  1. Do you think... on Amazon.com Suffers Outage: Nearly $5M Down the Drain? · · Score: 3, Funny

    They'll just stay open an extra hour to make up for it???

  2. Re:To the googles! on Ask Slashdot: Recording Business Meeting Audio On an Intranet? · · Score: 2

    I know you were being a smart ass, but that Marantz (result #2) is a nice unit.

  3. Too Late on Ask Slashdot: How To Clean Up My Work Computer Before I Leave? · · Score: 1

    If you have 10 years worth of stuff on a Win 7 box maybe your company is using roaming profiles and you've just been upgraded over the years. In which case, you're too late. They already have a copy of your profile on their servers and probably a decent number of backups.

    It's been said here already, but it is a company computer and they have rights to all information on it. It was probably in the IT policy that you signed when you started. But that policy should cover the IT department as well and prevent them from using your personal data maliciously. Has your IT staff given you reason to fear them?

  4. Re:Neither do Android phones on Know What Time It Is? Your Medical Device Doesn't · · Score: 3, Funny

    Oh noes!!! My android phone will make me 15 seconds early to any appointment!!!! I must therefore dump it and become and apple fanboy.

  5. It doesn't say... on Another Raspberry Pi? $49 ARM Single-Board Computer With Android · · Score: 1

    but I assume "PC" and VIA mean x86?

  6. Re:Meh on Expect Hundreds of Thunderbolt Devices, Says Intel · · Score: 1

    What self-respecting PC user is going to buy thunderbolt cables from apple?

  7. Re:Should have been titled "ssh basics". on Getting the Most Out of SSH · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'd never used tmux. i've officially learned more from /. comments than the actual articles. Thanks!

  8. I guess when they crash... on The Pirate Bay Plans Servers In the Sky · · Score: 4, Funny

    they really *crash*.

  9. so... on Startram — Maglev Train To Low Earth Orbit · · Score: 2

    a rail gun you can ride?

  10. Re:Meth heads on The Recycling of the Tevatron · · Score: 2

    Yeah, cause meth heads won't get stopped by the 24hr security guards at each entrance or stopped by security near the restricted access roads. It's not abandoned, just off.

    They do have buffalo on the grounds that you can go see, but they warn you at the gate that you can't just go anywhere.

  11. Re:DIY black hole on The Recycling of the Tevatron · · Score: 1

    Great! I live next door. (Seriously)

  13. Re:"Linux Command Line Tirckery" HA! on Windows 8 Features With Linux Antecedents · · Score: 1

    But why would you want to do that? That's not usually how any software is distributed for Linux. Honestly, I can't think of the last time I had to mount an ISO for anything other than grabbing some .exe or .msi file to install on a windows instance somewhere. But that was quickly replaced with VMware's mount ISO option.

  14. Re:"Linux Command Line Tirckery" HA! on Windows 8 Features With Linux Antecedents · · Score: 3

    What? I can mount an ISO in F14 and GNOME with a right click. How is that not easy?

  15. umm.. on Electric Tron Lightcycle Hits the Streets · · Score: 1

    that looks really uncomfortable

    happens in linux too, if you forget to add intr to your nfs mount command.....

  17. geez on Feds Discover 1,000 More Government Data Centers · · Score: 1

    From the way the headline reads, you'd think they went on some sort of archeological exploration or something.

  18. lala on Ping Could Be Apple's Social Networking Backdoor? · · Score: 1

    Isn't this what lala.com was?

  19. "forced" upgrades on Why Mobile Innovation Outpaces PC Innovation · · Score: 1

    The mobile manufacturers know that most people refresh their phones as soon as the contract is up and if there aren't "new and improved" features for the new lineup of phones, they are going to be left behind.

    I also doubt intel is intentionally "allowing hardware innovation to stagnate"

  20. the article will be updated soon on Physicists Do What Einstein Thought Impossible · · Score: 1

    heisenberg compensator sounds so much better than laser chopsticks.

  21. Re:Modem Box on The Hard Drive Is Inside the Computer · · Score: 1
