  1. As a Bonsai artist on Pine Tree Has Largest Genome Ever Sequenced · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm not surprised. trees and plants were here before we were.

  2. Re:I know i'm going to get zapped by this but... on Controversial Torrent Streaming App 'Popcorn Time' Shuts Down, Then Gets Reborn · · Score: 1

    I think so but at the same time it reminds me of "old school" cable where people were buying the Mike Tyson fight and charging for it, i personally saw the Tyson and Holyfield fight (Tyson bit off his ear) and had to pay $20.00 for it and it lasted what? Fifteen seconds? Thank god the $20.00 paid for beer afterward.

    That seems to be the problem in my mind, the Companies concerned are not getting a cut of that revenue.

  3. I know i'm going to get zapped by this but... on Controversial Torrent Streaming App 'Popcorn Time' Shuts Down, Then Gets Reborn · · Score: 1, Interesting

    I found out about Popcorn time from Huffington post last week and used it 3 times. It was amazing. If you did not get the chance to see it then, too bad. Netflix sucks by comparison for something that lasted 4 day's.

    Now as for legality, I feel something might have been illegal about it (hehe) but i wish it were not. I am totally unashamed about what i did. It truly was something to see.

  4. Educated guess on What If the Next Presidential Limo Was a Tesla? · · Score: 1

    I feel the reason that the car will not be electric is that most Military vehicles can run on just about any fossil fuel available in case of emergencies or low fuel.

  5. William Gibson on New VR Game Makes You a "Hollywood Hacker" · · Score: 1

    William Gibson made true...

  6. Yes and No on Should Newsweek Have Outed Satoshi Nakamoto's Personal Details? · · Score: 1

    Yes and No but they made a mistake. DO you want folks showing up at your place?

  7. Re:Sci-Fi? on Ask Slashdot: Is Crowd Funding the Future of Sci-Fi? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Also, not even knowing what Dr. Who is? What the fuck is wrong with you?

    I think the original poster should turn in their Sci-Fi card.

  8. Unbelievable! And awesome! on Sinkhole Swallows 8 Vehicles Inside Bowling Green KY Corvette Museum · · Score: -1

    Awesome sauce..

  9. Valid on Inside the Electronic Frontier Foundation · · Score: 1

    My Karma is Excellent and is still have been getting them.

  11. LOC release on Smithsonian Releases 128-Year-Old Recording of Alexander Graham Bell · · Score: 1

    I'm a bit disappointed with the forum tonight. I have held a Reader card at LOC for years and it's funny folks would make fun of this discovery and release. :-(

  12. Re:Cooking books more worthy to be on Slashdot on An Instructo-Geek Reviews The 4-Hour Chef · · Score: 1

    I have all of the above books and being a chef as well, i'm going to watch this one argument play out.

    I would add that Julia Child and M.F.K. Fisher are great influences in the food scene.

    Nathan Mhyrvold is a great guy with the dough to pull off what he did with Modernist Cuisine.

    Mcghee's book is standard learning now.

    Anything by Cooks should be regarded as well done, they don't miss much if anything.

  13. Clean them or you can get problems! on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Electrostatic Contamination? · · Score: 1

    I use desktop a lot and i feel you have to blow them out (canned air) and check on them when you hear the fan whine a certain way. My machine runs quiet and it should but if you don't hear anything and you get a Blue/black screen then the fan is dead.

  14. Whew! on The Pirate Bay's 'Move' To Korea Was a Prank · · Score: 1

    Thank the Robolords for that!

  15. Re:To be fair. on Copyright Alert System To Launch Monday · · Score: 1

    So DSL will not be effected? This is something that concerns me a bit.

  16. Diamonds? on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    Can they take the waste and make Diamond/Zircon out of it?

    Just wondering.

  17. Re:American Wage Slaves are an Even Better Value on US CEO Says French Workers Have Three-Hour Work Day · · Score: 1

    WoW!

    I have no bad comment on what you said :-(

  18. Re:A planet or a dwarf planet? on Astronomers Find Planet Barely Larger Than Earth's Moon · · Score: 1

    Thank you for saying that!

    I was thinking the same thing.

  19. Re:Yes on What To Do When an Advised BIOS Upgrade Is Bad? · · Score: 1

    I filled out the warranty card and all of that. That is not the problem. They sent lame techs to fix the TV for free and all is well on that tip. I was using my situation for the situation that had to do with BIOS not a TV i apologize for any confusion.

  20. Re:Yes on What To Do When an Advised BIOS Upgrade Is Bad? · · Score: 1

    That is why the tech came to my place. Why don't you pay attention and stop trying (lamely) to pick a fight.

  21. Re:Yes on What To Do When an Advised BIOS Upgrade Is Bad? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This poster is correct. These companies need to be named so that other folks don't get screwed by them. Case in point i have a SAMSUNG 32 inch tv. It started turning itself on and off, so i called the company and found out they lost a class action suit and had to send a tech to your home to fix the problem. Hmm did SAMSUNG call me or even send a letter about this? NO. The SOB's need to be told on period!

  22. Are you sure? on FBI Dad's Misadventures With Spyware Exposed School Principal's Child Porn · · Score: 1

    I got mugged a long time ago in D.C. i had to learn Braile to be on the safe side. Not completely blind but blind enough to realise the situation.

  25. Being blind is fine on Implant Translates Written Words To Braille, Right On the Retina · · Score: 1

    I was legally blind for 2 years.

    I am fortunate to be able to see again.

    Think about how it feels to lose your sight.
