  1. I'm pretty sure the tv has DLNA. How do you make it connect to VLC?

  2. My so called smart tv can play files from Windows shared folders. What I wish is that VLC could play streams to it instead.

  3. Re:Thank you Slashdot! on Kid Racks Up $5,900 Bill Playing Jurassic World On Dad's iPad (pcmag.com) · · Score: 1

    Every other news outlet covered it days ago. Slashdot is lucky to post stories within a week of them breaking.

  4. Re:Oh no! on Linode Under DDoS Since Christmas (linode.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The janitors who run this site can't even be bothered to hyperlink Linode to Wikipedia.

  5. Talk about a lame troll. The domain expired long ago.

  6. So don't fucking buy it then. Are you also upset that you can't drop a Toyota engine into a Chrysler?

    I'm still using a first generation Intellimouse. Love the layout.

  8. MOD UP on APT Speed For Incremental Updates Gets a Massive Performance Boost · · Score: 0

    Re-inventing the wheel again (poorly) because Pottering can't be bothered to read a man page.

  9. How the tax collection agency goes after this guy and not the FBI. Shows the real priorities of Uncle Sam.

    What are you even talking about "rotate based on size"?

    If you're buying cheap chinese test equipment you know the risks involved.

    She was a black woman and therefor automatically right in everything she does.

    These logs need a completely different set of tools to manipulate the text.

  14. Re:Won't work on Ask Slashdot: Any Dishwasher Hackers Out There? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Rigol oscilloscopes. One minor software change and now your 50Mhz scope now magically works at 100Mhz.

  15. Re:Study was written by two women on Star Wars Fans and Video Game Geeks 'More Likely To Be Narcissists,' Study Finds (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    What does the gender of the researchers have to do with anything? If all sources are cited and all numbers are correct, you really can't say much.

  16. So name them already on Ask Slashdot: How To Deal With a Persistent and Incessant Port Scanner? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Lets hear who it is.

  17. Re:Money for nothin... on Tim Cook Calls Apple's Tax Questions 'Political Crap' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Say Apple did pay those $60 billion in taxes. Would I see the end results of that? Would they pave some of the awful roads around here or fix some of the bridges with an "F" rating? In my daily life it would make absolutely no difference at all.

  18. Re:Boeing Dirt Boxes on Catalogue of Government Gear For Cellphone Spying (theintercept.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    How do you think Boeing got those sweet subsidies? By playing ball.

    Chrome. Now before anyone mentions calling home to Google and spying on you, can anyone demonstrate this behavior? Surely by now someone has captured packets of what is being sent.

    I prefer bakers chocolate.

  21. The temperature sensors would sense this and shut down. A long time ago some review website posted a video of them removing the heatsink from a P4 with a game running. Not much happened, the game froze up and the CPU shut down. They did the same thing to an AMD K7, it let off a wisp of smoke and died.

  22. Re:But "makers" on The Death of Electronic Surplus (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Are they selling test equipment and electronics for pennies on the dollar? Not likely.

  23. Re:Is there a downside to upgrading to 10? on Microsoft Will Resume Pushing Windows 10 To Machines With Win7, 8.1 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 2

    I removed all the live tiles and now there is nothing but a huge empty space where they were supposed to be. I know there are alternatives to the classic start menu but I refuse to rely on a third party add on. This is something broken by design.

  24. Re:Umm...ok! on Court: 'Repugnant' Online Discussions Aren't Thoughtcrime (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    No it was way more detailed. He was researching how long chloroform is effective and also used his access to police databases to look up potential victims. Separately its not that sketchy but all together its the planning of a crime.

    Who watches those TED talks? Most are boring as hell with people spouting off about ideas that are unrealistic.
