  1. Re:Eat meat ffs on Impossible Burgers' Key, Bloody Ingredient Wins FDA Approval (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's easily available from bacterial cultures and that's where b12 supplements have been coming from since I think at least the 70s.

  2. Spectrum availability on Will the T-Mobile, Sprint Merger Be Bad For Consumers? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    As a long time happy Tmobile customer, I'm looking forward to their increased spectrum availability with this merger. It puts them on more even ground with Verizon and AT&T.

  3. It has been the better option for something like 10 years now. I really don't get why people like VLC.

  4. Who's still even using it? on BitTorrent To Refocus On What Made It Rich - uTorrent (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Hasn't everybody moved onto qbittorrent by now anyway? Kind of late to focus on utorrent, didn't most people ditch it a long time ago for something better?

  5. Re:Stock ROMs are shit on Do Android Users Still Use Custom Roms? (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    So you pick a good rom..... Custom kernals, etc, are not overkill. They can take a phone that barely lasts a day to three days.

  6. Sultan's Rom on Do Android Users Still Use Custom Roms? (androidauthority.com) · · Score: 1

    You bet your ass they do. I've NEVER run a stock rom for more than a couple weeks. Here's my plug for the oneplus phones. You can pry sultan's rom out of my cold dead hands.

  7. Re:really... on Carbon Dating Shows Koran May Predate Muhammad · · Score: 1

    There are two. View of the Hebrews and The Late War. Both are covered pretty well in the Letter to a CES director.

  8. Re:Not really fair on How Today's Low-Power X86 & ARM CPUs Compare To Intel's Old NetBurst CPUs · · Score: 1

    I still have mine. It was so cool to have back in the day that I just can't get rid of it.

  9. Re:Xmission? on When the NSA Shows Up At Your Internet Company · · Score: 1

    That's the very first thing I thought of.

    "Safer from what" Data loss. I don't know how you missed this.

    Have you looked at how healthcare works in this country?

    Or you can just press alt-f4 while on the desktop, just like you could with windows 7.

  13. Re:Win8 Experience on Windows 8 Killing PC Sales · · Score: 1

    if you press alt F4 while in desktop mode with nothing else highlighted it brings up the shutdown/reset menu. Why you "had" to make desktop shortcuts to do that is just ignorance.

  14. Re:no surprise there on Can a New GPU Rejuvenate a 5 Year Old Gaming PC? · · Score: 1

    it's 6 core. I'm thinking you had a hit of placebo, a 920 and 990 aren't that far apart performance wise on anything but handbrake (and stuff like that). for games they'll be about the same.

  15. Re:so all those people weren't crazy on US Air Force's 1950s Supersonic Flying Saucer Declassified · · Score: 1

    that's obviously the FSM. The noodly appendages are clear.

  16. Re:slashdotted on How Indie Devs Made an 1,800-Player Action Game Mod In Their Spare Time · · Score: 1

    They ended up still doing a test this weekend. I played for 4-5 hours Yesterday. It's VERY fun.

  17. my observations about this on Skilled Readers Recognize Words By Shape · · Score: 1

    I've noticed this since about third grade. I can read faster (by a lot usually) than pretty much everybody I ever encounter. However, if I'm reading a book and two or more characters have names that "look" like each other, it seriously messes me up. That and spelling was very difficult before spell checkers came about. I can tell that something is spelled wrong because it looks off, but can't sound out how to actually spell it. Also, reading out loud was VERY painful for me all through school and even now I avoid it at all costs. So reading quickly came with a few downsides. It's still awesome to blow through pretty large books in less than a day though.

  18. Re:Unprofessional on GOG.com Not Really Gone · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except I hadn't actually downloaded them yet. I mostly bought them as a show of support for a DRM free company that was bringing back old games. It was MOO 1 and 2. I just liked knowing I had them out there when I wanted them. I've also since bought the same games on steam, when they later came there. Guess where I can download them from RIGHT NOW if I wanted. This is what makes me less likely to buy from them in the future.

  19. Unprofessional on GOG.com Not Really Gone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I only have 2 games from them, but this kind of weird drama does make me less likely to purchase anymore in the future. It just seemed super unprofessional compared to steam and impulse.
