  1. Wow... on Microsoft's Mission To Reignite the PC Sector (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Tough crowd in here. If MS survival came down to Slashdot population it would be out of business in 30 seconds.

  2. Re:That's one way to do it on Microsoft's Mission To Reignite the PC Sector (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    How come Mac sales keep increasing quarter after quarter if software is running just "fine" on older hardware? People want to be delighted and Microsoft has awoken to that with Surface Pro 4 & Surface Book.

  3. Let's face it. Chunky fingers fail on these device on Droid Touchscreen Less Accurate Than iPhone's · · Score: 1

    These virtual keyboards are for thin-fingered meth addicts.

  4. Re:No keyboard on Ads To Offset Cost of Unlocked Google Phone? · · Score: 1

    How do big-fingered people use the virtual keyboard genius? What is the iPhone only for ultra-petite women?

  5. Guys... Google Phone will not have advertising on Ads To Offset Cost of Unlocked Google Phone? · · Score: 1

    Just because selling the phones will be a new profit engine all by itself, they won't want to outrage users by bombarding them with Google Ads. Stop the nonsense.

  6. Re:oh look its slashdot on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    Hey I'm a Microsoftie, but I've been using Chrome for months now and it's the best from a performance standpoint and the UI is nothing but clean. Sure it doesn't have a plug-in architecture that I'm aware of, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. You can host Silverlight apps if you want a rich UI experience.

  7. Re:Chrome - Feels Like A Running A New Computer on 2.0 Beta Chrome On Windows, Chromium On Linux · · Score: 1

    No kidding. I was tired of Firefox bloat and I haven't looked back! I only use Firefox for Netflix instant viewing since they haven't implemented Silverlight to work inside Chrome. Which is really strange because I've gotten my own Silverlight apps working inside Chrome no problem.

  8. Keep whistling past the graveyard... on Linux Gaining Strength In Downturn · · Score: 1

    Steve Ballmer is sweating bullets right now.

  9. Re:I read it a different way on Brain Decline Begins At Age 27 · · Score: 1

    Yeah. I learn much better now at 32 then I did 15 years ago. Even though my information processing speed might be less, other factors increase overall retention.

  10. Why bother with Apple? Samsung P2 meets all needs. on Update — No DRM In New iPod Shuffle · · Score: 1

    The P2 supports MP3, WMA, MP2, OGG (only supported in the UMS version), and AAC (M4A and AAC) audio formats. The text viewer only supports plain TXT files. The photo viewer supports only JPEG photos. WMV and SVI videos are supported at resolutions of 480x272 and 320x240 at up to 30 frame/s. In addition it has a touch screen and weighs less then an iPod. It comes with up to 16GB storage.

  11. The fundamentals of being a good engineer on Are Quirky Developers Brilliant Or Dangerous? · · Score: 3, Informative

    1. knowing the theories and technologies 2. being able to communicate your ideas effectively to your team If you fail at either of these you don't belong in any company. Josh fails at #2.

  12. Say it aint so... on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Apple fan-bois routinely tell me that Apple is on the "bleeding edge" of innovation at all times and no one else is compared to them. I guess it's mostly marketing hype. I mean heck, when I was shopping for an MP3 player I looked at the iPod Nano and saw what they were charging for accessories like battery chargers and slipcases. Apple has always marked up their products like 500%.

  13. Re:The best things in life... on Linux Gaining Strength In Downturn · · Score: 1

    Well geez that's new. I'm usually accused of being a neoconservative. Now I get to be all kinds.

  14. Re:The best things in life... on Linux Gaining Strength In Downturn · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of ipconfig? You can do all Windows administration in the CLI if you have the skills to do so. There is no excuse.

    Implying that if only we gave more money to the universities, that would put otherwise criminal elements into the hi-tech sector. Might as well believe in the invisible pink unicorn.

    * msconfig * Registry cleaner * Service control manager These are all ways to get your Vista machine lean & mean.

    1000s of busy bee lawyers are buzzing about their offices scheming as we speak...

  18. Re:Target a standard on Site Compatibility and IE8 · · Score: 1

    Or how about Silverlight to any HTTP server? :-)

  19. You get serious on Microsoft-Novell Relationship Hits the Skids · · Score: 1, Troll

    That's quite a violent approach to the problem. Invalidate all software patents? I don't think Apple would approve, as that would be the end of their business. But you really meant invalidate all of MSFT's right?

  20. Re:When it comes to jury duty.. on Suspect Freed After Exposing Cop's Facebook Status · · Score: 2

    This is just more proof that we are handing our society over to the criminals!

  21. Advertising folks. on Living Free With Linux, Round 2 · · Score: 1

    Remember Microsoft spent alot of moolah in 1995 to create mindshare and continued spending. Who besides computer geeks know the word "Linux"? Linux literally has no mindshare in the general public. Until some company is ready to step up to the plate, no year will be the year of the Linux desktop.

  22. *Nix + ARM = Death of Wintel platform on How Vista Mistakes Changed Windows 7 Development · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    MSFT and Intel are REALLY scared right now.

  23. Re:Feynman on Outliers, The Story Of Success · · Score: 1

    Feynman was just being modest. Of course natural intelligence will be the limiting factor on comprehension of material.

    They're a monopoly, and are gouging the consumer. If anywhere we need the DOJ antitrust working overtime it's against the RIAA.
