  1. Re:Honestly not that bad on Ubuntu Will Now Have Amazon Ads Pre-Installed · · Score: 2

    They would need less ad revenue if they didnt constantly shit on, and drive away their users.

  2. Re:No redundancy on Three Mile Island Shuts Down After Pump Failure · · Score: 1

    that and temporary testing is not a real measurement of long term performance

    great it passed the 10 hour test, hows that going to hold when its the only path for a week?

  3. Re:Set things up? on Raspberry Pi For the Rest of Us · · Score: 1

    its more like we keep getting questions cause there isnt lego bricks for us, so we did it for everyone who couldnt boot a computer with a live cd, plug in an SD card, and copy an image with word for word instructions

    I dont know if ada is good or bad, she tends to get more people intrested, but those people tend to be less willing to learn and just want magic to plug into the wall

  5. and more crap oriented on Microsoft Urging Safari Users To Use Bing · · Score: 1

    yay great my search engine has a animated background, and shows me at least one page of kittens for an image search, just what I wanted when I pay out the ass per byte

  6. Re:No redundancy on Three Mile Island Shuts Down After Pump Failure · · Score: 1

    I would rather it shut down than have some pump and plumbing that hasnt been used since the 70's at random take the full force at any given time

    but hey you go right ahead

  7. Re:Such a waste of money on Apple iPad 2 As Fast As the Cray-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    i assume you mean in the performance per watt department

    and to that, well when they come out with a 3.8ghz 8 core ipad that beats the performance to COST ratio then we will have a argument

    fact is who cares if your wasting watts, when you can buy 6x the computer power for 1/3 the price

    ya know, when work has to be done...

  8. BFD on Apple iPad 2 As Fast As the Cray-2 Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    it doesnt have nearly as much wirewrap as a Cray 2, thus making it lame

    call us when you have an army of workers individually wiring up each bank of gates with a screw driver and a bit of wire ... IN PRODUCTION

  9. I bet on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 0

    your the type that shows up, fucks around for while drinking that giant mug of coffee, then runs off and takes a 45 min shit before doing anything useful at your work. Thats why you have to punch a clock to take a piss, and if thats not you, then find that one person and let them know how you feel.

  10. Re:Begs the question: what is a Personal Computer? on The Passing of the Personal Computer Era · · Score: 1

    I dont follow, early computers gave you everything you needed out of the box to make everything you wanted, as they didnt have software and hardware to do anything

  11. Re:Just in from Ford on AMD's Hondo Chip 'A Windows 8 Product' · · Score: 1

    to be fair, its not floating

  12. ugh tablets on AMD's Hondo Chip 'A Windows 8 Product' · · Score: 0

    hasnt everyone that wanted one have one already? you can get fairly nice droid tablets for less than 100 bucks all day long, and some are still treating it like the next greatest thing?

  13. Re:Groan! on Microsoft Patents Whacking Your Phone To Silence It · · Score: 1

    I have never had a hit to disarm alarm clock

    3 slide switch models and a specific button to press model in my 33 years I have never whacked an alarm clock, as in my entire life they have not operated that way

    and if your country is so innovative why dont we hear about your invaluable inventions every day?

  14. funny on Microsoft Patents Whacking Your Phone To Silence It · · Score: 1

    my windows 5 phone just has a easy to find physical button that requires nothing more than a press of the thumb

  15. Re:change is good on X11 Window System Turns 25 Years Old · · Score: 1

    LN = linux nerd

    and care to explain why any of that matters? complex animations sounds like fluff that eats system power to present a box with items in it, and the last OSX I used was 10.2 and I wasnt taken back by its abilities in the mouse + desktop arena, there was a mouse pointer and a desktop, should I read more into that simple idea?

    again why? whats the benefit for me to hose everything thats been working fine? toys? animations? I dont want my desktop to get in the way of applications.

  16. "Nobody will use Linux because" on Are Commercial Games Finally Going To Make It To Linux? · · Score: 1

    for the most part its a pain in the ass to use that doesnt run the software people want, it doesnt matter if its games, photoshop or MS office, people are not going to put themselves in a position where they are subject to more grief and less benefits

    linux is fine where it is, quit trying to shoehorn it where it doesnt belong

    and?
    if those people have any skills they will easily find another job, and if not, they will have time to make some decisions about their lives.

    I dont buy this feeling that no company can fail for the poor workers will starve to death in a gutter crap ... I was recently unemployed for a year and yet I am still alive, newley employed and doing better than I was at my last job. So let them cut jobs, again its better for everyone.

  25. A nail for XP? lol np on Google Kills Apps Support For Internet Explorer 8 · · Score: 1

    just load chrome or firefox on XP

    I really wonder if MS knows it lost that battle, you have the IE6 crowd using their slow janky, hard coded 640x480 database front ends, and then people like my parents, where "fox, ... fire" has been a part of their everyday existence for over a half decade

    IE? whats that, a sporadic TV commercial with nearly 2 decades of pure SHIT to remind us of why we dont use IE in the first place?
