  1. Re:How is this news? on The Quantum Experiment That Simulates a Time Machine · · Score: 1

    And don't forget that other time they did it, in January 2015.

  2. Re:Bad comparaison on The American App Economy Is Now "Bigger Than Hollywood" · · Score: 1

    Apple knows how many developer accounts they have, I'm guessing they're going with that number.

  3. Re:A genuinely nice man on Nobel Laureate and Laser Inventor Charles Townes Passes · · Score: 1

    Yeah sure, but wait another 50 years and you won't be laughing at the sharks problem.

  4. Why Safari 8? on YouTube Ditches Flash For HTML5 Video By Default · · Score: 1

    If I switch my user agent to "iPad", the videos play just fine in Safari 7 too.

  5. Re:Come again? on YouTube Ditches Flash For HTML5 Video By Default · · Score: 1

    YouTube = youtube.com
    "Player on the Web" = embedded YouTube videos on non-youtube.com web pages.

  6. Re:Hacking "Collaborative"? on Lizard Squad Hits Malaysia Airlines Website · · Score: 3, Funny

    Now they have replaced an image on a website, big fucking whoop.

    That's still better than most business clients using a CMS.

  7. Lizard Squad targeted Slashdot too on Lizard Squad Hits Malaysia Airlines Website · · Score: 5, Funny

    But after seeing Beta, they thought someone else hit first.

  8. Re:Nitpick - Raleigh-Durham is not a city on New Google Fiber Cities Announced · · Score: 2

    Next thing you know you'll say that there's no such thing as San Angeles.

  9. Re:Hello? on New Google Fiber Cities Announced · · Score: 1

    Let's just start with Montreal and cover an area roughly 600km in radius from there.

  10. Only those features? on Opera Founder Is Back, WIth a Feature-Heavy, Chromium-Based Browser · · Score: 1

    Firefox users who likewise prefer a browser with more rather than fewer features (but otherwise want to stick with Firefox) might also consider SeaMonkey, which bundles not just a browser but email, newsgroup client and feed reader, HTML editor, IRC chat and web development tools.

    Either that's feature bloat for a Web browser or it's also missing an image editor. I'm not sure which.

  11. Researchers Tie Regin Malware To [...] Intel on Researchers Tie Regin Malware To NSA, Five Eyes Intel Agencies · · Score: 1

    That's why I use AMD.

  12. Re:Oh Boy! on Modular Smartphones Could Be Reused As Computer Clusters · · Score: 1

    Those USB/HDMI converters are almost as expensive as a Raspberry Pi.

    So, if we forget the dual monitor output, what's out there with SD card access and an HDMI port? Anything with a lower price tag than a Raspberry Pi that's still worth buying?

  13. Re:Oh Boy! on Modular Smartphones Could Be Reused As Computer Clusters · · Score: 1

    A bit overkill for what I need (driving two LCDs as poster displays).

  14. Option? on NVIDIA GTX 970 Specifications Corrected, Memory Pools Explained · · Score: 1

    The smaller, 500MB pool operates at 1/7th the speed of the 3.5GB pool and thus will lower total graphics system performance by 4-6% when added into the memory system. That occurs when games request MORE than 3.5GB of memory allocation though, which happens only in extreme cases and combinations of resolution and anti-aliasing.

    How about giving us the option to either always be able to run at maximum speed (disable that last 0.5GiB) or always let the software use the full 4GiB (at the cost of speed if more than 3.5GiB is required).

  15. Re:Oh Boy! on Modular Smartphones Could Be Reused As Computer Clusters · · Score: 1

    Do you know any SBC that can drive two HDMI displays independently?

  16. Re:Terrible names on Windows 10: Charms Bar Removed, No Start Screen For Desktops · · Score: 1

    And to be more specific, the last one really alive was the Snow Leopard.

  17. Re:Terrible names on Windows 10: Charms Bar Removed, No Start Screen For Desktops · · Score: 0

    I much rather have most of the stuff shoved away from my site, until I need them

    Like a spellchecker, perhaps?

  18. Re:Nice troll on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Patch it yourself you goddamn hippies! /sarcasm

  19. Re:Windows 10 on DirectX 12 Lies Dormant Within Microsoft's Recent Windows 10 Update · · Score: 1

    Show me where I can get Windows 7 for 60$CAD on NewEgg.ca

    And I play Blizzard and Steam games. Not everyone needs to play games on a 4K monitor at 200FPS with the maximum settings.

  20. Re:Windows 10 on DirectX 12 Lies Dormant Within Microsoft's Recent Windows 10 Update · · Score: 1

    I wrote in my previous message that I build it myself and that's it's a new computer. It's parts I bought from NewEgg, which are not used.

  21. Re: life in the U.S. on Verizon, Cable Lobby Oppose Spec-Bump For Broadband Definition · · Score: 2

    Sometimes, yes. Nothing is 100% reliable. But ask the same question to someone who lives in Canada, Europe or Asia. Nobody "expects" to lose his connection. On the rare occasions that it happens, it's surprising and shocking, but not expected.

  22. Re: life in the U.S. on Verizon, Cable Lobby Oppose Spec-Bump For Broadband Definition · · Score: 2

    Ideally you want to grab as much of the stream all at once as you can, incase you loose connectivity during the next 2 hours.

    That's the problem. USA-Americans are so used to crappy communication services that they expect to lose connections. There shouldn't be any lost connectivity.

  23. Re:Ban...? on Secret Service Investigating Small Drone On White House Grounds · · Score: 1

    They won't ban drones but they'll make a law making it illegal to fly drones higher than the height of a standard backyard fence.

  24. Re:They also are investigating other things... on Secret Service Investigating Small Drone On White House Grounds · · Score: 1

    So what you're saying is that there's more than meets the eyes?

  25. Re:At least it wasn't a 3D printed drone! on Secret Service Investigating Small Drone On White House Grounds · · Score: 2

    Once the feds realize that drones need an atmosphere to fly, we're all doomed.
