  1. Re:The site got suspended... on NSA Releases Secret Pre-History of Computers · · Score: 1

    Google webcache has this

  2. Re:Should Have be Charged With Treason on US Charges Edward Snowden With Espionage · · Score: 1

    Where's the "+1, Depressingly true" mod option when you need it?

  3. Re:Subtle mind control on Wi-Fi Light Bulbs Shipping Soon · · Score: 1

    Then comes the malware which makes all the lights in your house turn on except for the ones in the room you're currently in... which would be ever so frustrating (and tempting)

  4. Also not included: on Google Glass Banned At Google Shareholder Meeting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Anything with a camera... who would have thought Glass would be any different? I'm confused as to why anyone would be surprised about this.

  5. Re:only if it saves money on Should Congress Telecommute? · · Score: 1

    Hell no! They'll give themselves a raise for being 'green' since they don't have to travel anymore!

  6. Yes on Are Lenovo's ThinkPads Getting Worse? · · Score: 2

    While we all know about Betteridge's Law, the answer here is yes.

  7. Re:Eh, that's it? on Samsung Unveils the Galaxy S4 · · Score: 1

    I can't think of any line of phones where I would want to have each iteration.

    Tell that to the Apple Fanbois

  8. Patents? on Project To Build Dual-Booting Linux, Android Tablet For $100 · · Score: 1

    There was literally just a story on why we wouldn't be seeing this type of thing... I'm all for this, but I can see this getting sued into oblivion :(

  9. Batteries. on Ask Slashdot: What Stands In the Way of a Truly Solar-Powered Airliner? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The capacity and weight as well as power delivery, for taking off (with clouds above) and night flights.

  10. Since it's been posted before... on Ask Slashdot: Ad-Hoc Wireless Mesh Network For Emergency Vehicles? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Here's the article from less than 2 weeks ago about the same thing. They had a few interesting ideas.

  11. Yeah, but on Asus Announces x86 Transformer · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Can it run Crysis?

  12. Re:Hardcoded famous trademark on Chemists Make Olympic Rings On a Molecular Scale · · Score: 1

    IIRC, a trademark's lifespan is dictated by how long it is actively defended (in this case, by the IOC or whatever).

  13. Sounds legit on SSD Latency, Error Rates May Spell Bleak Future · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because there could *never* be a breakthrough discovery/invention found within the next 10 years.

  14. Re:This could be amazing for the disabled on Some Windows 8 Laptops May Come With Built-In Kinect Sensors · · Score: 1

    IIRC, the new kinects that microsoft have been (are going to?) sell specifically for the PC (at a higher price, of course) were designed with a different sensor, such that the user could be much closer to the kinect than previously. This probably was the stepping stone for these new laptops.

  15. Re:Bloat? What Bloat? on Chrome 15 Overtakes IE 8 For Top Browser Spot · · Score: 1

    For some reason whenever I need to use firefox to test a site or something, whenever I close it, I find that about 3 hours afterwards, its taking up about 2gb of ram. I have to kill the process manually. This happens without fail. So yes, when it is freshly opened it may be better. But 3 hours after you close it, you shouldn't have to worry about it using up any ram, let alone 2gb.

  16. Two-Step verification on Judge Makes Divorcing Couple Swap Facebook Passwords · · Score: 1

    If you ever were looking for a better time to use it, you won't find one.
