  1. Re:Original iPads Work Well ... on iPad Fever Is Officially Cooling · · Score: 2

    Same for old 15" MacBook Pro from 2008, 19.5" Sharp CRT TV from 1996, VCR from dotcom days, Windows XP Pro. from 2002, IDE/PATA HDDs, analog bone conduction hearing aid model designed from 1994, Casio Data Bank 150 calculator watch, etc. They all still work decently for me. Slow, yes but still usable. :)

  2. Re:On, to Mars! on NASA Chief Tells the Critics of Exploration Plan: "Get Over It" · · Score: 1

    Fom Star Trek, where are our warp speeds, shuttle crafts, transporters, phaser guns, aliens (e.g., Orions and Vulcans), etc.? :P

  3. Re:Why I won't use Ultraviolet ... on How Much Data Plan Bandwidth Is Wasted By DRM? · · Score: 2

    Has anyone figured out howto remove these annoying DRMs from UV, Amazon, Apple, etc. yet?

  4. Re:Real problem was law letting the networks charg on Aereo To SCOTUS: Shut Us Down and You Shut Down Cloud Storage · · Score: 1

    Analog is better in where I live because I can still watch TV even if it is not clear. With digital, I just get drop outs. Basically, you get it or none. :(

  5. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 1

    But they have seasons that are discounted instead of buying per episode.

  6. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 1

    Amazon and iTunes let you download with their software.

  7. Re:openWRT runs, without wireless on WRT54G Successor Falls Flat On Promises · · Score: 1

    My old WRT54GL still works well. I don't need the newer fancy models until mine dies. :)

  8. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 1

    I rarely watch. What about new episodes that were recently aired? Also, downloads (no streaming)?

  9. Re:Winamp on Groove Basin: Quest For the Ultimate Music Player · · Score: 1

    Same here. I did not like XMMS2 thing.

  10. Re:Winamp on Groove Basin: Quest For the Ultimate Music Player · · Score: 1

    In Linux and Mac OS X? :P

  11. Re:Milk that cow! on Netflix Plans To Raise Prices By "$1 or $2 a Month" · · Score: 1

    I wished Netflix had the latest episodes and on demand payments (no subscriptions) like Amazon, iTunes, etc.

  12. Re:Is it really much more than goes on already? on Eyes Over Compton: How Police Spied On a Whole City · · Score: 1

    We're watching you right now. ;)

  13. Re:Animal rights? on NYC's 19th-Century Horse Carriages Spawn Weird, Truck-Size Electric Car · · Score: 0

    It's = It is. You're welcome. :P

  14. Re:Server farm in Iowa. Who knew! on Microsoft Plans $1 Billion Server Farm In Iowa · · Score: 1

    I read that as Internet is for com! :P

  15. Re:But do you want it? on Bookies Predict the Future of Tech · · Score: 1

    I want smart watches (no mobile phone required) and driverless cars (ready to be used and I am disabled -- it should be safe as KITT!) only.

  16. Re:I switched from sitting to standing. on Switching From Sitting To Standing At Your Desk · · Score: 1

    Ah nice. I don't like sitting on high chairs. :(

  17. Re:Government picking favorites on Bidding At FCC TV Spectrum Auction May Be Restricted For Large Carriers · · Score: 1

    Then, how come I can't get some channels perfectly (some drop outs) that are about 20 miles away when I can with analog (not perfect clear though, but viewable)?

  18. Re:Government picking favorites on Bidding At FCC TV Spectrum Auction May Be Restricted For Large Carriers · · Score: 1

    Nope, others and I were able to watch and hear unclear pictures OTA on TV compared to digital.

  19. Re:Walking yes, standing no. on Switching From Sitting To Standing At Your Desk · · Score: 1

    How about a treadmill type?

  20. Re:I switched from sitting to standing. on Switching From Sitting To Standing At Your Desk · · Score: 1

    Is it easy and quick to adjust the vertical levels if one were to sit and stand a lot?

  21. Re:Government picking favorites on Bidding At FCC TV Spectrum Auction May Be Restricted For Large Carriers · · Score: 1

    But some people have issues with digital OTA. When it is not strong, picture/audio drops out and unwatchable. With analog, one can still watch even if not clear. Digital is either you get it or not.

  22. Which direction? on The Best Way To Watch the "Blood Moon" Tonight · · Score: 1

    I cannot seem to find which direction it is? North? East? West? South? I hope to see it from east of L.A. with its light pollutions. :(

  23. Re:Tmux on Seven Habits of Highly Effective Unix Admins · · Score: 1

    I still like the plain old screen. I don't need the fancy splits, status bars, etc. If I wanted more than one screens, I run separate commands. I have had screen crash before even though very rare. I would hate to see tmux crash all my sessions.

  24. Q3A on Navy Debuts New Railgun That Launches Shells at Mach 7 · · Score: 1

    I was expecting Quake 3 Arena's railgun type. :/

  25. Re:If only there was an update tool from xp to win on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 1

    Too messy to do OS upgrades. It's better to do clean installs and then go from there even if it is tedious. However, drivers are a problem.
