  1. wat on Google Pulls PSX4Droid For Sony's Xperia Play · · Score: 1

    I thought the patents on the PS1 expired...& what of just about every other *4droid emulator?

  2. Wait wait hold up on RSA Says SecurID Hack Based On Phishing With Flash 0-Day · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You can embed flash in excel files!? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT

  3. Wat on WP7 Predicted To Beat iPhone By 2015 · · Score: 0

    Am I the only one that noticed that they're both 2nd-rate next to the 45% android prediction?

  4. Derp on ISP's War On BitTorrent Hits World of Warcraft · · Score: 0

    Who would have expected BitTorrent to be used for lawful data dissemination? What next, entire films being produced exclusively for the protocol!?

  5. Rootability on Samsung's Happy Galaxy Tab Users Are Actors · · Score: 0

    If getting cyanogenmod or something on one of these tabs is as painful as it is on my stepfather's Galaxy S "series"* phone, they'd have to pay me to use it as well! *I don't see why they put these in a series, I mean it'd be acceptable if it was just radio hardware being swapped out or something but half the phones are missing half the hardware!

  6. WTF on 100% Libre, Trisquel 4.5 STS 'Slaine' Released · · Score: 0

    100% Libre. OO.org 3.2. MFW :|

  7. I live in Sacramento on Fukushima Radioactive Fallout Nears Chernobyl Levels · · Score: -1

    Maybe I'm racist for saying this, but I've always assumed air smelled of ramen, sea stank, maybe a little less uranium isotopes, & seafood (fried squid, etc)...

  8. Wait on Google Delays General Release of Honeycomb Source · · Score: 0

    Wouldn't it also be installed on the tens of existing 2.2 tablets that already have a really bad user experience? (especially the non-cap-touch ones eww)

  9. Yo dawg on Microsoft Buys 666,000 IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    Wanna score some v4? I got some premo shit right here!

  10. IT's tough on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 0

    I'd start at the very beginning, but while it definitely has it's good serials (The Mutants, etc), they're mostly...EXTERMINATED. What I'd do is watch the very first 2 serials, then go ahead & jump to the 2005 reboot. Many people would want to stop & watch the Tom Baker serials, but that's entirely up to you. (the theme song gets kinda awesome there)

  11. Halp on Air Force Supercomputer Made From PS3's · · Score: 4, Funny

    I accidentally other os. Is this dangerous?

  12. Re:Can't blame them on Oracle Claims Intel Is Looking To Sink the Itanic · · Score: 0

    Yeah but think about it, most enterprise users will likely be using FOSS or some variant, & try getting Gentoo installed without GCC :P

  13. Can't blame them on Oracle Claims Intel Is Looking To Sink the Itanic · · Score: 0

    It was botched from the start w/ no x86-32 backwards compatibility, & to make matters worse this weird AMD company takes the existing X86-32 architecture & just extends the buses & registers 2x creating a more successful architecture. On top of that Intel only sold Itaniums to enterprise, screeching compiler development for it to a hault.

  14. Funny on Google Engineer Releases Open Source Bitcoin Client · · Score: 1

    With bit-mining screeching to a hault I wonder if *anyone* can be charged with minting a coin or three over the course of a few months...

  15. We really need to start relabeling. on Postal Sensor Fleet Idea Gets Tentative Nod From the USPS · · Score: 1

    We have firemen here that very rarely do things that involve fire, & now we're apparently gonna have the USPS's fleet of Grumman LLV's that do work for the NIST & FCC. Maybe if we labeled these organizations properly we could be more efficient with the budget. (& this is coming from a liberal, not a conservative/libertarian)

  16. Woz did it first on 'Pruned' Microchips Twice As Fast and Efficient · · Score: 0

    All good engineers do it, really...

  17. While APU's definitely have their place... on Graphics-Enabled CPUs To Take Off In 2011 · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    They also said 2011 would be the year of Linux on the desktop!

  18. Re:Have they heard about bandages? on Canadian Researchers Develop Permanent Anti-Fog Coating · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's not like I said to remove it from it's original packaging, grind into a fine paste, & apply topically to your cornea...

  19. Re:Have they heard about bandages? on Canadian Researchers Develop Permanent Anti-Fog Coating · · Score: 1

    I wonder if silicone beads work the same in goggles

  20. There I fixed it on NASA Satellite Snaps Rare Cloud-Free Ireland · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It was hard to look at, so I ran it through The GIMP's auto-white-balance filter. Was this really that hard for NASA's PR guys to do? http://i88.photobucket.com/albums/k196/atari2600a/Ireland_amo_2010284.jpg

  21. Still valid, if you know what you're doing on Is the Business Card Dead? · · Score: 0

    I'm starting up a computer servicing business here in California (no, not Silicon Valley), & I find business cards are convenient as a means of advertising, as well as an easy &/or classy way to give your number (or email or twitter or whatever) to all the nerd girls out there (all three of them!)

  22. Great breakthrough, but battery life? on Advance In PCM Memory Could Dramatically Reduce Power Consumption · · Score: 0

    Even w/ AMOLED's 90% of the battery life is eaten up by the screen, w/ the radios a close second (or the inverse of the above)

  23. Re:Blast from the past! on Laser Scribing Promises More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 0

    Are you saying we got techrolled? Like that kid who invented photovoltaic hair?

  24. Does Moore's Law apply to photovoltaics? on Laser Scribing Promises More Efficient Solar Cells · · Score: 0

    It seems every other month someone comes up with a new technique to cut solar panel costs in half or double efficiency, & while they are getting cheaper, faster, more mainstream it's as though a clusterfuck of patents restricts the application to a single factory. I recall years back I was watching NOVA or Frontline or something where they where interviewing that photovoltaic paint company & they where saying they had a giant back-order & I just kept thinking...why not license the technology? You'll still come out ahead!

  25. Re:Holy shit on Nuclear Emergency Declared At 2 Plants In Japan · · Score: 0

    Good to know, I guess...
