  1. Re:I wish I bought btc when it was $1 on Winklevoss Twins Get Closer To Launching Their Bitcoin Exchange · · Score: 1

    I see it the other way, wait a few months (maybe a year) and it will be down to a dollar again.

  2. Re:Potholes? on Plastic Roads Sound Like a Crazy Idea, Maybe Aren't · · Score: 1

    Potholes also form when the road cracks and water gets in, then freezes. The asphalt, on concrete, buckles slightly then a snow plow catches it and rips a chunk out of the road.

    Here, all the potholes appear after a heavy snow.

  3. Re:No Free Speech on Reddit CEO: Site Is 'Not a Bastion of Free Speech,' Change Coming · · Score: 5, Informative

    Then you haven't been to reddit. What you are asking for has NEVER been the way that site works.

  4. Re:Cost is not the issue on Ask Slashdot: If Public Transport Was Free, Would You Leave Your Car At Home? · · Score: 1

    The average age of a personal car in the US is over 11 years. Doesn't sound like a new shiny to me.

  5. Re:Advanced users do not use Apple products on How Apple Music Can Disrupt Users' iTunes Libraries · · Score: 1

    It's only streamed if you use a steaming service. My collection is all mp3, and yes, managed by iTunes.

  6. Re:Advanced users do not use Apple products on How Apple Music Can Disrupt Users' iTunes Libraries · · Score: 1

    Don't know what the hell you are talking about. I have an iPhone and nothing is streamed. Any music I listen is stored on the device.

  7. Re:Dents, chips... on Turing Near Ready To Ship World's First Liquid Metal Android Smartphone · · Score: 2

    Don't be that jackass. Shit happens.

    I drop my phone all the time because I can be a klutz, therefor a use a case.

  8. Re:I'm a SlashDot reader + pay-as-you-go customer on TracFone Finally Agrees To Allow Phone Unlocking · · Score: 1

    I moved from a 20gb AT&T plan to Cricket's $35 for 2.5gb plan. Couldn't be happier. I've ran over my data allotment just once in over a year and even then, it was just slowed and still usable.

  9. Re:Wrong question. on When Will Your Hard Drive Fail? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Dropbox lets you retrieve previous versions for up to 30 days.

  10. Re:Throttling phone plans vs Net Neutrality on Sprint Begins Punishing Customers For FCC's Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Manning is a real hero. He stayed and is serving time for it. I think he should be freed, but he was willing to pay the price.

    I bet, having known what the cost would be, (s)he would have still done it.

  11. Re:Throttling phone plans vs Net Neutrality on Sprint Begins Punishing Customers For FCC's Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    No need to pay me. Real heros are willing to die for their beliefs. They don't run away.

  12. Re:Throttling phone plans vs Net Neutrality on Sprint Begins Punishing Customers For FCC's Net Neutrality Rules · · Score: 1

    Nobody pays anyone to post on slashdot. This site doesn't have the influence or readership to matter anymore.

  13. Re:Mostly because our food is shit. on CDC: Americans Getting Heavier, Average Woman Weighs As Much As 1960s Man · · Score: 2

    It counts as a sugar. Stop eating anything that has added sweeter, whether it sugar, corn syrup, aspartame, splenda, etc. It doesn't matter.

  14. Re:After reading the first dozen questions... on Interviews: Ask Kim Dotcom a Question · · Score: 1

    His problem is with getting caught. It's sad that no one remembers that lying thieving bastard he was known to be just a few years ago. Forget about him claiming to hack Bin Laden?

    He's opportunistic. He's anti-govenement, copyright stance is nothing but ruse to gather people to his side and to make him more money.

  15. One laptop on Ask Slashdot: What Hardware Is In Your Primary Computer? · · Score: 1

    2012 MacBook Pro with an i7 and 8gb ram. Only computer I have. I simply have no interest in babysitting a bunch of garbage.

  16. Re:Yet another proprietary API... on WWDC 2015 Roundup · · Score: 1

    Games =/= graphics. Some of my favorite games have little no advanced graphics. I simply don't care.

  17. Re:After reading the first dozen questions... on Interviews: Ask Kim Dotcom a Question · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's an embarrassment to have a ask Slashdot featuring Kim Dotcom.

  18. Re:call me skeptical on FBI Alleges Security Researcher Tampered With a Plane's Flight Control Systems · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    It's idiot, not id10t. Take the leet crap elsewhere.

  19. As little as possible on Ask Slashdot: What's On Your Keychain? · · Score: 1

    Car key, car remote and house key. Who wants to carry around a bunch of other crap?

  20. Re:Meanwhile on Turtle Receives First-Ever 3D Printed Titanium Jaw Implant of Its Kind · · Score: 1

    There is no longer any built-in systems. Wolf and bear have been virtually eliminated from Indiana.

  21. Re:Usual answer to a headline question on Does Using an AOL Email Address Suggest You're a Tech Dinosaur? · · Score: 1

    AOL was the only company that had local dial-up numbers in the 90's for me.

  22. Re:It was an app on a WORK-Issued Phone! on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 2

    Page 3, line 26 and 27 and page 4, line 1 of the legal filing.

  23. Re:It was an app on a WORK-Issued Phone! on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article spells out that she was required to have the phone on her 24/7 as a condition of employment.

  24. Re:How much does this cost taxpayers? on FAA: Big Tech Challenges For Massive Washington, DC Warbirds Flyover · · Score: 1, Redundant

    No one "wonders why"; we know exactly why. Years upon years of war and unfunded securities.

  25. Re:Backup Generator replacement? Not so much on Tesla's Household Battery: Costs, Prices, and Tradeoffs · · Score: 1

    It doesn't when your panels are under twelve inches snow and and a couple inches of ice, which is when I tend to lose power.
