  1. Re:Unusable aspect ratio on ASUS PQ321Q Monitor Brings Multi-Stream Tiled Displays Forward · · Score: 1

    Honestly I don't have a problem with 4:3 monitors for desktop use. You must really like scrolling.

  2. Re:Linux? on Microsoft Slashes Prices On Surface · · Score: 2, Funny

    Help me I am trying to swap my Ford engine for a Chevy and it won't fit!

  3. Re:What? on Plug Touts Expandable Storage Via USB Drives Plugged In At Home · · Score: 1

    Let me know when they produce a tangible product.

  4. What? on Plug Touts Expandable Storage Via USB Drives Plugged In At Home · · Score: 0

    Can anyone explain why I would need this and what is the point?

  5. Apple on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 2

    Apple does the same thing as Google, why the outrage when Microsoft is last to implement it?

  6. What's the matter? on Inside the Electronic Frontier Foundation · · Score: 1

    If they are innocent then what to they have to hide? Funny how they don't like their own statements used against them.

  7. Re:I implemented a teensy WWCB transmitter once on WWVB Celebrates 50 Years of Broadcasting Time · · Score: 1

    192KHz sampling rate. Maybe the DAC is capable of outputting a 60KHz signal? Although the I/V converter stages usually do some low pass filtering.

  8. And on WWVB Celebrates 50 Years of Broadcasting Time · · Score: 3, Informative

    It also operates at 5MHz, 10MHz, 15MHz, and 20MHz.

  9. Bring back the IBM T221 ! on AOC's 21:9 Format, 29" IPS Display Put To the Test At 2560x1080 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Seriously, someone needs to start making these panels again http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_T220/T221_LCD_monitors

  10. Lycos? on Yahoo Puts AltaVista To Death · · Score: 1

    Lycos anyone?

  11. Re:Congrats FreeBSD on Happy 20th Birthday, FreeBSD · · Score: 2

    I think ftp.exe from NT 3.51 or even 4.0 was BSD based and that was about all. For something as mature and tested as a simple FTP client why bother re-inventing the wheel? It was legally licensed as well.

  12. *sigh* on Samsung Launches 3200x1800 Pixel ATIV Book 9 Plus Laptop · · Score: 1, Insightful

    To conform to the UEFI spec there must be a way to disable secureboot. Its really not a big deal. Yes your beloved AMD is just one of the other members of the UEFI group. Secureboot does as much as the TPM module that Slashdot claimed would kill Linux.

  13. Re:Apple's has proprietary ports? on Samsung Launches 3200x1800 Pixel ATIV Book 9 Plus Laptop · · Score: 1

    How about IEE1394?

  14. Re:Go see an expert, you dope on Ask Slashdot: Does LED Backlight PWM Drive You Crazy? · · Score: 1

    Most of it is taking a break and trying to focus on things far away.

  15. Old is new again on Jon 'Maddog' Hall On Project Cauã: a Server In Every Highrise · · Score: 1

    Every few years someone discovers the client/mainframe model.

  16. Because on Legislators Introduce Bill To Stop Set Top Boxes From Watching You · · Score: 1

    The janitors who run this site can barely figure out how to post submissions. Next you'll want spelling/grammar/factual checks.

  17. You know on Kickass Torrents' KAT.ph Domain Seized By Philippine Authorities · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You "editors" could spend all of two minutes to link to the new domain. Or is that too much to ask?

  18. Netburst debacle? on AMD Making a 5 GHz 8-Core Processor At 220 Watts · · Score: 1

    Can anyone explain what the problem was with Netburst chips?

  19. Re:Never hacked? on HP Discontinue OpenVMS · · Score: 1

    The early days had its share of issues (back when it was just VMS). But once those were sorted out it was pretty secure.

  20. Hello and goodbye on NSA WhistleBlower Outs Himself · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Taking bets now on when he has an "accident" or gets to say hello to Bradley Manning.

  21. Look at me! on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    Look at me I'm so unique, I've never even seen a Windows box in person. I bet you don't own a TV either and pride yourself in telling everyone? Win95 sucked hard, I'll give you that. It gave me problems as well. Well not long after a little thing called NT4 was released and suddenly everything worked great.

  22. Re:Try Ubuntu LTS on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    Notepad and Wordpad are two completely different programs meant for completely different things. Works and Word were both demos that timed out after a while. Exactly the same as six text editors that all work poorly.

  23. Re:Linux for years on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    For the majority of users, the operating system telling someone they don't need to look at c: is a good thing. Ntldr, who the fuck needs that, delete!. Let me guess, you probably couldn't figure out how to change the setting in windows to show hidden files,

  24. Linux or Unix? on What Keeps You On (or Off) Windows in 2013? · · Score: 1

    Well what was it? Please tell me you understand the difference. Sun used to do things in the medical imaging business.

  25. Re:Throw away screen. on Dell's New X18: 5 Pounds, 18 Inches · · Score: 1

    Well going by the current trend of laptops stuck at 1366x768 the screen should be fine for a while. I'd love to buy an IBM T221 display but they still go for a good amount used.
