  1. Doesn't have to be Wifi on Wi-Fi Problems Dog Apple-Samsung Trial · · Score: 1

    I have a pair of wireless gaming headphones that use the same 2.4Ghz band as Wifi but not the same protocol. Some people have interference problems and have to change the channel for their AP.

  2. Re:What version does OpenBSD use? on Heartbleed OpenSSL Vulnerability: A Technical Remediation · · Score: 1

    Theo claims OpenBSD is unaffected. http://undeadly.org/cgi?action...

  3. Re:But Terrizm! on Most Expensive Aviation Search: $53 Million To Find Flight MH370 · · Score: 1

    If that happened why would the pilot simply not have lowered the altitude? Above 13,000 feet oxygen is required. He could have easily dropped lower.

  4. LOL on Illustrating the Socioeconomic Divide With iOS and Android · · Score: 1

    You think Apple doesn't sell advertising metrics and other stats? I guarantee Apple does the exact same thing Google does but they don't tell you.

  5. Real Work on London Council Dumping Windows For Chromebooks To Save £400,000 · · Score: 1

    What resource taxing applications do you think politicians use? Probably 90% of the time is documents and spreadsheets and the rest playing on the internet or solitaire.

  6. Too dim on The Connected Home's Battle of the Bulbs · · Score: 2

    Is 60 watts the new 100 watts or something? 60 is too dim. Is anyone making 100 watt equivalents or is bright light now a victim of the green movement?

  7. It was pretty easy to figure out what was going on. It was a big Ponzi scheme. He took all the money and hid it somewhere. Now blame it going missing on evil hackers and live off the hidden stash.

  8. My problem on Why Darmok Is a Good Star Trek: TNG Episode · · Score: 1

    Is the translation software suddenly doesn't work for this alien race. They had a mini crystal civilization living on a rock inside the lab and the computer had no problems translating that never before heard language. Now all of a sudden nobody can figure these people out?

  9. So many blade servers on Used IT Equipment Can Be Worth a Fortune (Video) · · Score: 2

    So many good blade servers show up on ebay with pretty decent specs but they are useless without the rack to supply power and most lack a way for adding video. I'm talking about 3 year old blades with dual quad core Xeons and 8Gb of memory for $50. Even if you did rig one up the cooling fans would be deafening for desktop use.

  10. Re:Intel on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And a midrange i5 CPU will beat AMD's top of the line FX-8350, so what is your point? Both of those cost the same.

  11. His debate on How Did Bill Nye Become the Science Guy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Most scientists told him not to debate the creationists as it only brings more attention to them. Well it really happened and now the people he debated received enough money and even MUNICIPAL BONDS to build a life sized Ark. Thanks Bill Nye.

  12. Haha on Why San Francisco Is the New Renaissance Florence · · Score: 1

    If you like everything being expensive and high crime then I guess San Francisco is the place for you. Don't forget about the awful weather and huge homeless population. Actually it sounds like a liberal paradise.

  13. Re:If I were Samsung on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: 1

    I think Samsung still makes the NAND flash.

  14. If I were Samsung on Apple Demands $40 Per Samsung Phone For 5 Software Patents · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I'd cease all production of the chips that Apple buys. See if you can find a new fab on short order.

  15. The Supreme Court almost always means the United States Supreme Court. You could just as easily say the California Supreme Court or Ohio Supreme Court. See isn't that easy and way more clear?

  16. Haha on Crowdsourcing Confirms: Websites Inaccessible on Comcast · · Score: 1

    The guy writes perl scripts and has never used "nslookup" before.

  17. SCOTUS on Embarrassing Stories Shed Light On US Officials' Technological Ignorance · · Score: 0, Troll

    That acronym annoys me to no end. Are we in the days of Western Union telegraphs that charge per letter? Would it kill you to type out the Supreme Court?

  18. Good, more for me on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    I'm just about full carnivore so whatever meat you guys are trying to avoid I'll take. The drop in demand should drop the prices as well. How old do you really want to live to? At some point it becomes hell.

  19. Linux mentality today on Open Source Video Editor Pitivi Seeks Crowdfunding to Reach 1.0 · · Score: 1

    More scripts that call other scripts. Look at the mess systemd has become. If something doesn't work god help you because its not all logged or logging is done in binary. Look at GNU radio, Instead of doing something natively it all relies on slow as fuck python scripts.

  20. Their answer on Ubuntu 14.04 Brings Back Menus In Application Windows · · Score: 1

    If you don't like it, change it yourself!

  21. Global menus? on Ubuntu 14.04 Brings Back Menus In Application Windows · · Score: 1

    You mean like the old versions of MacOS? What are these Linux people smoking?

  22. Re:tl;dr on Are Bankers Paid Too Much? Are Technology CEOs? · · Score: 3, Funny

    and also yes.

  23. Re:Statute of limitations on South Carolina Woman Jailed After Failing To Return Movie Rented Nine Years Ago · · Score: 1

    I can't tell if you're serious or not.

  24. Re:Labview on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 1

    Altium has something similar included. Most of my work is on the analog side of things.

  25. Re:Labview on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I use Labview all the time and it does exactly as advertised. I'm a hardware guy but occasionally need things done in software. Sure its not optimal but it gets the job done.

    How are circuits designed today if they are not drawn?
