  1. Re:Good grief! on A Shocking Amount of E-Waste Recycling Is a Complete Sham (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    We apologise for the faults in the summary. Those responsible have been sacked.

  2. Re:what a joke? on Microsoft Unveils $37 Nokia 216 Feature Phone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple did it first.

  3. Re:FF49, still a pig on Firefox 49 Arrives With Improvements (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    This seems to be the key, Firefox seems to have memory leaks on OS X but not on other platforms.

  4. SanDisk press release on SanDisk's 1TB SD Card Aims To Solve Your Storage Problems (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Link to the actual press release instead of the ZDnet whoring link.

  5. Re:This is my shocked face on China Confirms Its Space Station Is Falling Back to Earth (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess they sold it on eBay, because it comes with free shipping.

  6. Re:They've always cried wolf on It Took a Couple Decades, But the Music Business Looks Like It's Okay Again (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    One of the RIAA slaves group, I mean music band, even made a song about it.

  7. Re:YouTube Red is Dead? on Google Chrome Beta For Android Now Lets You Play YouTube In the Background (techtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And all this time, I thought YouTube Red was a shell company created to absorb all the deficits.

  8. There's also a lot of CNC router, laser cutters and 3D printer videos where people point the camera on their machine to see the whole process and then don't even bother to show us the finished item at the end.

  9. Re:Not fixing the underlying cause on Google Chrome Beta For Android Now Lets You Play YouTube In the Background (techtimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Because playing a video in a background where 90% of the downloaded data is wasted is not a problem...

    Well, if it's not a problem then why are you even mentioning it?

  10. Could someone explain the internet to him?

    The internet is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think your shiny new N.A.S. has a huge storage capacity, but that's just peanuts to The internet.

  12. That's a typo you misread. It was supposed to be "5 quid" and without the space you read that as "squid".

  13. It's an english deer?

    Signed,

  14. Re: WTF is a quid? on Valve Bans Developer From Steam After It Sues Customers Over Bad Reviews (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Ah, I know that place. All my computer RAM is made there.

  15. A pound? A pound of what?

  16. OMG, LOL IKR? WTF is TFS and TFA?

  17. Why aren't techies improving the World? on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't Techies Improving The World? · · Score: 1

    Q: Why aren't techies improving the World?
    A: Patents, copyrights, lawyers, money.

    Not necessarily in that order.

  18. Simple, by adding the lag it takes for the signal to reach Earth, multiplied by the number of oxygen molecules between the satellite and the receiver, divided by the square root of of double the radius of the satellite. Let cook for 15 minutes and add salt to taste.

  19. Re:Goodbye Quality on Logitech Buys Saitek (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    I never replaced the switches themselves and they're Omron. And I've used this mouse for gaming as well as for desktop use, daily.

    Maybe it's the design of the hardware that puts a different stress on the switches in your Trackman Wheel?

  20. Re:Goodbye Quality on Logitech Buys Saitek (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Now mice, that's a different story. Logitech makes a good basic mouse. I've got a few that are 10+ year old laser mice that still work just fine.

    I still use my Logitech M-BA47. I've been using that mouse since I bought it. And apart from needing to fix the left button because the switch plunger was eating into the button leg inside, and cleaning it once in a while, it still works just fine too.

  21. Re:Crude but funny on 28 Years A Smeghead: Red Dwarf Is Coming Back (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    When in doubt, add more duct tape.

  22. Re:Smeg on 28 Years A Smeghead: Red Dwarf Is Coming Back (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, yes, we know. 42. But what's the real question?

  23. Don't be an idiot. You don't need a recipe to boil water, but you do need a good freezer.

  24. Re:Nice, can you do it for your other phones too? on Samsung To Push Software Upgrade Which Will Cap Galaxy Note 7 Battery Charging at 60 Percent (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Didn't we see an article about exactly that a few days ago? A company talked about not allowing Lio-Ion batteries to charge to 100% to increase their longevity?

    Forcing a shutdown when the batteries are at 10% would probably help too, but there's the fact that cellphones can be used in case of emergencies so it's probably not a good idea.

    Why would Bill be ineligible to serve as VP? Because he's a sax addict?
