  1. Re:60 or bust on Why The Hobbit's 48fps Is a Good Thing · · Score: 1

    Good way to sell their new 240hz TVs since thats the lowest refresh rate you can buy that is divisible by 48.

  2. They're used to paying $60 for no replay value on Blizzard Has a Version of Diablo 3 Running On Consoles · · Score: 1

    Should work well in a market where $60 for a game that's only fun for maybe 20 hours is the accepted norm.

  3. Immigrants... right on US Birthrate Plummets To Record Low · · Score: -1, Troll

    They are relying in (illegal I assume) immigrants to fund social security and other programs? yeah that will go well considering illegal immigrants often pay no taxes... and if we suddenly let them they would on average get more back than they pay in lol.

  4. Re:offensive question on Ask Slashdot: How Should Tech Conferences Embrace Diversity? · · Score: 2

    As a white male you aren't not allowed to be offended. Hence someone has down-voted you. I hope you will take this to heart, strive for diversity, and remember everyone deserves equal treatment, except for "your people".

  5. As a Louisiana Resident. on Secession Petitions Flood White House Website · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Texas could maybe pull it off, Louisiana no... The only industry we have here is the Prison industry and the gov here is corrupt top to bottom. Those that aren't in prison are on food stamps. Its an all around crappy state... Every day I wake up I ask my self WTF am I doing here? "Louisiana's incarceration rate is nearly five times Iran's, 13 times China's and 20 times Germany's.... A majority of Louisiana inmates are housed in for-profit facilities, which must be supplied with a constant influx of human beings"

  6. An article about a GUI with no pictures on KDE Plasma Active: the Mobile Interface That Works · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What is this? radio? just show us some pictures of it and let us come to our own conclusions instead of telling us what we should think lol.

  7. Re:Damn it, Torvolds! on Linus Torvalds Advocates For 2560x1600 Standard Laptop Displays · · Score: 1, Insightful

    if I hadn't already replied in this thread I would mod this up.

  8. Re:Problem on Linus Torvalds Advocates For 2560x1600 Standard Laptop Displays · · Score: 1

    If you think they would run many games at their current crap resolution now you are sorely mistaken. That aside, they might have to do what we did in the old days... reduce the game's resolution until its playable! When you start off with a decent resolution, downscaling doesn't look so bad.

  9. Re:My phone != my computer on 48-Core Chips Could Redefine Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    As an owner of a phone with 2GB of RAM, I think the RAM thing is covered.

  10. So when you lose your personal computer? on 48-Core Chips Could Redefine Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Being able to carry your entire computer in your pocket and use it all day long is great, until you lose it lol. Unless of course this whole cloud thing actually catches on and carriers stop raping consumers on data prices.

  11. Re:How about calling it a motorcycle? on $3,000 Tata Nano Car Coming To US · · Score: 1

    Motorcycles in most states are limited to three wheels at most. Once you've got 4, its treated like a car.

  12. Re:How dare you! on Following Huawei Report, US Rejects UN Telecom Proposals · · Score: 1

    In China when someone smiles and asks for your honest opinion on anything government related, you smile and agree. Its trained in to them in a country where anyone who sticks out gets nailed.

  13. Feels more like hype to me... on The Explosive Growth of 3D Printing · · Score: 1

    Seems like rather than actually growing explosively, its being pushed very hard on /. I rarely hear a peep about it elsewhere.

  14. Re:How is American Beer like sex in a canoe? on Beer Is Cheaper In the US Than Anywhere Else In the World · · Score: 1

    Good point lol. Sam Adams and Blue Moon are my favorites but they make my tab run 50% higher than if I stick with the big name cheap stuff.

  15. Great bang for the buck on Barnes & Noble's Nook HD Tablets Face iPad, Kindle Fire HD · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From the tech specs and price, it seems like a solid tablet for $200. Would be the one I would reccomend. The chip is fast enough that everything should be fluid unless they did a crap job putting together their android distro. 1gb of ram is enough. Screen is big enough. Seems like a good deal. Just like their previous products which were also very underrated IMO. Most likely it will go mostly unnoticed just like their previous products did too lol.

  16. Re:How is American Beer like sex in a canoe? on Beer Is Cheaper In the US Than Anywhere Else In the World · · Score: 1

    Try some Sam Adams?

  17. Re:Performance rarely scales linearly with price on Are SSDs Finally Worth the Money? · · Score: 1

    Depends on which GB drives you are comparing. Mechanical drives have a higher minimum price because of the mechanical components required no matter the size. Meanwhile smaller SSD drives can be rather cheap. For example, a 120GB SSD = $75 - $90 while a high performance 150gb mechanical drive like the raptor X is $100+

  18. Performance rarely scales linearly with price on Are SSDs Finally Worth the Money? · · Score: 1

    This goes for just about everything unless you are talking about generational technology gaps. Honestly, double the performance for 3x the price is pretty much a bargain, comparatively speaking.

  19. Gee, that really increases the difficulty on Cameras To Watch Cameras In Maryland · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If anyone sees you destroying the thing you're going to get in trouble anyway, so we are assuming the people are doing it when no one is around. In which case, wear a mask, park where the thing cant see your car, and walk right on up to it lol.

  20. Re:Oh come on! on California's Unspoken Health Problem: Brain Parasites · · Score: 1

    Clearly a pandemic

  21. Re:This is why we cook our meats on California's Unspoken Health Problem: Brain Parasites · · Score: 1

    Yes, if you eat their feces

  22. High cost of living is attractive? on High Tech Companies Becoming Fools For the City · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've always wondered about that lol. Why are the tech companies almost always attracted to areas with exceptionally high cost of living? Must be something I'm missing.

  23. All fun and games until it burns yours house down on Motorola Releases an Official Bootloader Unlocker · · Score: 1

    They of course have to cover all their legal bases. Some dolt could theoretically get their battery to catch fire and burn their house down.

  24. Just show us the real pictures on Curiosity's Latest High-Res Photo Looks Like Earth · · Score: -1, Troll

    Why do they keep showing us these altered photos. We paid billions in tax dollars because we want to see the damn planet, not a photohopped image.

  25. Half of 4 is 2? on 'Pirate' Website Owner Sentenced To 4 Years In Prison · · Score: 0

    I guess he will be paroled in half that time, or 8 years.
