    warning, obnoxious douche that can define dubstep sighted, take cover in your safe place until the fecal storm subsides

  2. Re:Robot? on Inside Mantis: a 2-Ton Hexapod Robot With a Linux Brain · · Score: 0

    I can start my car and access my house via wifi, and control many aspects of it with a phone, is that a robot, acc to your theory its the fucking terminator

  3. OMFG on Inside Mantis: a 2-Ton Hexapod Robot With a Linux Brain · · Score: 0

    it went almost 10 feet in 2 min and 100 jump cuts

    it put its foot on a pile of stuff then jump cut to it walking on smooth tarmac

    it kicked a barrel while standing completely still

    meanwhile a stupid mid 80's army hummer can travel at highway speeds. can scale a 3 foot wall, and who gives a shit about a barrel, an empty cylinder is not a problem when you have wheels that dont span 15 feet wide

  4. Dont you mean he Jumps... on HP Chairman Raymond Lane Steps Down · · Score: 1

    Then floats down on a golden parachute while contributing nothing of value to the company?

  5. Re:6000 developers? on OUYA Console Starts Shipping To Kickstarter Backers · · Score: -1

    of course not, you forgot the 1000 half assed super mario brothers clones with no physics in the jump

  6. Re:Who is the core audience for Windows? on Falling Windows RT Tablet Prices Signify Slow Adoption · · Score: 1

    It just worked until about 2 years ago, now it pops up at some screwy resolution at 50Hz which makes my monitor flip out for 2 seconds every 5 seconds... been using linux for about 10 years now, been using debian based systems for about 4, now every single distro I try does the same thing ... kernel thing I guess.

    winders 7 has no problem detecting it, nor does OSX when I drag the dusty old mac out

  7. Re:Who is the core audience for Windows? on Falling Windows RT Tablet Prices Signify Slow Adoption · · Score: 1

    Debian is what I have now, it took a good hour to get it working at 1280x1024@60 hz with a kludge

  8. I hope they do their math on Mining Companies Borrow From Gamers' Physics Engines · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Cause the physics in video games are mostly there for looks and are highly inaccurate

  9. Re:Who is the core audience for Windows? on Falling Windows RT Tablet Prices Signify Slow Adoption · · Score: 1

    what is this magical DVD? I haven't found one that even recognizes my monitor correctly anymore let alone lets me program anything outside of core functions without a good download of toolchains (nevermind eclipse itself)

  10. Re:Who is the core audience for Windows? on Falling Windows RT Tablet Prices Signify Slow Adoption · · Score: -1, Troll

    considering MS dos has not been a part of windows since windows 2000, I assume you are also unaware of how modern windows works? For instance my dad gets some garbage on his computer he hits a button for system restore, waits a few min, and he is back to where he was.

    Windows is for people who dont want a 1400$ i5 and limited software support(mac), or people who dont want to dig though 40 years of legacy bullcrap in a text window to make a widget, with zero support outside of spartan core functionality(linux).

  11. Re:The context of the case on Build a Secret Compartment, Go To Jail · · Score: 0

    says the "guilty before proven innocent" mindset who resorts to name calling when presented with an argument

    I do have an answer, its not illegal so its none of your biz, coming from a state where they commonly pull people over, confiscate their cash and call them dope peddlers when they were on their way to buy a car from a private person, I take your attitude to be a poor one, cause last I checked I still live in a free country.

  12. Re:The context of the case on Build a Secret Compartment, Go To Jail · · Score: 0

    it doesn't matter, transporting large amounts of cash is not illegal, so its none of your bees wax

  13. ok screw slashdot today on Dell, Raymond Unveil 'One Smartwatch Per Child'; Icahn Erupts · · Score: 1

    I have not been on all day, and this is the "joke" they presented?

    yea I am not going to click though a days worth of stories, then click a dumbass link, just to read a summary of something I only MIGHT be interested in.

    A gag story or 12 ok ha ha, its only 1 day, this isnt even worth peoples time to come here

    c-ya tomorrow, sure I wont miss apple hate, nasa worship, bitcoins and pi's for today

  15. where did those suitcase phones go? on FCC To Update 1996 Cell Phone Radiation Standard · · Score: 1

    I dunno, ask the 80's, while bag phones did still exist, they were typically old models still lurking around. My first phone was a self contained model, no bag, but still large ... but my dad had used it for 5 years at that point, and that was in 94. My second phone was a candybar nokia, not much bigger than the HTC I have now.

    When I think 90's phone I think of clamshells and candybars, monochrome glcd's and 7 segment OLED's, not some wall street yuppie with a sweater tied around his neck playing tennis with his army radio near by.

  16. Re:The last step on New Facebook-Branded Android Coming? · · Score: 1

    its probably real cheap n easy to talk HTC into doing something that has a glimmer of hope

  17. once apon a time on How Could Swarms of Robots Help Humanity? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    most inventions were made out of necessity to solve a problem, now we make shit and sit there looking at it going "wut now?"

    yea I know it takes some time to get stuff right, but call me when this thing gets out of duke nukem forever mode k

    thanks

  19. from producing 2D to 3D high-definition movies... on Animation Sophistication: The Croods Required 80 Million Compute Hours · · Score: 2

    ..."over the past decade, the data required to produce the films increased tremendously."

    but yet the quality and entertainment of such movies at best remains about the same.

    Besides I always get a kick out of the HD systems at a cinema, sure brag about your HD flickering mirrors and your THX Super surround, doesnt mean squat when the picture is still fuzzy and the speakers sound like a cheap set of computer speakers with too much bass running though 2 metal 1 watt tweeters and a 8 inch floppy as shit "sub"

  20. Re:26 I/O Lines and a Lot Cheaper on Ask Slashdot: Why Buy a Raspberry Pi When I Have a Perfectly Good Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    the big problem with the I/O lines is it goes though a huge OS so doing simple things like i2c is challenging

    its fine if you want to flicker a led

  21. Re:Depends on use-case on Ask Slashdot: Why Buy a Raspberry Pi When I Have a Perfectly Good Cellphone? · · Score: 1

    it doesnt make a ton of sense there considering you can get android sticks that work out of the box that do everything a TV packed pi does after fucking around with it

  22. Re:Linux Mint - What a joke... on Longest Running Linux Distribution Slackware Adopts MariaDB · · Score: 1

    I jumped the mint ship really quick, every version I have tried just had a pile of nitpicky bullshit headaches added on to its half thought out, partially broken tacked on enhancements... I dont see why people would recommend it, its just ubuntu with more junk to break. If I just want to drop a disk in and install its typically xubuntu these days

  23. yay for progress! on Windows Blue 9364 Screenshots Show Feature Enhancements · · Score: 5, Funny

    one of the featured screenshots being a calculator that will suck up every inch of my large desktop monitor, take that you 20 year old serial terminal in the other room and your fucking text based "windows"

  24. Re:Goods for Sale on Canadian Man Wants To Trade Home For Bitcoins · · Score: 1

    oh thats handy, all I have to do is reference a large set of charts to see which vendors (who seem to all be out of my country) accepts bitcoins so I can search their websites to buy toilet paper

    or I can just grab some change out of the car and walk across the street like a normal person without paying 50 bucks international shipping

    brilliant
