  1. Re:I installed it on Data From Windows 10 Feedback Tool Exposes Problem Areas · · Score: 1
    After I installed ClassicShell, 8 became my absolute favorite version of Windows ever. Which I guess means the only problem with it was the missing Start Menu.

    Though I did recently discover that there is a major flaw in Xinput/DirectInput in 8.1 that breaks Xbox 360 controller compatibility in some of my games. I'm having a hard time dealing with that bit of absurdity.

  2. Print Pooler? on Journalists Route Around White House Press Office · · Score: 1

    Is that like a spooler? Who's managing the queue?

  3. What the hell Greenpeace? on Lego Ends Shell Partnership Under Greenpeace Pressure · · Score: 1

    Why drag Lego into it? Why the hell are you being such a bag of d-cks?

  4. Raise your hand on Man Walks Past Security Screening Staring At iPad, Causing Airport Evacuation · · Score: 1

    if this could have been you.

  5. BULL! on Nvidia Sinks Moon Landing Hoax Using Virtual Light · · Score: 1

    The moon is a hoax!

  6. This is going to be awkward... on The UPS Store Will 3-D Print Stuff For You · · Score: 0
    That poor person at the register is going to have to look me right in the face when I pick up those printed replicas of my penis.

    Gosh, I wonder if I'll be able to get it scanned right there? That would be HOT!

  7. Re:I LOVE READING PROPAGANDA on ISIS Bans Math and Social Studies For Children · · Score: 2
    Given that the root causes can not be addressed (we aren't time travelers), and that allowing the situation to play out as you propose will necessarily result in the deaths of millions, it would be unacceptably inhumane to do so.

    We have to deal with the situation at hand. Bemoaning its causes is unproductive. We have the capability to change the outcome of the current situation so as to prevent a century of secular infighting and the countless deaths that will result.

  8. If I wanted to on The Growing Illusion of Single Player Gaming · · Score: 1

    spend time with other people, I wouldn't be playing video games.

  9. Plus, in the ads on Early Reviews of Destiny: Unfulfilled Potential · · Score: 1

    it looks like Mass Effect. I thought the commercials were for a new ME game, because they looked so much like a Quarian and a Turian out with a human.

  10. I've been looking for something like this!!! on Turning the Tables On "Phone Tech Support" Scammers · · Score: 1

    I get those calls surprisingly often (I'm IT support already), and as fun as it is to keep them on the line as they try and guide me to the download (which I do with Lynx), fighting back would be so much more fun!

  11. Hey Microsoft!! on Microsoft Paid NFL $400 Million To Use Surface, But Announcers Call Them iPads · · Score: 3, Funny
    I will let you equip my organization with Surfaces for only $20. Our brand has developed a strong customer following and the products we use have a great influence on the purchasing decisions of our clients.

    Granted, my organization may look like a household, but that's just a clever marketing tactic.

    We will need three tablets at first to equip our executive staff (myself and my girlfriend) and our lead associate (her daughter), though our affiliates (extended family) may require them in the future.

  12. Just because its called the Sea of China on China's Island Factory · · Score: 1

    doesn't mean China owns it! They have, I shit you not, claimed the entire South sea, right up to the beaches of their neighbors.

  13. Re:US should stay out of Asia on China's Island Factory · · Score: 1
    Because we have close allies in the area. Nations with whom we have defence treaties, and China is trying to claim their territory.

    Here's a map of what the UN says the borders are, and what China says they are http://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media...

    The Philippines and Taiwan are under our protection, and China is trying to steal their territorial waters. We do business with everyone else.

    Long story short, we have many interests in the region and can't allow China's reckless sea-grab to make a mess of it all.

  14. Are we finally going to on How Astrophysicists Hope To Turn the Entire Moon Into a Cosmic Ray Detector · · Score: 1

    Chrome the Moon?

  15. I thought on AT&T Says 10Mbps Is Too Fast For "Broadband," 4Mbps Is Enough · · Score: 1

    broadband was anything over 56kbps dial-up.

  16. Re:still using google ?!?! on Google Serves Old Search Page To Old Browsers · · Score: 1

    I heard there were two!

  17. Gosh things move fast on Google Serves Old Search Page To Old Browsers · · Score: 1

    I love how the "outdated" page lacking "modern features" is from all the way back in the stone-ages of last year.

  18. This is big. on NATO Set To Ratify Joint Defense For Cyberattacks · · Score: 1
    This puts NATO and China directly at odds. I'm surprised that everyone seems to be missing how important that is in favor of pseudo-political drivel.

    Hopefully, it will encourage China to curtail their current activities. I know I'm sick of all the Chinese IP's bouncing packets off my company's firewalls.

  19. What they're trying to do on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1
    is force residential customers to pay for business service. Complain about the cap, and they'll try to sell you on it.

    And as people "in the know", I think we can all call bullshit on them when they say streaming video uses too much bandwidth. Netflix streams H.264, TV streams are uncompressed MPEG-2. If you watch Netflix, you're using less bandwidth than if you were watching Fox.

  20. Re:what about meter certification? on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1

    They'll include it towards your cap.

  21. Comcast is on Comcast Tells Government That Its Data Caps Aren't Actually "Data Caps" · · Score: 1
    bastards.

    I signed up with them, asking directly if there was a cap. They said, "no". Five months later, I got an email announcing the good news that the cap would be raised to 300gigs/month from 250. (I doubled that the first week I had service)

    So I called them. They said the cap had always been there, but they hadn't been enforcing it. I made several suggestions involving the rectal insertion of a chainsaw. Something I have done again several times.

  22. Oh crap. on Rightscorp's New Plan: Hijack Browsers Until Infingers Pay Up · · Score: 1

    Rightscorp was harassing me for a time because my phone number once belonged to an Army Sgt. who, apparently, violated a copyright. I shudder to think what could happen to other innocents.

  23. But without on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    HELIOS One, the NCR would have to rely entirely on the contested dam for power!

  24. I'm so glad on The Billion-Dollar Website · · Score: 2

    I don't work for a company that made the mistake of getting involved in that nightmare.

  25. Re:No, school should not be year-round. on Slashdot Asks: Should Schooling Be Year-Round? · · Score: 1

    "Summer Vacation" only exists so that kids could work on the family farm. So, not only is the reason for it extinct, it was never about "letting kids be kids".
