  1. Re: Autocorrect :) on How Machine Learning Ate Microsoft · · Score: 1

    "Ate" or "ad"?

  2. Re:Google more restrictive than Microsoft on Google Blocking Asus's Android-Windows "Duet"? · · Score: 1

    Chromebooks do allow you to install Linux http://www.chromebook-linux.co... just flip a switch.

  3. Re:Bad analogy on LLVM's Libc++ Now Has C++1Y Standard Library Support · · Score: 1

    Or maybe because it might as well be built in the USA http://www.hondainamerica.com/manufacturing

  4. Re:Trending political procedures... on NYC Is Tracking RFID Toll Collection Tags All Over the City · · Score: 1

    You still are tracked. Most bridges and toll booths have cameras.

  5. Chromebox / Chromebook on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Set Up a Parent's PC? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Chrome OS just screams out for usecases like this.

  6. Why is it so hard to prove than NP = P?

  7. Re:USB OTG on Ubuntu Now Available On the Nexus 7 · · Score: 2

    OTG is supported, just drive automountig is not enabled.

  8. Re:Does not make sense to me on Pixar Demos Newly Open-Sourced OpenSubdiv Graphics Tech · · Score: 2

    Did you read the MS-PL? The licence they are using to release it includes a patent grant, and a potential protection on patent suits.

  9. Yay? on ReactOS Presented To Russian President Putin · · Score: 0

    Seriously, a russian guy presenting a semi-obscure OS is news today, seems like a really slow news day for slashdot.

  10. the problem is on Google Applies For Dot-LOL Domain · · Score: 5, Funny

    cats.lol does not have the same ring to it sadly...

  11. As always this was already done before on SSID As the New Community Bulletin Board and Yard Sign · · Score: 2

    I am surprised to see that much ruckus about this "OpenSignalMaps" when Wigle http://wigle.net/ already existed for a while, and has more than 61 million networks recorded around the world. I do know they don't have the fancy Web2.0 website, but they have been doing this before that even got popular...

  12. Re:One of the best on Greg KH Leaves SUSE For Linux Foundation · · Score: 4, Informative

    Honestly Greg has been one of the best software engineering person to follow . He is responsible for so many subsystems. the way he accepts suggestions , gives advice is great. I wish him all the best for Linux Foundation. That, and he's a really cool guy overall, he even carried beers and pizza for us after openSUSE conference (he's a really big guy, like 2 meters tall). I'm sad to see him leave SUSE, but I hope he can keep on doing the great job he does.

  13. Re:Actually on OpenSUSE 12.1 Released · · Score: 1

    It's actually pretty good, SUSE even hires several of the devs for Samba. It is also easy to configure, thanks to the YaST modules dedicated to Samba.

  14. Sucks on HP's Shift On PCs Could Boost Acer, Dell and Lenovo · · Score: 1

    That is really sad, I was eager to get a ProBook. Business grade hardware from HP was almost always really good, I'm sad to see it go.

  15. Because it's Silverlight... on Microsoft Celebrates Feynman 50-year Anniversary · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's a shame no one will get to see it...

  16. Re:It's funny - laugh on AMD Offers Women Geek Dating Advice · · Score: 1

    you can say that because Ada Lovelace did got her geek

  17. x86 vs ARM? on AMD Offers Women Geek Dating Advice · · Score: 1

    Pfft. she'd have to at least talk about a worthy RISC architecture, Power PC or SPARC, too bad those ones don't have a chance

  18. Re:What about the rest of the family? on Microsoft Holds iPhone Funeral Event · · Score: 1

    you mean like OGG, or maybe FLAC, what about AIFF?, I'd say it's about the same on format-compatibility, also have you checked the battery life on the new iPods, it's staggering. A tip for you, try not to reencode your media, you'll lose quality and gain almost nothing in return. The Zune is neither freer nor substancially better than the iPod, and that's why it got lost on the sea of "MP3 Players" instead of being "the new iPod"

  19. Re:Winamp. on Flawed iTunes Stands Out Among Apple's Products · · Score: 1
  20. Re:Supporting citizens vs supporting a platform on No iPhone Apps, Please — We're British · · Score: 1

    Yes It's called JavaME, and almost all smartphones, (Symbian, Android, BlackBerry, MeeGo, and more) are capable of running, except the iPhone.

  21. Re:undocumented commands I've seen: on XKCD Deploys Command Line Interface · · Score: 1

    WOW, that was awesome, i tried it on my terminal, and BLAM! :D

  22. Re:What a great idea! on Bloggers Now Eligible For Press Passes In NYC · · Score: 1

    That is like saying that because so many politicians have made speeches, 'I have a Dream' and 'The Gettysburg Address' are ruined by that. All Persons have Free Speech, their quality has nothing to do with the crap others say. This is simply an extension of it.

  23. Re:Why the obsession with javascript? on Opera 10.50 Beta Out, With Competitive JavaScript · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's quite common to only check the JS numbers, so many benchmarks to choose from. I remember an old webpage that tested both JS, HTML and CSS performance; Opera kicked ass in all except JS (this were pre-Chrome, Firefox 3.5 times)... So Opera has classically had quite good performance on HTML rendering on really large webpages, or crooked HTML, nested tables or stuff like that.
