  1. news for nerds on Egyptian President Overthrown, Constitution Suspended · · Score: -1, Troll

    yeah thats right baby

  2. Re:If you need it you are doing it wrong. on LibreOffice Calc Set To Get GPU Powered Boost From AMD · · Score: 1

    Yeah we said this about gpu rendering of the UI as well....

  3. Re:New Coke was a Flop? on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    yeah from now on, you have to sign on to outlook.com to access the start menu!

  4. Re:He's not lying on Former FBI Agent: All Digital Communications Stored By US Gov't · · Score: 1

    crime without punishment ? that is an acceptable risk for many.

  5. Re:I suspect their simulation is flawed on Cracked Game Released To Get Back At Pirates · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This should be the perfect release: solid title legacy, cheap, no drm, demoversions, free advertising trough pirate networks, complete with slashdot coverage and everything. Kudos. Would probably buy if i was into the Tycoon series.

  6. Re:hehehehe on Cracked Game Released To Get Back At Pirates · · Score: 1

    The X-series (a space sim using the TAGES antipiracy scheme) will make the physics engine fuck up ever so slightly so you cant dock your ship anywhere without crashing + alot of other fun stuff.

  7. Re:Some other relevant stories on Crowdsourcing Failed In Boston Bombing Aftermath · · Score: 1

    nah, nobody on reddit can take a joke harder than a chunk of diarhea. slashdot has a more sturdy psyche and doesnt arbitrarily delete comments and accounts because someone has their feelings hurt

  8. Re:Wasn't It As Much Individual Photog & ID? on Boston Police Chief: Facial Recognition Tech Didn't Help Find Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    Oh fuck off, troll, the private market is not mature enough to handle real issues like health and education. Let the free market control the local burger joint that's fine, but not real stuff.

  9. slowpoke on Taking the Pain Out of Debugging With Live Programming · · Score: 1

    Hah, this techinque is called PHP+println() and is not new by any means. I programmed PHP live with 50-100 clients ready to kill me if i clicked Ctrl-S a bit too early. Noobs.

  10. Re:Wish I had a mod point for you. on Valve Starts Publishing Packages For Its Own Linux Distribution · · Score: 2

    Did people forget that the whole reason people read about tech is to navigate away from stuff that seems like a problem, and go for the stuff that works ? Who the hell reads what they write about Win8 and then actually installs it after ? Nobody blames anyone from steering away from broken cpu architechtures and bad gfx cards that they read about. Who made it a sin to do the same with Win8 ?

  11. Re:Don't carry one on Ask Slashdot: How To Stay Ahead of Phone Tracking ? · · Score: 1

    To disable the GSM module you have to enter a code on the dial. It does need a battery, obviously, so the only way is to take it out.

  12. Re:Discovery and limitations on Why All the Higgs Hate? It's a 'Vanilla' Boson · · Score: 1

    The Universe has clearly shown the possibility of breaking c. Inflation and spooky action comes to mind. We just need to harness it. Don't be such a party pooper. And need I remind you that the Universe came into existence from fucking nothing (as far as we know) ? We have barely scratched the surface of C.

  15. Re:Remember... on Shuttleworth On Ubuntu Community Drama · · Score: 1

    Ubuntu HAD that power before they went full retard. Canonicial are now riding out the last waves of Ubuntu success before Mint will rise. And when Ubuntu dies, guess what, Mint thought of that too with their Debian project.

  16. Re:He side-steps the issue, confronts a bigger one on Shuttleworth On Ubuntu Community Drama · · Score: -1, Troll

    'very vocal few' what a douche.

  17. Re:disappointed... on Doctor Who's Dalek Designer Dies At 84 · · Score: 1

    I mean cheap, as the burping trash can in the first episode, and all the other gags that would fit better in a high school theatre. I do enjoy Red Dwarf, for instance, because it doesn't try to be "quirky" (the new word for shows that aren't up to snuff) , it just was that way, before 'quirky' was cool. British humour are top class, don't get me wrong. But this is not funny. And don't get me started on US prime time shows, it is the benchmark of fail. (the sitcoms anyway). If any of your favourite shows has a laughter box in it, you are fail too.

  18. disappointed... on Doctor Who's Dalek Designer Dies At 84 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I've seen most scifi, but Dr.Who escaped me until recently. Judging from the hype and fanboism, I was expecting something like BSG, but it turned out to be cheap, low budget British tea-time soap. Shit, it's worse than Eureka, if possible.

  19. Re:Retailers went too far on The End Is Near for GameStop · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the pirate problem has already been solved. Citation: Diablo 3. The always-on feature on the new consoles will stream fucking client-code from server, man. This will leak over to applications when the retarded console gamers has beta-tested this technology well enough to go for the enterprise. Check mate pirates. And check mate, publishers. IT sector depression alert. Now comes the time when the pirates will be proven right, finally. Because when they realize that piracy is actually free advertising, you will see this PIPA/SOPA/OMGA/WTFA/LOLWUT crap disappear like fucking morning dew.

  20. can someone explain this holy war? on Evil, Almost Full Vim Implementation In Emacs, Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    nothing is like a good holy war, and thats pretty much why i've been following the vi/emacs threads for years without actually trying any of them for more than 2 seconds. the doctors said i stabbed myself with my bare hands in both cases. so what is the difference between these editors anyway ? except for having weird key combos?

  21. Re:"Real GB" or "marketing GB"? on When 1 GB Is Really 0.9313 Gigabytes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    SI is irrelevant in this case, because it obviously does not meet the physical reality of a RAM chip. Some things are just not a multiple of 10, get over it.

    lol you are just about to finish your degree, right ?

  23. Re:Who will recycle the sensors? on Parcel Sensor Knows When Your Delivery Has Been Dropped · · Score: 1

    i wonder if this is a scenario for small vibration powered devices, it should be possible to charge a small capacitor to power an RFID chip, storing the G-forces at work when the device is powered on by said vibration.

  24. Re:And for those with a normal... on Xbox 720 Could Require Always-On Connection, Lock Out Used Games · · Score: 1

    This is outrageous. this cant be true. Retail sales people are going to get killed over this. Personally I have almost stopped buying games due to DRM like Steam. I have 'the best' internet connection possible, and i still have network issues couple of times a month. nothing huge, but enough to kill an 'always on' feature. Sometimes the router just needs a restart, sometimes my ISP changes my IP, or restart their DNS service (seems like it at least), or firmware update the router. there are any number of reasons to lose a connection. And while my connection is ok most of the time, Steam and similar crap always has some issues as well. Their random outages + my random outages = too damn high frustration rate for a casual gamer. I have absolutely *ZERO TOLERANCE* for faulty products. (any product that does not work when i decide it should)

  25. Re:Is this a joke? on Paper On Conspiratorial Thinking Invokes Conspiratorial Thinking · · Score: 1

    It is absolutely a get out of jail for free card. And this points out the phenomenon of 'non-conspirational conspiracy' where a pattern of individual behaviour, when scaled up, effectively becomes said conspiration, only nobody knows. How these individual patterns arise, is another discussion.
