This is exactly why I don't visit digg anymore, it's horrible.
Slashdot is not a place for the tablet, big icon, lots of video, huge witespace, lets make it simple for the idiots CRAP that is being pushed as webdesign today. This is the internet not a damn magazine.
Make the fonts smaller! Takes too damn long to scroll through the articles to see the information.
Give me the option of turning off ALL images on articles.
Speaking of options, where the hell are they? Where are the slashboxes? Where do I set the option to not display my e-mail address? Where do I set it to always show link domains? Where do I set my time and date format? Where do I set the threashold on comments?
OMFG who's the idiot who seup the thread view for comments?
I don't come to slashdot for video, big images or big whitespace.
I come to slashdot for information, quick easy read information.
WTF is wrong with people today?
Don't they teach you how to read in school?/agree stayoffmylawn.slashdot.org
For me being able to care for my own system is important also. If it breaks I like being able to choose if I upgrade or replace. Being in control is important that's why I like Gentoo.
Price?
From my research to get a console, which only plays games. It would cost me 300+ $ (American) to buy new. To buy a PC which does more then just play games. It would cost me 500+ to buy new. (A bit more then basic) I built my own power gameing system for 1500$.
Gameplay?
For me I learned games on the PC I know the mouse/keyboard Human Interface Device (HID). I've not played many console game systems, I know they have custom controllers for the HID. The only console I tried that was intuitive to me in the least was the WII.
PC's have more buttons and button combinations. Plus they come with full keyboard, note: consoles now can have keyboards also.
I compiled GAIM on System one with distccd running on system one and two, also compiled with just distccd running on system one.
I found that with both systems running distccd I got about a two minute faster compile. Then with just distccd running on system one.
With distccd running on just system one I found that it would process many of the individual compiles in parallel ah-la SMP, thing is it's a single processor system. I've not tested the time on system one of distccd vs no distccd. I imagine that with the parallel compiles it works faster. It all depends on what you set your -jN to, where N is the number of "systems" X2 +1. I found that with two systems I could run well with a -j of 7. A bit higher then suggested.
It is correct that many programs that have sensitive builds, XFree and Opera for example, it turns off the -j option. Not a big deal, just means a longer coffee break.
Distccd has come in very handy when I was installing Gentoo on an old Gateway 2100 Solo laptop. The laptop only has a Pentium 120 and 40 Megs of memory.
I'd suggest distcc for anyone who does quite a bit of source builds, a must for a Gentoo install!

Sure I don't get into black holes, I'm mildly interested in nanotech, and I'm sick of anime. However usually that's news, this looks to me like someone who doesn't know how to use technical support. The linux community has thousands of places where something like this can be solved, usually very quickly.
I've become more and more disappointed by/. lately. It appears to me that much of the spark that was once/. is gone. There are more and more articles posted that have less then ten comments. Is it the articles? Is it that posters are getting arthritis? Is it the job hunt that takes so much time? IMHO/. is running out of steam. Too many of the articles are of little or no interest to the community.

The microphone turns on when you first turn on the TV to listen to initial commands, then it turns off.
I have a Samsung UHD tv, I declined the voice TOS hope that's enough.
Check your static IP address for both forward and reverse DNS.

You've got to be kidding me.

Stability?
How often does a game console crash? PC?

I've got two Gentoo systems that run distccd.
I did some non-scientific testing with distcc.
System one:
Athalon 1400 XP
512 Meg RAM
System two:
Pentium III 450
512 Meg RAM
I compiled GAIM on System one with distccd running on system one and two, also compiled with just distccd running on system one.
