  1. Troll much? Firefox 57 (beta) is better than Chrome or Safari on Mac or Android

  2. Re: Don't upgrade from Jarvis to Krypton... on OpenELEC 8.0.4 Kodi-Focused Linux Distro Now Available (openelec.tv) · · Score: 1

    Don't recognise these problems with OSMC.tv on Pi 3.

  3. Re: Anyone tried it? on OpenELEC 8.0.4 Kodi-Focused Linux Distro Now Available (openelec.tv) · · Score: 1

    +1. OSMC works very well on my Pi 3 (must say I use default Kodi skin rather than OSMC one). It pretty much just works.

  4. Disinterested != !(Interested) on Older Android Wear Watches Will Miss Out On the v2.0 Update (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

  5. Raspberry pi wouldn't cut it on Ask Slashdot: Cheapest Functional Computer For Students? · · Score: 1

    Even a B+ can't render Web pages for mainstream sites fast enough. Would that this were not the case, but it can't, I've tried - at least Raspbian and Ubuntu Mate

    Move to a civilised country.

  7. Re: Darn! on Octopus Genome Sequenced · · Score: 1

    And USAmericans frequently have a rather different take on usage to [not than] Britishers

  8. SwiftKey on Finding an Optimal Keyboard Layout For Swype · · Score: 1

    SwiftKey is extremely fast, especially with Flow get has totally revolutionised smartphone usage for me.

    The cost savings is great

  10. Re:really? really. on Continued Rise In Autism Diagnoses Puzzles Researchers, Galvanizes Advocates · · Score: 1

    Actually, the article states about half of those diagnosed have average or above average intelligence.

    Statistically, half of any random sample of any population will have average or above average intelligence.

  11. Re:What about copy protection. on UK To Finally Legalize Ripping CDs and DVDs · · Score: 1

    It means that I've never watched a DVD on my laptop as all the ones I've tried have that shit and even with properly licensed DVD playing software and a DVD compliant drive, I can't watch it.

    I've never had a problem watching a DVD on a Mac. Not trolling, but there you are.

  12. Re:Messaging? on Facebook To Buy WhatsApp · · Score: 1

    Well, people in Europe still suffer from text messages costing money if sent across borders. Anachronistic with a culture that thrives more and more on international communication, but that needs some sort of fix.

    And WA was that fix. Dunno what I'll use now.

    People in the US pay to *receive* SMS. WRT current discussion - who cares, either pay trivial amount to send SMS, or pay trivial amount to via contact numerous media channels. Boring Disclaimer - I actually communicate with people (including many relatives) across the world electronically

  13. Re:There's no default title in a reply in slashdot on Fire Destroys Iron Mountain Data Warehouse, Argentina's Bank Records Lost · · Score: 1

    The comment threshold system is fundamentally broken.

    This is the part that kills me. As far as I can tell, there is no way to expand/view the parents or children of highly-moderated posts without viewing at -1, at which point the highly-moderated posts get lost in the noise. Lots of "Funny" replies where I can't even open the parent post to get the context of the joke.

    Maybe none of this really matters.

    tl;dr but I presume you thought it all looked better in monospace.

  15. Refractive index? on Coming Soon: Prescription Lenses For Google Glass · · Score: 1

    $99 isn't going to buy lenses which are useful to me.

  16. Baby on Putting a Panic Button In Smartphone Users' Hands · · Score: 1

    No one here have/had a baby? That button would be getting pressed a lot.
