  1. Still running my WRT54GL with Tomato on Linksys Resurrects WRT54G In a New Router · · Score: 3, Informative

    Bought it in 2004 or 2005 and am still using at my main, and only router. Thought about upgrading but I still haven't found a reason to.

  2. Re:Painful cold on Polar Vortex Sends Life-Threatening Freeze To US · · Score: 1

    I lived in southern Indiana in 1994 when it dropped to -30F. It's going to be -10 this time.

    So yes, I'm under 40 and I've seen it before.

  3. Re:Nope on University Developing Technology To Vote On Your Tablet, Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Millions? Not likely, but on the local level, it's possible. For small elections that is enough to tip the scale. My father won a county election several years ago by one vote.

  4. Nope on University Developing Technology To Vote On Your Tablet, Smartphone · · Score: 5, Informative

    As long as there is the ability for someone to stand behind you and make sure vote a certain way, I won't support it. No one knows how I vote when I step into a voting booth.

  5. Re:Waste of Time on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 1

    There is a significant portion of christians that doesn't take the bible literally.

  6. Re:last days of broadcast tv on ABC Kills Next-Day Streaming For Non-Subscribers · · Score: 1

    Because it requires having a desktop computer that runs all the damn time. I've converted over to laptops and don't bother with towers anymore.

  7. Just have a couple on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Books Everyone Should Read? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Michael Pollan - The Omnivore's Dilemma
    Christopher McDougall - Born to Run

  8. Re:Slashdotted on Partially Censored Database From Snapchat Intrusion Released · · Score: 0

    You're right, Slashdot only has 14.

    Seriously, though, Slashdot hasn't had the user base to Slashdot anything for several years.

  9. Re:Totalitarian Business Model for Totalitarians on Apple Denies Helping NSA Subvert iPhone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's not even in the same ballpark. Likening a the idea of a company checking out apps before you install them is nothing like having a government entity, with no accountability, recoding you every time you take a shit.

    Get real.

  10. The hands down winner on The Year's Dumbest Moments in Tech · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. Re:In the moment!? on A Year With Google Glass · · Score: 1

    Here is a Robin Williams movie along that line:

  12. Re:Hurr durr on Apple's New Mac Pro Gets High Repairability Score · · Score: 1

    No shit. Use what you want and don't worry about who is winning and what somebody else is running.

  13. Re:That's what you get on USB Sticks Used In Robbery of ATMs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    My bank still uses os/2 on their ATMs.

  14. Re:UHH on Millions of Dogecoin Stolen Over Christmas · · Score: 1

    I pay with cash at local businesses for that reason, but big chains? Who cares.

  15. Re:UHH on Millions of Dogecoin Stolen Over Christmas · · Score: 2

    That's nice. I don't pay interest charges on credit cards, ever, and the store charges the same price card or cash.

  16. Re:UHH on Millions of Dogecoin Stolen Over Christmas · · Score: 2

    I had a fraudulent charge appear on my card this month for $600. Guess how much i'm out, zero. Got my replacement card in two days.

  17. Re:Huh... on Tesla Updates Model S Software As a Precaution Against Unsafe Charging · · Score: 0

    Shut up.

  18. Don't get it on U.S. Mobile Internet Traffic Nearly Doubled This Year · · Score: 1

    I've had an unlimited data plan since the iPhone 3G and I've yet to break 1gb/month. I travel a lot and use google maps often, so I don't know.

    No streaming video; maybe that's it,

  19. Answer your own question, Slashdot! on Ask Slashdot: Why Do Mobile Versions of Websites Suck? · · Score: 5, Informative

    The mobile version of Slashdot sucks hard.

  20. Re:It works on Evad3rs Announce iOS 7 Jailbreak For Latest Apple Devices · · Score: 1

    I've been using tetherme since the iPhone 3G and they have never sent me "the letter".

  21. Re:3Mbps?!?? on Ask Slashdot: Managing Device-Upgrade Bandwidth Use? · · Score: 1

    I watch Netflix on a 3Mbit connection with no problem. That said, I have a standard-def TV.

  22. Re:Musk's Hubris... on Tesla Says Garage Fire Not Charger's Fault; Firemen Less Sure · · Score: 2

    Aluminum wire, before it was phased out, was front page news on every newspaper on the country and the first story the nightly news. It was, and is, a well known problem.

  23. Re:Umm, okay, but... on Free Software Foundation Endorses a "Truly Free" Laptop · · Score: 1

    There are very, very few who are the audience for this laptop.

  24. Re:4chan worthless? on Bitcoin Exchange Value Halves After Chinese Ban · · Score: 1

    Slashdit had its hayday, 4chan never did. Anonymous likes to think they had an impact, but they never did.

  25. Re:and yet dogecoin trends upwards! on Bitcoin Exchange Value Halves After Chinese Ban · · Score: 1

    Not the members of 4chan. Arguably the most worthless site on the internet.
