  1. Re:MoCA on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do With Old Coaxial Cable? · · Score: 1

    At that price ($106 each), It might actually be CHEAPER to run CAT6...

  2. Are there *ANY* HTML5-capable web browsers that run on Windows 95?

  3. While we're at it, "Don't ever take a computer to Geek Squad for repair".

    Their incentive is to reduce the number of people who calls Microsoft support with infected or bogged down machines.

    Haven't you heard? Microsoft actually CALLS YOU, and tells you that you have a virus!

  5. Re:Slack Desktop on Where's All My CPU and Memory Gone? The Answer: $5B Worth Slack App (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Your question is more appropriate than you think. I remember seeing commercials on TV for a new product called "Slack". It consisted of an office building populated by CGI anthropomorphic animals. The voice over was saying something about "when you have a creative idea and you want to get it to market as fast as possible"... It wasn't at all clear what Slack was or what it did. The office animals noticed rain clouds and then started to deliver umbrellas to the people on the street via parachute.

    Brilliant marketing.

  6. Way to understate it! on How Jony Ive Masterminded Apple's New Headquarters (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    You have seen those youtube videos where the drone does a flyover of the new campus. You get the feeling that this campus is huge, but yet able to be navigable and still look stylish, and the best thing that the designer can say is "It's nice"?

  7. If the factories are made by Apple, then the buildings will have tractor beams to catch the falling workers.

  8. You know, you still *AGE* while you're in a coma...

  9. Thanks to the integration of DRM in the HTML5 spec, now MLB actually *CAN* drop Adobe Flash...

    They should call it SPEEZE.

  11. Re:Look at Amazons Discussions website... on Amazon Jacked Up Prime Day Prices, Misleading Consumers, Says Vendor (foxbusiness.com) · · Score: 1

    I have experienced this exact thing. Fortunately, Amazon customer service is TOP NOTCH, and was willing to correct the errors to my complete satisfaction.

  12. The article even mentions that the "was" price on an item is collected from previous sales on Amazon ***AND OTHER RETAILERS***. I think this means that if *ANYONE* sold this $9.99 item for $20.00, then Amazon can use the $20.00 price as a "was" price.

    camelcamelcamel probably won't notice that....

    When I heard people say "Sears and Roebuck", I thought they were saying "Sears and Robot". Imagine my disappointment.

    You'll probably have to run it in WINE.

    I would agree with you, but I didn't buy Windows 10. It was a free upgrade for all my systems running Windows 7. I guess in that case, if Microsoft ever pulls a critical function of Windows 10 that I *ABSOLUTELY NEED*, I suppose I could wipe and reinstall Windows 7.

    Get a more *UNIQUE* one.

  17. "Waiting for his build to finish"? on Linus Torvalds Now Reviews Gadgets On Google+ (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    I would have thought that if anyone, Linus would have a fast enough system so he wouldn't HAVE to wait for his builds to finish.

    Then how do you pronounce it? Sue-Doo or Sue-Doh?

  19. Re:Linux. on Windows 10 Will Cut Off Devices With Older CPUs (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Linux is not immune to this problem either. Newer kernels are released, and all of a sudden, your video drivers don't work because they are binary blobs that the manufacturer doesn't support anymore. This forces you to continue to upgrade.

    Maybe microcode updates.

    What's worse is: Why have the ban if you're only going to implement it for a couple of months? Did they think that the terrorists were using frequent flyer miles that would expire?

    Tenda is the cheapest network equipment provider on the market. Even sales employees at MicroCenter say "You don't want that one".

    Why is it important that does not happen again? Nobody should get special treatment. Cops should not pull people over simply for driving black. Stop trying to treat the symptom and instead, treat the cause.

  25. Re:No it won't on Facial Recognition Could Be Coming To Police Body Cameras (defenseone.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't need a camera with face recognition to catch outstanding warrants. Just checking IDs will do that. That is currently standard practice.
