  1. question on Announcing Adafruit Gemma – Miniature Wearable Electronic Platform · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Can I wash it?

  2. Re:Beginning of the end of the homebuilt desktop on Intel Leaving Desktop Motherboard Business · · Score: 2

    there were homebuilt desktops before intel started "making" motherboards, they will still be around after ... intel isnt the only one making mobo's for intel chips

  3. Is it Halloween already? on Steve Jobs Threatened Palm To Stop Poaching Employees · · Score: 1

    Since were telling ghost stories and all, just wondering

  4. Re:Backporting features? on LTSI Linux Kernel 3.4 Released · · Score: 1

    Define 386 support, cause the kernel wont work on a 386 chip, hell its hard to find one that supports a pentium, think 2.4 or somewhere around there was the death of that

  5. Re:LTS on LTSI Linux Kernel 3.4 Released · · Score: 2

    funny, I still have Ubuntu 9 on my old beater laptop and the repos work fine, hell I have Debian potato on a Pentium that still reads the repos 13 years later

    why is it your family is using Ubuntu, cant figure out basic operation, and then call you, when you don't use Ubuntu?

    Thats like calling the Ford dealer for your volkswagon

  6. Re: Are auto-complete results even useful? on 'Bankrupt' Australian Surgeon Sues Google For Auto-Complete · · Score: 1

    oh I know exactly what to type for a purple unicorn rimjob without anal tearing

  7. Are auto-complete results even useful? on 'Bankrupt' Australian Surgeon Sues Google For Auto-Complete · · Score: 1

    it might be, but half the time it seems the auto complete script chokes and leaves me with a blank page, making the point of it moot, other times as I am typing I see exactly what I am looking for, then the page changes.

    I lived fine with clicking a button, and I still have to click a button so whats the point?

    bloated unwanted feature

  8. Re:... so I rebooted. on Fedora 18 Installer: Counterintuitive and Confusing? · · Score: 1

    why not, mint 11 would though all sorts of errors on boot, the seconds boot a whole new set of errors, keep rebooting and it would eventually unfuck itself, and thats why I quit using mint

  9. Re:Is it the Windows 8 disease? on Fedora 18 Installer: Counterintuitive and Confusing? · · Score: 1

    yea linux has been doing this bullshit for a couple years now, and continuing to make the whole system worse ... pretty sad that ubuntu 8 is the current high water mark

  10. Re:We need better support from NVIDIA/AMD first on Valve Starts Promoting Steam For Linux To Windows Users · · Score: 1

    maha! you dont want better drivers, you want source code so you can fork it 100 different ways and make it even more confusing

  11. Re:Why? on Valve Starts Promoting Steam For Linux To Windows Users · · Score: 1

    typically, but not always

    ah beat me to it

    "Adam West was listed in the Sun Valley, ID white pages as Batman for many years :)"

    heh yea I could see him doing that

  14. Re:Well no on How Much Beef Is In Your Burger? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I make burgers out of 100% beef and they are not steak

  15. Re:Apple shut down lala in 2010 on How Apple Killed an iTunes Competitor · · Score: 1

    30 grand is a small mistake in serious engineering, not a news story, they are saving money to have a reasonable and somewhat proven concept handed to them

  16. Re:80 Million Isn't Exactly Death on How Apple Killed an iTunes Competitor · · Score: 1

    as a customer I would not give a fart about someone that is in it to just sell out and crap on my interest

  17. Re:and they paved the way for spotify on How Apple Killed an iTunes Competitor · · Score: 0

    as much as I hate to say it there was no such model before apple

    its one of the few things they actually did do themselves (unlike drop down menus, icons or rounded rectangles)

  18. If you want to avoid hurricanes on Wikimedia Moving Main Data Center To Ashburn, Virginia · · Score: 1

    Move it more inland

    just sayin, as it stands they are about the same distance from the cost that gets hit the most

    Indiana on the other hand ... but I dont know about connectivity

  19. Beating a dead horse on SolusOS Forks Gnome 3 Fallback Mode · · Score: 1

    Gnome 2 was a good companion that was dragged to the street and shot in the head without a emotion by its devs, since there has been a handful of forks and workalikes. I cant find anything on these except opinion and dont have time to sit down and fiddle fart installing DE's to find out what the differences, quirks, and compatibilities are.

    There is just not enough signal in the noise on the gnome 2 wannabe's IMO

  20. Re:Don't fly (at least in US) on Ask Slashdot: Anti-Theft Devices For Luggage? · · Score: 4, Funny

    yea cause we all know trains fly

  22. Re:Remember Netbooks? on VIA Unveils $79 Rock and $99 Paper ARM PCs · · Score: 2

    Thats not it at all, its a combination of poor everything that honestly can be accomplished with a composite video signal and a monitor, but knock yourself out, just hope grandpa or whatever mistakes a frozen image for live and backs over the dog

  23. yay makers on MAKE's 2nd International Maker Meetup: Raspberry Pi · · Score: 1, Troll

    we can get our PI's, sugru, a 3d printer and some led's and make dragons with blinky eyes

  24. Re:Remember Netbooks? on VIA Unveils $79 Rock and $99 Paper ARM PCs · · Score: 2

    "Or the RaspberryPi in my truck hooked up to a bumper-cam and 1TB hard drive is something my safety conscious family doesn't care about."

    yikes, a safety system cobbled together by a hobbyist running on a platform that was designed by people who seemed to learn a EDA during the pi's development all running open source software?

  25. Re:Raspberry Pi on VIA Unveils $79 Rock and $99 Paper ARM PCs · · Score: 1

    well its 3x as much as the stripped down pi, not quite as big of a difference for the 512 meg pi
