  1. Re:oh no you dinnit! on Firefox Will Soon Show You Which Tabs Are Making Noise, and Let You Mute Them · · Score: 1

    They will just splice ads right into the content you are watching, like Hulu.

  2. Please Stop on Pro Gamers To Be Tested For Doping · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Calling something an "eSport" will not make it a sport. You like playing video games, I understand that. You are in no way similar to what athletes do in terms of training.

  3. Re:Morse Code on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 1

    Geez grandpa where do you still buy whale oil for your lamps?

  4. OpenSSL on LibreOffice Ported To Run On Wayland · · Score: 1

    How did all that legacy code work for OpenSSL? Oh yeah it was a fucking mess that everyone here installed while spouting off about open source and simultaneously not reading a single line of its code. Once the OpenBSD team took a look they started gutting legacy bullshit. Oh yeah we really need OS/2 and VMS support! While I was a fan of both those operating systems I realize their retirement had long passed.

  5. Re:Hmmm ... on Free Tools For Detecting Hacking Team Malware In Your Systems · · Score: 1

    How do you know your EFI BIOS or hard drive firmware is not compromised?

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

    How did you feel when Windows 7 x64 no longer ran 16 bit applications? Make the remote features into a module. Right now its slow and hobbled together with decades of legacy code.

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

    The majority of Linux users don't use or need the remote features of X. They want a responsive and consistent GUI. Dump all that legacy shit meant for the days of thicknet runs and AUI transceivers. We don't have framebuffers and fixed frequency monitors anymore either.

  8. People use this? on A Quick Leak, As Microsoft Tests the Waters For Cortana On Android · · Score: 1

    Not once have I ever witnessed a person walking down the street and ask their phone a question.

  9. Re:Toxic metals and metalloids on Intel's Tick-Tock Cycle Skips a Beat · · Score: 2

    Sodium and Chlorine being dumped on our roads when it snows? The horror.

  10. Re:Arent botnets on FBI, International Law Units Smash Infamous Hacker Bazaar Darkode · · Score: 1

    I guarantee if the market share of Windows and Linux were switched, you would see just as much malware.

  11. Re:Isn't Flash extinct? on New Default: Mozilla Temporarily Disables Flash In Firefox · · Score: -1

    I care about none of those things. Youtube uses html 5 just fine.

  12. You're a whiny zealot. Companies don't cooperate with you folks because no matter what you will bitch and cry about something. So in the end its easier to just not deal with the one in a million Linux users.

  13. Re:The Struggle on Is the Amazon-Led Economic Boom Wrecking Seattle? · · Score: 0

    A city with no black people? Can't imagine why anyone would want to move there.

  14. Re:WTF on Well-Played: Microsoft Parlays NSF Video 'Remake' Into National CS K-12 Crisis · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, no fucking clue what this is even about.

  15. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Ongoing Suspected Identity Theft? · · Score: 1

    What is it with "SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid"

  16. Re:If I were drinking coffee on UK May Send More People Into Space · · Score: 1

    if they design rockets the same way they design cars then the rocket will need a drip pan to catch the oil leaks.

  17. What hardware had the same MAC on every adapter?

  18. Re:I don't like Wired on Wired Looks Back At 'Mondo 2000' · · Score: 2

    Wired was cool in the 90s but eventually I lost interest and my subscription lapsed. Little did I know in the fine print they would send you to collections for not renewing a subscription. Yes bill collectors were calling me over $12 for not renewing. Imagine a grocery store sending me a bill for NOT buying a box of cereal one week. Fuck Wired.

  19. Scanned copies on Wired Looks Back At 'Mondo 2000' · · Score: 1

    I wish someone would scan the copies and make them available on archive.org.

  20. Re:LOX ... pure liquid oxygen on When Nerds Do BBQ · · Score: 2

    What was that, the first video ever uploaded to the internet?

  21. Re:Oh boy! on Firefox 39 Released, Bringing Security Improvements and Social Sharing · · Score: 1

    No wonder your browser is slow with all that shit.

  22. Re:Oh boy! on Firefox 39 Released, Bringing Security Improvements and Social Sharing · · Score: 1

    Pretty much every Firefox extension exists for Chrome. uBlock and FlashControl are all I use.

  23. Re:How about fixing useful things? on Firefox 39 Released, Bringing Security Improvements and Social Sharing · · Score: 1

    Chrome also supports 50/60 fps playback.

  24. Funny on Samsung Faces Lawsuit In China Over Smartphone Bloatware · · Score: 1

    Where was this answer when Microsoft was bundling IE with Windows and Slashdot was foaming for an AT&T style break up?

  25. Better video chat and social media sharing? Just what I'm lacking in a web browser. Ditched the Palemoon build long ago for Chrome and couldn't be happier.
