  1. Re:*drool* on Intel's Haswell-E Desktop CPU Debuts With Eight Cores, DDR4 Memory · · Score: 2

    You're not the only one. Im chugging along with a c2d from 2008. I can get at least another three years out of this, if not more. Speed brings nothing to table in personal computing anymore (outside of gaming and i'm not and have been a gamer).

  2. Re:No question, really? on California DMV Told Google Cars Still Need Steering Wheels · · Score: 1

    There is no "american driving test". It varies from state to state.

  3. Re:Sigh on News Aggregator Fark Adds Misogyny Ban · · Score: 1

    That was happening many years before the beta thing, champ

    That's true. I have a 5-digit I can't use anymore due to a dead email address. Oh well.

    They did leave. That's why current posters have an virtual orgasm when someone with a 5 digit, or dear god 4 or 3 digit, uid posts. They moved on.

  5. Re:uh-huh on Why Chinese Hackers Would Want US Hospital Patient Data · · Score: 1

    What the insurance gets billed and what they pay is rarely close. If they get billed $1,000,000 for a transplant, they might pay $250,000.

  6. Re:science and religion agree! on No, a Huge Asteroid Is Not "Set To Wipe Out Life On Earth In 2880" · · Score: 2

    Good deal. That means we can ignore this!

  7. Re:hilarious on Are Altcoins Undermining Bitcoin's Credibility? · · Score: 1

    I know that. You asked who the main investor was, not who it was owned by.

  8. Re:...because they can. on Are Altcoins Undermining Bitcoin's Credibility? · · Score: 1

    Sure. You can print/mint any currency you want, as long as it's not meant to pose as federal reserve currency. There is nothing illegal about it.

  9. Re:how meany people are useing Bitcoin just to pla on Are Altcoins Undermining Bitcoin's Credibility? · · Score: 1

    No one, unless they are buying stocks.

    1. The United States federal government.

    That's good enough for me.

    The definition of marketing:

      noun
    the action or business of promoting and selling products or services, including market research and advertising.

    I don't see the word bullshit, or any synonym of it. Therefore it is not "by definition".

  12. Re:3dTV is a flop? on Is Dolby Atmos a Flop For Home Theater Like 3DTV Was? · · Score: 2

    Because it's another notch I the feature list that no one uses, or cares about.

    That said, I have a sixty inch I just bought that doesn't have 3D.

  13. Re:In London, Lyft/Uber are intelligence tests. on The Fiercest Rivalry In Tech: Uber vs. Lyft · · Score: 1

    Why troll? This is absolutely correct.

  14. Re:Meanwhile the general public in London... on Wikipedia Gets Critical Reception from UK Press at Wikimania 2014 · · Score: 1

    That's nice.

    Wikipedia is not news and news outlets are not an encyclopedia. They aren't related and can't be compared.

  15. War-Driving? on Connected Collar Lets Your Cat Do the War-Driving · · Score: 1

    Welcome to 2002.

  16. Re:Ars Technica has on NASA Releases Footage of "Flying Saucer" Braking Test, Declares Success · · Score: 1

    Slashdotting doesn't really happen anymore.

  17. Re:that's some expensive laughtrack on Big Bang Actors To Earn $1M Per Episode · · Score: 1

    I've seen the show in person, there are indeed people there laughing. It's no secret there are paid people mixed into the crowd to get them going. Very few sitcoms use laugh tracks, they use professional audience members.

  18. Re:Why? on Georgia Tech Researchers Jailbreak iOS 7.1.2 · · Score: 1

    I know the DirecTV app won't run. I've ran across a game as well.

  19. Re:In the USA people don't pay for phones on Lots Of People Really Want Slideout-Keyboard Phones: Where Are They? · · Score: 1

    Two year contracts are on the way out. AT&T is in the process of ditching them, T-mobile already has. Verizon won't be far behind.

  20. Re:But... on Amazon Fire Phone Reviews: Solid But Overly Ambitious · · Score: 0, Troll

    from what I've read on /.

    You've already failed. This site is as unbiased as Fox News.

  21. Re:News for Nerds you say? on Exhibit On Real Johnny Appleseed To Hit the Road · · Score: 1

    Better than the repetitive Android/Apple shit that gets posted over and over again.

    Guy Fawkes, but you're correct.

    In my lab, we call them scientists (or chemist, biologist, etc).

    Fire TV is a set-top box.
