  1. "Finally" on Google Search Finally Adds Information About Video Games · · Score: 1

    Finally, I've been waiting for this for so long (NOT)

  2. Re:Murica Fuck yea! on U.S. Teenagers Are Driving Much Less: 4 Theories About Why · · Score: 1

    Actually, Norway and Italy have you beat for both gasoline and diesel. But yeah, it's still one of the highest in Europe.

  3. Re:The distinction is minor on Google Nexus Gets Wireless Charger · · Score: 1

    Difficult, but it can definitely be done (even if only on the flagship model right now): http://blogs.sonymobile.com/press_release/new-xperia-z-1-worlds-best-camera-in-a-waterproof-smartphone/

  4. Re:Which is the best 3d printer? on 83-Year-Old Inventor Wins $40,000 3D Printing Competition · · Score: 2

    Make magazine seems to have made a comparative review of the hobby market 3D printers recently. It is available here. I don't know if it's any good, but I am considering buying it because I am also looking for a 3D printer.

  5. Network simulator on Ask Slashdot: Software For Learning About Data Transmission? · · Score: 2

    You could try playing with a visual network simulator, which should make things easier to understand (and experiment with). This page seems have a nice overview and some screenshots to get you started. Have fun!

  6. Re:Look at who they appoint to the SCOTUS. on Barack Obama Retains US Presidency · · Score: 1

    Also, more importantly... no chewing gum.

  7. Re:I just hope they don't get discouraged on Ubuntu Asks Users To Pay What They Want · · Score: 1

    ...but we tend to install, reinstall, set up virtual machines, install yet again, and so on across dozens of machines.

    And download the ISO every time?

  8. Re:Someone forgot to tell these guys on Half-Life of DNA is 521 Years, Jurassic Park Impossible After All · · Score: 5, Funny

    521 years should be enough for anybody.

  9. Re:Keep 'em coming on Santorum Suspends Presidential Campaign · · Score: 1

    I'm still laughing over the title.

  10. Re:What We Really Need on Kubuntu To Be Sponsored By Blue Systems, Rather Than Canonical · · Score: 5, Informative

    1) Install Ubuntu 12.04 (beta, for now)
    2) Open terminal
    3) sudo apt-get install gnome-panel
    4) Log out and back in, selecting GNOME Classic as Desktop Environment
    5) ???
    6) Profit!!! Actually, there is no step 5. :)

  11. Re:Short Flights on Annual Airline Achievement Report Released · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't it be the other way around? I imagine it's much easier to compensate for a 15 minute departure delay on a long flight, than it is on a short one.

  12. Version numbers on Chrome Users Are Best With Numbers, IE Users Worst · · Score: 1

    Firefox: 10
    IE: 9
    Chrome: 17.0.963.56

    I can see where Chrome users get their practice with numbers.

  13. Re:Acronis on Ask Slashdot: Free/Open Deduplication Software? · · Score: 1

    Try rsnapshot. Based on rsync, but does incremental backups and allows you to restore any one of them. Still doesn't fix the de-dup issue though, but neither does rsync.

  14. Re:There are 10 kind of people on New Study Concludes Math Gender Gap Is Cultural, Not Biological · · Score: 1

    Unless he was using modulo 3... then he would be right. The typo would still be there though. :)

  15. Re:RTFA - really, it's interesting! on Are You Better At Math Than a 4th (or 10th) Grader? · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty shocked by the results.. I guess I've either been shielded by academia for too long or have very distorted expectations of people. I mean.. (47 x 75) ÷ 25 = .. really?

  16. Re:yes, but... on Library of Congress To Receive Entire Twitter Archive · · Score: 2

    Can you please tell me how many Libraries of Congress that is?

  17. Re:Non-native resolution can be blurry on Dell's Misleading Graphics Card Buying Advice · · Score: 1

    They're both outputting at the same resolution.

    That shouldn't be a factor in this particular case.

  18. Re:I almost started to cry... on Viacom's SOPA/PIPA Pitch Video, Annotated · · Score: 1

    Seems to work fine in Italy.

  19. Re:About time! on Toyota To Let People Ride In Self-Driving Prius · · Score: 1

    A self-driving car is the answer to these cities.

    That, or a better public transportation system.

  20. Re:I wonder on Drug-Resistant Superbugs Sweeping Across Europe · · Score: 1

    Sorry to nitpick the nitpicking, but tetracycline is an antibiotic as well, so it doesn't affect viruses either.

  21. Re:But I must give free reign to my inner narcissi on Facebook Holding Back Personal Data · · Score: 1

    I suppose most of you reading this think it's a good thing that government intervenes to regulate Facebook. If this were food safety or building construction or some other thing that is a matter of life-and-death, ...

    Except that the European law applies to all companies handling any kind of personal information. If it weren't for the law, you would have even less control of the personal information stored about you.

    And while you don't list privacy among the list of most important things to you, some people would. Quality of life is pretty important too.

  22. Re:Honestly? on What's Keeping You On Windows? · · Score: 1

    SecureCRT also seems to have a Linux version.

  23. SI on Walmart Goes Solar In California · · Score: 1

    70 million kWh

    Or they could just use the SI and say 70 GWh, instead of 70 thousand thousand thousand Wh.

  24. Odometer? on Dutch Government To Tax Drivers Based On Car Use · · Score: 1

    How about reading the odometer when you do the Vehicle Roadworthiness Test every 2 years or every year? Not completely tamperproof of course, but then I hear turning back the odometer on newer models is a bit trickier. As for cheating, it might be offset by not having to install a GPS device in every car.

  25. Re:Could be worse . . . on Review: Rise of the Planet of the Apes · · Score: 1

    It already has... unfortunately.
