  1. Re:RHEL on Ask Slashdot: Best Linux Distro For Computational Cluster? · · Score: -1

    so true. I hate using rhel.

  2. more slimy facebook pr firm smear work? on 35 Million Google Profiles Collected · · Score: 4, Insightful
  3. Re:Roku wants your credit card info on Are Streaming Media Players a Passing Fad · · Score: 1

    most credit cards offer a service where they will give you a temp credit card number with a set limit that expires in a couple days. I have used it for stuff like this, everyone is happy (including those that don't know the credit card info they have is useless).

  4. they spent all that money on bluray security on Sony Suffers Yet More Security Breaches · · Score: 1

    Good to see their failure to correctly prioritize who is important (the actual Customer) is beginning to cause them problems.

  5. Re:music on Amazon and Itunes has no DRM on Major Release of Miro Aims to Compete With iTunes · · Score: 1

    I just started using Miro and love it. Am stuck with a ipod though so I have been saving the files to a folder, deleting my library from itunes, and letting it resync with the files so I can sync the ipod. If Miro starts syncing to the ipod I will drop itunes all together. Also a real bulk export feature that does not require files to be converted is needed for Miro.

  6. Re:if you have a PC you don't need a console on Microsoft Promo: a PC and Xbox In Every Dorm Room · · Score: 1

    haha, you mean like worrying if your credit card information has been stolen or how to fix the red ring of death. People thinking consoles are easier have just bought into having the wool pulled over their eyes.

  7. if you have a PC you don't need a console on Microsoft Promo: a PC and Xbox In Every Dorm Room · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I guess you could sell the xbox and use the money to buy games for the PC.

  8. Re:This Is Indifference on Firmware Troubles For Old Xbox 360s, Possibly PS3s As Well · · Score: 1

    There is, it is called a Gaming PC.

  9. obama wants to be reelected on New Bill Ups Punishment For Hosts of Infringing Video Streams · · Score: 1

    don't give money when they call and indicate that this is a reason why. On election day don't vote for him and only vote for people that actually represent you.

  10. these kinds of arguments are very entertaining on Fable III Dev: Used Game Sales More Costly Than Piracy · · Score: 1

    this guy from lionhead is trying to convince his bosses that their game did not sell because it was terrible, it is because of some boogieman out there they have little control of.

  11. all that effort spent on bluray security on PSN Up, And Then Down Again · · Score: 1

    and the shocking bad security for their actual paying Customers. Tells me all I need to know about who they are worried about taking care of. I will never buy a sony product again.

  12. better point is why Big Corps pay no taxes on Jeff Bezos Calls Sales Tax Requirements On Amazon Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    why is there this blinding need to put more tax burden on regular people when huge corporations like GE, Goldman Sachs, and Exxon are making record profits and paying no taxes.

  13. Re:Netflix on Netflix Dominates North American Internet · · Score: -1

    you miss the entire reason Netflix is successful. They give what the Customer wants (control over what they watch and how they watch it), not what some middle manager wants to make his internet throughput look good.

  14. Re:The Wallet on US Congress Tries To Cut Body Scanner Funding · · Score: 1

    you do realize there are reports all the time of people "accidentally" bring knives and weapons through tsa security. I have also heard about reports that the tsa's own red team has a really high success rate of getting guns through checkpoints. Waving hands to make people feel safe is more dangerous than doing nothing. The naked scanners and other stupid policies like confiscating toe nail clippers needs to be ended. Then money saved can be used for real security.

  15. Re:in Israel on US Congress Tries To Cut Body Scanner Funding · · Score: 1

    nobody wants to live like the israelis. israelis also build bomb shelters in their homes and live in fear. No thanks.

  16. Dems and the GOP need to support this on US Congress Tries To Cut Body Scanner Funding · · Score: 1

    wasteful spending on these naked scanners that don't do anything needs to be cut from the budget. Sad it is even being discussed.

  17. end this kind of crap now that bin laden is dead on Baby's First TSA Patdown · · Score: 2

    America is safe so the tsa needs to have their budget slashed and these draconian measured ended. The US is suppose to be free right?

  18. sony should give Gaming PCs on Ask Slashdot: How Should Sony Compensate PSN Users? · · Score: 1

    all the good things people use to say about consoles are just not true.

  19. in balance processes can save lots of time / bugs on Is Process Killing the Software Industry? · · Score: 1

    sure you can over do lot of these practices, but I find that I spend less time fixing bugs when I do them. There is certainly a balance and diminishing returns though.

  20. Re:The death of Middle Management on I Like My IT Budget Tight and My Developers Stupid · · Score: 1

    reading this reminds me of the phrase "too many chiefs and not enough indians". Where I use to work they got rid of all the people that actually did work and kept all the middle managers. Then they all freaked out when nothing got done.

  21. Re:Drudge: Site Design from 1997 on Drudge Generates More News Traffic Than Social Media · · Score: 0

    only if you count conservative propaganda as news.

  22. Re:Comcast isn't a monopoly everywhere on Netflix CEO Hesitant To Fight Cable · · Score: 1

    so your solution is to do nothing?

  23. Re:Don't get too excited on Draft Proposal Would Create Agency To Tax Cars By the Mile · · Score: 1

    correct, the house is too busy not passing any job bills.

  24. now the US can slash defense spending on Osama Bin Laden Reported Dead, Body In US Hands · · Score: 1

    no need to have wars in iraq and afghanistan now that America is safe.

  25. copyright fascism is not copyright reform on Wikileaks Says Public Forced Canadian DMCA Delay · · Score: 1

    they should at least start calling it what it is.
