  1. Re:Standards on Steam For Linux: A Respectable Showing · · Score: 1

    You say all that, but it works just fine in Arch without any tinkering. There package's even available in the Community repo.

  2. Obligatory xkcd on Do Recreational Drugs Help Programmers? · · Score: 4, Funny
  3. Re:Ugh. on Verizon To Kill All Unlimited Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Buy an unlocked phone like this one and get a sim card from a company like Straight Talk for about $50 a month.

  4. Re:My long awaiting features on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 1

    #5 Ease change of the desktop environments

    I mean a complete change, not just like a theme. I really like to replace the whole Windows desktop with KDE.

    You should know better than that. Also, here.

  5. Photoshop Disasters on Biochemist Creates CO2-Eating Light That Runs On Algae · · Score: 1

    You have to love those awfully photoshopped pictures in the video!

  6. Re:As a business owner on Ask Slashdot: How Have You Handled Illegal Interview Topics? · · Score: 1

    I take it you've never worked with an obsessive Christian who's always asking you to pray with him. Or an extremist from either end of the political spectrum who sarcastically criticizes anyone who disagrees with him.

    Then wouldn't the reasonable thing to do be to fire the person in question for harassment?

  7. Re:Survival not so good for TFA website: on Submitting "Nuking the Fridge" To Scientific Peer Review · · Score: 1

    Yeah, seems like it nuked the fridge.

  8. That's...strange on US Air Force Buys iPads To Replace Flight Bags · · Score: 1

    The military decided on Android for phones but iOS on tablets? They should try being more consistent...

  9. Re:Evil Monopoly on Apple Wins Injunction Banning Import of HTC Devices · · Score: 4, Informative

    They made their own version that was incompatible with Sun's that was intended to eventually be built into Windows to effectively wrestle the control of Java away from them.

  10. Re:GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Aw on GNOME 3 Wins Linux Journal's Readers' Choice Award · · Score: 2

    You're describing Unity, not Gnome 3.

  11. Re:eBay on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can recover the password. You just have to boot it into ROM Monitor and change the config register so it'll bypass the startup-config. Then load the config and change the password.

  12. Wow on Oxford City Council Mandates CCTV Cameras In Taxies by 2015 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It never ceases to amaze me just how accurate George Orwell was about where England was going.

  13. Re:Obligatory XKCD on DARPA Wants To Get Rid of Password Protection · · Score: 2

    The main problem with that is that if it became normal practice, you could bet that password tools like John the Ripper and Medusa would add support for combining arbitrary dictionary words, thus making it not take that long to crack.

  14. Re:It's change for the sake of change on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    You forgot to tell us to get off your lawn.

  15. Re:Great on Is Verizon Breaking FCC Regulations With Locked Bootloaders? · · Score: 1

    Nah, they'd probably just pay the fines and go about business as usual. It's not like the FCC would do anything about it.

  16. Re:Wasn't that supposed to be Ruby? on Mojolicious 2.0: Modern Perl For the Web · · Score: 1
  17. This on LibreOffice Going Online and Mobile · · Score: 2

    This is exactly what they need. Otherwise, Google Docs and Office 365 might end up making LibreOffice irrelevent.

  18. What? on Rat Attack Causes Broadband Outage In Scotland · · Score: 1

    Isn't this what armored cable is made for?

  19. Wait for it on GameStop's Upcoming Android Tablet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They'll sell them "new" but use the box as a display and have the actual units stored behind the counter, and they'll have mysterious signs of use.

  20. Re:Ubuntu One: Secret Plans? on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1
