  1. Anyone not the /. crowd would probably think that essential means bare minimum. Therefore no one wants it...

  2. Original revolutionary design on Ask Slashdot: What Is the 'Special Appeal' of Apple Products? · · Score: 0

    Original iPhone changed everything. My iPod, Nintendo ds, and psp all terrible in comparison. I even switched to AT&T to get one. They were there first by two years, and I was never drawn to any android feature enough to change. I could always count on apple getting it right, and non flagship androids are largely hit or miss.

  3. Commodore 64 Rage on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 0

    I don't recall the games or much about this system at all. I do however remember the joystick controllers and my rage at losing, and the subsequent breaking of the joystick.

  4. Microsoft says they are the best! on Microsoft Edge Beats Chrome By Over Three Hours In New Battery Usage Test (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 0

    Clearly they wouldn't put out these numbers if they were last. Probably best to wait for an independent source for a real test.

  5. Twit.tv on Slashdot Asks: Your Favorite Podcasts? And Why? · · Score: 0

    Tech news today, and hardware weekly. Covers everything important in tech, and anything new in computer hardware.

  6. Centralized Research Center on Let Researchers Try New Paths (nature.com) · · Score: 0

    So I propose a basic repository for these types of research avenues. Researchers submit their project and stay within their desired approved scope. Then as they find other interesting paths to branch they 'suggest' them to other research teams to peruse. That way work would not need to be repeated except to verify results. Of course this will probably never happen due to the ambiguity of the credit.

  7. See how to eradicate porn from the internet on Grand Ayatollah Says High Speed Internet Is "Against Moral Standards" · · Score: 1

    Make people wait... brilliant!

  8. Media server with raid 5 on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 0

    Lecie big 5 networked servers could hold that much data. Save doubling your storage by using raid5. Better speed and you can save all your data if a drive fails. Some of these options are affordable but 20tb will probably cost you a bit. You could also use the drives you already have in a barebones setup.

  9. Productivity and Entertainment Applications on Ask Slashdot: What Software Can You Not Live Without? · · Score: 0

    Most noticeably I use VLC, can't live without it anymore. Windows media player is such a piece of junk. Then install MS Word and Excel. uTorrent is also among the few applications I can not live without. Need silverlight for Netflix and install WinRar only if needed(which is seldom anymore). I also install AVG free antivirus and dropbox is always a happy addition. Backup this restore point so trying out new apps won't bog down my system to unusability over time. Cheers!

  10. Engraving by no means permanent on Slashdot Asks: Do You Label Your Tech Gear, and If So, How? · · Score: 0

    Had an iPod stolen with my name and phone number engraved. One of the first thing they did was scratch that off.

  11. Other uses on US Should Cancel Plutonium Plant, Say Scientists · · Score: 0

    Nuclear missiles may be the obvious use of plutonium, but does this article completely forget about the lack of this material concerning space exploration. The need for this material in the future is going to increase exponentially. I can't imagine how much of this stuff it would take to get to another planet that has liquid water.

  12. Just a Circle and the iPhone is just a rectangle. on A Peek At Apple's Planned $5B HQ · · Score: 0

    Way to simplify a incredibly complex complex. :)

  13. Re:How are they finding you? on Ask Slashdot: Mitigating DoS Attacks On Home Network? · · Score: 0

    If this user does nothing before they 'find' him he must have it on his system already. If connecting to a certain game triggers it find a diffrent server.

  14. iPhone 4 Issue on Ask Slashdot: Is iOS 7 Slow? · · Score: 0

    Imoa the iPhone 4 should not be ugraded to iOS7 as it does lower the quality of the usage. The iPhone 4S and above seem to have more than enough power to make the UI flawless.

  15. first thought as well. My navigator wouldn't be able to enter text that will be hard to bring up maps.

  16. Re: Something It Isn't on Google Glass: What's With All the Hate? · · Score: 0

    Instead of a backlash over privacy has anyone considered the potential gold mine of hilarious outcomes of such a device.

  17. Tell me something I don't already know on Internet's Energy Needs Growing Faster Than Efficiency Gains · · Score: 0

    This has been a pretty consistent trend ever since we invented electricity. Efficiency has a hard limit and our needs have none.

  18. Re:I've been playing it since yesterday. on BioShock: Infinite Released · · Score: 0

    I thought part of the appeal of this game is the fact that the npcs don't repeat models like every other game. Disappointing.

  19. Re:I've been playing it since yesterday. on BioShock: Infinite Released · · Score: 0

    I haven't played any other bioshock games, but the preview trailer looked awesome on hulu. Then I heard it was a console port. No longer interested.

  20. Pre Pre Crime on Brain Scans Predict Which Criminals Are More Likely To Re-offend · · Score: 0

    Next up: At birth determination on when and which crimes will be committed by any individual.

  21. Acquisitions over Taxes on Do Big-Money Acquisitions Mean We're In a Tech Bubble? · · Score: -1

    All these companies are using their extreme tax evasions on these buys. These very big companies pay so little of the taxes they should through loopholes. Why not reinvest that free money to make even more nearly tax free cash.

  22. Anyone Compile A List? on Ask Slashdot: Do-It-Yourself Security Auditing Tools? · · Score: 1

    I believe this questions really requires a list of possible attack vectors. Is a list like that even possible, or is it infinite.

  23. Copyright Reform on No "Ungoogleable" In Swedish Lexicon, Thanks to Google · · Score: 1

    Just another reason.
