  1. Re:Let's see: on Ask Slashdot: Good, Useful Free Software For Gifts? · · Score: 1

    For torrents use Deluge, it might take up a little bit more RAM or not, I don't really know cause I have on average around 75-90 torrents in it.
    It has all the features you need, you can browse through the files which are nicely put in folders, as you would expect (unlike on uTorrent), and all the other stuff.
    Some time ago it even got a webui. So yeah try it, I've been enjoying it ever since I started using Linux.

  2. Only thing on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    This all looks pretty nice and its very gentle on the eyes, and new icons are really nice.
    But the thing I miss the most is comments count on the summaries on front page.

  3. How about door locks? on Robots May Inspire Suits Against Programmers · · Score: 1

    Does the door locks engineer or company get sued cause a burglar picked the lock? I don't think so.

  4. Don't worry on 4chan Has Been DDOSed · · Score: 3, Funny

    Don't worry they will be slashdotted too.

  5. If this on AMD Radeon HD 6950 Can Be Unlocked To HD 6970 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If people start to buy this kind of "locked" graphic cards and unlock them then the manufacturers will start to cripple the cards for good. Or simply make truly weaker graphic cards instead of limited ones with the same chipset.

  6. Re:Proof Positive on Designer Arrested Over Anonymous Press Release · · Score: 1

    Tapanaris does not translate, at least in Serbian it doesn't and i'm sure 100%, into anything that you described. And for Bulgarian i'm not sure but i think it's also not likely. I don't know how are you able to postulate such a thing based solely on misconception how these languages sound like, and more importantly how are practical jokes done over here. It of course may be possible that this is a converged word, that is to say that only first few letters of few words were pulled out and then combined to make a sound word. If it were up to me it sounds more like Greek then anything else.

  7. Try stuxnet on Simple Virus For Teaching? · · Score: 1

    Try getting yourself one of those stuxnet worms, i hear they are pretty good.

  8. Re:Scary, scary illness on Scientists Find New Target For Alzhiemer's · · Score: 1

    Well yea those two are pretty bad, but have you heard about the mushrooms that you eat only once? It's said that you suffer in pain, hallucinating worst scenarios and such horrible things and it seems(for the one affected it probably is) like an eternity. It lasts for three days. -I don't know which mushroom it is, or if it is as described but it is IMHO the worst death

  9. Re:the printing press on Stallman Crashes Talk, Fights 'War On Sharing' · · Score: 1

    You are right. Many times have i thought about how much more could the human race have advanced in all the fields you can think of if only there were no such things as patents, intellectual property and such bullshit that causes all innovation and creation to a screeching halt. But i think there must be a way to reward those that contribute and punish those that don't but are able to contribute(ie. not be lazy asses, but do some work that benefits their community whichever it may be).

  10. Re:iPad? Seriously? on Throwing Out Software That Works · · Score: 1

    How can't you understand? When a normal person takes a shit nobody cares, but when a celebrity does the same most of the people care. It's same with technology.

  11. Re:So, when... on Trojan-Infected Computer Linked To 2008 Spanair Crash · · Score: 1

    Come one we all know that Greeks made the trojan horse, and by that logic we should charge them with the responsibility of those unfourtunate people that died in that plane crash. Or even better, start a propaganda about how the maker of the trojan horse moved to somewhere in Middle East, for example Iran, and go there to ``do`` justice upon them.

  12. In 10 years... on Gamers Beat Algorithms At Finding Protein Structures · · Score: 2, Informative

    When humans have figured out how to connect their own brains in beowulf cluster, to harness the awesome power of the human mind, 30% of world population is going to be slave to corporations that need human brain power to do their bidding in order to do whatever that they do. But that's pretty much the same as it is now. But on the other side it really could be a nice job opportunity, go to work turn your brain on to some cluster be unconscious for 8 hours and go back home.

  13. Blue adapter :D on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Well i like playing some of the old games from my psx and i use the playstation joysticks with a very cheap adapter which has ports for two joysticks(with annoying red light that shines through a blue see through plastic. If you have pair of these laying around that would be a very good substitute for original ones. I know they have served me well for my emulator needs, and as each emulator has key configuration i gather that any kind of joystick with as much buttons possible is the best one(not the one you have to bend your fingers like a freak to use all of the buttons the joystick has).

  14. Re:Ethical line ? In movies ? on James Cameron On How Avatar Technology Could Keep Actors Young · · Score: 0, Redundant

    How many times have i told you that that wasn't real.

  15. Re:That's easy on Whatever Happened To Second Life? · · Score: 1

    Normally those people don't have real lives,the ones that manage to log in to the WoW and SL.

  16. Re:No antibiotics for me on Microbes That Keep Us Healthy Starting To Die Off · · Score: 1

    The man who has lost half of his teeth is 60 or something years old and in modern society rare are the people that don't lose teeth at all most of them get braces with new artificial teeth. Well the children that live will pass on the genes that helped them live and thus improve the generations to come. Their live span is also shortened by interaction with other animals and not only by lack of proper medical intervention.

  17. New war in Middle East on Report Claims Iran Has Data To Build a Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    seems inevitable right now and America must protect it's territory or they will be endangered by Iran in no time(or just a little bit of time).

  18. Re:containment theory... on Iran's Nuclear Ambitions · · Score: 1

    Just wait and you will see USA is going to another war,now it is against Iran. I kid you not.

  19. Re:Question: on Carl Sagan Sings · · Score: 1

    Maybe it should have been posted under Entertainment but who cares when the video & song are awesome.

  20. Re:Compete with who? on Apple Behind Intel's USB Competitor? · · Score: 1

    If Intel can make that new technology for Apple don't you think they can't make better than that? And that it should be new single standard for all devices hardly cause new standard that i see in the future and that will be one and only for everything MUST be open by all means.

  21. Re:We DO need another desktop OS. on Shuttleworth Suggests 1-Way Valve For User Experience Testing · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well you then continue to use ur XP and have 1 antivirus for 1/4 the internet and another antivirus for 2/4 of the internet and then use some spyware removal program to take care of 3/4 internet and you are safe and when you spit all that money for antiviruses there goes Vista and spit money there and then comes out Win7 then again same thing and around and around we go or you will just buy Win7 cause Vista was such an epic win for M$.

  22. Well on New Images Reveal Pure Water Ice On Mars · · Score: 1

    if we continue to find water like this in our solar system we may get to see traveling from moon to mars,Europa etc. I will make house on Mars.
