  1. Re:No, they're replacing. on If Immigration Reform Is Dead, So Is Raising the H-1B Cap · · Score: 2

    No one who is alive was a part of that war. Neither side owe anyone anything.

  2. "Worth" $17-18 million on US To Auction 29,656 Bitcoins Seized From Silk Road · · Score: 1

    We'll see...

  3. Re:They can send a ping to the moon.... on Quad Lasers Deliver Fast, Earth-Based Internet To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Not saying its true or not, but I've went over for multiple months in a row and haven't heard a thing.

  4. Re:Start of a trend... on Haiku Gains Support For Current Radeon HD Cards · · Score: 1

    Monoculture is the death of innovation and invention.

  5. Re:They can send a ping to the moon.... on Quad Lasers Deliver Fast, Earth-Based Internet To the Moon · · Score: 1

    I just checked my Comcast and it states "not currently enforced".

  6. Re:They can send a ping to the moon.... on Quad Lasers Deliver Fast, Earth-Based Internet To the Moon · · Score: 1

    It's 300, not 30, and they aren't enforcing it.

  7. How about small engines? on Has the Ethanol Threat Manifested In the US? · · Score: 1

    I have a number of small engines ( 2 and 4 cycle). The local small-engine shop will cancel the warranty if you use anything but 100% gas. My Husqvarna chainsaw states, in the manual and in bold letters, to ONLY use 100% gas in the 2-cycle mix. It's out of warranty and for a while I tried e10. Ended up replacing all the lines and rebuilding the carburetor last summer.

    Luckily, there a several stations here that still still it.

  8. Re:Hysterical. on US May Prevent Chinese Hackers From Attending Def Con, Black Hat · · Score: 2

    Then we could stop buying goods from China and watch them collapse.

  9. Re:Clearly they've broken him and... on AT&T Hacker 'weev' Demands One Bitcoin For Each Hour He Spent In Jail · · Score: 1

    He did no such thing. He blew up a federal building, in a different state, full of people that had no connection at all to what happened there.

    He accomplished nothing.

  10. Re:Shitty summary on Chrome 35 Launches With New APIs and JavaScript Features · · Score: 1

    Er, three years.

  11. Re:Shitty summary on Chrome 35 Launches With New APIs and JavaScript Features · · Score: 1

    Firefox v4 - released 22 March 2011
    Firefox v29 - released 29 April 2014

    Two years and 27 versions. Hmmm..

  12. It has to happen sometime on Percentage of Elderly In Japan Continues to Grow as Number of Children Drops · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Economic policies based on an ever growing population are failed policies.

  13. Too easy... on New Cologne Answers the Question: "What Does a Bitcoin Smell Like?" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Desperation.

  14. Re:Um... on Richard Stallman Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    We're not talking about Microsoft, we're talking g about Stallman. I support him about as much as I support Balmer (which is zero). Acting like a ass because your enemy does not make you look any better.

    Fact is, he and Linus need to get off their fucking high-horse.

  15. Re:One way on Opting Out of Big Data Snooping: Harder Than It Looks · · Score: 3, Interesting

    First off, almost all of those places will give you the discount if you ask, even without the card.

    That said, I always use Jenny's Number (867-5309) in whatever area code I'm in. It's never failed to work.

  16. Re: Oh goody on SanDisk Announces 4TB SSD, Plans For 8TB Next Year · · Score: 0

    "Collective wisdom"? Is that slang for circle-jerking and fanboyism? That's all I really see.

  17. Re:secure from what? on Report: 99 Percent of New Mobile Threats Target Android · · Score: 1

    Android has just over 50% of the US marketshare, hardly "fallen so far".

  18. Re:hasn't the recent focus shifted... on Australian Exploration Company Believes It May Have Found MH370 Wreckage · · Score: 1

    It's on the seafloor now.

  19. Re:Of course he is on Anonymous's Latest Target: Boston Children's Hospital · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is, unfortunately, a hotbed of educated people with little common sense.

    As a side note, a DDOS attack is the lamest form of protest I can imagine.

  20. Re:Or foregoing kids altogether on Women Increasingly Freezing Their Eggs To Pursue Their Careers · · Score: 1

    Isn't it selfish to expect other people (yet to be born) to devote their lives to making sure we are OK at the end of ours?

  21. Re:We live like kings and queens already on SSD-HDD Price Gap Won't Go Away Anytime Soon · · Score: 1

    By "oh" you mean a few screws and 10 mins? Because that is how long to swap the HDD on my MBP.

  22. Re:The reason the Republicans are fighting against on The Amoeba That Eats Human Intestines, Cell By Cell · · Score: 1

    He isn't a leftist, he's a troll.

  23. Re:And yet they supported Obama on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 1

    Which is exactly what he should be doing. He represents the will of the people and if they want it, and he doesn't, he should support them not himself.

  24. Re:And yet they supported Obama on Was Eich a Threat To Mozilla's $1B Google "Trust Fund"? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Obama changed his mind, did Eich?

    Either way is has no bearing on this issue as it's a company that can do as they wish. If Google wanted to cut them off for it, it's their right. Mozilla would collapse without google.

  25. Re:Two drives not feasible for laptops on An SSD for Your Current Computer May Save the Cost of a New One (Video) · · Score: 1

    And now you have a stupid dongle sticking out the side. No.
