  1. Re:How much is it at Newegg? on Samsung Ships 15.38TB SSD With Up To 1,200MBps Performance (computerworld.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I get slightly higher fps than a console.

    PC gaming master race wins again!

  2. That would be brilliant if on Australia Deploys Shark-Spotting Drones To Keep Watch Over Beachgoers (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    They were armed with "lasers"

  3. Re:SCO are dead on SCO Is Undeniably, Reliably Dead (fossforce.com) · · Score: 1

    But I'm a satanist, you insensitive clod.

  4. Is it still considered an ad blocker... on Adblock Plus Comes (Somewhat) Clean About How Acceptable Ads Work (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    It doesn't block ads, it shouldn't advertise itself as an ad blocker. Why do people keep using ABP at all?

  5. Virtual clone drive was the only image mounting program worth a damn on windows.

  6. Re:Telemetry = spying END OF DISCUSSION. on Microsoft Telemetry Collection, Explained (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Sounds more like a trojan than spyware, really.

  7. Re:Yeah, whatever ARM on ARM: Mobile Graphics Will Surpass PlayStation 4, Xbox One In 2017 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    The PS4 clearly has an advantage.

    From what we've seen so far, the advantage is negligible. Sony tends to go for the higher resolutions, but it more often than not kills the framerate, making you wonder how big that gap actually is, and if it's there at all.

  8. Re:This has enormous ramifications. on Low-Cost "Paper Skin" Boasts Same Sensory Functions As the Real Thing (gizmag.com) · · Score: 1

    They'll probably develop something boring like tactile-feedback toilet paper. You know how they get about their bathroom tech.

  9. Re:The future looks good. on Ask Slashdot: Linux and the Home Recording Studio? · · Score: 0

    I just don't see how it would be good for this, considering what a mess PulseAudio and ALSA are.

  10. Re:So the vulnerability is the updating mechanism? on Apple's iPhone Already Has a Backdoor · · Score: 1

    If you just so happen to need to reset your phone, you have to upgrade to the latest version via itunes.

  11. Imagine having a website on the internet that is NOT listed by search engines by means of an arcane file called robots.txt! Too damn spooky.

  12. That and MacOS X being standard UNIX, so it has proper security in place. Last time Windows had anything even remotely resembling, people shunned Vista and painted it as the worst OS ever.

  13. Re:This was it folks. on Google Is Experimenting With Article Recommendations In Chrome (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Those older versions of Opera cost money, it was the free versions that displayed ads.

  14. Missing feature on Opera Founder Opens Up About New Vivaldi Browser (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    One of the most missed features from oldpera is the links page. So, you'd find a page with a bunch of links to files you want, you'd press ctrl+shift+l, filter by file extension and it would let you download them at once. It was like the downthemall! extension for Firefox, but much more powerful. I wonder if they even remember they had that feature.

  15. Re:Not like chrome. on Opera Founder Opens Up About New Vivaldi Browser (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Wrong, Opera used its own Presto engine. They struggled maintaining compatibility and one day decided to fire all their engineers and develop a skin for chrome instead.

  16. Those Gen-Xers. We need another Vietnam to thin their ranks.

  17. Maybe the logical course of action was to chimp out and get all vulcan-strong and punch Khan to death.

  18. Jedi is still missing.

    Perhaps it's for the best. Who doesn't love the awesome Jedi Rocks! music video, ewoks blinking, Vader yelling NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooo while throwing Sheev down the bottomless pit, Jar-Jar yelling "wessa free!" at the end, or Hayden Christiansen being edited in as a force ghost? George Lucas clearly knew what he was doing while re-mastering, re-imagining and re-editing this masterpiece. Bravo, George!

  19. Re:POT (Personal Open Terminal) lowers isolation on Bad Karma: WISP Pares Back Its Monthly 4G Hotspot Plan, Again · · Score: 2

    TimeCube, is that you?

  20. *buntu on Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Why do we need a separate distro for every DE under the sun? What are you hoping to achieve?

  21. I wonder if the NSA is just watching this debacle, laughing their asses off and eating popcorn.

  22. Re:Better question on Where Do the Presidential Candidates Stand On Encryption? (windowsitpro.com) · · Score: 1

    Alright, you get to explain HTTPS to Donald Trump. Good luck.

  23. News for Nerds on Kanye West Is Reportedly Considering Legal Action Against the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Just slap "the pirate bay" or "internet of things" at the end of your average TMZ article.

  24. Re:Is he really agreeing? on Google CEO Finally Chimes In On FBI Encryption Case, Says He Agrees With Apple (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    Apple is actually doing something very odd. It is trying to protect its customers!

    It's almost as if they're doing it for free PR with next to no negative consequences to themselves. What a bunch of American heroes.

  25. Re:Why gifs? on Twitter Rolls Out GIF Button (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Also iOS devices have yet to support webm and that's a huge chunk of their market.
