  1. Re:Leave you phone^W lojack at home. on Leave Your Cellphone At Home, Says Jacob Appelbaum · · Score: -1, Troll

    Libertarian = extra ignorant and extra selfish run of the mill conservative.

  2. Re:Star Trek on "Real-life Tricorder" To Be Tested On International Space Station · · Score: 3, Funny

    Farenheit 452

    Was there a sequel I missed?

  3. Re:Good on Lexmark To Exit Inkjet Printer Market · · Score: 1

    Some do. Xerox printers pretty reliably have actual PS from Adobe. Most other real printers (not the WinPrinter shite or whatever) do it also, seems. Whatever passes as a standard office type of printer anyway (like the HP 4000 and cousins).

  4. Re:fire the board. on PC Makers In Desperate Need of a Reboot · · Score: 1

    I'm glad I'm not the only one.

    Agreed. I'm outspoken and often disagreeable, and my karma is excellent. He's doing something wrong.

  6. Government Computer Skillz on DOJ Says iPhone Is So Secure They Can't Crack It · · Score: 5, Funny

    I've never been too impressed with government agencies and their knowledge of computing.

  7. Re:Standard connectors? LOL you wish! on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 1

    Well, the current result is that nearly everyone can use a cell phone charger these days that is lying around the house, except people with iPhones. While the ubiquity of iPhones means that it's probably a good chance that someone has that charger around too, everyone else already fixed this problem and it's been really convenient to have the same charging cable as nearly everyone.

  8. Re:So much hate here... on Viacom and DirecTV Reach New Agreement · · Score: 1

    It's not abuse, but it's a stupid idea.

  9. Re:two quick points... on Viacom and DirecTV Reach New Agreement · · Score: 1

    They are nearly the only thing I watch. Their programming is excellent. The movies are a perk at this point.

  10. Re:It was a test indoors, so what? on Laser Powers Lockheed Martin's Stalker Drone For 48 Hours · · Score: 1

    Umm, so?

  11. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    Passenger railroads do not turn a profit in the United States, for a variety of reasons... not the least of which is the vast subsidization of road travel by the interstate highway system.

  12. Re:Free Candy? on Ask Slashdot: How To Add New Tech To Old Van? · · Score: 1

    Never mind that. I put mine at 9:45 and 2:17. Gives me an extra half hour to get where I'm goin'.

  13. Re:First dissent on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    Yeah, other guy says "yet." Hang in there.

  14. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, that is utter nonsense. No project for the public good would ever be accomplished.

  15. Re:So from here on out ... on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    Not, individually, afford to fund a national railroad or air traffic control system or anything like that.

  16. Re:Anyone See CNNs Initial Report It Was Struck Do on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine posted that on Facebook and was beat back... so anecdotally, yes.

  17. Re:First dissent on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Brilliant of you to play roulette with your health, but I guess no big deal as you can declare bankruptcy if you can't afford a major health catastrophe, or go to the hospital ER if you have no coverage.

  18. Re:First dissent on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 2

    My recollection is that it's still in there. Are you sure?

  19. Re:First dissent on Supreme Court: Affordable Care Act Is Constitutional · · Score: 1

    You seriously don't have to have car insurance in New Hampshire? That's new info to me.

  20. Re:Ugh, this makes me mad. on Nvidia Engineer Asks How the Company Can Improve Linux Support · · Score: 1

    The trouble is, try to stop them? I had the option on this laptop (where I did not choose the vendor) of nVidia or Intel. I've had even more trouble with Intel drivers, so where am I left?

  21. Re:Found happiness elsewhere on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    The now mostly-gone webOS phones are not the same way.

  22. Re:If RIM were a passenger jet... on RIM Manufacturing Partner Pulls the Plug On BlackBerry Phones · · Score: 1
  23. Re:I miss WebOS on HP's Core WebOS Enyo Team Going To Google · · Score: 1

    To me that seems like not an improvement. I bought a Pre3, but... I'm concerned that now instead of just looking like hell from being dropped, I'm going to end up with broken glass.

  24. Re:I miss WebOS on HP's Core WebOS Enyo Team Going To Google · · Score: 1

    It's incredible to me how much better made the Palm Pre Plus was than the Pre. Mine has been dropped and has tumbled and is cracked in a bunch of places but holds together. My girlfriend had one that cracked when I opened the battery cover (yes, properly) and the cracks travelled until they hit the screen.

  25. Re:Hopefully with UI improvements to come on HP's Core WebOS Enyo Team Going To Google · · Score: 1

    If you want SSH for free, you could try that SSH Mobile app I guess. Or, if you don't like the walled garden you can jailbreak and hope you don't come across any rouge free apps.

    Are the red apps more dangerous or something? Or is it apps that wear lipstick?
