  1. Re:Wrong article linked in summary on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    I dunno but I'd like to see the title corrected. I've never seen it written as "LiOn" before, always "Li-Ion" or "Lithium-Ion".

  2. Re:10X on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    More importantly, will they be X10 compatible?

  3. Re:Better Place on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    I like the idea but it makes you dependent on them plus you need to live/work at driving distance of one of their station.

  4. Re:Increased Lion capacity on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: 1

    Lion doesn't have Rosetta, so I can't upgrade either because of one single application. I won't say which one but it's from a company which name starts with "Adob".

  5. Re:what is it for? on Raspberry Pi PCB Layout Revealed · · Score: 1

    Three words: Tiny, low-cost, MAME.

  6. Re:Repeat much? on Raspberry Pi PCB Layout Revealed · · Score: 2

    Pick up an AVR and code in C. Not even an ATmega, start with an ATtiny. And to push things even further, I would suggest the ATtiny85 instead of the ATtiny861.

  7. Re:Suprising on Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    You mean holding it in portrait (vertical) instead of landscape (horizontal)?

  8. Re:What is going on down there? on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1

    Lobbying used to be called bribery. Just because you have laws doesn't make those laws right. As an random example, see: slavery.

  9. Re:Need FlashBlock for HTML5 on Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    Slashdot is not a good example of how a website should be coded.

  10. Re:Need FlashBlock for HTML5 on Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community · · Score: 1

    If a website requires javascript for the content, navigation or layout, it's not coded properly. There should be built-in fallbacks to regular, non-scripted HTML.

  11. Re:My predictions... on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 2

    The hacker will manage to hack into the heart of the TARDIS by guessing its password, which will be "TARDIS".

    Wait, that's way too obvious, even for the USA market. Let's make the password "SIDRAT".

  12. Re:I Doubt It'll Make The Translation on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 2

    I think the radio version of Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy is much better than the old BBC TV version.

  13. Re:already ruined on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 1

    Where's the "+1, Sad but true" mod?

  14. Re:Suprising on Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community · · Score: 2

    If you have to develop in HTML5 for the mobile platforms and HTML5 is also supported on the desktop, why would you waste time making something in Flash?

  15. Re:Need FlashBlock for HTML5 on Adobe To Donate Flex SDK To Open Source Community · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure. It's called "disable javascript" and it's already built-in all browsers worth using.

  16. Re:Cue Kurzweil... on Intel's 4004 Microprocessor Turns 40 · · Score: 2

    We'll be in 2051.

  17. Re:Don't count on it on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 1

    I read that as Z86 because I'm used to read Z80...

    Has any company ever used decreasing numbers to indicate a new product?

  18. Depends on the time on Report on Web-Surfing Speeds Finds Pervasive Throttling · · Score: 4, Informative

    My ISP clearly states that they throttle P2P and Torrent protocols if necessary. After midnight, there's less people using their connection, hence less throttling.

  19. Re:Totally surprised. on Cray Replaces IBM To Build $188M Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    What year is this? Is it still time to buy AAPL shares at 8$USD?

  20. Re:Don't count on it on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 2

    I've got a Z80 right here. I can't imagine how fast a Z68 must be!

    Did they finally break that 65536 bytes barrier?

  21. Re:DOH ! on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 1

    So the target market is those filthy movie pirates?

    Next up: the MPAA demands 50% of Intel's profits!

  22. Re:Mac Pro? on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 1

    It's it's a 10-years-old "Mac Pro", chances are that it's a Power Mac G4. Even a 2010 Mac mini can easily beat that, apart from the hard drives.

    If you go from using a PowerMac G4 to even a current day Mac Pro, even the low-end Quad-Core model is going to seem ludicrously fast by comparison.

  23. Re:I wonder... on Scientists Develop Super-Slippery Material · · Score: 1

    Actually, all you need to do is survive the end of this universe, wait for the reboot and then wait until the insurance company is back and then you can collect your insurance.

  24. Re:Simpler approach on Scientists Develop Super-Slippery Material · · Score: 3, Informative

    Here's another tip: don't put regular plastic containers in the microwave.
