  1. Re:65 VW Bug on Ask Slashdot: Buying a Car That's Safe From Hackers? · · Score: 1

    Are there cars with manual transmissions that have push-to-start?

  2. Re:Played one, loved it. on Twenty Years Later, Nintendo's Virtual Boy Is Still an Oddity · · Score: 2

    Yeah, that tennis game was great. The bipod was fragile though and it never made sense to me why they made it battery powered when it wasn't very portable.

  3. RealVideo 56k on Crash-avoidance Tech Lets Drones Get Close Without Disaster · · Score: 1

    Is my connection just shitty today or is this video quality garbage?

  4. Re:How does this compare to radio? on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 1

    Weird. that didn't happen to me. https://imgur.com/7tWVgSU

  5. Re:Hmm, maybe on Sony Offers a "Premium Sound" SD Card For a Premium Price · · Score: 1

    Do we even know that these are being marketed to end users? Are these not just shielded memory cards?

  6. Re:ummm... on The Revolution Wasn't Televised: the Early Days of YouTube · · Score: 2, Interesting

    But video sucked in 1997 and it kept sucking until YouTube; if a random person wanted to share a video to a handful of people there really wasn't a good way of doing it. Realplayer was a client, not a distribution system, I remember downloading VideoCDs with FlashFXP off of questionable sites and getting binaries from usenet but it was shit compared to YouTube.

  7. Re:Really? on Tracking Down How Many (Or How Few) People Actively Use Google+ · · Score: 0

    No one uses G+

  8. Re: Hiding is not effective on Writers Say They Feel Censored By Surveillance · · Score: 1

    How deep of a search do you imagine at an airport screening though?

  9. Re: Hiding is not effective on Writers Say They Feel Censored By Surveillance · · Score: 1

    You can hide something and encrypt it but I thought we were talking about digital vs paper.

  10. Re:Travel with paper in U.S. on Writers Say They Feel Censored By Surveillance · · Score: 1

    It's a lot harder to find a document that's intentionally hidden though when it's in a computer. I remember hiding my porn when I lived at home a few subfolders deep in folders that looked tremendously boring by being vaguely technical.

  11. Re:One fiber to rule them... on Google Fiber's Latest FCC Filing: Comcast's Nightmare Come To Life · · Score: 2

    It's not just about the fiber, it's about the utility poles and whatnot.

  12. Re:What shape would you like on Sharp Developing LCD Screens In Almost Any Shape · · Score: 1

    The article implies this might be used mostly in cars.

  13. Re:I'm all for hating Comcast but... on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    No need to put words in my mouth or to get all histrionic and talk about rape. I didn't say it was the guy's fault, I said the company was shitty.

  14. Re:So, it has come to this. on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 2

    "right to work" is shit but there are limitations to why they can fire you.

  15. I'm all for hating Comcast but... on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    the whole being fired part has a lot to do with working for a shitty company, regardless of how "prestigious" it is.

  16. Re:Streisand Effect on Doctors To Patients: First, Do No Yelp Harm · · Score: 1

    So, NDAs must be invalid?

  17. Endless? on PayPal Demos Auto-Debit Gumball Machine · · Score: 1

    In the future your money will just slowly leak out of you?

  18. Re:Go for it on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    I've never had my phone fail due to an emergency... You must have a peril sensitive model.

  19. Re:So serious on Can Twitter and Facebook Deal With Their Dead? · · Score: 1

    I have a similar problem, the email address from my original account is no loner valid, and I'm stuck with this really stupid name that I must have made after some really heavy drinking.

  21. Re:Hasn't worked in the UK on "Phone In One Hand, Ticket In the Other" · · Score: 1

    When I see somebody holding a phone instead of driving, I call the police.

    Don't you think it's a bit dangerous to be monitoring people's cell phone usage and writing down their plate numbers instead of driving? And I'm sure you pull over before you pull out that pen, paper and phone, right?

  22. Re:Maybe Apple should pay their royalties first? on Apple Sues HTC For 20 Patent Violations In Phones · · Score: 1

    AT&T has sold HTC phones since it was Cingular, I had an 8125 before the switch.

  23. Re:See "warranty" on Calendar Bug Disables Older PlayStation 3 Models · · Score: 1

    All of these talks about suing Sony are fucking pathetic. They will fix this, they didn't mean to do this, it was a mistake, it will be resolved. They want you to keep buying games, they want the Sony brand to survive. This is not even as bad as the Zune dec 31 bug. There is nothing that points you out as a douchebag quite like screaming lawsuit every time there's a bug.

  24. Re:A full season in the snow on What Has Your Phone Survived? · · Score: 1

    same light scratches on the back, along with the "genius" telling me that he was going to replace the screen. though it would be obvious to anyone who owns an iphone that a complete backup and restore would take more than 10 minutes.

  25. Re:A full season in the snow on What Has Your Phone Survived? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Sorry, you're both wrong. It's the same iPhone and it was just the glass they replaced.
