  1. Re:Pulled Fox News ... on Dish Pulls Fox News, Fox Business Network As Talks Break Down · · Score: 1

    I give Rupert Murdoch credit. He found this untapped area of news and cashed in. Getting upset at Fox News is like getting upset at Andy Kaufman wrestling and making fun of southerners.

  2. Re:Dish Customer Here on Dish Pulls Fox News, Fox Business Network As Talks Break Down · · Score: 1

    I would side with Dish in this disagreement. Fox wants to jack up the distribution fees and Dish is telling them no. If the fees go up Dish will pass that right along to you the customer.

  3. Zune was great on Ask Slashdot: Is an Open Source .NET Up To the Job? · · Score: 1

    Every person that has owned or owns a Zune loves it. They had pretty good reviews as well. Bleeding edge is not a good thing BTW.

  4. Media blackout on FBI Confirms Open Investigation Into Gamergate · · Score: 3, Insightful

    There is no media blackout because the media does not care. How could you even condense this whole shit show down into a one minute news story? Outside of the gaming community nobody really cares.

  5. Your job on Ask Slashdot: What Can I Really Do With a Smart Watch? · · Score: 1

    Are any of your reasons for needing your phone related to your job? Can you not go through a workday without playing with your phone? If you need outside communications from the clean room then your employer should provide them.

  6. Re:The Pirate Bay on The Pirate Bay Responds To Raid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Given the acoustics and volumes that bands play I would rather listen outside. If you don't wear earplugs you WILL have hearing damage. Either way earplugs or not its gonna sound muffled.

  7. So... on James Watson's Nobel Medal Sells For $4.1 Million · · Score: 1

    He still came out a winner? Just like the guy who sold the basketball team to Paul Allen for $2 billion.

  8. clock speeds yes on Orion Capsule Safely Recovered, Complete With 12-Year-Old Computer Guts · · Score: 4, Informative

    The clock speed is the same but I guarantee even the lowest end AMD would destroy anything 12 years old in terms of work.

  9. Re:Yes another developer lead down the path .... on DOOM 3DO Source Released On Github · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Ask all those steel workers how their union is going. Oh wait we don't have any steel workers anymore because they priced themselves out of a job.

  10. Re:The fact remains... on DOOM 3DO Source Released On Github · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah the homebrew 3DO community will love this.

  11. Re:What's happening to Linux? on Bad Lockup Bug Plagues Linux · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because the Linux mentality is "Does it compile? Then ship it."

  12. What thoroughly useless information. Maybe the dice deals page has something better.

  13. Down on BT Blocking Private Torrent Sites? · · Score: 1

    Gotta be routing issue. Only after a few hops its reported as unreachable.

  14. Doesn't matter on Hacker Threatened With 44 Felony Charges Escapes With Misdemeanor · · Score: 1

    It counts as a "win" and his percentage goes up.

  15. Re:16:9 on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 3, Funny

    I was told there would be no math.

  16. Re:16:9 on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Put the same diagonal size 16:9 and 16:10 monitors side by side and the 16:9 is a few inches shorter. That is a ton of screen real estate.

  17. 16:9 on Eizo Debuts Monitor With 1:1 Aspect Ratio · · Score: 1

    Some people use their monitors for doing work and 16:9 displays are awful. 16:10 is where its at.

  18. Re:Go back in time 5 years on Debian Votes Against Mandating Non-systemd Compatibility · · Score: 1

    Give it a try. FreeBSD runs Linux binaries just fine. You'll be amazed at how clean and orderly everything is compared to your average Linux Distro. Plus the documentation is top notch.

  19. Gigabit wifi? on NYC To Replace Most of Its Payphones With Free Gigabit WiFi In 2015 · · Score: 2

    What exactly is gigabit wifi and what devices support it?

  20. USPS on The Downside to Low Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    Everyone blames republicans for killing the USPS but nobody can explain how it happened with a democratic majority in congress at the time. Who is behind this and what is the outcome supposed to be? Personally I don't care if the USPS goes under. My service from them is so awful.

  21. Re:How about no... on The Downside to Low Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    Not a direct quote but paraphrased from Margaret Thatcher. "The only problem with socialism is eventually you run out of other peoples' money"

  22. Never did trust it on Tor Project Mulls How Feds Took Down Hidden Websites · · Score: 0

    Tor was written by the federal government. Enough said.

  23. Dear Slashdot, on Ask Slashdot: Choosing a Data Warehouse Server System? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Help do my job for me.

  24. Heart attacks on Ask Slashdot: Where Do You Stand on Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 2

    If changing the time by one hour gives you a heart attack then you were really a time bomb to begin with.

  25. Make DST standard on Ask Slashdot: Where Do You Stand on Daylight Saving Time? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Make it DST year round. Daylight in the evening is much better than the mornings. You're going to work in the morning anyhow, who cares how light it is? You get out of work and still have daylight left, awesome.
