  1. Grab the popcorn! on Facebook Buying Oculus VR For $2 Billion · · Score: 5, Funny

    I don't care about Facebook or the oculus rift, but the shitstorm that is about to drop will be worth a watch!

  2. Re:DDR4? on Intel Announced 8-Core CPUs And Iris Pro Graphics for Desktop Chips · · Score: 1

    "Enthusiast mobos" - anything on the front page of Newegg.

  3. Re:Irresponsible or what? on Transhumanist Children's Book Argues, "Death Is Wrong" · · Score: 1

    Every single time, somebody has to bring out this old tired argument.

    Again, there a simpler solution, less reproduction. There is no need to cull the living.

  4. Re:Pretty easy. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Prepare For the Theft of My Android Phone? · · Score: 5, Informative

    You can use an alphanumeric password on iOS. You do t have to use a 4-digit pin.

  5. Re:Romans on 3D Maps Reveal a Lead-Laced Ocean · · Score: 1

    The only common and modern lead items I that I can think of are fishing sinkers, car batteries and tire balancing weights. I've seen electronic devices with lead to give weight.

  6. Re:Denommus on Interview: Ask Richard Stallman What You Will · · Score: 0

    I don't care if he is the founder of modern civilization. His holier-than-thou, my wayor the highway attitude leaves with me with a bad taste. I have little respect for the man.

  7. Re:So? on Ghostwriter Reveals the Secret Life of WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We should be more interested in WikiLeaks and their info/message, not the blonde guy at the top.

  8. Re:Why NOT WhatsApp on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    You don't have to re-verify every time you swap your sim. Only if you change devices. Your number doesn't have to match that of your sim.

  9. Re:The Internet cannot be shut down. on Internet Shutdown Adds To Venezuela's Woes · · Score: 1

    How do you route around damage if you have one way in and one way out?

  10. Re:Why Prime? on Price of Amazon Prime May Jump To $119 a Year · · Score: 1

    Better than Netflix? I have both and I think Prime video is TERRIBLE. Everything I want to watch is a rental, which I don't need prime for.

  11. Re:Out of touch on Facebook Puts 10,000 Blu-ray Discs In Low-Power Storage System · · Score: 1

    Here they are at 50 cents/disc.

  12. Re:Oh, Frack on Midwestern Fault Zones Are Still Alive · · Score: 1

    No, it's not on the new Madrid fault, it is on the wabash valley fault, which is somehow related, or so I read.

  13. Re:Oh, Frack on Midwestern Fault Zones Are Still Alive · · Score: 2

    I lived in Indiana in 2008 when the 5.4 earthquake happened. It was in the wabash seismic area and there was no fraking going on at the time.

    Same with the Virginia earthquake. Again, no fraking was happening any where near a fault.

  14. Re:We have one of those already. on CmdrTaco Launches Trove, a Curated News Startup · · Score: 5, Funny

    If it has less BitCoin articles, I'll take it.

  15. Re:So the USA is all libertard? on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 1

    No. Everything is a right, until you are told, or a law is made, against something.

  16. Re:Cry me a fucking river... on Man Jailed For Refusing To Reveal USB Password · · Score: 3, Informative

    There is no 5th amendment by in the UK.

  17. Re:The cost. And the cost! on LulzSec's Sabu To Be Sentenced In New York · · Score: 2

    The legally can since he agreed to be an informant. If he told them to piss off, the case would have been over months ago.

  18. Re:A blow to vegetarians on Extinct Species of Early Human Survived On Grass Bulbs, Not Meat · · Score: 2

    Most vegetarians know about rennet in cheese. I always check the label.

  19. Re:A blow to vegetarians on Extinct Species of Early Human Survived On Grass Bulbs, Not Meat · · Score: 4, Interesting

    True. My girlfriend is vegan and she takes B12 supplements, which is fine by me. The way I see it, it's much more environmentally friendly to produce a B12 tablet then it is to grow, slaughter and cook an animal.

  20. Re:A blow to vegetarians on Extinct Species of Early Human Survived On Grass Bulbs, Not Meat · · Score: 1

    B12 is available in eggs, milk and cheese. I'm a vegetarian, take no supplements and am not deficient.

  21. Re:What's the difference? on Valve's Steam Machines Are More About Safeguarding PCs Than Killing Consoles · · Score: 1

    You have video cards that cost twice as much but aren't really needed. You can get by just fine on something much, much, cheaper and still play nearly every game available.

    Video cards are a penis compensator.

  22. Re:Current PCs are good enough. on PC Shipments In 2013 See the Worst Yearly Decline In History · · Score: 1

    I'm still using mine from 2008. An upgrade isn't even on my radar.

  23. Re:Still running my WRT54GL with Tomato on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1

    I've been looking at that router, but haven't pulled the trigger yet. I don't have any wireless APs near me (I can only detect my own) so 2.4ghz is fine.

  24. Re:ENOUGH. OF. THE. BITCOIN. on A Rebuttal To Charles Stross About Bitcoin · · Score: 0

    Bitcoin is the most amazing thing happening in the world today.

    It's mildly interesting, at best. Virtually anything you can think of more amazing.

    Wow, a new currency. Yawn.

  25. Re:Still running my WRT54GL with Tomato on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 1

    My (and only available) internet speed is 3/384 no NAT speed doesn't matter. I don't transfer data over wireless enough to matter, so wireless speed isn't an issue. I have a Roku, laptop and phone, and none of those have any problems.
