  1. Re:Xbox and Windows CE? on Apple Devices To Outsell Windows For First Time Ever In 2013 · · Score: 2

    Yes indeed. All Windows devices vs all Apple devices. Not Mac OS devices.

  2. For the most part on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Electrostatic Contamination? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    For the most part I find that only devices that have forced air cooling, aka fans, have issues with dust. And in those cases it is defiantly a good idea to clean them out regularly as overheating is defiantly an issue with enough dust accumulation. You would be amazed the amount of dust that will accumulate in a PC, even after a few years. In the case of computer cases you can get filters that help a lot however you need to make sure you clean the filters out or you will just be making the situation worse.

  3. Re:Prices will come down? Hah! on The End Is Near for GameStop · · Score: 1

    Just look at steam. It is a perfect example of what will happen to game prices once the developers are getting their fair share. The prices will be higher when they come out but plummet soon after when the next best thing gets released. And most importantly, the developers are still getting their cut.

  4. Good By... on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    ..And thanks for all the fish... You will be missed

  5. Productivity would increase on How Much Does Your Work Depend on the Internet? · · Score: 1

    If the internet went down. Everything we use is hosted internally, so all it would do is cut down on people browsing instead of working.

  6. w3 compliance on Do You Care if Your Website is W3C Compliant? · · Score: 1

    I have always valued w3 compliance in my web applications. Though some browser companies may choose to not be w3 compliant, at least I know that my pages are set to the standard and will work in browsers that adhere to them.
    I always display the w3 validate tag on my sites.

  7. Re:No there's MySpace on Do Kids Still Program? · · Score: 4, Funny

    When the WoW goes down you hear a moan shoot through the whole campus.

  8. Re:Less challenges on the moon? on US Plans Lunar Motel · · Score: 1

    I was thinking about that after my post. I would think you would face the same problem on mars. At least on the moon there would be the possibility of rescue or repair. In days rather than months that is.

  9. Re:Less challenges on the moon? on US Plans Lunar Motel · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That and corrosion damage. On the moon you would not have to worry about the base rusting.

  10. Pretty soon... on Song Sites Face Legal Crackdown · · Score: 1

    Your going to need to license a song in order to have it stuck in your head.

  11. Im an... on Why Students Are Leaving Engineering · · Score: 1

    engineering major, give me a cookie.

  12. Re:dupe!! on How Computers Work -- Circa 1979 · · Score: 1

    Im looking at this, and im thinking, damn, I read too much slashdot to recognize a dupe from so long ago

  13. Re:Will there always be an alternative? on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    I hate people who criticize peoples spelling/grammar and can't be assed to use proper spelling/grammar when they do it. Please die.

  14. Re:Will there always be an alternative? on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    I compleatly agree.
    I have been TV free for about two years. I get all my news from online and in newspapers(Imagine that, I READ to LEARN!)

  15. Re:So how is this going to kill fair use? on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 1

    Meh, I read it in TMF. You all seem so sure that this thing will take, I have my doubts. My belief is that the DVR market has been saturated long enough that enough people will be happy enough with their tivo and their twc ppv that they wont be able to compete. How can they convince TW to switch from their $0.95 SA boxed to these hunks-o-junks.

  16. So how is this going to kill fair use? on Intel Cutting Linux Out of Content Market · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yes DRM is evil. I choose not to buy this machine. I am saved. End of story... This guy sounds like a doomsday fanatic to me.

  17. Ah, yet another way to loose american jobs. on The House Building Machine · · Score: 1

    Pretty soon there will be more houses then people that are above the poverty level and can afford the.
