  1. We just put Windows 10 here at our business and the first thing I had to do was rip out half the operating system (thusly neutering it) and block them at the fire wall. All this in the name of simplicity and privacy. Microsoft. Stop your evil ways....

  2. CBS/Paramount? It isn't nice to mess with your fan base. Don't do this.

  3. So now Microsoft is stooping to vandalizing consumer electronics?

  4. Stupidity on 9th-Grader May Face Charges After Homemade Clock Mistaken For Bomb · · Score: 1

    Irvine High School appears to have some genuine stupid educators.

  5. Wonderful on Marijuana Legalized In Oregon, Alaska, and Washington DC · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I never in my lifetime expected to see this. It's about time

  6. So long. on After 47 Years, Computerworld Ceases Print Publication · · Score: 1

    I tend to read things while I'm on the toilet. Since I don't want to bring a tablet into the bathroom with me to read it in web form and risk dropping the tablet into the toilet, Computer World will not be on my reading list anymore.

  7. I do not know on Ask Slashdot: Communication With Locked-in Syndrome Patient? · · Score: 1

    I do not know how to answer your question and will not try. I replied only to wish you and your family my deepest sympathies.

  8. Re:Wrong concern on Don't Be a Server Hugger! (Video) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I like my data to not be in the hands of someone else. I don't want it examined, copied or accidently Googled. Fuck this Curtis Peterson

  9. Lots of things on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 5, Funny

    He deserves a full pardon, nobel prize, ignobal prize, several million dollars, some firm handshakes and "atta boys" and the job as CEO at Microsoft.

  10. I think it is a great idea on South Korean Court Rules That Phone Bloatware Must Be Deletable · · Score: 1

    This way I could get rid of all the stuff on my Android that Google wants me to have but will never use.

  11. Jriver? on Ask Slashdot: Suggestions For a Simple Media Server? · · Score: 1

    I like it. Maybe it would do what you need.

    Bring back Snapgear!

  13. Re:ZFS filesystem on Ask Slashdot: Practical Bitrot Detection For Backups? · · Score: 1

    Yep, ZFS

  14. Re:You are kidding right? on Ask Slashdot: Secure DropBox Alternative For a Small Business? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Try Owncloud or Ajaxplorer for your own cloud solution maybe.

  15. Difficult question on Ask slashdot: Which 100+ User Virtualization Solution Should I Use? · · Score: 1

    Asking this is much like asking 'which is the best linux distro'. You won't get one answer. What type of system are you most comfortable with operating? If it is Microsoft system (for example) you have already got you answer. Are you are looking for a bare-metal hypervisor? Do you need GUI-heavy management tools? What sort of hardware are you going to use (old/new?). Probably looking at a comparison chart would be your best option. I could tell you what I use and why but that won't do you a bit of good. (kvm, stable and easy).

  16. Khan on Review: Star Trek: Into Darkness · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yep. He was there.

  17. Should we write to the W3C? on What's Actually Wrong With DRM In HTML5? · · Score: 1

    If there is a coalition of 27 web freedom organizations that have sent a joint letter opposing DRM support, should we (Slashdot as an entity) also write them expressing our opposition?

  18. Re:That title has quite a spin on it. on RCMP Says Terror Plot Against Canadian Trains Thwarted · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So why can't they keep their mouths shut until they do? I can see if they got caught trying to get supplies or someone to help them but running off their mouths about their plans is just silly..

    For the same reason idiots post crimes they commit up on Facebook or Youtube.

  19. Another issue with MS on Windows: Not Doomed Yet · · Score: 1

    They have lost any sense of creativity and leadership. They now follow Apple and Linux which will kill them.

  20. News for nerds on Police Capture Second Marathon Bombing Suspect in Watertown, Mass. · · Score: 0

    Apparently we are running out of that for Slashdot

  21. Microsoft will not learn on Windows 8.1 May Restore Boot-To-Desktop, Start Button · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Microsoft will never learn no matter how much thier customer base screams and will alway assume they are doing things correctly and everyone else is wrong. Yes, they need to settle in on windows 7 and give up for a bit becase they can't do it right. Wouldn't hurt to fire some guy by the name of Ballmar either.

  22. Does this apply to only MP3? on Judge Rules That Resale of MP3s Violates Copyright Law · · Score: 1

    What about Flac and the other variety of formats that could be sold? This is a huge can of worms that no one will be able to bolt the lid on no matter what the judicial rulings are.

  23. Take care out there Voyager on Voyager 1 Officially Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You did really well.

  24. The local mental health department maybe? on Ask Slashdot: How To Donate Older Computers to Charity? · · Score: 1
