  1. Re:Please stop on The Plan To Bring Analytics To eSports · · Score: 1

    If you can be beaten in your "eSport" by a random 12 year old kid then its not a sport. Oh and show me a game where someone had a million viewers.

  2. Please stop on The Plan To Bring Analytics To eSports · · Score: -1, Troll

    There is no such thing as "eSports". Playing games is not a real sport and will never be.

  3. False Flag on San Francisco Fiber Optic Cable Cutter Strikes Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't trust the feds one bit. Especially when they say "The pattern of attacks raises serious questions about the glaring vulnerability of critical Internet infrastructure". In other words they want more funding and more control over backbones. These saboteurs will never be caught.

  4. Re: Linux everywhere. on First Fedora Image For the MIPS Available For Testing · · Score: 1

    How about the SGI SkyWriter?

  5. Re:I'll tell you how- they're turning the internet on How Television Is Fighting Off the Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yes. Sounds like a bargain to me.

  6. Re:Start screen is bullshit on New Leaked Build Is Evidence That Windows 10 Will Be Ready By July 29 · · Score: 1

    Oh the pain from your comment...

    No its a broken design and it shows from all the feedback Microsoft has received.

  7. Start screen is bullshit on New Leaked Build Is Evidence That Windows 10 Will Be Ready By July 29 · · Score: 1

    Their start screen which uses the whole display is bullshit. I literally had no idea you could swipe and see more icons. Nothing indicates that is even possible. No scroll bars or even arrows to show there might be more in another direction. To access the options for the Metro apps you have to swipe the right side of the screen ONLY WHEN ITS LOADING. Seriously, what the fuck?

  8. You don't "brick" software. You "brick" hardware to the point where it is unresponsive to user input and requires intervention at the firmware level.

  9. What is it? on iPhone 6S New Feature: Force Touch · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hey janitors that run this site, don't link to Wikipedia or anything to tell us what "force touch" is.

  10. Thank you! on Ask Slashdot: Are Post-Install Windows Slowdowns Inevitable? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Wish I had mod points for that post. Run Process Explorer and TcpView to see what is going on.

    Dear Slashdot, I am a self proclaimed computer expert. Windows seems slow to me. Give me reasons to install Linux even though I can barely operate Windows.

  11. Great PR team on Taylor Swift: Apple's Disdain For Royalties Is 'Shocking, Disappointing' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Swift has a hell of a PR team. She is in the news practically every other day for something. This is not done out of goodwill, this is a business decision.

  12. Re:Why do people want to run Windows? on Windows 10 Will Be Free To Users Who Test It · · Score: 1

    Let me know when I can run SolidWorks, Altium, and Adobe Premiere in Linux because those are just a few applications I happen to dabble with.

  13. Re:Whats wrong with US society on Privately Owned Armored Trucks Raise Eyebrows After Dallas Attack · · Score: 1

    I could drive my car into a crowd of people, but I don't. What's the difference?

  14. Re:Speaking of "opaque" - Dice, WTF re: comment li on Google Criticized For 'Opaque' Audio-Listening Binary In Debian Chromium · · Score: 4, Insightful

    More minimalist bullshit. If you have to stop and think about what a button or image means then the design is broken. What is wrong with the word "comments"? Why must it now be a cartoon speech bubble?

  15. Re:Infinity on Ask Slashdot: What's the Harm In a Default Setting For Div By Zero? · · Score: 1

    Take a number, say 5. Divide that into zero pieces. Division did not happen so you still have 5.

  16. Re:This makes no sense on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Search Engines Left That Don't Try To Think For Me? · · Score: 1

    Using keywords does not help. You'll see results with the keyword crossed out below.

  17. Re:quotation marks on Ask Slashdot: Are There Any Search Engines Left That Don't Try To Think For Me? · · Score: 1

    Google will still remove words from your searches with this method. I picked that particular word because it was important. If you can't find anything then just tell me. Youtube searches have to be the worst of all. If nothing turns up then your results are pretty much random shit.

  18. Gold plating is worthless on Apple De-Certifies Monster Cables After Lawsuit Against Beats · · Score: 1

    Gold plating connectors is worthless. Gold is super soft to begin with and any time two surfaces scrape there goes the few microns of coating. There is a reason most military gear is silver plated.

  19. Solaris on Ask Slashdot: Feature Requests For Epoch Init System 1.3.0? · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the method Solaris used.

  20. Re:uh, so? on 75% of Russia's Satellite Electronics Come From US · · Score: 1

    I'm kind of shocked there are still chip fabs in the USA.

  21. Re:4 year old i7 920 still plugging along! on Ask Slashdot: What Hardware Is In Your Primary Computer? · · Score: 1

    For some odd reason there is a huge glut of six core Xeon boxes on ebay. Look for anything with the X5650 cpu. Earlier in the year I picked up a X5650 box with 24gb of ram for $350. Hard to beat that price for a complete system. Way quicker than my old Q6600 box.

  22. Or on A Technical Look Inside TempleOS · · Score: 1

    Maybe he just likes calling people niggers?

  23. Cops on Prenda Gets Hit Hard With Contempt Sanctions For Lying To Court · · Score: 1

    For the same reason the police departments investigate themselves and find no wrong doing.

  24. Re:Absence?! on How Ready Is IPv6 To Succeed IPv4? · · Score: 0

    I've been hearing that same scary argument for 15 years. The market has spoken and nobody cares about IPv6. Can you even call up Comcast/Verizon/Charter/AT&T and request IPv6?

  25. Re:to hell with 1,000,000 years How about 40? on How To Store Your Data For 1 Million Years · · Score: 1

    It's an analog world.
