    I've never used Flashblock.

    I removed Flash from my system.

  2. Re:Let me get this straight on Facebook's Auto-Play Videos Chew Up Expensive Data Plans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Data plans have an immediate cost at the end of the month.

    This thing left Earth space six hours ago!

    So... we're safe?

    You know about USB flash drives, right?

    What about eBay? You could probably even find new old stock.

    I still use the wheel.
    I know it's been a round for a while but it still works for me.

    I see what you did there.

  7. Re:4 by 3 computer monitors & TVs on Ask Slashdot: What Old Technology Can't You Give Up? · · Score: 1

    So, do you prefer to watch your movies with a smaller picture with horizontal black bars at the top and bottom, zoomed in with the side effect of losing both sides of the movie or just stretched vertically to fill your 4:3 display?

    There's a reason for 16:9 TVs.

    For computer monitors, though, I can't say a word as I'm writing this comment on a computer equipped with a 17" LCD monitor.

    Eye dont now wat ur talkin a bout.

    Those screen touch stuff is for the flappy/angry bird !!

  12. Ask them on Ask Slashdot: Best Service To Digitize VHS Home Movies? · · Score: 3, Informative

    If one of the service offers QuickTime Pro-Res, they can probably also offer QuickTime Animation instead. Just ask them.

    All you need is this little kit.

    Most of the planet does, it's not our fault you're still using a measuring system that seems designed for little children.

  18. Re:Circular LCDs on Moto 360 Reviews Arrive · · Score: 1

    Why the fuck shoud we design a wearable computer with a round screen ? It simply makes no sense at all.

    Would you prefer triangular or hexagonal screens?

  20. 4.5 watts is still way too much on Intel Discloses Core M Broadwell Speeds, Feeds and Performance Expectations · · Score: 1

    The bookBook requires a lot less than that.

  21. Re:Pilot program alright on NYPD Starts Body Camera Pilot Program · · Score: 1

    Yeah but Canada is Canada, and the USA are the USA. The mindset of American cops is extremely different from Canadian cops.

  22. Pilot program alright on NYPD Starts Body Camera Pilot Program · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "The participation of the New York department, with its 35,000 uniformed members... While the 60-camera pilot program will get running for about $60,000, IT costs are expected to quickly outstrip that amount.

    So, 0.171428571429% of the NYPD will have a body camera. And as nimbius said above, it's not a problem of monitoring, it's a problem of psychology and mindset. It seems police officers think of themselves as soldiers fighting enemy forces instead of officers serving and protecting the public.

  23. Re:Last Gasp of a Dying Man on NVIDIA Sues Qualcomm and Samsung Seeking To Ban Import of Samsung Phones · · Score: 1

    Would it be possible to see laptop and desktop class PowerVR GPUs in the future? Would a PowerVR be a better choice for something like the Macbook Air or a Mac nano the size of an Apple TV?

  24. Re:Last Gasp of a Dying Man on NVIDIA Sues Qualcomm and Samsung Seeking To Ban Import of Samsung Phones · · Score: 0

    Is it really? I see nVidia heading giving better performance per watt for a reasonable cost (Maxwell) while AMD has power-hungry, heat-dissipating GPUs that are only useful for the "uber-gamer" who wants 5% more performance at the cost of three times the power and twice the price.

  25. Still, talking out of your ass is quite impressive. I haven't seen that since 1994.
