  1. No you didn't on Dashcams Going High-Def, High-Tech · · Score: 1

    The camera board is a pre-order and not available yet.

  2. Re:only recommended if you need to stay on 8.x on FreeBSD 8.4 Released · · Score: 2

    The difference between Linux and *BSD has never been wider. I love BSD because of how /etc is configured. Linux made a mess of things and with massive scripts and subdirectories. Things have changed so much since the 2.0 kernel days its almost an entirely new OS.

  3. Run VNC then on Clearing Up Wayland FUD, Misconceptions · · Score: 0

    Put that ancient remote session shit inside a module or run VNC. Some of us want a fast responsive GUI that doesn't rely on 30 year old protocols. Going from a windows box to something running X feels like jogging in mud.

  4. Re:kits for sale online on Keyless Remote Entry For Cars May Have Been Cracked · · Score: 2

    Care to back up this statement?

  5. jailbreak != breaking encryption on Keyless Remote Entry For Cars May Have Been Cracked · · Score: 1

    The encryption on these devices was not broken. It was bypassed due to a software vulnerability.

  6. Re:What? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Old Copper Pair Technology? · · Score: 1

    Because 1 Mbps is indistinguishable from 100 Mbps to the average person. Until you get into streaming Netflix which needs 3 Mbps the average person can't tell.

  7. What? on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Future of Old Copper Pair Technology? · · Score: 2

    Tons of people still use DSL. Not every local phone co is running fiber and who in their right mind would buy from Comcast?

  8. Re:News For Nerds on Activist Admits To Bugging US Senate Minority Leader · · Score: 1

    Because the admins of Slashdot are too fucking lazy to actually read submissions, check the links, and run a spell/grammar check. Instead we get random shit like this or blatant advertisements for the "most extreme usb drive ever".

  9. Re:This is shocking on Activist Admits To Bugging US Senate Minority Leader · · Score: 1

    Anyone that reads only one news source is equally guilty, be it Democracy Now or Foxnews.

  10. Re:Fuck backwards compatability on Vastly Improved Raspberry Pi Performance With Wayland · · Score: 1

    CAD has progressed way beyond simple 2D drawings. Let's see you run Solidworks over an X11 session. I'm not a gamer but I do like a responsive GUI. Run VNC if you want remote desktops.

  11. Re:Time to bust out the Thermite on Judge Orders Child Porn Suspect To Decrypt His Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Do you even know what thermite is, how its created, or ignited?

  12. I don't recall on Judge Orders Child Porn Suspect To Decrypt His Hard Drives · · Score: 2

    Pay attention to any politician or cop who has to testify under oath. Use their magic words "I don't recall". At this point they already know the drives are his.

  13. Fuck backwards compatability on Vastly Improved Raspberry Pi Performance With Wayland · · Score: 4, Insightful

    99% of Linux users want desktop performance, not remote desktop performance. Put that legacy remote shit into a module if you want.

  14. Re:Unions on How the Smartphone Killed the Three-day Weekend · · Score: 1

    Unions priced themselves out of business. They demanded outrageous wages and concessions so the companies moved overseas. Some places you can't even change a light bulb or move a desk without calling in union workers. Sorry but you aren't worth $40 per hour to push a button or turn a bolt on an assembly line.

  15. Re:Unions on How the Smartphone Killed the Three-day Weekend · · Score: 1

    Have you priced Mercedes/Audi/BMW against American cars? Excluding that new $30k Merc they all cost twice as much.

  16. Unions on How the Smartphone Killed the Three-day Weekend · · Score: 0

    Yeah unions are great. That steel industry sure is kicking ass and the cost/quality of American cars can't be beat!

  17. Thank you on How To Hack Twitter's Two-Factor Authentication · · Score: 0

    Seriously who gives a fuck about twitter and who puts so much weight into what is said?

  18. Great! on Intel's Linux OpenGL Driver Faster Than Apple's OS X Driver · · Score: 2, Funny

    Great news for all those OpenGL games out there like Minecraft and um....

  19. 5% on Google Chrome 27 Is Out: 5% Faster Page Loads · · Score: 2, Insightful

    CPUs are magnitudes faster today than they were 10 years ago. Why is it that pages still take seconds to load? Go back 10 years and they still took the same amount of time. Why?

  20. Re:Yeah, its not a coincidence on John McAfee's Belize Home Burns To Ground · · Score: 2

    So what is the benefit to keeping his name in the press?

  21. Change on US Government Monitoring Associated Press Phone Records · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yeah some real change from the John Ashcroft days...

  22. Re:Very un-PC on IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    Probably the one I was at. But yea he has a valid point. The Republicans from the 1990s are nothing like the so called Republicans today. They don't spend less and they don't try and make the government any smaller. They don't stand for personal freedom or privacy unless it has anything to do with guns.

  23. Re:Not from what I've seen on Bill Gates: iPad Users Are Frustrated They Can't Type Or Create Documents · · Score: 1

    I'll never understand that. You basically bought two cheap laptops for the price of a single iPad and keyboard dock.

  24. Re:Wow on Sophisticated Apache Backdoor In the Wild · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Who even does that in the first place? OpenBSD gives you a daily email containing all changes to config files that have occurred.

  25. What? on Salesforce, a Pillow Maker and a $125k AmEx Bill · · Score: 5, Funny

    Clearly news for nerds, a boring legal battle in a slightly incomprehensible summary.
