  1. Having worked in application support for 5 years on How Do You Get Better Bug Reports From Users? · · Score: 1

    I got one trick for users that just cannot explain properly what their issue is. Nowadays everyone got phones that can record a video, make them record their screen (this skips the step of having them install a screen capture tool).

  2. Green? on Richard Branson Plans Orbital Spaceships For Virgin Galactic · · Score: 1

    Doesn't he claim to be green? Rocket travel is just about the most environment unfriendly thing you can do.

  3. ohh wow no physical buttons? on BlackBerry Looking To Quench 'Insatiable Demand' For New Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Yes, lets make "touch" gaming even shittier than it already is.
    Cannot wait for the gamers to be punted back into the main menu because they inadvertently entered a gesture. First thing I had to disable on the Ipad...

  4. First ever to request files instead of paper? on Former Microsoft Managers Now In Charge of Washington State's Budget · · Score: 1

    And you guys are somehow making this into a bad thing. It's laughable that apparently they've been using paper before.

  5. How is using up more electricity "Go Green" on Ask Slashdot: Enterprise Bitcoin Mining For Go-Green Initiatives? · · Score: 1

    Save the energy, let unused system sleep.

  6. Re:American Wage Slaves are an Even Better Value on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 1

    Great Idea, make them move the headquarters out of the US as well.

  7. Re:Backfire on Piriform Asks BleachBit To Remove Winapp2.ini Importer · · Score: 1

    it does offer cleaning other profiles, just not in the free version, you have to use the corporate version.

    Been using CCleaner for years, will however now also try BleachBit in addition.

  8. Re:Crap on Swiss Federal Lab Claims New World Record For Solar Cell Efficiency · · Score: 1

    "What makes it go?"

    Was that physics book that Feynman loved so much written by you?

  9. thermonuclear on TSMC Preparing To Manufacturer A6X Chip As Apple Looks to Ditch Samsung · · Score: 1

    So that's thermonuclear now.
    Better go on a fruitinarian diet now Samsung, it will help to cleanse the radiation & "detox", whatever the fuck that means.

  10. Re:Why not both? on ITU To Choose Emergency Line For Mobiles: 911, or 112? · · Score: 1

    Implement BOTH, while declaring one to be the WINNER.
    So that in one or two generations we can disable the loser of the two. Carrying two just for that purpose just doesn't make much sense long term.

  11. Re:Source on Huawei Offers 'Complete and Unrestricted' Source Code Access · · Score: 1

    I am sorry, it was never about security. It's about racism and xenophobia. Am I the only one that can see that is the reasons why gov. have a specific chip on their shoulders regarding anything Chinese.

  12. It's good enough, and Vista/7 just plain aren't on Microsoft Urges Businesses To Get Off XP · · Score: 1

    much better.

    I use both XP and 7, and had used Vista before. I use XP on most of my virtuals. I like just about 4 new features.

    1.) Pin app to taskbar.
    2.) Shift Right click "Copy as Path". (very easy to retrofit).
    3.) The improved "Search Programs and Files".
    4.) "Real" x64 support. (WinXP x64 is much more of a edited Windows 2003 build and finding drivers for it is hard).

    In fact, XP had no feature whatsoever over Win2K, but it did offer some big improvements for the corporate side of things just as (much better) WMI and GPO.

  13. Re:Fuck Boxee on Boxee TV's Unlimited Cloud-based DVR Holds Users Hostage To Monthly Fees · · Score: 1

    For some stupid reasons (I needed a streaming player now) i also bought one.
    I am much happier with my new RaspberryPi media center in the other room controlled via HEC,
    Since they're not good guys, they could at least open up the older boxee boxes for custom (read XBMC) firmwares.

  14. Re:Broadcast yourself? on Libertarian Candidate Excluded From Debate For Refusing Corporate Donations · · Score: 1

    and yell at the TV while your at it. Works great!

  15. Re:Not really surprising. on Ubisoft Uplay DRM Found To Include a Rootkit · · Score: 2

    +1 to that. A global flag in steam to hide them. With 30%+ using this flag devs would wise up.

  16. On Desktop OS yet? on Google Outs 3D Maps For iOS Ahead of Apple · · Score: 1

    I tried Google Earth for Windows but I don't see the 3D maps on it yet. It seems Google really hates PC's now, they just abandoned iGoogle too. My main device will always be a PC or PC like device (Mouse/Keyboard), not some silly touch device.

  17. Re:you're all worthless and weak on Are We Failing To Prepare Children For Leadership In the US? · · Score: 1

    As I fellow swiss I do agree that collecting the bullets is a fun activity. It's like a treasure hunt :)
    Not sure if we were aware that lead was poisonous at the time.

  18. Re:300 Acceptable? on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 1

    With Analog modem I used to get around 150ms.
    ISDN modems are 80-120ms.

    Yes, a gamer will remember these numbers :)

  19. Great way to make teachers hate slow kids on NYC To Release Teacher Evaluation Data Over Union Protests · · Score: 2

    I think bad for everyone. Got a class of bright kids, you will look awesome. Got a class of a few bright kid and mostly below average, you'll have to do everything for larger group as improving just the few bright kids wont make an impact. IMO, teacher cannot be measured by the kinds test results alone.

  20. Re:Delicious Pro-Nuclear butthurt tears on NRC Releases Audio of Fukushima Disaster · · Score: 1

    Actually let's be honest and say people like you caused the 571 deaths, because well... it's true. The panic style evacuation encouraged by fear mongering left patients and old people stranded while the caregivers had run for the hills. Thanks for that, I hope you can gloat more about your 573.

  21. Re:The law of diminishing returns applies on Is Overclocking Over? · · Score: 1

    Almost irrelevant for games. I got 6 or 12GB of ram. The whole game will be loaded into RAM, no need for an SSD.
    I am sorry I do not care how "Fast" my Word and Excel apps feel.

  22. Re:Artificial Test in an Artificial World ... on Yahoo, Facebook Test "Six Degrees of Separation" · · Score: 1

    I've seen teenagers (my niece) post these spam thing, like say a number and I will tell you what I think of you.
    To around 50% of the people he said: Mhhh I am not sure who you are!

  23. Re:Vacation on IT Crises vs. Vacation: Sometimes It Isn't Pretty · · Score: 1

    I hope you never read your private email at work because that is the COMPANIES time, not yours to play around

  24. Re:Its been done before on Facebook Helps Israel Blacklist Air Travellers · · Score: 1

    This is a very very one sided "summary" of the issue.
    Also, this is a huge assumption that they "don't want" isreali citzenship. They don't want second or third class citzenship, but I bet even that some of them would take it.

  25. Re:Serious question; on Germany To End Nuclear Power By 2022 · · Score: 1

    Any plans for Hybrid or Electric cars in Germany or will they stay with fussil fuels there too? I guess It makes sense now that they'll have no power they can bury that idea.
