  1. Re:Fuck the FCC on FTC To Trap Robocallers With Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Maybe they just hate Anonymous Cowards?

  2. Re:Uses: on Coming Soon(ish) From LG: Transparent, Rollup Display · · Score: 2

    I'm thinking the display could roll up inside of an ink pen like a spring loaded window roller shade. Some enterprising genius could also implement sensors to reproduce script written on paper by the pen to the screen. I'm dreaming of a lot of possibilities.

  3. Re:Of course not on Apple Refutes Report On iPhone Threat To China's National Security · · Score: 4, Interesting
    "We have also never allowed access to our servers,"

    Apple lies.

  4. Re:Probable cause on Meet the Muslim-American Leaders the FBI and NSA Have Been Spying On · · Score: 1

    The Feds kidnapped a "suspected" Russian hacker (Roman Valerevich Seleznev) in the Maldives the other day and flew him to Guam. I wouldn't feel too safe.

  6. Re:Problem with proprietary 'free' offerings on Microsoft Kills Off MapPoint and Streets and Trips In Favor of Bing Maps · · Score: 1

    I have a version of Streets and Trips from 2006. It won't install on Win 7 64 bit. The 2011 version works.

  7. Re:Can I play Descent on it? on FreeDOS Is 20 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I have not been able to install FreeDOS in VMWare Player. Google has hits for instruction with regular VMWare. So far, I haven't found a ready made appliance.

  8. Re:But, will they learn from their mistake? on Windows 9 To Win Over Windows 7 Users, Disables Start Screen For Desktop · · Score: 1

    I remember free beta releases of Windows 95 and the "Rock Star" roll out parties at computer stores like CompUSA. It was a huge geek-fest. Thirty two bit, baby!

  9. Re:why? on US National Archives Will Upload All Its Holdings To Wikipedia · · Score: 2

    The NSA already snagged all the available server storage?

  10. Re:Does it work on movies? on CMU System Lets You Get To the Good Parts of Video, Fast · · Score: 1

    It seems attention spans get shorter all of the time.

  11. Re:not the first on First Phone Out of Microsoft-Nokia -- and It's an Android · · Score: 1

    Not exactly Linux, but Microsoft has Xenix in the late 1970s.

  12. Re:OS Lock In on Dell Exec Calls HP's New 'Machine' Architecture 'Laughable' · · Score: 2

    This might be the year of ReactOS on the desktop.

  14. Drunk drivers on A Bike Taillight that Goes Beyond Mere Taillighting (Video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They are attracted to flashing lights and will home in on this like a June bug to a porch light. Having said that, it looked very well done.

  15. Re:What a punishment on Former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer Buys the LA Clippers For $2 Billion · · Score: 5, Funny

    Most hated man in America buys team from the second most hated man.

    We can just imagine them into existence. And then some unicorns.

    What happened to all of the really good fart apps?

  18. Oh no! on Become a Linux Kernel Hacker and Write Your Own Module · · Score: 5, Funny

    Just to have Linus publicly cuss me out? No thanks!

  19. Re:Windows Server 2003? on Registry Hack Enables Continued Updates For Windows XP · · Score: 2
    I installed Windows Server 2003 to VMWare Player just yesterday. The activation server won't work anymore, so I had to make the dreaded call. The Pakistani sounding guy named "Phillip" was helpful but it would have been easier with Internet activation. He was very curious as to WHY I wanted to install Windows Server 2003.

    Windows Update wouldn't work until I downloaded SP2 and installed it. Then I was able to "enjoy" several hours of downloading and installing updates via Windows Update

    What I wonder about is, when I accepted an update and rebooted there were several patches to the updates. Why doesn't MS build the patches into the update?

  20. Re:Who knows on Haiku Gains Support For Current Radeon HD Cards · · Score: 1

    I saw a demo at the Dallas Infomart back in the day. Like you said, it was able to display several videos without any choppiness. No other OS I had seen could come close. I suspect that Haiku can't come close either.

  21. Re:Yes! on FCC Gets Go-Ahead For Plan To Expand Rural Internet Access · · Score: 1

    I wonder how many on /. have ever used an outhouse or pulled water from a well in a bucket. Any stories (said the thread-jacker)?

  22. Re:Raise the Price on Fiat Chrysler CEO: Please Don't Buy Our Electric Car · · Score: 4, Insightful
    You forget the government incentives.

    Damned government hand is in my pocket - again!

  24. Re:Always videos :( on Linux Sucks (Video) · · Score: 1

    I tried "Google2SRT.java" on this and had the transcript in .srt format in about 3 seconds. I tried some of the online convertors but didn't find one that worked on this video.
