  1. Re:But can you play Crysis on it? on 4K Computer Monitors Are Coming (But Still Pricey) · · Score: 1

    I got that reference.

  2. Re:Riiight on Google Rolling Out Gmail Redesign · · Score: 1

    It's more along the lines of the current smart inbox option where you can select priority inbox, or unread first, or whatever. That's been around for quite a while now, and I'm still using the standard inbox with no questions asked by Gmail.

  3. Re:Windows 7 x64 and IE10? on Aussie Government Proposes OpenDocument As the Standard Format · · Score: 1

    As someone who runs a business and has to deal with government websites, most of them don't even work in IE10 unless you specifically enable compatibility mode.

  4. Re: Does it matter? on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    The vast majority of teens I know would be able to tell you exactly what version, and half of them would be able to tell you what made that version different from the previous one.

  5. Re:"On-line games" on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 1

    Personally, I thought it was obvious.

    Online games: Facebook, Flash, HTML5, etc.

    Proper Multiplayer games: Counter Strike, Team Fortress 2, etc. (Which happen to have Linux versions anyway.)

  6. Re:nope. it starts with accuracy on The 'Linux Inside' Stigma · · Score: 0

    its for us smart people only. Idiots are not welcome. Stick to your I-thingys

    I may be wrong, but generally a basic understanding of English is required before you can claim to be smart. If English is your secondary language, then you may be excused, but that still doesn't allow for the ignorance of the spellcheck option.

  7. Re:Isn't that the point of crowdfunding? on Has Kickstarter Peaked? · · Score: 1

    +1

  8. Re:Yet another one..... on Has Kickstarter Peaked? · · Score: 1

    You forgot to give us the link, or at least a name to search for.

  9. Re:The flatlining of the Hollywood movie scene on Animation Sophistication: The Croods Required 80 Million Compute Hours · · Score: 1

    If you believe Wikipedia, that's just a myth.

  10. Re:Belgium does that on European Carriers Complain To EU About Anti-Competitive Contracts With Apple · · Score: 5, Interesting

    As a computer nerd who owns an iPhone 5 and a Galaxy S3, I can tell you that no matter what I do with my Galaxy, my iPhone is still easier to use, more simple to navigate, and is always more stable. It does everything I need it to. The Galaxy. That's my fiddle phone. I can do anything I want with that phone, and it rarely complains. I can install different operating systems, I'm pretty sure I could dual boot if I wanted to. But so far every single thing I've done on my Galaxy that I couldn't do on my iPhone has been things only a nerd or geek would want to do. (Apart from use a proper Google Reader app, but that's no longer a problem with what's happening to it.) So in the end of my 6 month review of the two phones, I've come to the conclusion (I came to it ages ago actually) that while the Galaxy is the superior phone in nearly every way, the iPhone is the phone that's going to let the average customer do everything they need to do with hardly any worries. (It also feels stronger.) The average non-tech person who gets a smartphone doesn't want to dual boot it, they just want to use it. That's why Apple is so successful. (And when some damn saleperson talked my grandmother into getting a cheap android phone, I felt like taking it to the shop and stuffing it up ....... never mind. That was made worse by most of her children using iPhones and iPads.)

  11. Ghost Protocol on Meteor Streaks Over American East Coast · · Score: 1

    Clearly what happened is the Americans fired an atomic missile at the Russians, but they managed to stop it, and then the Russians tried the same trick on the Americans, but they managed to stop it as well. Either that, or it turns out that these fancy atomic things don't work as well as they used to. Or for those who want a conspiracy theory, they're actually releasing mind altering chemicals. Or the alien version would be that they're probes for the coming mothership. For the 2012 fan, sorry, they messed up the maths. They meant 21st of December, 2013.

  12. Antivirus on Six Months Without Adobe Flash, and I Feel Fine · · Score: 1

    Wow, big deal. I lived for 4 months without any antivirus installed, installing something once a month just to do a single full scan. Never picked up anything. Only stopped because Valve released the Steam for Linux Beta and I ran out of reasons to use Windows.
