  1. Re: With spinning disks, you do not know either on Why I'm Usually Unnerved When Modern SSDs Die on Us (utoronto.ca) · · Score: 1

    +1 for the 70s stereo and a $20 optical-RCA converter - puts any soundbar I've tried to shame.

  2. There's not enough data to establish context.
    We need a linguistic Enhance button, I guess.

  3. What a maroon.

  4. Re:Navigation on August Solar Eclipse Could Disrupt Roads and Cellular Networks · · Score: 1

    If your relatives all look a-maize-d in the aural-pickup dept., maybe you should change your name to Corn Magnon.

  5. The article on the V10 is from Aug last year asking 'does the V10 have problems?'
    Well does it? Was this the only mud you could find, because that doesn't look like evidence to me.

    Disclaimer: I've had a V10 since before Aug and it has no problems, fwiw.

  6. Re:Thinking about it too hard on Android Device's Pattern Lock Can Be Cracked Within Five Attempts, Researchers Show (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    I have a V10 that moves the pattern sensor to wherever you first touch the screen, and it's not a problem at all to use, and actually helps to move the grease around on he screen somewhat.

    Miserable little rat-faced pope-git.

    ... to get these kids of laws in place...

    Think of the children.

    I use nomorobo with my Comcast service, and only the postman rings twice.

    (the phone rings once if it's from a known robo, and that's it, otherwise you get to service the call)

  10. Re:Those crazy Germans on German Carpenter's Testicluar Valve Could Mean An On/Off Switch For Sperm · · Score: 3, Funny

    A cut above the rest?

  11. Re:Why is everyone wearing headphones? on Which do You Prefer: Mobile Web Apps or Mobile Websites? (Video) · · Score: 2

    And we realize that complaining, valid or not, is a big Slashdot sport, too. :)

    Why are there *still* no prizes for the best complaints?

    Sounds right.

    Now *that's* a good name for a rock band.

  15. Re:Unlimited for one year on Starting Now At Netflix: Unlimited Maternity and Paternity Leave · · Score: 1

    No, but it comes up at every job interview because when I left England in 1983, DEC was giving me 22 days of paid vacation per year.
    In the US, DEC would only give me 10 days, increasing after so many years.

    I just started a new job in November, and guess how much vacation I get, after being employed continually since 1978? 10 days.

    So, yes, vacation is an issue, and I refuse to just abandon it, either when starting a new job, or while working in the same job.

    The best I can manage is to suck on a piece of damp cloth.

    There is a reason we don't call them kings.

    Yes. They *have* got shit all over them.

  19. Re:How much is Google paying for these promotions? on On the Significance of Google's New Cardboard (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'd hardly consider a device that requires use of a $300+ smartphone to be "cheap," and definitely not free.

    If only you could DIY that bit, too, eh?

  20. Re:Converting Turning? on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    I expect to get topic subject-lines that incorrectly state 'Public WiFi Hotspots' when the article is clearly about 'Comcast Subscriber-only WiFi Hotspots'.

    I am surprised that the topic subject line was updated so quickly, frankly, when I pointed it out.

    Too bad I didn't mention the other error...

  21. Re:Liability on Comcast Converting 50,000 Houston Home Routers Into Public WiFi Hotspots · · Score: 1

    It's an a Comcast account setting, not a setting in the router.

    As long as you still get the speed you are paying for... ...if it's done correctly especially as you have multiple ways to opt out.

    Three big "ifs" there: if you get the speed you are paying for, if done correctly, (if) you have multiple(?) ways to opt out.

    Maybe just 'hang up and edit', then?

    Actually, isn't it just the title that is getting it wrong?

    " This is quite disappointing given the consensus by the public, Congress, the President, and two independent review groups that ending bulk collection is necessary."
