  1. Re:Already exists on Windows 10 Adds Battery Saver Feature · · Score: 0

    Yup. Came here to post this exact thing

  2. Reads like an advert on New Single Board Computer Lets You Swap Out the CPU and Memory · · Score: 1

    one of the more blatant slahvertorials?

  3. Sources? on Lumia Phones Leaking Private Data To Microsoft · · Score: 2

    Seems a little light on actual proof there, even the source doesn't have a source for the magical "Lumia account closed as the user is a paedo" comment

  4. Except its all unclear still on Microsoft Paying for Positive Xbox One Coverage on YouTube · · Score: 2

    https://twitter.com/KyleOrl/st...

    Its still not really apparent what, if any, involvement MS actually had in this.

    The authors of the articles freely admit its an assumption

  5. Re:Rather than issue a security advisory.. on MS: Windows Phone 8 Wi-Fi Vulnerable, Cannot Be Patched · · Score: 1

    They just did, and It doesn't bother me.

    Panic over everyone!

  6. Yeah, such a credible source too.. on Xbox One Used Game Policy Leaks: Publishers Get a Cut of Sale · · Score: 1

    The source of all this is an email, from a guy, who spoke to someone who does something at a game store.

    Totally legit man, lets just take everything from here http://thexboxreveal.com/ as gospel too!

  7. Re:That phone has 2GB of RAM on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 1

    Also, my Nexus 7 certainly seems to download multiple files at once.

  8. Re:That phone has 2GB of RAM on Ask Slashdot: Getting Apps To Use Phones' Full Power? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    exactly what I was just about to say.

    The 16gb in your 16gb Nexus 4 is internal storage memory.

    It has 2gb of Ram

  9. Or just use OnLive? on Should Microsoft Put Office On the iPad? · · Score: 1

    Theres at least two companies, one http://desktop.onlive.com/ and another one called CloudON that offer this kind of functionality if its really needed.

    Having used the former its pretty decent and rather handy, but really I don't see the need to actually *have* Office on the iPad, the ability to use it briefly if needed is enough.

  10. Virgin do me nicely... on BT Promises 300Mbps FTTP By 2012 · · Score: 1

    30mb/3mb connection with Virgin. £27 a month with no need for a phone line or paying any form of "line rental" to BT, infact I dont even have a phone line in the building.

    Their trafic management policy is nicely listed here:
    http://shop.virginmedia.com/help/traffic-management/traffic-management-faster-uploads.html

    I get on average 33mb down and 3.1mb up according to speedtest.net if I manage to hit their cap in the evening (OnLive uses about 2.5gb per 30mins) then I get throttled down to 7.5mb which to be fair is way more than anyone round here gets on BT anyways.

    Its rarely down and always works nicely, problem for most people is down to their cable network not covering most places, if you're lucky enough to get it then get it...

  11. Qimo on Ask Slashdot: What OS For a Donated Computer? · · Score: 1

    Depending on the age of the kids involved I recommend QIMO

  12. Re:Talk to Tom Hudson on What Do I Do About My Ex-Employer Stealing My Free Code? · · Score: 5, Informative

    http://slashdot.org/~tomhudson/journal/

    Sadly I had to resort to Google as slashdot doesnt like searching itself...

    Journal enteries related to this are all a fair bit back in his Journal.

  13. Re:Okay... on Hackers Expose 26,000 Sex Website Passwords · · Score: 1

    Awesome!

  14. Re:Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    Very true, still we're a step up from the one button wonder we became in WOTLK!

  15. Re:Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    Not this season no, 2.2k back in S7 and S8. (Which admittedly is rather poor, but im a PVE hero)

    Like I said, different strokes for different folks, or classes, I doubt I even have 15 abilities of note, even with specific targetted clense macros and stuff :/

  16. Re:Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    I play WoW, and reasonably well :(

    My point was my mouse has 5 buttons and a wheel, with Ctrl, Alt and shift modifiers thats enough for me, I honestly dont think I have enough abilities to justify a squillion button mouse (L2P a non Paladin I guess), I guess my frugal mind looks at a 15 button mouse and thinks "Well I can do that with Modifiers and spend the ££s on food instead" rather than "Yay now I can avoid pressing modifiers OR bind 45 different things to my mouse hand!"

    Different strokes for different folks I guess, much like the afforementioned magical AV cables.

  17. Re:Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    I've got one with 2 thumb buttons etc.

    Its these bloody sideways keyboard things that the cool kids have that baffle me.

  18. Yeah... on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 1

    Gaming mice, bought and classed as the greatest thing ever by those same people that use gold plated martian ray proof AV cables!

    The extra buttons ones I guess serve a purpose if you are incapable of using modifiers or are some kind of Octopi

  19. Qimo on What To Load On a 4-Year-Old's Netbook? · · Score: 1

    My daughter (6) LOVES http://www.qimo4kids.com/

    Its really nice and can be ran self contained via USB

  20. Re:Also why are they doing it? on Wii Update 4.2 Tries (and Fails) To Block Homebrew · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between PAL and NSTC-U releases, its usually support for the extra languages needed for Europe, same applies to DVDs which is why frequently region 2 discs have a lot of extras removed compare to their region 1 versions, the space is needed for alternate audio/menus etc.

  21. Re:Reunite the Beatles! on Sex Pistols Reunite For Guitar Hero III · · Score: 4, Funny

    Even the "amazing powers of the cell processor" can't quite master Necromancy.

  22. Gap in the market! on Turned Off iPhone Gets $4800 Bill from AT&T · · Score: 5, Funny

    So when the phones "off" it communicates, and you can't kill it all together by removing the battery?........

    Coming soon to the iStore, the iCoffin, a lead lined box designed for when you need to take your phone out of the country, or near medical equipment.

    Be the envy of the Intensive Care ward with your small and portable iCoffin weighing only 1 tonne, marvel at its lead casing, lick its tasty exterior and be a role model for Chinese toy makers everywhere!
