  1. Re:Efficiency Features on Browser Power Consumption Compared · · Score: 1

    Efficiency (is greater than) Features.

    Since when could slashdot not show a greater than symbol?

  2. Efficiency Features on Browser Power Consumption Compared · · Score: 1

    At least at this point in my computing; I'm all for low power consumption computers that are small and quiet.

    That said, as far as browsers, I run Chrome.

  3. Re:DDoS Attack Imminent on ISP's War On BitTorrent Hits World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    Please keep your 4chan, anon, worthless shit on /b/. You and Anonymous are a waste of packets.

  4. Re:The information is already collected by emissio on US Contemplating 'Vehicle Miles Traveled' Tax · · Score: 1

    Emission testing is on a county by county basis here (Indiana). My county doesn't have testing.

  5. Re:So ... on Carriers Delay Paying Japan's Texting Donations · · Score: 1

    DOS attacks are the lowest form of internet protest.

  6. Re:GPL is the problem on Apple Remove Samba From OS X 10.7 Because of GPLv3 · · Score: 2

    Claiming someone is a paid shill because they disagree with you is the lamest way to lose an argument.

  7. Re:Not Surprised on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    You can still get the unlimited medianet plan (if you're on a dumbphone). AT&T won't let you use/keep it with a smartphone, well an iphone at least.

    It's $15 for unlimited or $10 if you have unlimited messaging.

  8. Re:Not Surprised on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    The 2gb data plan is cheaper than unlimited. $25 for 2gb, $15 for 200mb or $30 for unlimited.

    If you get a tethering plan, it's 4gb for $45.

  9. Re:Wait on Visa To Offer Person-To-Person Payments · · Score: 1

    A Visa (or Mastercard) debit card.

  10. Re:How about glass on Pepsi Moving To Bottles Made of Plant Material · · Score: 2

    Don't recycle it, wash and re-use it.

  11. Re:Wait for it... on In Virginia, Delivering Broadband To the Customers Big Telecom Forgot · · Score: 4, Informative

    Verizon sued a local WISP service where I live (very rural southern Indiana), and they lost. That was around 2004. The company now covers the county.

    Verizon (now Frontier) put in DSL a few years later.

  12. 4chan and facebook are both wrong. on Poole To Zuckerberg: You’re Doing It Wrong · · Score: 0

    They are different at ends of the spectrum, but too much of either is bad. 4chan is worthless, plain and simple (that includes so-called Anonymous). Facebook is a not worthless, but abuses what they have/know.

    Much like politics, you never want someone too far right or too far left.

  13. Re:Why not DRM? on Cutting Prices Is the Only Way To Stop Piracy · · Score: 1

    I'm jail-broken and don't have a single pirated app installed.

  14. Re:Looks to be just a bug on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    Nor is the writer of this article capable of saying that apple intentionally handcuffed webapps from the home screen.

    How does the writer know if Apple did it on purpose?

  15. Re:Redundancy and good planning. on Net Sees Earthquake Damage, Routes Around It · · Score: 3, Insightful

    These are two characteristics the human race is not known for.

    Fixed.

  16. Re:I think Google is a good company after all on Google Draws Fire From Congress · · Score: 1

    Don't click - Links to goatse.

  17. Re: JavaScript the fastest feature that is turned on First Look At Chrome 10 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Almost everyone uses it. Few enjoy it.

  18. Re:I'll switch on Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead · · Score: 1

    I'm not saying IE6 is not a problem, it is. The poster was referring running w2k as the problem because it no longer receives security updates from Microsoft.

    As I stated, you can secure a operating system that no long has manufacture support.

  19. Re:I'll switch on Even Microsoft Wants IE6 Dead · · Score: 2

    If it's firewalled, has an updated antivirus and a secure browser, does it really matter? I have an older laptop with w2k on it, not a problem at all.

  20. Still waiting on lower prices.... on Intel SSD 510 Series 6Gbps SATA Drives Tested · · Score: 2

    I haven't spent over $100 for a hard drive in years and I'm not going to start because it's an SSD.

  22. Re:Download Your Profile on Ask Slashdot: Facebook Archiving? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Most camera phones (at least any iphone and any android device) can upload pics directly to Facebook. Never saving a copy on the device and certainly not syncing with a computer.

    Like or not, mornon or not, it can and does happen.

  23. Re:Laws should be made to address actions on 'Spam King' Released From Prison, Now Lives In Seattle · · Score: 1

    Snail-mail spam is paid for, by the companies sending out said mail. Spammers don't, they hijack.

  24. Re:Bandwidth for Face Time on Hands On With Apple IPad 2 · · Score: 1

    I've read, and from I've seen myself, that facetime on the iphone 4 uses about 4mb/min (2mb/min up and 2mb/min down).

  25. Re:Even my Nook comes with a replaceable HD card s on IPad 2 33% Thinner, 2x Faster, iOS 4.3 · · Score: 0

    The difference between a toy and a tool is how you use it.
