  1. Re:Why not keep classic forever? on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    The same reason they keep updating Gnome and KDE, to keep people busy. People fail to realize at some point there is a peak of usability and perfection. But no, people keep wanting to change things.

  2. If only on Designer Seeds Thought To Be Latest Target By Chinese · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those Chinese spies could steal the slashdot beta code!

  3. Re:Dear MyCleanPC, on With HTTPS Everywhere, Is Firefox Now the Most Secure Mobile Browser? · · Score: 1

    Any half competent admin could write some sort of filter script to get rid of this spam. I give this domain another year or so before it starts to cost Dice money and they park it.

  4. Re:Yes, I read it before on Russia's Dyatlov Pass Incident May Have Been Explained By Modern Science · · Score: -1

    You're a pretentious cunt. The last stages of hypothermia cause people to UNDRESS. Check medical sources and Wikipedia if you want.

  5. Finally! on Finnish Hacker Isolates Helicopter GPS Coordinates From YouTube Video Sounds · · Score: 5, Interesting

    A story worthy of slashdot. Please post more of these (not being sarcastic).

  6. Re:Can someone please kill the fucker on Quentin Tarantino Vs. Gawker: When Is Linking Illegal For Journalists? · · Score: 1

    The whole DeCSS trial started it. The first ruling made hyperlinking illegal so everyone here tried to be edgy by posting the URL so it could be copied and pasted instead.

  7. Re:Oh please on 23-Year-Old Chess Grandmaster Whips Bill Gates In 71 Seconds · · Score: 1

    In other words you are spouting bullshit and don't know. Let me guess, you were born in 1992?

  8. Re:Gates was lucky, not smart. on 23-Year-Old Chess Grandmaster Whips Bill Gates In 71 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Yeah sounds like a total dumbass here http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/B...

  9. Oh please on 23-Year-Old Chess Grandmaster Whips Bill Gates In 71 Seconds · · Score: 1

    I don't see you contributing anything useful. Can you elaborate on what was held back during these decades? Graphical interfaces? TCP/IP? Filesystems? Talk about armchair history buffs.

  10. Just wait on Michaels Stores Investigating Possible Data Breach · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As soon as the cost of chip and pin is less than the cost of security breaches they will switch. My US credit cards have problems in Canada now because everything there expects chip and pin.

  11. Re:poor fan boys on GPUs Dropping Dead In 2011 MacBook Pro Models · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding me? I can buy ten cheap laptops for the price of one new macbook pro. Hell throw one away every few months and you might still outlast Apple.

  12. Re:Stop please on TrueCrypt Master Key Extraction and Volume Identification · · Score: 1

    I meant Ubuntu sends crash reports and memory dumps. Oh and Sun has had hot swappable CPUs since the 90s. Although I don't think anyone (sparc or x86) has ever seen an actual failed CPU.

  13. Stop please on TrueCrypt Master Key Extraction and Volume Identification · · Score: 1

    Oh man windows crashes, you must have been the life of the fucking party in 1996. Your wit knows no bounds, I am humbled by your comedic genius. Of course Ubuntu does the same thing you just described...

  14. What I'd like on FISA Judges Oppose Intelligence Reform Proposals Aimed At Court · · Score: 1

    Is someone to identify all these FISA judges and get their personal information out there. Kind of like the documentary about the people on the secret MPAA ratings board (which is a brilliant documentary).

  15. Haha that's a good one on Doctors Say Food Stamp Cuts Could Cause Higher Healthcare Costs · · Score: 2

    You're telling me that the people who use food stamps spend it on healthy items like fruit or oatmeal? The only thing I ever see people using EBT cards for is buying carts of TV dinners and bottles of pop. Add some potato chips and hotdogs to round it out. EBT should only work on certain items like WIC does.

  16. Re:From the NSA? or just kinda near them...ish? on Firewall Company Palo Alto Buys Stealthy Startup Formed By Ex-NSAers · · Score: 2

    Maybe he knows something we don't and plans to capitalize on it?

  17. Re:Waitwhat. on Firewall Company Palo Alto Buys Stealthy Startup Formed By Ex-NSAers · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd call that deep experience. Most people suspected them of having some hidden backdoors or listening powers but no one had proof. I'd call their campaign pretty successful until Edward Snowden blew the doors open.

  18. Oh great on CES: Laser Headlights Edge Closer To Real-World Highways · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wonder how much this is going to cost and how much a replacement costs when it burns out. I'd love an Audi but they don't seem to score high on reliability.

  19. All or nothing on US Justice Blocks Implementation of ACA Contraceptive Mandate · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    You either have healthcare or you don't. No picking and choosing what procedures or medications fit your chosen lifestyle.

  20. Re:Repost! on How One Man Fought His ISP's Bad Behavior and Won · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Most of the "news" on here is days or even weeks old by the time its posted. I remember when sites actually linked to slashdot for news.

  21. Fucking kill it already on X11/X.Org Security In Bad Shape · · Score: 1, Insightful

    X had its day in the sun. I want a responsive and fast GUI with network connectivity being somewhere in 10th place. Make that socket/DRI/whatever they cooked up this year into a module so the rest of us don't suffer.

  22. What? on Linux Distributions Storing Wi-Fi Passwords In Plain Text · · Score: 1

    None of you know what you are talking about.

  23. What? on Chromebooks Have a Lucrative Year; Should WinTel Be Worried? · · Score: 1

    Since when did Google invent any of those?

  24. Let me guess on How the Dark Lord of the Internet Made His Fortunes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    His fines are still less than what his income was? Oh and some probation will really punish him too!

  25. Oh I used it on Microsoft's Ticking Time Bomb Is Windows XP · · Score: 1

    At work we set up a new Dell box that came with 8 and a touchscreen. Right off the bat it wants to calibrate the screen. Ok it says to move the mouse to the upper right corner. Except they mean to use your finger to move the cursor, you never touch the mouse. What the fuck...? Everyone agrees 8 is great on a phone or tablet but on a desktop its a crippled ugly mess. People used to call XP the Fisher Price interface. 8 looks like it was designed using ASCII graphic blocks.
