  1. Re:Phone is for talking on Smartphone Screen Real Estate: How Big Is Big Enough? · · Score: 1

    If it's my only phone (and it is), then the device is first and foremost a telephone. Everything else can come second.

  2. Re:Actually... I'm glad. on Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 10 For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    We did an overhaul that's rolling out soon, but we're a small business and are flexible enough to make that happen. However, there are lots of larger inflexible companies where that shit will be ingrained for years to come.

  3. Re:Actually... I'm glad. on Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 10 For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Our intranet looks like shit on standards-compliant browsers (including IE 10) because a lot of shortcuts were taken back in the IE6 days. That button helps to alleviate the problem.

  4. Re:My rule has always been "record nothing" on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Feel About Recording Your Entire Life? · · Score: 1

    That doesn't mean they would want to share all of those moments with you.

  5. Re:Plate tectonics on Long-Lost Continent Found Under the Indian Ocean · · Score: 1

    And, the definition of what constitutes a continent is rather subjective. Any definition one tries to establish has many leaks that result in either very few continents or dozens of them.

  6. Re:now we have a list! on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 5, Funny

    Fuck that, I'm throwing some broken glass on this thread: *:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe*:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe*:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe*:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe*:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe*:ï½¥ï¾Yâoe

  7. Re:So... on Google Looking for "Creative Individuals" For Glass Developer Program · · Score: 5, Funny

    A glasshole.

  8. Re:Time? on Ask Slashdot: What Features Belong In a 'Smartwatch'? · · Score: 2

    I have a phone for telling time. I'd want a watch that does something different.

  9. Re:Classic Geek Mistake on Xbox Originator: "Stupid, Stupid Xbox!!" · · Score: 2

    No. I run the Plex media server on my Mac and it streams videos to my Xbox and my Roku just fine. And, I run Microsoft Smartglass on my iPhone to control my Xbox.

  10. Re:Advertisements even after paying yearly! on Xbox Originator: "Stupid, Stupid Xbox!!" · · Score: 1

    Not disagreeing about the advertising, but I see specials almost every day where you can get XBox Live for $36/year.

  11. Re:Who owns the asteroid? on Earth-buzzing Asteroid Would Be Worth $195B If We Could Catch It · · Score: 1

    Once it's on the planet, regular laws would apply. I'd imagine a very close parallel is that you can't just go out and start robbing fishing boats.

  12. Re:Oh, the irony! on Apple Said To Be Working On a 'Watch-Like Device' · · Score: 1

    I work for power attorneys and captains of industry. Nobody really gives a shit anymore. It's all about how you carry yourself. If you look at your watch during a meeting, it is just as bad as looking at your cell phone. In reality, my clients are looking at their phones whenever an email or call pops in. But then, they're paying.

  13. Re:Speaking of "Smear Campaigns"... on MS Targets Google With Another Smear Campaign · · Score: 1

    Someone has to pay for it and I'm mature enough to realize that. I pay for iCloud and there are no ads in the webmail version of it. I don't pay for Gmail and it provides very inobtrusive ads that are at least relevant.

  14. Here's something the USPS should provide. on US Postal Service Discontinuing Saturday Mail Delivery · · Score: 1

    Imagine a private messaging network like Apple's iMessage or Blackberry's BBMessage, but with the added legal protections and reliability you get by sending something through the post office. I don't think anyone except the USPS can even offer something like that.

    My friends and I all use iMessage since we all have iPhones, but a cross platform service would be better. No, not SMS, something that works across the internet and is accessible on all devices.

  15. Re:new tvs can "run" netflix and amazon on OUYA Android Game Console Available In June · · Score: 1

    Not all televisions have built in apps and I prefer models that don't have them for cost and flexibility. Plus, I've already spent thousands of dollars on screens.

  16. Re:Ouya was more relevant, before. on OUYA Android Game Console Available In June · · Score: 1

    I was going to get another Roku box for the bedroom. If this can run Netflix and Amazon, I'll put my living room Roku in the bedroom and put a Ouya in the living room for the added benefit of games.

  17. Re:seriously on Leaked: Obama's Rules For Assassinating American Citizens · · Score: 1

    Reddit. And you get the added benefit of pictures of cats, dogs, ducks, sloths, rabbits, and a few other animals giving you helpful advice.

  18. Re:Horribly Unfair on HR Departments Tell Equifax Your Entire Salary History · · Score: 1

    Uhm, you can openly discuss your salary with anyone you want.

  19. Re:Balance on RIM Unveils BlackBerry 10, Its Big Turnaround Hope · · Score: 1

    We have a byod policy for smartphones and use Good as the platform for managing the wall between personal and business data. It is available for both Android and iOS. It's basically a standalone email/contacts/calendar app that VPN's back to the server for all of its information. It is a bit slower than having your corporate email tied into the iPhone's mail app, but better from a security perspective.

  20. Re:Technological masturbation on Arch GNU/Linux Ported To Run On the FreeBSD Kernel · · Score: 1

    It's something the developers can put on their resume. And that is the real value.

  21. Re:Odd choice of name.... on Meet "Ophelia," Dell's Plan To Reinvent Itself · · Score: 1

    I think of "Little Red Bunny" and get oddly turned on by this new computer.

  22. Re:And still no death penalty for rape on Anonymous Helps Find Evidence In Gang Rape Case · · Score: 1

    I'd bet that the next big thing in a few years will be "social justice": Anonymous + bitcoin = assassinations.

  23. I hear this complaint now and then, but the fact of the matter is that New York used to be a shit hole in decline before it got gentrified. I avoid Times Square because of the foot traffic, but when I do pass through, I don't feel like I'm in any danger. In any case, that entire area was going to be razed and replaced with cold, soul-less office buildings if not for some folks who wanted to keep the area looking just about the same.

  24. Re:Am I the only one who prefers "dumb" TVs anymor on Zero Day Hole In Samsung Smart TVs Could Have TV Watching You · · Score: 2

    And you can keep the ATSC tuner, as well. I just want what amounts to a gigantic computer monitor.

  25. Re:You are not Nintendo's target market on Hackers Discover Wii U's Processor Design and Clock Speed · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the mouse is considered kind of a popular cheat to make FPS games easier for some people.
