  1. Re:Maybe if it was a US initiative. on Google Gives 15,000 Raspberry Pis To UK Schools · · Score: 1

    Because it makes a small Linux machine extremely affordable for those who otherwise might not have access to it, you dumb shit.

  2. Re:But...Unity. on Canonical Could Switch To Rolling Releases For Ubuntu 14.04 and Beyond · · Score: 1

    Yes....curse people and their opinions!

  3. Re:The web we lost on How the Internet Became a Closed Shop · · Score: 1

    Wordpress.

  4. Re:Dare to dream! on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

  5. Re:This better be a joke. on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    I would pay to see that. "Steam-Boat Star Destroyer"? Sign me up!

  6. Re:April fools? on Disney to Acquire Lucasfilm, Star Wars Episode 7 Due In 2015 · · Score: 1

    Honestly, I think all the geek scorn after the prequels came out broke him. He's not a young man and between Star Wars and Indiana Jones, I honestly think he believed his own hype as a genius film-maker. So in an act of total hubris, he decided to puke out the prequels. And they were awful. And he knows it but doesn't know *why*.

  7. Re:Well, Yeah on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yeah? How many iOS apps can I develop on my Windows 7 box?

  8. Re:Well, Yeah on Windows Phone 8 Having Trouble Attracting Developers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Silverlight...XNA...

  9. Re:dual story requires dual comment on Sandy Sinks HMS Bounty, Knocks Off Gawker Websites · · Score: 1

    That's nothing. The storm in NYC is headline news....in England. I mean, *seriously*?

  10. Re:Steam != Game on Valve: Linux Better Than Windows 8 for Gaming · · Score: 1

    You're missing the point. As well as Steam and because I suspect it's intertwined with it, the Source engine will be coming to Linux. This is a pretty big deal, even if the engine is getting a bit long in the tooth these days. Left 4 Dead 2 already runs rather well under it.

  11. Of course. on 72% of Xbox 360 Gamers Approve of "More Military Drone Strikes" · · Score: 1

    Of course 72% of gamers approved of more drone strikes. If they have any brains, this is the closest thing to backing something that will give them a job playing videogames one day. I don't know why there isn't a Kickstarter for it, to be honest.

  12. Re:8 is NOT a replacement to 7 on Replacing Windows 8's Missing Start Menu · · Score: 1

    Old software never dies any more, it just ends up on torrent sites. No problem.

  13. Re:Could have sworn... on Torque3D Engine Goes Open-Source · · Score: 1

    You know that Unity supports both iOS and Android, right?

  14. Uh-huh. on MSFT Reaches Out To Hackers: 'Do Epic $#!+' · · Score: 1

    Yeah. This will fail as long as the postfix is always "...as long as it doesn't threaten Windows or Office, natch." They *had* something epic with the Courier...and they killed it. I don't see this state of affairs changing anytime soon.

  15. Re:TERRIBLE! on Windows 8 Is Ready · · Score: 2

    True actually. I skipped it no problem. It was only later I linked my login to my hotmail account. Please bitch about stuff that is an actual problem, not just your ineptitude.

  16. Re:Infrastructure? on Should Developers Support Windows Phone 8? · · Score: 1

    ...except that complaint only makes sense in your country (which I assume to be the US). I can count the number of times I've got no coverage in Europe on the fingers of one hand. 3G here is plenty fast enough for everything except massive game downloads.

  17. Re:Addresses one issue but not the other on Google Trying New Strategy to Fix Fragmentation · · Score: 2

    Exactly - GP is pure rubbish. I flashed my Nexus S single core phone with ICS and it ran a damned sight faster than Gingerbread (for which the Nexus S was the reference device for).

  18. Re:Irony on The Leap Second Is Here! Are Your Systems Ready? · · Score: 1

    I'll bite. The registry *does* get crufty. All sorts of keys from software that you've previously uninstalled. You've clearly not used RegEdit very much searching for software matches that you *know* are no longer there. And Windows (7, SBS, etc) *does* reboot itself automatically when it decides you must. Nobody cares about your respect or lack of it, but simply ignoring the facts that many sysadmins deal with when working with Windows is just stupid.

  19. How would they do this? on The Pirate Bay On Track To Be Banned In the UK? · · Score: 1

    Would the ISPs block it by simply removing that entry from their DNS servers? If so, won't it be trivial to reconfigure your router to get it's name servers from OpenDNS or Google? How else would it be blocked?

  20. Re:Instant Gratification on A Rant Against Splash Screens · · Score: 1

    I'm fairly sure the first versions of Netscape Navigator (three, perhaps?) had a splash screen back in the late nineties on good old Windows 3.11.

  21. Re:ie6 on Google Chrome: the New Web Platform? · · Score: 1

    Java adds itself to Task Scheduler as well. How is that any different to Linux's Package Kit? In other words, so what? In fact, I'd go so far as to say that Windows is crying out for some sort of auto-update mechanism for it's apps.

  22. Re:Blegh on Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce? · · Score: 1

    Who bought and set up the media server? Because that's theirs. As for the photos - copies, duh.

  23. Re:A prize nomination? on Robert Boisjoly Dies At 73, the Engineer Who Tried To Stop the Challenger Launch · · Score: 0

    If you want to be taken seriously, including a link to a Daily Mail "article" is not the way to exude credibility. Often, the DM just makes stuff up. Fact.

  24. Re:Really? on Angry Birds Boss Credits Piracy For Popularity Boost · · Score: 0

    No, I pirated Game of Thrones because there's no such thing as HBO in my country and Game of Thrones isn't available anywhere else. Not everywhere is the USA, you twerp.

  25. Re:So... on Russian Scientist Claims Signs of Life Spotted On Venus · · Score: 0

    Rocks. It's always rocks.
