  1. Re:Alternate browsers available? for how long? on NY Post Goes App-Only For iPad Users · · Score: 1

    For the forseable future. It's been in app store for a couple years. They are using an official, apple documented, API to spoof the string.

    No harm, no foul.

  2. Re:Games on Linux means the end of the MS Empire on Microsoft Brands WebGL a 'Harmful' Technology · · Score: 2, Informative

    The business world keeps Microsoft in power, not gamers.

  3. Re:Wow on Using Crowdsourcing To Identify Vancouver Rioters · · Score: 2

    Way to be close-minded, idiot.

    I've played and liked sports since I was little. I'm neither stupid nor violent.

  4. Re:cue nonsensical partisan response... on Vivek Kundra Quits As Federal CIO · · Score: 0

    No, but it shows the need for less comments like yours.

  5. Re:Data plan cost the same on Unlocked iPhones in US For $649 · · Score: 1

    Tracfone is both CDMA and GSM based, according to what model you get. That said, I think that Tracfone SIM card are tied to a particular IMEI, so they can't be moved out of the phone they are bought with.

    Not 100% positive.

  6. Re:This is a Complete Non Story on Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union · · Score: 1

    You can start a union anonymously. A job I worked at did and it was a small company with around 15 people. I know who started it, but the employer never did.

    The employees voted it down.

  7. Re:not too bad on Mozilla MemShrink Set To Fix Firefox Memory · · Score: 1

    435mb currently. One tab open to slashdot, on OS X, and no plugins installed. It's about the same (+/- 50mb) on Windows 7.

    It has been open for about 6 hours.

  8. Re:Implicated? Yeah, and then what. on Research Suggests Tobacco Companies Add Weight Loss Drugs · · Score: 3, Informative

    My family got paid a huge amount (by the government) to sell the rights to our tobacco base. Since it's sold, no one else can lease or use the base. In case anyone isn't aware of what tobacco base is, you can only grow tobacco on a small percentage of your farmable land. If you don't wish to grow any, you can lease your base to another farmer. They grow it on their own land but pay you a percentage for allowing them the use of your base. They lease a lot of base so they can have a sizable crop.

    Even we we did grow tobacco, we never got any subsidies, at least directly. It was damn profitable on its own.

  9. Re:We are Anonymous. on Three Arrested For Sony/Egypt Hacks · · Score: 1

    You are not legion, you're a semi-organized group of idiots. Shut up.

  10. Re:Silverlight is a windows/ie only thing on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    I use Silverlight in Firefox on my Mac and it works just fine.

  11. Re:Bootable media on Apple WWDC: iOS 5, Lion, iCloud · · Score: 1

    Yes, you can restore from Time Machine using a Snow Leopard disc.

  12. Re:Not surprising on PLA Develops First Person Shooter With US Troops as Targets · · Score: 2

    Battlefield 2 was created by DICE and distributed by EA, not the U.S. government.

  13. Re:Cool on Neuromancer Movie Deal Moving Forward · · Score: 1

    Off topic and most likely trolling, but I have to admit I have a hard time getting into fiction as well.

    What fiction I do read is the classics; Hemingway, Dickens, etc. Never could get into sci-fi or related genre.

  14. Re:i like my coffee with caffeine on Gliese 581d Confirmed as 'Habitable' Exoplanet · · Score: 1

    I can easily say it all taste awful. I don't drink coffee because it taste like bile. Gussy it up with cream, sugar or anything you want and it still taste awful.

    It doesn't bother me since I'm not a caffeine addict. Aside from what naturally appears in foods, I don't consume it at all.

  15. Re:Electric grid primitive? Compared to what? on Marking 125 Years Since the Great Gauge Change · · Score: 1

    You will hard pressed to find 110v at any outlet. Most utilities have raised the voltage to ~120v. Myself, in the midwest, have not had a power outage lasting more than a couple minutes in at least a decade. The California power problems are not repesentative of the U.S.

  16. Re:ClearOS easily does this. on Ask Slashdot: How To Monitor Your Own Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 2

    Not only that, but it will constantly pull 100w+ vs the ~10w that a router will use!

  17. Re:Not nearly as bad... on The Great Firewall of Europe · · Score: 3, Insightful

    We have moved to more ridiculous terms like "cloud" and "web 2.0".

  18. Re:Yay on Amazon Outage Shows Limits of Failover 'Zones' · · Score: 1

    No need to have a sinking feeling, it's always been that way. The "Cloud" is a buzzword, nothing more, nothing less.

  19. Re:Because it's Silverlight... on Microsoft Celebrates Feynman 50-year Anniversary · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes it does, and it works just fine on my copy of firefox running on os x.

  20. Re:Diet change on A "Throne" Fit For a Tech King · · Score: 1

    Agreed. I don't sit on the toilet any longer than I have to, which works out to be a minute or two.

  21. Re:As fanbois queue in the dark, Jobs makes millio on Jesse Jackson, Jr. Pins US Job Losses On iPad · · Score: -1

    Mod up please.

  22. Re:can you hack the iphone / ipad to run windows 8 on Windows Already Up and Running On ARM Architecture · · Score: 1

    Wow, no more posting when I'm half asleep! :/

    Except that is Android does run on iOS hardware, good point.

  24. Re:I wonder how many gigs of ram I'll need on Firefox 5 Scheduled For June 21 Release · · Score: 1

    My firefox 4 experience on OS X. Freshly opened, no extensions installed, 1 tab open browsing slashdot.

  25. This hurts GeoHot on Anonymous Launches Attack On Sony · · Score: 2

    I don't own a single Sony branded product and likely never will, but this sad temper-tantrum that so-called Anonymous is throwing is doing nothing to help GeoHot and everything to hurt him. Lets not do anything, like stop buying their products or telling your friends why they shouldn't be buying them. Let's just egg their house instead!

    This isn't the kind of people I want on my side during a court case of the this magnitude. DOSS attacks are for the lazy.
