  1. Can they please make a bigger one? on Samsung Unveils 256GB MicroSD Card, Highest Capacity In Its Class (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I do crapcan endurance racing, the longest race we've run is 36 hours straight. Not having to fiddle with a camera to swap a SD card when you're sleep deprived would be awesome.

  2. I race in the 24 hours of LeMons on Ask Slashdot: Your Most Unusual Hardware Hack? · · Score: 1

    Everything I do is a hack.

  3. Re:touch does not belong in cars! on GM To Offer Apple CarPlay and Android Auto API In Most 2016 Vehicles · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or you use the volume control within reach of your thumb and not reach for the radio at all, thereby keeping that hand on the steering wheel and improving your overall control.

    Put down my burger and phone? NEVER!

  4. Do know what the saddest part is? on Linux/Moose Worm Targets Routers, Modems, and Embedded Systems · · Score: 1

    Thar worm code is better documented then anything I've ever worked on.

  5. Re:This again? on New Test Supports NASA's Controversial EM Drive · · Score: 4, Funny

    On the actual surface of Alpha Centauri? Probably not.

  6. Did they add Brief emulation? on Microsoft Releases Visual Studio Code Preview For Linux, OS X, and Windows · · Score: 1

    That was the only reason to use VisualStudo's editor a bunch of years ago.

  7. Re:Samsung may be devious.... on Ericsson Seeks US Import Ban On Samsung Products · · Score: 1

    Samsung had a license for these patents but it has expired. Ericsson wants to significantly raise the license cost this time around and Samsung objects.

  8. Re:Apartheid on Saudi Arabia Implements Electronic Tracking System For Women · · Score: -1, Troll

    'Spiritually' is crap as well. It's a know-nothing version of religion.

  9. Re:Cue the 1st amendment nuts on Ex-Marine Detained For Facebook Posts Deemed "Terrorist in Nature" · · Score: 1

    Here it comes. "B .. b ... but anyone should be free to say anything any time" in 5 - 4 - 3 - 2 - 1...

    You are. You are also responsible for the repercussions.

  10. Re:Dreamcast = worst console ever. on ScummVM 1.5.0 'Picnic Basket' Released · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's hardly new. Most GameCube games supported progressive scan. Hold down the B button on boot.

  11. Re:The change of pace on What's Next For Superhero Movies? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about that. The first Mortal Kombat movie was entertainingly funny.

  12. Re:Event Horizon of the Affordable Care Act on University Sues Student For Graduating Early · · Score: 1

    What it means is that medical care is going to get more expensive so the insurer's 20% is bigger.

    Here in the Pacific North West it's been raining so much I have mushrooms growing on my lawn. In July!

  14. Why do users pin? on Why Microsoft Killed the Windows Start Button · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Users pin apps to the taskbar because the UI for launching apps sucks. Long ago (Win2K) I would make my own folders at the root level in the start menu and group apps in a way that made sense. Win 7 broke my ability to do that without pinning. If Microsoft stopped breaking things that worked well for users they might have more time to 'innovate' actual improvements.

  15. Re:Uh oh on New Manufacturing Technology Enables Vertical 3D Transistors · · Score: 1

    Well, if you an afford one of these I see no reason you can't buy one fro your Mom's basement.

  17. Re:It has nothing to do with global warming on U.S. East Coast a Hotspot of Sea-Level Rise · · Score: 4, Informative

    The other things that people don't understand is that the original 'New Orleans' city was build ABOVE sea level. The French Quarter is almost 20ft above sea level. It just all the newer development from the last century is in a shitty location. Below sea level shouldn't be rebuilt and the stuff above sea level wasn't flooded much.

  18. Do not want... on Sandia's Floating, Dust-Free, Spinning Heatsink · · Score: 1

    'Just' 2000 rpm? So it'll sound like a hair dryer. No thanks, I'll keep my 450 rpm silent CPU fan.

  19. Re:I'm waiting on Web 3.1 on Book Review: Digital Vertigo · · Score: 1

    Web 3.0 with the error checking turned off?

  20. Re:Awesome on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    Hell, I saw Prometheus last week and I saw pixels at a regular theater. Movies theaters need to be better then bluray.

  21. Ha! on Fox News Ties 'Flame' Malware To Angry Birds · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Anything that helps kill LUA is OK with me.

  22. Won't do anything unless the speed has dropped more then a third from what I'm paying for. Ask your provide what their policy is, they might surprise you. Ha Ha, just kidding.

    It's in use, currently broadcasting TV.

  24. Re:Seems typical, actually. on Yahoo Board Director Patti Hart Stepping Down Over Thompson Scandal · · Score: 1

    That damn CEO should be fired with cause just like any one else in the company that lied on their resume. It's a standard HR clause that says you can and will be fired for lying on your application.

  25. Re:Whither Tesla? on Auto Makers Announce Electric Car Charging Standard · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's too late. All the Japanese manufacturers standardized on CHAdeMO for charging.
