stuffs. http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Your-Own-Worm-Compost-System

  18. Re:I like buying phones directly on Nexus One a Failed Experiment In Online Sales · · Score: 1

    It was made by HTC. I don't think you get much more HW oriented than that.

  19. Re:Testing on Twitter Bug Lets Users Force Others To Follow Them · · Score: 1

    I could definitely see "unaccept (username)" coming in really handy over here at /.

  20. Re:What about CTRL and Fc on Does Your PC Really Need a SysRq Button Anymore? · · Score: 1

    I've pried the Fn key off of every Lenovo I've ever owned. I work in spreadsheets constantly so Ctrl+arrow, Ctrl+C, and Ctrl+V are my top three short cuts to use. I tried and tried to find a way to remap, but in the end, popping the key off completely worked best.

  21. Too easy... on Australian Student Balloon Rises 100,000 Feet, With a Digital Camera · · Score: 1

    Look at Slashdot just lobbing up softballs. Swing away, folks...

  22. Nigel Tufnel told me: on DHS Ponders "Improving" Terrorism Alert System · · Score: 1

    This terror scale goes up to eleven...

  23. 230? on Chevy Volt Rated At 230 mpg In the City · · Score: 1

    230? I hope this car will get me to the dentist! LOL!

  24. Estonia... on Emigrating To a Freer Country? · · Score: 1

    According to a slightly old State of World Liberty study, Estonia is has the most personal freedoms and is considered the most libertarian nation. http://www.stateofworldliberty.org/index.html

  25. Two greatest words in the English language! on On the Humble Default · · Score: 1

    DE FAULT!
