  1. Power companies everywhere on The Return of OS/2 Warp Set For 2016 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    Rejoice, power companies! Your crappy old OS/2 systems can be supported again!

  2. Feel like I'm taking crazy pills here. on AMD To Retire Catalyst Control Center Drivers, Rolling Out New Crimson Platform (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    What is this madness? Why is everybody trying to push stupid shit on me? I've been avoiding the Gaming Evolved app for years now. Why do I need this? Has the world gone mad?

  3. Re:Who Cares? on Revisiting Why Johnny Can't Code: Have We "Made the Print Too Small"? · · Score: 1

    Sure, I hear you. But Johnny should at least be able to cook hamburger/tuna/chicken/mystery meat helper, sand away a rough chair surface, change an air filter, stop or slow minor to moderate bleeding, and do basic personal money management.

  4. Re:Welcome to Europe on The Chicago Suburb That's Trying To Kill the Car (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    That's because our Canyoneros tend to kill and maim more people in accidents. That 65 tons of American Pride packs a punch.

  5. Re:Remove casing from a Wallmart clock - get invit on 'Clock Kid' Ahmed Mohamed and His Family To Leave US, Move To Qatar · · Score: 1

    I mean, the arrest was still an overreaction, and I'm still willing to attribute some of that to racism/profiling. That's still an issue, regardless of the kid not being a genius and his parents being attention whores.

  6. Re:Opposing preference— on Is Amazon Harming the E-reader Category? (teleread.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I enjoy a good paper copy of a piece of fiction or prose, but I will never buy another physical technical manual again. Trying to read one with the computer next to it is ridiculous. They can flop their huge selves over to the trash can as far as I'm concerned.

  7. Re:What we need... on US Toddlers Involved In Shootings On a Weekly Basis (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    No, we just need to get tough on toddlers crime. Perhaps it's time for a policy change: The War on Toddlers, presented by Wolf Blitzer.

  8. Solved! on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    Hey, man. I thought those people with crazy Christmas light displays already solved this problem. Power strips and extension cables. Just keep a fire extinguisher handy!

  9. Obligatory Farnsworth on Nissan Creates the Ultimate Distracted Driving Machine · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

  10. Re:EPA standards on VW Fiasco Puts Ethics In Engineering Under the Spotlight, CEO Steps Down · · Score: 1

    CAFE rules are some of the most asinine regulations I've ever seen. We almost didn't get any more small pickups, because they'd all have to get like 45mpg by 2020 - meanwhile giant pickups could skate by with less than 30.

  11. Re:Ashcroft hospitalized over NSA showdown? on George W Bush Made Retroactive NSA 'Fix' After Hospital Room Showdown · · Score: 2

    Definitely a wording problem here. The summary makes it sound like he was beat senseless *because* of his disagreement.

  12. I wonder where people like me fall in the spectrum. I use all three major (or two major/one minor) platforms and generally don't care.

  13. Re:I am fine with 16gb. on Apple's 16GB IPhone 6S Is a Serious Strategic Mistake · · Score: 1

    Two words: iTunes Match

    Two more words: Japanese Music. Good luck finding Number Girl, GO!GO!7188 (beyond a single collection album), Kuroki Nagisa, Silent Siren, J Soul Brothers, Good Morning America, or Chay (Not the wierd looking person going by Chay on iTunes).

  14. Free spying? on Microsoft Backports Start Menu To Windows RT · · Score: 1

    I sure hope I get the spying features for free, too. Just kidding, I probably already have them. It's a good thing my Windows RT device is only used in the kitchen for recipes and streaming media.

  15. Re:Stupid people are stupid on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    You can commit a crime without intent. A person could be in possession of illegal explosives they didn't know were illegal. This kid, however, likely had nothing to warrant criminal charges. I'm not going to jump to immediate conclusions, but this smells like serious bullshit to me.

  16. There goes the neighborhood on Advanced Civilizations Probably Don't Exist In Our Galactic Neighborhood · · Score: 1

    If they were advanced enough to notice us, they probably moved out. Wouldn't you?

  17. Hurry up! on The First Talking, Artificially Intelligent Surveillance Camera · · Score: 1

    Quick! Sell this to a company that manufactures sex dolls! I need my sexbots!

  18. Western releases only? on The Install Size of Every PS4 and Xbox One Game · · Score: 1

    It should be noted that it does not have every PS4 game. The two Yakuza (Ryuu ga Gotoku) PS4 games - Ishin and 0 - are notably absent.

  19. Re:Fuck Microsoft on Windows Telemetry Rolls Out · · Score: 1

    Yours, An Ex Microsoft developer, and a HideyoshiJP.

  20. Re:Oh, they're a big company, on Windows Telemetry Rolls Out · · Score: 1

    That language bothers me as well. It not only sounds vague, but also condescending and non-authoritative. My computer didn't need to be "friendlier."

  21. Re:SlashDot EMPLOYEES? on ThinkGeek Opens First Physical Store In Orlando · · Score: 2

    Unpaid internships are largely illegal.

    I read that as "barely legal." I'll see myself out.

  22. Re:Very apt name for Portuguese speakers on Shifu Banking Trojan Has an Antivirus Feature To Keep Other Malware At Bay · · Score: 1

    Yes, but in Japan, word play is the highest form of humor.

  23. Re:The corps are in danger as well here on Robots Are Coming For Our Jobs, Just Not All of Them · · Score: 1

    Try paying your Comcast bill with the fruits of your robot's labor.

  24. Re:Half the story on A Breakdown of the Windows 10 Privacy Policy · · Score: 1

    This is a very good point, though I'm willing to bet that many of them will not be able to afford the security expertise to have the concern anyway. I'm just waiting to see how firms that perform security audits treat it.

  25. Re:Vital diagnostics on A Breakdown of the Windows 10 Privacy Policy · · Score: 2

    Clearly they're not vital to enterprise customers.
