  1. Re:Infighting: Linux's biggest weakness on Canonical's Troubles With the Free Software Community · · Score: 1

    My old macbook runs Ubuntu. Now where can I get a laptop with linux pre-installed to make a hackintosh?

  2. Re:Correct me if I'm wrong... on Iran Builds Mock-up of Nimitz-Class Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 0

    t too small for a multi-roll

  3. Re:DUDE! on Monster Hypergiant Star Discovered · · Score: 3, Funny

    In fact it is. By gravity.

    That sucks.

  4. Re:Why? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    Aeropress? Yes, seconded.

  5. Re:OpenRISC hardware? on Experimental Port of Debian To OpenRISC · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Well, these, but they look more OpenWRT than Debian.

  6. Re:Whoop-de-do! on Microsoft Said To Cut Windows Price 70% For Low Cost Devices · · Score: 1

    Make it $5 and I'll take a DVD. My coffee cup coaster needs replacing.

  7. Cribbage on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 4, Funny

    And get off my lawn.

  8. Re:Belkin Gear on Oops: Security Holes In Belkin Home Automation Gear · · Score: 1

    I used to like Netgear, but they're crap now. You say Belkin is too, OK, who then? Linksys? I've had fun mucking up a WRT54GL, but that's ancient now, and back then Netgear were OK, too. TPlink? I like the TL-WR703N, but that's not really a big sample size.

  9. Re:Delta infotainment on What Are the Weirdest Places You've Spotted Linux? · · Score: 1

    CNC machine controllers have the really retarded habit of controlling stepper motors by bit-bashing the LPT. DOS gets out of the way very nicely for this. (I don't have to directly control the stepper motors on my ink jet head, or my CD rom, or my scanner, so why on a lathe???)

  10. Re:The problem is not... on Ask Slashdot: Why Are We Still Writing Text-Based Code? · · Score: 3, Funny

    VB#.NET++

  11. Re:Do not want ... on Firefox 27 Released: TLS 1.2 Support, SPDY 3.1, SocialAPI Improvements · · Score: 1

    FF had a huge memory leak problem. It thrashed. And thrashed and thrashed. This was consistently denied. Now I'm told "It's been fixed!" Why should I trust them now - I now use Chrome and that doesn't suck. My trust in FF has gone, why should I spend my time trying it again when the devs can't even be honest with me?

  13. Re:I have a solution. on California Regulator Seeks To Shut Down 'Learn To Code' Bootcamps · · Score: 1

  15. Re:About that giraffe on Ancient Pompeii Diet Consisted of Giraffe and Other "Exotic'" Delicacies · · Score: 2

    Roast giraffe - that's a tall order.

  16. Re:wrt54gL is made for diy on Backdoor Discovered In Netgear and Linkys Routers · · Score: 1

    There's currently quite a bit of fun hackery going on with TPlink WR703n routers. See these: OpenWRT, LibraryBox, expansion hub, 3D printable case, external antenna md (PDF) or pre-modded for extra ram+flash. I'm currently trying to get HSMM-MESH going on one.

  17. Broken on OSX. on GNU Octave Gets a GUI · · Score: 1

    Using OSX 10.6.8.
    Downloaded, ./configure ; make
    Got an error in "stdio.h"
    Hmmm. Maybe there's a reason this hasn't been announced.

  18. Re:Lets get out all of the bitching before it star on How a Bitcoin Transaction Actually Works · · Score: 1

    Tulips. You forgot the tulips.

  19. Re:Watching watchers on Fearing Government Surveillance, US Journalists Are Self-Censoring · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod, but couldn't decide between "Funny" and "Insightful".

  20. Re:terrorism! ha! on Imagining the Post-Antibiotic Future · · Score: 1

    Places like farms and hospitals - 80% of antibiotic use is agricultural.

  21. Re:Hey California, I have a solution for you on Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners · · Score: 1

    No, we want to label them "bad" and "worse".

  22. Getting VID/PID. on USB Implementers Forum Won't Play Nice With Open Hardware · · Score: 1

    There's a company that licensed a VID before usb.org prohibited sub-selling PIDs and sells them here.
    OpenMoko are licensing their PIDs for FOSS use here.
    List of zombie VIDs here.
