  1. Re:16 Gigabytes RAM costs $100 on Android ICS Will Require 16GB RAM To Compile · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. I pay less and take more. Practice makes perfect.

  2. Not for long... Goodbye, Side Tabs. on No Tab Relocation Coming For Chrome · · Score: 1
  3. There's a Group Policy for that... on Extension To Chrome Brings Remote Desktop Abilities · · Score: 1
  4. That's odd... on Microsoft Killed the Start Menu Because No One Uses It · · Score: 1
  5. That program isn't installed! on Microsoft Killed the Start Menu Because No One Uses It · · Score: 1

    Considering I had to explain just this morning that just because a program's icon isn't on the desktop doesn't mean it isn't installed to multiple people, I can totally understand this move.

    1. Microsoft somehow still gets paid. >:/

  7. Unless it's a Motorola phone. :) on Google Opens First Retail Outlet In London · · Score: 1

    I don't believing they're paying up yet.

  9. What's the problem with the TrimSlice? on Is ARM Ever Coming To the Desktop? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Developer only? What is that non-sense? The TrimSlice ships with Ubuntu ready to use. ~$200 for the feature set is a steal, IMO. Not happy without a Dell logo or something? What's the problem with the TrimSlice?

  10. Re:Free or Free with a catch? on DC Universe Online Goes F2P · · Score: 2

    Free as in now that you're here, shut the fuck up and give us your money!!

  11. Re:really?! on UK Man Jailed For Being a Jerk On the Internet · · Score: 1

    The problem is, how do you precisely quantify the "harm?"

    There's no fraud, only incompetence.

  13. Re:Who uses a desktop anymore? on Windows 8 Desktop 'Just Another App'? · · Score: 1

    Brah, I totally have to see my kick ass wallpaper every now and then. I didn't bitch about Chrome lacking the "set image as wallpaper" in the context menu until I was blue in the face for nothing. I see some tight ass image, set that shit then winkey+d for a good couple hours just to soak in how fucking sex that shit looks. Work? Motherfucker, being fly is my job!

  14. Re:I smell failure... on Windows 8 Desktop 'Just Another App'? · · Score: 1

    The question is if they're not going to load the interface at all, why migrate from Windows 7 to Windows 7?

    Holy Crap

  16. Re:Google tricks on Google Explores Re-Ranking Search Results Using +1 Button Data · · Score: 0

    Yeah, sure, we're just unpaid employees - until their copyrights expire!

  19. Re:I keep saying it The cost of free on Schmidt: G+ 'Identity Service,' Not Social Network · · Score: 1

    Tracking what?! Do you have anything to substantiate your fear, uncertainty, and doubt? How many of the sites and services that you do use collect demographics? How many of the site and services you use have Google Analytics?! If you're on the Internet, you're being "tracked". Someone could data mine your Slashdot posts. I see you like pornography, wii, and can't spell curfew. Get a fucking clue.

  20. Desperate on Schmidt: G+ 'Identity Service,' Not Social Network · · Score: 1

    To undermine Google.

    God's "existence" and falsibility thereof depends on your definition of said god.

  25. Re:Whatever, Forever. on Sluggish Android Tablet Growth May Give Microsoft an Opening · · Score: 1

    Come on over to the Eastern Shore where we are just getting optical mice. My boss "uses" an iPad and I just deployed two Galaxy Tab 10.1 for the warehouse, but I see them as a barely justifiable use cases where just about any other piece of technology could probably fill the role with extreme discomfort. Another employee uses a personal Transformer - but can't let go of Windows/Office and will never realize the device's full potential. All in all throughout my ownership experience I've found the current generation to be mediocre e-readers, pretty poor internet devices, obnoxious to hold... They're a long way from maturity. Also, Android should be dumped for ChromeOS.
