  1. Writing data on Intel Rolling Out 800Gbps Cables This Year · · Score: 1

    I'll be impressed when we can write data this fast, not when we can transfer it

  2. Re:When you're work is puzzle solving... on IEEE Predicts 85% of Daily Tasks Will Be Games By 2020 · · Score: 1

    Too late, I just did.

  3. Re:My personal theory on getting people to do stuf on IEEE Predicts 85% of Daily Tasks Will Be Games By 2020 · · Score: 1

    To get someone to do something, it must be all three of these things: 1) Simple 2) Engaging 3) Rewarding

    Tell that to all the programmers of the world. We only require the last two.

  4. Re:Why not... on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    What power of the gods is forcing your hand to purchase a Keurig?

  5. Re:Why? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    We have drip pot coffee (ugh), a Keurig, a stove, and an electric tea kettle here so I really have no excuse. I was just thinking about bringing in a press the other day, but I feel as if some people would take my grinds out of the freezer. I don't want to share.

  6. Facebook on Popularity On Facebook Makes People Think You're Attractive · · Score: 1

    What's the consensus of the people that don't use facebook?

  7. New method of attack against consumers on Second Federal 'Kill-switch' Bill Introduced Targeting Smartphone Theft · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think it's more realistic that poor security measures will be set in place, thereby making it easy for malicious crackers to disable peoples phones remotely.

  8. Radiohead on How An Astronaut Nearly Drowned During a Space Walk · · Score: 1

    Isn't there a radiohead video about this? Yep http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

  9. There just isn't the bandwidth yet on The Tiny Console Killers Taking On the PS4 and Xbox 720 · · Score: 1

    Maybe when the standard has become 10mb/sec download/uploads this could be a reality. Until that point, I'm going to go ahead and say the XBOX 720 and PS4 will come out and have a traditional console life. The following iteration of consoles will probably have something to fear.

  10. VMware is very easy on Ask Slashdot: Which Virtual Machine Software For a Beginner? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I honestly just used VMware for the first time today but it was very easy to use and booted up in seconds. You can add virtual drives with a click and if you are anywhere familiar with the operating system you are attempting to emulate, I'd say it's a safe bet. Maybe the community can offer a few free options for you to try out as well.

  11. Re:Could be a honeypot on Ask Slashdot: Is TSA's PreCheck System Easy To Game? · · Score: 1

    Please don't give them any ideas to increase their budget

  12. Makes perfect sense to me on Icons That Don't Make Sense Anymore · · Score: 3

    The person that wrote this acts as if no one under 30 has ever seen any of these objects; to say so is completely ludicrous. I'm 28 and I have used floppy discs since I was 7, I've spoken on a telephone (over a cellphone) for most of my life, I've driven an older car with radio buttons, and I read books and like to keep my place. To assume anyone under 30 doesn't use tools, remember when polaroid went out of business, or owned a calendar is completely ignorant. Does everyone over 30 automatically have specific knowledge of these things? Does this make everyone under 30 completely ignorant to anything produced prior to the 1990s? Fuck off.
