  1. Re:A simple solution on FCC Orders Comcast To Stop Labeling Equipment Rental a Service Fee · · Score: 1

    You can subscribe and watch sports from MLB, NHL, NBA, etc. Although, blackouts suck.

  2. Re:Guarddog: on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    It totally was. :(

  3. Re:Why? Is it really necessary? on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    What if it is a portable machine and wants to use public wireless Internet? Also, what if (s)he wants to block outgoing connections and stuff which hardware firewalls can't do?

  4. LeopardFlower looks good, but... on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    "As of 2014-01-12, this project is no longer under active development." text. :(

    I like GuardDog, but it is no longer updated and doesn't work with the latest Debian/Linux's Kernels when I tried it a couple years ago. :(

  5. Re:Guarddog: on Ask Slashdot: User-Friendly Firewall For a Brand-New Linux User? · · Score: 1

    Because it is no longer updated. I used to use it too, but it doesn't work with the latest stable Debian and its Kernel versions. :(

    I want a stand alone smartwatch to replace my old school Casio Data Bank 150 watch. I don't want to use a mobile phone for it.

  10. Re:Don't expect it to be Cable on Ask Slashdot: Experiences With Free To Air Satellite TV? · · Score: 1

    Basically, we are better off with the over the air (OTA) local TV stations (100+ channels in Los Angeles (L.A.) areas!) than satellite TV for local broadcast stations and Internet assuming viewers have access to both. I read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F... and nothing really good interest me. :/ Adjusting dishes can be a pain and annoying. It is already bad enough for my antenna(s/e). :)

  11. Re:Auto play audio? on The Inside Story of Gmail On Its Tenth Anniversary · · Score: 1

    But do they have to do it on all stories? I wished there was a HTML5 media player blocker like FlashBlocker.

  12. Re:Offtopic - April 1st joke? on Threatened Pandemics and Laboratory Escapes: Self-fulfilling Prophecies · · Score: 2

    Yeah, it was annoying. Also, it was HTML5 media player so it wasn't blocked like Flashblock, Mozilla's addon on demand player, etc.

    I would do that if I knew how to code. :P

  22. Subscription and true HD... on Why Movie Streaming Services Are Unsatisfying — and Will Stay That Way · · Score: 1

    I rarely watch movies these days, so Netflix and other subscription based services wouldn't work for me. I do like Amazon's Video on Demand and iTunes services, but not everything is rental (why buy if I am only watch it once?), available, and in true HD. Also, Amazon doesn't let me download HD videos to play in Amazon Unbox (Windows only and buggy) to play locally (frak streaming with unstable and slow Internet connections).

    It is an embedded Windows XP. It's different from your normal Windows XP.
