  1. You still might want to use Waterfox on 64-bit Firefox is the New Default on 64-bit Windows (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1

    Waterfox is 64bits and gets rid of a bunch of cruft that Mozilla puts in Firefox.

  2. I had already swapped systemd-resolved for dnsmasq because that works.

  3. Re:Openstreetmap.org on Get Ready To Be Bombarded With Ads When Using Google Maps (news.com.au) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It doesn't look quite as polished and smartphone-oriented as the Almighty GOOG's version

    OsmAnd is quite usable though.

  4. âoeHere to stayâ on Tech's Big 5 -- Here to Stay? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Since when has Amazon actually been making a profit, then?

  5. Re:What you see today on Magician & Investigator James Randi Talks Directly to You (Video) · · Score: 2

    Slashdot keeps using technology from two decades ago.

    Well, that's just because Lynx hasn't implemented the canvas tag yet.

  6. Re:What is the point on Samsung And Docomo Reportedly Working on Tizen Phone · · Score: 0

    For consumers what is the benefit of another phone OS with another incompatible app store? What features does this OS have. Is it faster? Cheaper? Prettier?

    Yeah, heaven forbid we ever make something new. Choice is bad, h'mkay?

  7. Re:Warm feeling on Microsoft Has Been Watching, and It Says You're Getting Used To Windows 8 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Data collected automatically from some Windows users

    Oh, that gives me such a warm feeling inside...

    If people just used Ubuntu, that wouldn't happen.

  8. RT knows all about freedom of press, hm?

  9. Re:What they were doing in Canada? on Pakastani Politician Detained By US Customs Over Opposition To Drone Strikes · · Score: 5, Funny

    What the hell were US immigration officials doing in Canada, if I may ask?

    Spreading freedom.

  10. Re:dot slash? on Can Ubuntu Linux Consume Less Power Than Windows? · · Score: 1

    I cnocur.

  11. You learn something new every day on Can Ubuntu Linux Consume Less Power Than Windows? · · Score: 1

    I thought that on ./ all that counted (except for laptops) was uptime, ie. not turning your machine off when you're not using it.

  12. Re:horseshit on Austin's Alamo Drafthouse Theater Gives Texters the Boot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I admit it, I check email during a movie because I need to.

    No you don't. A cinema isn't exactly a proper place to work.

  13. Re:I wasn't worried about the good actors... on AP Adopts Firefox's 'Do Not Track'; Others On the Way · · Score: 1

    I'd much rather trust the Ghostery extension to just block the tracker scripts to begin with.

    Ghostery is marketeer self-regulation as well, blocking only scripts from companies who opted in to the program.

  14. Amazing on Flash-to-HTML5 Translator: Smart But Not Pretty · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A translator from one top-heavy system to another is not pretty. Who'd have thunk it?

  15. standalone IE on Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead · · Score: 1

    Isn't the standalone method (known since the eolas debacle) sufficient?

  16. Listen you stupid machine! on 'Smart' Vending Machines Triple Sales · · Score: 2, Funny

    Listen you stupid machine, it tastes filthy! Here, take this cup back!

  17. Nobody believes me when I say I have an "open mind" on pretty much any subject.

  18. It's because ... on AU Government Censors Document On Planned Web Snooping · · Score: 1

    ... information wants to XX XXXX.

  19. Re:The best feature they could add... on Lightspark 0.4.2 Open Source Flash Player Released · · Score: 2, Informative

    I'd settle for restricting flash to site domain only.

    What a novel concept!

  20. Now ... on Visually Demonstrating Chrome's Rendering Speed · · Score: 1

    If only pages would load as fast as they can be rendered.

  21. Re:Right. on "Lost" and the Emergence of Hypertext Storytelling · · Score: 1

    What is perhaps interesting is that Lost has a lot more popular appeal than the examples I quote above, so maybe this type of storytelling is becoming more appealing to the average TV viewer?

    What?

  22. Re:Right. on "Lost" and the Emergence of Hypertext Storytelling · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because nobody ever told stories with large amounts of flashback before the advent of hypertext.

    But if you tie it to a fancy buzzword, it's all new and exciting!

  23. As if ... on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1
  24. Re:Now we can have... on Atom Processors Set New Record For Power-Efficient Sorting · · Score: 2, Funny

    no no no — you're supposed to say “Can you imagine...”

  25. Re:Peer review vs. "gray literature" on UN To Create Independent Panel To Review IPCC · · Score: 1

    a professor at the University of Edinburgh DOES = good science and for things like this... i think i'll ask someone i KNOW to be an expert.... good idea don't you think?

    Come to think of it, it probably is a good idea. The more people get to know about this guy, the better.
