  1. Re:The right to offend ... on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    It's both sad & hilarious that that's what you took away from the previous comment. Talk about mental gymnastics.

  2. Re:Obama on President Obama Backs Regulation of Broadband As a Utility · · Score: 1

    Called it.

    These assholes are so predictable. If Obama cured cancer they'd accuse him of killing medical jobs.

  3. Re:Obama on President Obama Backs Regulation of Broadband As a Utility · · Score: 0

    Unfortunately, now that Obama has come out in support of NN, the R's in the House & Senate will fight it tooth & nail.

  4. Re:West Virginia too on Boo! The House Majority PAC Is Watching You · · Score: 1

    The problem is that with the US system, you cannot vote blank.

    You can in Florida.

    A co-worker of mine is a resident alien (not a citizen, although she was married to one & could easily take the citizenship test if she wanted to), she also gets to vote for local elections here in FL.

  6. Re:Stop developing 64bit on OEM Windows 7 License Sales End This Friday · · Score: 1

    There is no earthly benefit to running Windows as 64bit

    How about 16Gb+ RAM in ArcGIS or AutoCAD? You quite literally don't know what the fuck you are blabbering about.

  7. Re:workaround on Facebook To DEA: Stop Using Phony Profiles To Nab Criminals · · Score: 1

    Apparently you've never head of a little company called IBM.

  8. Re:Won't anyone think of the corporations? on As Prison Population Sinks, Jails Are a Steal · · Score: 1

    My favorite variation is: "I'll believe corporations are people when one comes home from Afghanistan in a body bag."

  9. Teahadists on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 0

    And the US Tea Party is taking notes.

    Better get some for Houston too

    You can't make this shit up.

  12. Re:Cox on Groundwork Laid For Superfast Broadband Over Copper · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough I wasn't given an actual name for the process & this (Arizona) is apparently the 1st system in the US to try this out on a large scale basis.

  13. Re:Cox on Groundwork Laid For Superfast Broadband Over Copper · · Score: 1

    It's for both, the distribution to the cabinets will be fiber as well, but not necessarily using existing coax.

  14. Re:That's good, but... on Groundwork Laid For Superfast Broadband Over Copper · · Score: 1

    You need to call your local Public Utility Commission & complain. It's the only thing that can force a regional monopoly to get off of their ass & do something.

  15. Cox on Groundwork Laid For Superfast Broadband Over Copper · · Score: 1

    I'm currently working on a project for Cox Communications in which they are chemically dissolving the foam inside of the coaxial cable conduit & then air blowing fiber through the newly created space inside the conduit. Pretty cool stuff. This avoids the costs associated with permitting, digging new trench & burying separate fiber conduit & they can use the DWDM hardware they already have on hand instead of buying new systems like this.

  16. Buffalo on Ask Slashdot: Life Beyond the WRT54G Series? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Personally I love my Buffalo routers running DD-WRT. I'm pretty sure you can run Tomato on them too, but I thought it wasn't maintained anymore.

  17. Re:what Snowden has done is like... on Russia Cracks Down On Public Wi-Fi; Oracle Blocks Java Downloads In Russia · · Score: 1

    What Snowden has done was get his passport revoked by the US state department, but hey, let's not let facts get in the way of your stupid fucking comparison.

    I fucking wish Obama had the nads to say something even close to that publicly.

  19. Re:Not Getting Paid on Crytek USA Collapses, Sells Game IP To Other Developers · · Score: 1

    Seeing as Germany is the only country that has come thru this recession smelling like roses, pardon me if I take your opinion with a grain of salt.

    That has got to be the single worst attempt at a straw-man I've ever seen. Did you even read what he wrote?

    I gotta admit, as a kid I liked the 2 CRPG "GoldBox" versions of Buck Rodgers.

  22. Re:Games with known linux ports? on GOG.com Announces Linux Support · · Score: 1

    I should have been more clear. I don't remember all of the particulars, but I couldn't even get the port of Alpha Centauri running on Kubuntu 12.04.

  23. Games with known linux ports? on GOG.com Announces Linux Support · · Score: 2

    There are a few GoG games that have known Linux ports already, like Unreal Tournament 2004. Personally, I hope we see a modernized Alpha Centauri Linux port on GoG soon. The Icclus one doesn't seem to fare to well on modern systems.

    Companies that do these mass layoffs should be banned from utilizing H1B visa employees for one month per employee terminated.
