  1. We've got so much to look forward to. on Salesforce CEO Benioff: Future Software Will Look Like Facebook · · Score: 1

    Also, in the future all restaurants are Taco Bell. And all ice cream is Dippin' Dots.

  2. Re:Unionize on Ask Slashdot: When Does Time Tracking at Work Go Too Far? · · Score: 1

    Settle down. alere didn't say unions were always a bad thing. He (or she) simply told us his experience, which is relevant in the conversation, especially since he works in the same industry as the OP. And after you are done lecturing others about fallacious arguments, you can work on your own reading comprehension.

  3. Try electrical engineering instead on Ask Slashdot - Careers In Computer Science That Keep You Physically Active? · · Score: 1

    Computer science job generally equals programming, which means sitting down at a computer all day. If that doesn't interest you, try a related field: electrical and/or computer engineering. This opens up a wide variety of jobs all the way across the physical activity spectrum. Some engineer spend all day at a desk designing/programming, but others are in field service and spend lots of time traveling and working on physical machinery.

  4. Once upon a time warp... on Disney Research Can Turn Nearly Any Surface Into a Touch Screen · · Score: 1

    Is this how the Virgin Alarm in Spaceballs worked?

  5. Screen? on Disney Research Can Turn Nearly Any Surface Into a Touch Screen · · Score: 1

    Doesn't the name "touch screen" imply a display?

  6. Re:Change Windows version on Mozilla Ponders Major Firefox UI Refresh · · Score: 1

    Firefox does preserve the settings when it updates. When Firefox first got rid of the status bar and moved the tabs to the top, I undid those changes. That was like 6 versions ago, and I haven't had to redo it once.

  7. Re:Chrome? on Mozilla Ponders Major Firefox UI Refresh · · Score: 1

    I think he's talking about this: http://i45.tinypic.com/4sy43t.jpg Not exactly a pop-up, but annoying nonetheless. Also, Chrome is often bundled with other "freeware." Equally annoying.

  8. Can't justify the high monthly cost on Do You Really Need a Smart Phone? · · Score: 1

    I have a prepaid AT&T GoPhone which makes all the calls I care to make and costs me $9/month. In addition, I have an iPod Touch that does nearly everything an iPhone does whenever WiFi is available for $0/month. Sure, it would be nice to have a new iPhone that would work everywhere, but I just can't justify increasing my monthly fee by 700% for the convenience.

  9. Re:Happy Christmas From the Golden Girls! on Ask Slashdot: Most Efficient, Worthwhile Charity? · · Score: 2

    Was Yuri Gagarin one of the Golden Girls?

  10. Make your voice heard on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1
  11. Re:Ron Paul is god dammed retard!!! on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    Compared to your insightful, well-reasoned, and grammatically perfect rebuttal?

  12. Targus XL on Ask Slashdot: Laptop + DSLR Backpacks · · Score: 1

    I just ordered a Targus XL for a 17" laptop + some large tools (multimeter, hand tools). I haven't received it yet, so I can't speak firsthand, but from what I've seen online it may be big enough for you. You might want to look into it further.

  13. Re:I thought the GOP was on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 1

    The bill is sponsored by 2 Ds and 1 R: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bill.xpd?bill=s112-978 And remember, the Senate is controlled by Democrats. Not everything is partisan; People from both parties are equally capable of bad law.

  14. Express your view on Embed a Video, Go To Jail? · · Score: 3

    Let your representatives know what your view is here: https://www.popvox.com/bills/us/112/s978

  15. Re:Heretics are burned. on Is Science Just a Matter of Faith? · · Score: 1

    Science "heretics" are flamed here on Slashdot everyday.

  16. Firmware upgrade on FCC Giving Away Wi-fi Routers For Broadband Tests · · Score: 1

    Are the routers DD-WRT compatible?
