  1. Re:major events, such as the death of Michael Jack on Wikipedia As a "War Zone," Rather Than a Collaboration · · Score: 1

    Famous for being well known, is that like being dark for being black, or loud for having a high volume?

  2. Re:I have HBO... on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1

    No HBO Go in Canada.

  3. Re:I have HBO... on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1

    No HBO Go in Canada, and it's legal to download content in Canada.

  4. I have HBO... on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... but I get busy doing something most Sunday nights or forget to watch it, so I usually start the download Monday morning and watch it after work.

    It's not pirating if you're time shifting.

  5. Thorium Nuclear on Japan's Last Nuclear Reactor Shuts Down · · Score: 4, Informative

    We need to start making some of these Thorium reactors.

  6. Re:Windows 8: The Playskool OS on The Three Flavors of Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Ever since my colleagues and I booted it up in a VM we've nicknamed it "Fisher-Price OS".

  7. Re:XBMC on Ask Slashdot: How To Make My Own Hardware Multimedia Player? · · Score: 1

    XBMC 0.11 (Eden) seems to have a few issues with some remotes, specifically media center ones, and has pretty lousy netflix streaming integration. I've been trying for a few weeks now to iron out the issues, but quite frankly it just "isn't there yet".

    XBMC is good software, and I applaud the teams working on it, if the remote issues can be ironed out and proper netflix support added it would be awesome.

  8. 10 and 2 mostly... on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 1

    ... but when I'm feeling lazy, one handed at about 1:30.

  9. More disturbingly... on Canada's Conservatives Misled Voters With Massive Robocall Operation · · Score: 5, Informative

    Some calls apparently were from people claiming to be with the Liberal party, acting rude, calling at very late/early hours, in an attempt to cause people who said they supported the Liberal party to not vote for them. These calls happened in multitudes of ridings (districts for you yanks) including Etobicoke Centre where the Conservative candidate won by only 26 votes.

  10. Re:Good, Because Certs Are Worthless on The IT Certs That No Longer Pay Extra · · Score: 1

    Cisco certs have labs which require actual configuration/troubleshooting of multiple emulated cisco devices, memorizing answers will not get you through them.

  11. It isn't Wednesday yet... on Apple Announces Most Profitable Quarter in History · · Score: 1

    ... It's still Tuesday....

  12. Yes. on Will Secure Boot Cripple Linux Compatibility? · · Score: 0

    It Will.

  13. Of course the best is... on Best Software For Putting Lectures Online? · · Score: 1

    ... Windows Movie Maker!

  14. I for one, on Tiny Insect Cyborgs Could Act As First Responders · · Score: 3, Funny

    Welcome our new Insect Cyborg overlords

  15. Re:What? on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    The chart stops at June 2010 and it follows phones for the first three years of their life, so an IP2G had the latest OS three years after its release.

    Perhaps you should read the chart?

  16. Re:How do we work this on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The world of fashion is an intellectual propertyless environment. You cannot copyright, patent or trade secret a design, so copies happen frequently. Every designer plays off the other, yet the industry still works and is incredibly profitable as it rakes in $20 billion a year.

    Why could tech not be the same?

  17. Thank you Mr. Ritchie on Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C Programming Language, Passed Away · · Score: 1

    Thanks for unix, C, and everything you've done. The world is lesser without you.

  18. RIP Steve... on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 1

    Thanks for all the cool stuff. You were a visionary and inspiration. The world is lesser without you.

  19. Re:I would ask them why only 3 days on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you missed the part where I said:

    There is a testing program, and I am participating in the testing program.

    Really, just relax, take a deep breath, and think good, happy thoughts, I know I am.

  20. Re:I would ask them why only 3 days on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 1

    Bioware has never made a bad game.

  21. Re:I would ask them why only 3 days on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't help that part of the pre-order hype was that pre-ordering it would get you a chance to get into the beta (guess they forgot to mention the "for just three days" part at the press conference).

    Never saw that, as part of the preorder you do get "early game access", which is a way for them to do a controlled ramp up of the playerbase so not everyone is hitting the newbie zones all at once.

    There is a testing program, and I am participating in the testing program, all I can say to you is, it's fucking Bioware dude, the game will be awesome, chill out.

  22. Well then... on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 2

    There is a testing program, and I am participating in the testing program.

    That said, some of the details in the posers question are false.

  23. As a member of Squadron 1020 (first beta weekend) on Star Wars: The Old Republic Launch Date Announced · · Score: 1

    I cannot wait for this bloody game to finally release....

  24. HERETICS! on Why We Don't Need Gigabit Networks (Yet) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    How DARE you say we don't need faster networks! This article should be purged from the interwebs and timothy should be strung up by his gonads for even considering posting it!

  25. No... on Are Some CAs Too Big To Fail? · · Score: 0

    We shouldn't have CAs at all, they have proven themselves irrelevant, untrustworthy and insecure.
