  1. Re:Um...that's the whole idea? on Facebook Tracks the Status Updates and Messages You Don't Write Too · · Score: 1

    Google helpfully archived those for you. There is stuff I posted back in the 90's on usenet that I thought would be long gone, that google can still find.

  2. Re:Get offa my lawn! on Over 20% of Online Black Friday Sales Came From Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    I only used the PC, as I only have a work supplied blackberry, and I decided not to buy anything. I suppose I need to order a couple of gifts this week though.

  3. Re:Warranties on SSD Manufacturer OCZ Preparing For Bankruptcy · · Score: 3, Interesting

    No problems with warranty service on our Toshiba CT scanners.

  4. Re:So this must be the commercial advertisement on SnapChat Turns Down $3 Billion Offer From Facebook · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It's not like this guy is doing God's work. It was a class assignment that happened to take off. Sell the damn thing to facebook, let them destroy it, and use the money anyway you want. Blackjack and hookers or starving Ethiopians, what ever.

  5. Re:great way to calibrate a polygraph on US Gov't Circulates Watch List of Buyers of Polygraph Training Materials · · Score: 2

    FYI, they ask that shortly after the 'what's your name' type questions.

    "Who is your daddy and what does he do?"

  6. Re: Nepotism on You're Only As Hirable As Your Google+ Circles · · Score: 1

    And if they don't use those social connectivity tools, what do you do?

  7. Re:Robots to kill moon jellyfish on Unmanned 'Terminator' Robots Kill Jellyfish · · Score: 1

    The moon is an alabaster retard.

  8. Re:Link broken? on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 2

    After checking in IE, it is borked as well. I am guessing a bit of tracking code, etc, is being blocked by the ironport here at work. No issue with the old page though.

  9. Re:Link broken? on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 2

    I got the link in an email, went to it, and the site is broken for me. It did the same thing when they did the alpha as well. I sent them a screen shot.

  10. Re:FIRST POST on Boeing Turning Old F-16s Into Unmanned Drones · · Score: 1

    I agree. I don't know what the story is as they have been doing this with old fighters for decades.

  11. Re:Hopefully VoLTE will make this even bigger on Mobile Virtual Networks Are Booming Again · · Score: 1

    Just went from P-Tel (used to be Sprint CDMA now is T-Mobile GSM) to Ecomobile (Sprint). T-Mobile has virtually no coverage on their own equipment in my state, so I had to find another MVNO. Thought of trying a Verizon or AT&T MVNO, but I know that Verizon's coverage at my house is crap. Ecomobile's rates are pretty much the same as P-Tel's though. Talk 5/min, Text 2/text, Data 10/mb, MMS 10/mms.
    Works great for someone that uses the phone as a phone, and not as an internet terminal.

  12. Which is it? on Open Source Mapping Software Shows Every Traffic Death On Earth · · Score: 1

    RoadSkill or RoadsKill? PetSmart or PetsMart? ExpertSexchange or ExpertsExchange?

  13. Re:I can't imagine bringing out a "new" magazine.. on Omni Magazine To Reboot · · Score: 1

    Wired is still around? Really, not being snotty, I thought they were long gone.

  14. Re:In my country... on How Are You Celebrating National Sysadmin Day? · · Score: 2

    Most of the sysadmins that I work with don't use twitter and/or facebook.

  15. Re:serious problem on Microsoft Slashes Prices On Surface · · Score: 1

    I ended up uninstalling Xbox music because it would stop playing while I was playing my own mp3 files. I can understand that if I were streaming, but I wasn't.

  16. Re:The option is not removed. on Firefox 23 Makes JavaScript Obligatory · · Score: 1

    Yep, confirmed, javascript.enabled;true is still there. Also, noscript works fine on 23.

  17. Re:Google Voice is amazing on Is Google Voice Doomed To Be 2nd-Class Messaging System? · · Score: 1

    Yep, this the only thing I use Google Voice for. I usually get the gist of the message.
    But not with this one.." Hey Jess is out a lease it down in in the mammals on the whole lot aquatic early so I'm putting the 8 grandchildren that synchronization park. So, just curious. Thanks. "

  18. Re:Fifth Element on Backyard Brains Shows You How to Remote Control a Cockroach (Video) · · Score: 1

    First thing I thought of when I read the summary.

  19. Re:Same as last time on No, the Tesla Model S Doesn't Pollute More Than an SUV · · Score: 1

    I drive a 300hp car, and keep the cruise control right around the speed limit. That way I average 21 mpg on my daily commute.

  20. Re:Apple interview on Eric Schmidt: Google Will Continue Investing In UK Even If Taxes Raised · · Score: 2

  21. Re:WebOS on Google's House of Cards · · Score: 2

    That doesn't work they way you think it works. They have tons more information on you they don't show. Just because you have search history off doesn't mean they don't have it. It only means they don't show it to you.

    Concerning WebOS. My wife tried android on her HP touchpad and promptly went back to WebOS. She probably uses the touchpad more than her desktop.

  22. Re:Youtube? on Records Labels Prepare Massive 'Pirate Site' Domain Blocking Blitz · · Score: 2

    Yeah.. I was looking for a digital version of some ancient vinyl I have. It's pretty obscure and never released on CD. I found half the tracks from album on youtube.

  23. Re:Even more vendor lockin on Google I/O 2013 Underway: Watch For Updates · · Score: 1

    The real lock in is a G+ account. I am guessing they hope people will sign up for G+ so they can chat. I am guessing that most that are not on G+ won't bother.

  24. Youtube? on Records Labels Prepare Massive 'Pirate Site' Domain Blocking Blitz · · Score: 2

    I think they will have a hell of a time domain-blocking YouTube. It's trivial to grab all kinds of stuff there.

  25. Re:Better Choice! on Campaign Raises Funds To Send Wikipedia Readers To Kids Without Internet · · Score: 1

    I already did the hack to the wikireader a few years ago.
