  1. Re:Now I have TMBG stuck in my head on Larry Ellison Believes Apple Is Doomed · · Score: 1

    Just awesome, thank you for that. Although, I feel like Java is treated more like person man around here ;)

  2. Shower Curtain Rings? on Study Finds 3D Printers Pay For Themselves In Under a Year · · Score: 1

    I just buy the curtains with loops built in, no rings needed. But, if I could print the whole curtain.... nope still not worth it. Plus the $18 of material doesn't include trial and error mistakes of learning how to use the thing,

  3. MSE on Ask Slashdot: Light-Footprint Antivirus For Windows XP? · · Score: 1

    I run MS Security Essentials on an old 1.2Ghz Celeron with 512mb RAM used as a standard-def media pc. Granted it doesn't see internet usage but I've never really noticed the anti-virus making trouble.

  4. Re:Spreadsheet applications shouldn't need GPU!! on LibreOffice Calc Set To Get GPU Powered Boost From AMD · · Score: 0

    On the other hand, massively parallel computation is what spreadsheets are and what GPU is good at.

    ^^^ This. Although not always, but often enough.

    If you have multiple columns performing the same action for each cell accost a few thousand rows, it could make a difference.

  5. Hello, from the USA on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    "will not be treated as a United States person, unless such person can be positively identified as such, or the nature or circumstances of the person's communications give rise to a reasonable belief that such person is a United States person," the secret document stated.'"

    Which is why I start all my conversations with an un-encrypted "Hello fellow US citizen! Nice weather here in the US, where we both live and currently are, today huh?" ;-)

  6. Re:They saw this coming for ages... on Main US Weather Satellite Fails As Hurricane Season Looms · · Score: 2

    I actually really like their website, especially the hourly weather graph and radar images. I find it handier (and more ad free) than many private sites.

  7. Re:now we wait on Europe Needs Genetically Engineered Crops, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    Much better than soylent red!
