  1. Re:Can't wait for self-driving cars on Concern Mounts Over Self-Driving Cars Taking Away Freedom · · Score: 1

    It would me certainly.

    I have a tendency not to notice things in my field of vision, so I'd be a danger on the road.

  2. Re:Why QT over GTK 3 ? on LXDE Previews Port From Gtk+ 2 to Qt · · Score: 2

    I've heard the Gtk3 devs are actively trying to prevent their stuff from being used outside of apps intended for GNOME 3 itself.

    Not sure how true that is though.

  3. Re:Mozilla About To Change Everything, Again. on Mozilla Plans Major Design Overhaul With Firefox 25 Release In October · · Score: 1

    Good thing Seamonkey's UI is still pretty much Netscape 4's.

  4. Re:I hope it is not... on Google and Adobe Contribute Open Source Rasterizer to FreeType · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought most of the important patents would be held by either Apple or Adobe...

    Well, Apple could troll, but wouldn't that ruin whatever deal they have in place with Adobe re Quartz?

  5. "Charles Carreon" ? on Man Who Tangled With The Oatmeal Ordered To Pay $46k · · Score: 1

    More like "Charles Carrion", am I right? *runs*

  6. Re:Pie factory in the NES version? on Dad Hacks "Donkey Kong" - Now Pauline Rescues Mario · · Score: 5, Informative

    There was a VC release bundled with certain editions of the Wii that had a ROM of the NES version with the pie factory level grafted in.

    -uso.

  7. Hm. I thought the Thruway was meant to remain toll.

    Of course, anyone headed across the state from Pennsylvania would be smart and shunpike on the 86/17 instead.

    -uso.

  8. You mean like the Grand Island Bridges between Buffalo and Niagara Falls, NY?

    -uso.

  9. And you know what would help even more? on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How about not forcing the postal service to keep 75 years' worth of back-funding for pensions?

    -uso.

  10. Good luck taxing e-mails sent from privately maintained offshore servers. :P

    -uso.

  11. Re:"Real GB" or "marketing GB"? on When 1 GB Is Really 0.9313 Gigabytes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Likewise I say "true GB" for 1024-based and "salesman's GB" for 1000-based. Because the 1024-based units ARE the true units, and the 1000-based units WERE created just to make hard drives look bigger than they actually were.

    -uso.

  12. Re:Do they even sell 68k chips on Debian m68k Port Resurrected · · Score: 1

    A friend of mine wrote a PC emulator on top of an 8051-compatible microcontroller. xD

    -uso.

  13. Re:HOBBIT IN 48 FPS - YECHH! on Carmack: Next-Gen Console Games Will Still Aim For 30fps · · Score: 1

    Uncanny valley?

  14. Re:Who doesn't want Pizza? on Papa John's Sued For Unwanted Pizza-Related Texts · · Score: 1, Informative

    I wouldn't call that crud pizza. Fake mozz? Hell, every pizzeria around here uses the real thing, whole-milk mozzarella.

    -uso.

  15. Re:LOL rednecks on Project Orca: How an IT Disaster Destroyed Republicans' Get-Out-The-Vote Effort · · Score: 1

    Used to live in a trailer park. Had Road Runner.

    -uso.

  16. Re:The best way to deal with this on Shakedowns To Fix Negative Online Reviews · · Score: 1

    I thought it was the Operating Thetan 3 notes, the Xenu story.

    -uso.

  17. We can only hope on MPAA Boss Admits SOPA and PIPA Are Dead, Not Coming Back · · Score: 1

    I highly doubt they're dead forever. They WILL be back, and more insidious than ever.

    -uso.

  18. Other than toy one-disk distros on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    Red Hat 8, Fedora 1, Debian 3.1, Ubuntu 5/10, Debian 4, Debian 5, Debian 6. I got a VPS with Debian 7.

    -uso.

  19. Re:Uh oh... on 4chan Undergoing Major Revision, Getting Public API · · Score: 0

    Slashdot is nerds, 4chan is geeks.

    -uso.

  20. Re:Boo frickin' Hoo on It's Easy To Steal Identities (Of Corporations) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'll accept that a corporation is people.

    I will not accept that a corporation is a person (of its own).

    There's a big difference there.

    -uso.

  21. My comments... on Comments On Code Comments? · · Score: 1

    I have a tendency to be terse with comments, but say enough to make it clear, if I don't feel the code does. Sometimes though, I add in a joke or pun (like, in AIRC, I have a comment "play the server game of ping-pong").

    -uso.

  22. Re:Why bother? on Photo Reveals UK Plan: "Assange To Be Arrested Under All Circumstances" · · Score: 2

    An ostensibly "of the people, by the people and for the people" government should have no fucking state secrets.

    -uso.

  23. Re:It probably won't make a difference, but... on AT&T Defends Controversial FaceTime Policy Following Widespread Backlash · · Score: 1

    It doesn't just run on Sprint's network... it IS Sprint.

    -uso.

  24. Re:Price fixing by camera makers push me there. on Prices Drive Australians To Grey Market For Hardware and Software · · Score: 1

    The difference between en_AU and en_GB is quite small, less even than the difference between en_US and en_CA. And Australia is where a lot of UK anime DVDs are mastered, because they're both PAL regions.

    -uso.

  25. Re:Here's the secret on Apple Comes Clean, Admits To Doing Market Research · · Score: 1

    So happens that more people I know have Androids like me, than have anything Apple. Hell, I'm the only person I know with an Apple anything, and it's a //e from 1987!

    -uso.
