  1. What do YOU need. on Ask Slashdot: What Does the FOSS Community Currently Need? · · Score: 2

    What are we missing.... while its easy to ask what we need, what ever you've found lacking in the past is the best place for you to start.

  5. Re:Let Me Explain on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Get My Spouse To Start Gaming With Me? · · Score: 1

    Ok, now it makes a bit more sense.

    My wife actually tells me to go play games some times. It does our relationship good to be apart some times too. She goes shopping, I stay in and play some games.

    Granted I don't have kids *yet* and I know they'll eat some of our time together/alone however I currently can't imagine everything becoming so needy I have no time at all.

  6. You don't.... on Ask Slashdot: How Do I Get My Spouse To Start Gaming With Me? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Either she'll game differently/better than you and you'll regret it.

    Or all your time becomes gaming time when your together and you don't end up enjoying it.

  7. Re:Why do we need flexible phones? on Researchers Develop Solid But Flexible Electrolyte For Bendable Batteries · · Score: 1

    If they don't shatter when you drop them, I can see that being a plus for many people..... however its not for me. I don't drop my stuff :D

    Oh and its a NSD ball. The simple one with the lcd (I liked seeing how fast I could get it).

    Yes it helped me. :/

    Uhoh we are on fire, where can we land?

  12. Re:Is there a way to use this to install Linux? on Windows RT Jailbroken To Run Third-Party Desktop Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Theoretically you could run some kind of shell on there, so yes, you could run android or linux, but it'd still be running within windows.

    And yes, you'd need to flip this bit each time you booted.

    What is more interesting is the fact you maybe able to completely rewrite the whole thing; getting rid of windows entirely...

    Have you attempted to raise any bugs, give any indication of what device your using or anything you've tried? No?

    I'm all for MS bashing (see previous comments :D) however spoutting utter shit like this without any facts is 1. expected on slashdot, 2. unhelpful to everyone other than trolls.

  14. The RasPI is all about... on Raspberry Pi vs. Cheap Android Dongle: Embarrassment of (Cheap) Riches · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Connectivity.

    The GPIO pins and everything else. It was never about a super low cost computing platform, its simply shown the manufacturers that such an item would sell like hotcakes, if produced for the low enough price.

  15. Re:Sick leaves on Stay Home When You're Sick! · · Score: 1

    Some doctors can do phone appointments, that'd work from home.

    Plumbers?....... aren't those the guys who fix my internet pipes right?

    Sales people, depending on the type of sales, may work from home too. (Sales assistants on the other hand - shop workers... well yeah - and guess who comes into contact with the dirty general public the most?!)

  19. I block scripts.... on AdTrap Aims To Block All Internet Advertising In Hardware · · Score: 1

    but not ad's.

    They really don't bother me as long as they aren't all flashing in my face style.

    Have people really become so useless at ignoring shiny flashing things that they MUST look at the adverts, and then click them?... If a site so is bad the adverts are offputting I stop using it.

    On slashdot I rarely see ad's as they let me turn them off :D

    Someone mod this up.

    Step 1. Hand them a jpeg
    Step 2. Ask them for PSD with layers intact.
    Step 3. Inspect each peice in turn as you'd expect a teacher to do anyway instead of bitching how the project she's handed out takes her too long to mark.

  22. Really.... She has to MARK EACH PIECE? on Ask Slashdot: How To Catch Photoshop Plagiarism? · · Score: 1

    ZOMG.

    Teacher complains she must examine each students work in turn.

    1. get a new job
    2. give the students something actually creative to do and ask them to show how they did it.
