  1. Re:DVD's are just as easy. on How Much Data Plan Bandwidth Is Wasted By DRM? · · Score: 1

    Hand-held DVD players? What is this, the middle ages?

  2. Re: A useful case study because it's not catastrop on ARIN Is Down To the Last /8 of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    still haven't made the move to the universal measurement system

    I'm glad to know I'm not the only one using the universal Klapagorg measurement system!

  3. Re:Intentional sabotage? on Next-Gen Thunderbolt: Twice as Fast, But a Different Connector · · Score: 1

    Maybe their goal is changing the connector before it gets more adoption?

    As for USB 3.1, didn't I heard about a new, non-backward-compatible reversible connector a hwile back?

  5. Re:Also fixed in Lion on Apple Fixes Major SSL Bug In OS X, iOS · · Score: 1

    iOS6 did receive a patch about another SSL vulnerability a few months back, I think.

    What I'm hoping for is for Apple to enable FaceTime Audio for the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS. All this talk about Earth Day is nice, but what's really helpful for users and the environment is to use older devices longer before recycling them.

  6. Re:Also fixed in Lion on Apple Fixes Major SSL Bug In OS X, iOS · · Score: 2

    What about iOS 6? There's still a lot of older iPhones out there.

  7. Re:What's the cost to use a real rng vs psudo on NIST Removes Dual_EC_DRBG From Random Number Generator Recommendations · · Score: 1

    Not sure if their implementation is better, but VIA seems to have something different and hardware-based.

    If it's truly good, maybe it could be licensed and added to all future Intel, AMD and ARM CPUs?

  8. Utility on Lytro Illum Light-Field Camera Lets You Refocus Pictures Later · · Score: 1

    I think all crime scene photographers should get these cameras.

  9. Re:Apple AirPort Extreme/Express? on Intentional Backdoor In Consumer Routers Found · · Score: 1

    I would like to know too, but I'm guessing all we're going to get is sarcastic and flamebait replies.

  10. Re:This is odd... on Oklahoma Moves To Discourage Solar and Wind Power · · Score: 1

    Just because the current technology isn't good enough doesn't mean "solar power" is going to be bad forever. That's like comparing a Ford Model T with an IBM Model M.

  11. Re:Suck It Up! on Oklahoma Moves To Discourage Solar and Wind Power · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Or, in Star Trek words...

    We, the collective, believe your technology is not even worthy of being considered. You will adapt to service us. Resistance is futile.

  12. Re:Something wrong at the foundation - on Oklahoma Moves To Discourage Solar and Wind Power · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't know how or where this "grow or die" idea began, but it's just plain wrong. You can't have infinite growth within a finite market.

    Scientist: If I give you three bananas, then another two bananas, how many bananas do you have?

  14. Re:THIS on Ask Slashdot: Hungry Students, How Common? · · Score: 1

    Not only that, but without a good supply of plumbers, the Internet is doomed in about a decade or so.

  15. Re:Shocking. on Closing Surgical Incisions With a Paintbrush and Nanoparticles · · Score: 1

    All I know is that some black guy named Ben invented rice and that he was someone's uncle.

    What does that have to do with flying cars? Your reply makes no sense at all.

  21. Re:LaserJet II and LaserJet 3 on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Products Were Built To Last? · · Score: 4, Funny

    You'll probably still use them after they catch fire though.

    We had one at work, the damn thing smelled like a fucking two-cylinder engine puking fumes when it printed even though the prints were fine.

  22. Re:Model M Keyboard FTW on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Products Were Built To Last? · · Score: 2

    Apart from cockroaches, the Model M keyboards will be the only things to survive a nuclear blast.

    Let me help you.

    I've still got a NES that works fine apart from the usual cartridge connector issue.

    Still feel old? Alright...

    I've got an Intellivision 1 that still works fine but could use new controllers.
