  1. Re:Bluetooth 4.0 is designed for this sort of thin on Ask Slashdot: Wireless Proximity Detection? · · Score: 1

    wait what? beaming proximity data over bluetooth does not mean that bluetooth can naturally act as a proximity detector

  2. Re:I have to say on UCLA Professor Says Conventional Wisdom on Study Habits Is All Washed Up · · Score: 2

    ding ding ding we have a winner! record your classes, its not like all but the absolute cheapest of cellphones dont record voice and or video, even then we have these things called micro cassettes that seem to have worked for the last 30 or so years for millions of students

    I always found taking notes during very distracting, hm how the hell do you spell that? oh shit what did he say dammit now I am missing 2 parts!

  3. Simple really on Defending Your Cellphone Against Malware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't download every dumb shit dancing santa talking cat bullshit app your mom's co-workers recommend

    option B is to not use a smartphone and get over your facebook/twitter addiction

  4. Re:But does it change anything? on Thousands Take To the Streets To Protest ACTA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    see thats the problem right there, they dont know, but will happily vote for it cause bubba next to them supports it and maybe they got a little money to pad their wallets as well

    its pathetic that people have to call them to inform them how to do their effin jobs

    N/T

  6. So what? Dope em up on Study Finds Growing Up WIth Gadgets Has a Downside: Social Skill Impairment · · Score: 1

    LIttle Judy cant focus cause she is bombarded with blinky shit fighting for attention on every square inch of her life? dope-em! thats why its there, no need to be a parent and turn the shit off once in a damn while, let you 6 year old have 24/7 access to a smartphone, video games, tv and the internet ... how ever else will she learn how to use these things? I mean geez parents it took you like forever to push a button and click a mouse right?

  7. I am not worried about it on Don't Worry About Global Warming, Say 16 Scientists in the WSJ · · Score: 5, Funny

    its rather nice having 62 degree days in the last weeks of January when it should be -3, let our children's children figure it out, they need to have something to do anyway as we keep doing it all for them as it is

  8. yea me too on Ask Slashdot: Money-Making Home-Based Tech Skills? · · Score: 1

    I wish I could put a couple months of effort into something and make a reasonable income on it too, that way I could spend as little as I possibly could and reap the greatest benefits

    God bless America

  9. Re:An interesting use for Raspberry Pi on DARPA Funding a $50 Drone-Droppable Spy Computer · · Score: 2

    Nevermind the PI's are JUST NOW starting production, its in the fucking second sentence!

    "Built from just the disassembled hardware in a commercially-available PogoPlug mini-computer"

    now goto a website called google.com and type in PogoPlug and see what pops up ... now is that a Raspberry PI?

    damnit man!

  10. Re:Slashdot won't report this on When Viruses Infect Worms · · Score: 1

    no one gives a fuck about your conspiracy theory

  11. Yea ok on Mars Rover Opportunity Turns 8 · · Score: 0

    1) IT did not actually put those 78 Million miles on its own hardware, its like if I ship a toyota from japan to virgina, I did not DRIVE it from A to B and I shure as hell would not add the shipping mileage to its odometer

    2) Are we really that proud that something we built lasted 8 years? that's like the breaking in period for a diesel Mercedes with far more (actual, not shipping) miles on it

  12. Man that sounds like a lot of effort on ReDigi Defends Used Digital Music Market · · Score: 3, Interesting

    For some bullshit I doubt anyone wants, seriously you can buy the best the world has to offer for 99 cents a track, what kind of horseshit DRM system to I have to infect windows with and dance around just to save what? 25 fucking cents in the end?

  13. Re:It's all moot anyway.... on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 1

    um yea teachers make a good living, with good benefits, and do little more than sit at their desk babysitting while time on their union contract ticks away to a pension. The problem is because of all that WE CANT GET RID of the useless fucks, so even if you are a good teacher there are just so many of them milking the system that most people wont even bother to make a distinction.

  14. Re:Oh yes, software on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 3, Funny

    "So a movie has no value?"
    apparently you dont pay much attention to the movies you DO watch, glitery vampires marries a mall cop, who turns out to be adam sandler in drag, yea thats right up there with god dammed gold in terms of value

  15. Fuck you ATT on AT&T Threatening To Raise Rates After Merger Failure · · Score: 1

    Seriously, you have been fucking your customer well before I was even born in the late 70's and you continue to this day, meanwhile guess what? the world has been changing, and while you all are sitting around a table laughing to the bank on scams, people like me in 2010 could not even make a fucking voice call in a populated area with a god damned giant ass att tower visible in the distance! While a nobody prepaid from jersey piggybacking on the pcs network has been working great with less dropped calls!

    I am not sorry you have squandered your money time and customers, and now feel a pinch, tough fucking shit, go to hell you worthless whiney bitch. And quit wasting taxpayer time and money with your little tantrums

  16. Re:This is why the Raspberry Pi will be the new ZX on For Sinclair Fans, The ZX81 Lives On · · Score: 1

  18. Oh noes on Twitter Can Now Block Tweets In Specific Countries · · Score: 0, Troll

    Some guy in *insert dictatorship here* wont get the latest update from my fart detecting chair!

  19. Re:This is why the Raspberry Pi will be the new ZX on For Sinclair Fans, The ZX81 Lives On · · Score: 2

    price is not the only factor

    for one the time had a lot to do with it, now YOU could have a computer without breaking the bank, much more impressive in 81 vs 012, next all you had to do is plug it in and your computing, PI well your going to have to choose and install a linux distro on the thing before it does more than sit there, which sad to say is still a challenge for most people today.

  20. Re:The Sinclair is not a big deal on For Sinclair Fans, The ZX81 Lives On · · Score: 1

  21. Re:Yes its everyone elses fault on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 1

    what EA? hell yes, I haven't even bothered to look at their crap ever since Need for Speed turned into "wannabe tuner soap opera", and when I was at a buddies house looking at handegg 2010 I noticed on his big ass HD TV, that they never even bothered to update the HUD graphics from the previous generation, circles that looked like a C-64 drew them in lowres, missing pixels and the distinct resizing blurring, nevermind the game was about as responsive as a whack-a-mole machine.

  22. Yes its everyone elses fault on Xbox 720 Might Reject Used Games · · Score: 1

    that you the publishers spent millions of dollars on absolute garbage like mindjack and no one wants to buy it?

    What SHOULD be dying is all the garbageware game publishers!
