  1. Back in the states on Record Wind Power Levels Trigger Energy Price Fall Across Europe · · Score: 1

    we have oligarchs spending millions to kill alternative energy (to coal and oil). Meanwhile, the aftereffects of pollution is killing the plebs. See Freedom in WV for the latest example.

  2. Yo on Coca-Cola Reserves a Massive Range of MAC Addresses · · Score: 1

    Things go better with coke not Koch.

  3. God forbid on Ask Slashdot: Best App For Android For Remote Access To Mac Or PC? · · Score: 1

    that anybody uses Windows 8, but if you did you would hardly need any app band-aids. Access any network or printer anytime, anywhere. Use any browser that you want--EVERY Web site works miraculously--Flash (shudder) and all. Plus, run MS Office 2013 on your tablet and get some fecking work done! I had to buy a cheap Lenovo Win 8 tablet for business purposes and once I acclimated to it, I stopped using my Nexus 7 (I ditched iOS a long time go because iTunes) because everything worked all the time and I never had to run off to my PC in order to get something serious done. The bottom line is that you can't beat remote desktop and whatever the FREE Mac equivalent is (I forgot since I sold off all of my Apple stuff and I need more memory).

  4. Give me on Is a Super-Sized iPad the Future of Education? · · Score: 1

    network access and management or give me death. Apple needs to meld its mobile and desktop OSs. I also expect a major integration of Android and Chrome in the near future ahead of Apple, That said, they are both years behind MS. We have to give MS credit at this rare point in time--a manageable mobile and desktop OS with Win 8.1, replete with full network access and security.

  5. Morans on Space Junk or a Meteor? Fireball Lit Up Midwestern Skies · · Score: 1

    That was methane burn-off. Somebody got a handle on a gusher.

  6. Did you expect these crackers to be proactive against hackers? I think not. They invest far more in being proactive against "blackers." I have been to Atlanta scores of times and it is a joke of a metropolis. Nothing of worth is going on down there and oh yeah, you better own a car.

  7. In a word... on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Convince Management To Hire More IT Staff? · · Score: 1

    Security.

  8. Lo and behold on Getting Evolution In Science Textbooks For Texas Schools · · Score: 1

    witness the evolution from troglodyte to homo sapien--live (and thirsty).

  9. OK Children... on The Neuroscientist Who Discovered He Was a Psychopath · · Score: 1

    Why would a clinical psychopath come clean?

  10. Without memory on Elevation Plays a Role In Memory Error Rates · · Score: 1

    I make new friends every day.

  11. Yadda, yadda, yadda on 22-Year-Old Norwegian Magnus Carlsen Is the New World Chess Champion · · Score: 1

    Chess is cool. Case closed.

  12. Cool, but to put things in perspective... on Mars Rock Older Than Thought · · Score: 1

    To the many Murcans (including elected officials) that think that humans and dinosaurs co-existed 6,000 years ago, this revelation means nothing. I abhor the indifference. On another note, the Bible IS fiction.

  13. Slashdot has undisclosed billionaire sugar daddies.

  14. In other words on Legislation Would Prohibit ISPs From Throttling Online Video Services · · Score: 1

    Netflix is cutting into our profits and we need them to effectively lobby against anybody who has the audacity to shill a better entertainment value that doesn't include paying for sports networks regardless of whether you want them or not. In other words, pay up or be throttled by our monopoly.

  15. Re:All I can say to that is... on Rental Business Aaron's Admits Role In Spying On Customers · · Score: 1

    Borderline blaming the poors for the existence of exploiters like Aarons and payday-loan shylocks.

  16. Where is the bandwidth going to come from? on 4K Ultra HD Likely To Repeat the Failure of 3D Television · · Score: 2

    The existing for-profit private network infrastructure can barely handle 1080p to begin with and 4k ain't gonna' happen on optical media since Blu-ray is already a failure. You can kiss 4k goodbye until a majority of homes have fiber connections.

  17. Bah PR on Wikipedia Actively Battling PR Sockpuppets · · Score: 1

    PR undermines the truth in every way. It is a battle that is more than worthy of a fight.

  18. Herein lies on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    The secret ingredient of iOS and the devotion of a herd of cow-like users who can't handle something like the omission of a start button in Windows 8, even though it takes less effort to run programs from the start screen. Consequently Android defragmentation is a hit-or-miss proposition that is dependent on regional tech culture where iOS is not so much because it appeals to the lowest common denominator. To me, iOS is like a drug for lazy users who don't know what they're missing because herd mentality. Stock Android devoid of customization would be ideal but that isn't going to happen soon with the current model. http://wirthconsulting.org/2013/10/16/windows-8-gets-a-raw-deal-and-lenovo-and-others-by-extension/

  19. Dear Tepco employee, on Fukushima Nuclear Worker Accidentally Toggles Off Cooling Pumps · · Score: 1

    The honorable thing to do is disembowel yourself. This is commonly known as hara kari.

  20. Not surprised on Delta Replacing Flight Manuals with Surface Tablets · · Score: 1

    As a lifelong Microsoft hater, I have to admit that I love Windows 8, especially on a tablet for too many reasons to list. Yes, I have mastered virtually every OS since PC-DOS and have extensive experience with both iOS and Android tablets. Bottom line is that Win 8 works with damn near anything and MS deserves credit. I invite you to flame on.

  21. Were teh gays pressuring Al Dente to have gay scenarios in his commercials? I think not and he should have kept his mouth shut except for when he is inserting noodles into said orifice.

  22. This is news? on Why iOS 7 Is Making Some Users Feel 'Sick' · · Score: 1

    Plugging in an infernal Apple-approved cable into an infernal PC and dealing with iTunes in order to update or access a file made me sick a long time ago.

  23. Nevertheless on Hulu "Kicking Back Into Action" Says CEO, Adding New Content · · Score: 1

    I have been watching Hulu Plus more and more lately due to the fact that they provide more worldwide TV dramas than Netflix, to whom I have been a long-term subscriber. Movies, Netflix; serials Hulu Plus. Binge watching is rapidly becoming the new normal.

  24. Want some perspective on film? on DoD Declassifies Flu Pandemic Plan Containing Sobering Assumptions · · Score: 1

    Watch the SK drama "Virus" on Hulu and let your conspiracy fantasies run amok.

  25. Like the U.S. abides on Syrian Gov't Agrees To Russian Chem-Weapon Turnover Plan · · Score: 1

    Hypocrisy defined. What about the U.S. chemical weapons policy? http://www.monbiot.com/2013/09/09/obamas-rogue-state/
