  1. Re:Great, now bring back the G700s. on Logitech is Relaunching the MX518 Gaming Mouse (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Same I would miss the 4 buttons on the thumb if my g700 ever dies.

  2. Re:I want Bezels on Samsung Will Put Notches On Its Future Phones (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    As it is now on my note9 I have to be careful not to touch the curved edge. Its super annoying.

  3. Re:We need to take action on Kindergarteners Today Get Little Time To Play, and It's Stunting Their Development (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    So edgy, be careful you'll cut yourself with that snark.

  4. Or as my company likes to do.... on Disproving the Mythical Man-Month With DevOps · · Score: 1

    Or as my company likes to do. Lay off 4 people and tell the 1 remaining he still needs to do the 5 month project in 1 month.

  5. Re:Dead on Arrival on Oculus Founder Explains Why the Rift VR Headset Will Cost "More Than $350" · · Score: 1

    The eye is capable of detecting that much because of the way the images are generated.

  6. Four different positions that she was a good candidate for, but not the best candidate.

    Easy. Requires no maleficence or ineptitude on anyone's part.

  7. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on The Town That Banned Wi-Fi · · Score: 4, Informative

    The thing is EMF strength falls off due to the inverse square law. The strength needed to actually impact the body is far greater than what is put off by cell phones and wifi.

    Standing in front of a Jet plane with its active radar on can render you sterile. A jet plane flying overhead with its radar on doesn't even give you goosebumps.

  8. Chalk? on Microsoft To Teachers: Using Pens and Paper Not Fair To Students · · Score: 2

    Kids don't express themselves in chalk?

    She doesn't have children. I have chalk pictures all over my driveway.

  9. Most other places in the country already do this. It's only not "normal" in California.

  10. Re:The new definition of Diplomacy on The United States Just Might Be Iran's Favorite New Nuclear Supplier · · Score: 1

    Except not only do we know they don't have any, the CIA and Mossad have confirmed that they aren't working on any either.

  11. Re:"Drama of mental illness" on Child Psychotherapist: Easy and Constant Access To the Internet Is Harming Kids · · Score: 1

    Yeah this darn technology making us antisocial.

  12. Re:Ok, they got ONE right... on Internet Sales Tax Bill Dead In Congress · · Score: 1

    Its not a loophole. Its explicitly prohibited.

    The loophole is that states try to end run the prohibition by charging you a use tax.

    They're not trying to close a loophole, they are trying to overturn existing law.

  13. Re:I wish I'd thought of that on Car Thieves and Insurers Vote On Keyless Car Security · · Score: 1

    Most of the key reset procedures I've seen require inside access to the car, and if the thieves already have that, slaving a new key to the car is mostly a moot point.

  14. Doesn't suprise me. on Blizzard Sues Starcraft II Cheat Creators · · Score: 2

    Doesn't surprise me at all, they already won this same type of lawsuit against cheat programmers for World of Warcraft.

  15. Routine changes. on Ask Slashdot: System Administrator Vs Change Advisory Board · · Score: 1

    We got our CAB to agree to a certain class of routine changes that require minimum review. They don't need anymore detail than, Test servers updated on Tuesday, Production one week later per maintenance windows.

  16. Re:really slashdot? on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    The one thing I've learned over the years is:

    If you every posted "not news for nerds" , or "not stuff that matters"

    You're invariably wrong.

    In this case you were wrong twice.

    What dumb phone provides tethering?

  19. Re: Iran wants CHEAPER nuclear electricity on There Would Be No Iranian Nuclear Talks If Not For Fracking · · Score: 1

    There has never been any indication that this is truth besides American and Israeli posturing. The UN inspectors said there is no nuclear weapons program and that Iran had complied fully with the NPT and their inspections.

  20. Re:So Saturday Bad, Sunday Good? on US Postal Service To Make Sunday Deliveries For Amazon · · Score: 1

    The senate refused them the ability to suspend saturday delivery.

    And there is probably going to be a sunday delivery premium, either charged to the customer or absorbed by amazon.

  21. Re:Obligatory note: the USPS is intentionally brok on US Postal Service To Make Sunday Deliveries For Amazon · · Score: 5, Informative

    Well, while it was signed by a republican president and sponsored by a republican, it was cosponsored by 2 dems and a republican. It also passed house with a voice vote, and the senate with a unanimous vote.

    This was a completely bipartisan bill that our whole government went in on.

    Even the postal unions were for this (Why I have no idea).

  22. Re:second hand e-smoke on Research Shows E-Cigs Might Be As Good For Quitting As Nicotine Patches · · Score: 1

    Isn't that still tobacco though?

  23. Re:Nice hobby project on Mobile Raspberry Pi Computer: Build Your Own Pi-to-Go · · Score: 1

    The only thing that can reasonably be said about News for Nerds is that anyone who says "News for Nerds doesn't mean...."

    Is always wrong.

  24. Re:Good for him on All of Nate Silver's State-Level Polling Predictions Proved True · · Score: 1

    It exactly represents the vote of the people state by state. As it is supposed to.

  25. Errrr....Yeah I don't think so. on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So basically she is upset that she has to compete with all the men owned companies instead of using federal money to underbid them because there isn't another female owned business that she could compete with to underbid the male owned companies.

    BOO FREAKING HOO.
