  1. Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo on Samsung Faces Lawsuit In China Over Smartphone Bloatware · · Score: 1

    Appropriate timing. Got 3 notifications from NFL Mobile yesterday. Thanks to whomever mentioned disabling above.

  2. This is the year of Linux on the desktop! Finally! on London Council Dumping Windows For Chromebooks To Save £400,000 · · Score: 1

    Chrombook is Linux rite?

  3. Re:I could be wrong but.... on Utility Box Exposed As Spy Cabinet In the Netherlands · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't have bothered commenting on this were it not for the final unneeded sentence.

    Iraq casualties under Bush: 4222
    Afghanistan casualties under Bush: 630

    Iraq casualties under Obama: 264
    Afghanistan casualties under Obama: 1570

    Care to distort anymore truths while you are at it?

  4. Imagine on Ask Slashdot: Building a Cheap Computing Cluster? · · Score: 5, Funny

    A beowulf cluster of these! FP

  5. Re:Umm, yeah on Mosquitoes Beginning To Ignore DEET Repellent · · Score: 1

    Saying something doesn't make it true. Evolution has no direction, nor plan. Humans aren't 'more' evolved than any other creature. Every species out there is just as evolved as every other species until it is extinct.

  6. Re:evolution on Mosquitoes Beginning To Ignore DEET Repellent · · Score: 1

    Actually the US had a eugenics movement at the same time. Please stop ignoring US history. Research the mental hospitals here. Epileptics were kept in male or female farms as well for indirect birth control.

  7. Re:Please, try not to laugh. Seriously. on Can Legacy Dual-Core CPUs Drive Modern Graphics Cards? · · Score: 1

    Not sure what you are looking for on your new machine but I am running MWO on a i5-3570k and a 560Ti and get over 30FPS at 1920x1080. I run a RVN-3L and don't have a problem going 150.2kph and killing everyone.

  8. Re:Is it Islam or something else? on Atheist Blogger Sentenced To 3 Years in Prison For Insulting Islam · · Score: 1

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agora

    I think this is what he was thinking of. But they don't have a great track when it comes to blasphemy either. I like the comparison that Islam is the teenager of religions and it may be ok in another 4-600 years.

  9. Re:HP is lost... on HP Rethinking Wisdom of Spinning Off PC Division · · Score: 1

    I use LDAP on 105 Ricoh MFDs at the hospital I work at. Sure you are doing it right?

  10. Who likes integration? on The Dying DVR Box and Woz Wisdom · · Score: 2

    I would potentially buy a new big screen if it had netflix or pandora integrated but would never buy one with a blu-ray, dvd or hard disk. How many of you like bundling failure-prone or potentially outdated devices into your most expensive component?

  11. Re:Already do this in Indiana on DNA Testing Proposed For All Felony Arrests In New Mexico · · Score: 1

    That wasn't my whole sentence, just the part of the system where I was DNA tested. That said, a .08 where you become a felon and a .07 where you get told 'be safe'! are about a third of a beer at some people's weight.

  12. Already do this in Indiana on DNA Testing Proposed For All Felony Arrests In New Mexico · · Score: 1

    I received a 2nd DUI in 5 years (an A Felony).I had to serve 65 days on electronic monitoring (lax house arrest) and they did this when I entered the program.

  13. Goatse host on What Would You Do With Open.org? · · Score: 5, Funny

    What is more open than goatse?

  14. Re:How about on Sony Marketing Man Tweets PS3 Master Key · · Score: 1

    Mod Parent up! This is about the only important post on this topic.

  15. More Lies on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 2

    Why do you keep lying? THERE IS NO REAL PLAYING OF A GUITAR in Power Gig! I bought the game at Best Buy accidentally the day after Christmas. Unlocked all of the songs so my fiancee could play Dave Matthews. Bought a guitar amp and patch cord so I could actually play it. Again, do not listen to this guy.

    I do disagree that PowerGig is as bad as the reviews it received. I have played Rock Band and Guitar Hero and using the controller will knock you down a level, but that should be expected. It does motivate me at least to try harder. My fiancee is scared to move to a level she will fail at more times than not and enjoys getting 100% on easier levels.

    What 'does it do that it claims' that you believe? Dismissing a review when you have no freaking clue what the gameplay is like makes me dismiss anything you ever say as total bullshit.

  16. Wrong on How To Use a Real Guitar With Rock Band 3 · · Score: 1

    Have you played Power Gig? It has 0 lessons, 0 'actually playing the song' modes, and the only portion of the game that is any different from standard Rock Band / Guitar Hero is 'power chords' which aren't the actual notes in the song anyway. Not to mention you can hit the top string with your pick and hold the bottom fret and vice versa. The only thing 'real' about Power Gig is that you can use the guitar outside of the game, and that you have to press on frets and use a pick.

  17. Re:Inverse correlations on Google Books Makes a Word Cloud of Human History · · Score: 1

    My first search was between demon and epilepsy.

    http://ngrams.googlelabs.com/graph?content=demon%2Cepilepsy&year_start=1800&year_end=2008&corpus=0&smoothing=3

    The dip in the 30s was quite interesting to me.

  18. Is it enough? on Canadian Libraries Want $300,000 To Buy Games · · Score: 1

    I know the library has DVDs and some music for free, but with Redbox having the newest movies for $1 and other game rental services out there, it is almost as expensive driving there with gas as doing something else almost free.

    Not sure this is the best idea but what do I know?

  19. Re:I read a lot on Stone Tools Found On Crete Push Back Humans' Maritime History · · Score: 1

    Apparently no one else has seen True Romance...
    I thought nerds likes Tarantino...
    Hopper vs Walken

  20. Re:Am I the only one? on Fujitsu Readies Lawsuit Over "iPad" Name · · Score: 1

    There is a camping trowel called iPood. It holds TP inside it as well.

  21. Re:Home schooling vs. school duty on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Sounds completely reasonable to me. I don't think any of the half-baked religious nuts know enough about anything to give their children a proper education.

  22. WDTV on SFLC Sues 14 Companies For BusyBox GPL Violations · · Score: 1

    Is it affected?

  23. Re:In my case, temperature tolerance... on Dell Rugged Laptops Not Quite Tough Enough · · Score: 1

    Could be that he put North Dakota in his post so you should be able to figure he was speaking American anyway?
    You temperature Nazis are getting annoying.

  24. Re:Lenovo on Who Installs the Most Crapware? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I can speak from experience that some of the Thinkpad software is not crap, but actually improves the operating of the computer.

    Under IBM the battery and power scheme setups were a lot better at maintaining battery life. Some of these hardware manufacturers actually know what their hardware does and the best way to manage it!

  25. HULK MAD! on CT Scan "Reset Error" Gives 206 Patients Radiation Overdose · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even under normal circumstances, the procedure requires more radiation than most other types of CT scans, said David Brenner, director of radiological research at Columbia University Medical Center in New York.

    Anyone else read this as David Banner?
