  1. Re:Touchscreen rules on Microsoft Mulling Smaller Windows 8 Tablets · · Score: 1

    Go blather elsewhere. No one I've ever met has been happy with using a touchscreen for over 2 minutes. Have fun flailing your arms around like Tom Cruise in Minority Report while everyone laughs at you.

    I'm with you. I was really pissed when my 8-tracks didn't work in my laserdisc player.
    Unless you're changing media formats (cartridge -> optical), the only reason not to have backwards compatibility is cost.

    I do the same thing- buy old used consoles and games. I don't need the newest "shiny" graphics; just give me good game play. I still whip out the old Air Combat on my original Playstation once is a while. Horrible graphics, bad controls, fun as hell.

  7. Re:Um... on Wrong Fuel Chokes Presidential Limo · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Americans (you twat) don't give a flying fuck what you call fossils fuels in Europe? Probably not 'cause you spend 14 paragraphs explaining what "gas" means. What's a cheeseburger- a "processed cow meat pressed into a patty with a layer of cultured milk between two grain based buns" ? No wonder you fucks are tanking an entire continents economy- you spend 3 days ordering lunch.

    How nice for you. Just last week a drunk driver crossed lanes, drove over a jogger, and plowed his car into a pole. Go tell her family how "fine" you and that driver was.

  9. Re:To be fair... on Internet Sales Tax Vote This Week In US Senate · · Score: 1

    Try buying a car in Delaware (no sales tax) if you live in NJ or PA and see if you don't pay a "use tax." In PA I believe it's even called "Sales and Use Tax." If you live near Delaware, a jewelry shop will give you a 6% discount if you mention Delaware. Since jewelry doesn't have to be registered like cars do, it's worth it to them to keep 94% of a few thousand $s. During the winter holidays, state cops even line up on the border to bust people trying to bring back loads of liquor from DE (not to mention the extra 17% tax PA has for the Johnstown flood. Yes, they still have it.).

    Yep, and it's not just to shield the terrorists, they think it also makes a good photo op to send out pictures of dead kids and women. Since basically the entire world hates the US, they lap it up like good doggies. The US is far, far, far away from being pure, but at least we don't send moms or teenagers into a marketplace to blow themselves up.

    Someone should send GoPro a DMCA notice for some BS reason. I'm sure some evil enough could find something.

  15. Re:Does that include their manufacturing plants? on Apple: 75% of Our World Wide Power Needs Now Come From Renewable Power Sources · · Score: 2

    Don't stop there. Make sure that all the ore extractors use all renewable energy. And all transportation vehicles that move product are green, too. And the consumer who use their products must sign a contract that they can only use Apple products power with renewable energy. Also, the internet must be all renewable so the iTunes store doesn't use fossil fuels for power. Any publication that talks about Apple must be green, or they cannot write about Apple. You are not allowed to read about Apple unless you use renewable energy sources.
    Did I miss anything that Apple is responsible for?

    China has backed NK for a while now. I wouldn't be surprised if that included helping train computer specialists. They might not be backing NK now, but they could have the experience already.

    I'm enjoying the pro-China astroturfing that is going on below.
    I really wish /. would get of the AC option. It's only used by trolls now, not its original purpose of protected people from releasing important information (a la WikiLeaks). Then again, /. is now just a place to argue about global warming, judicial cases, and OS wars.

    Also just an AC. There is a reason the C stands for "coward." They can't bear to put their trolling next to their name. The AC tag has outlasted its usefulness on /.
