  1. What about the ones you signed up for? on When Opting Out of Ad Tracking Doesn't Opt You Out · · Score: 1

    Like mailing lists. Still don't do it? :(

  2. Re:Already said... on Facebook 'Stalker' Tool Uses Graph Search For Data Mining · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's scary. I registered for a brand new account. Facebook only has my e-mail address and name, but they already had connections to people I know. How the heck? I wished I could know more how it has connections to others. Did people name me? I asked people through other communication means, and they said no. WTF? With my fake accounts, I do not see anyone. It's scary! :(

  3. Re:Another reason not to fly (unless you HAVE to) on Redesigned Seats Let Airlines Squeeze In More Passengers · · Score: 1

    Ditto, but it sucks going over oceans, across countries, etc. I wished we had (tele/trans)porters now. :(

  4. Re:You'll pry Windows 95 from my cold dead hands! on Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · · Score: 1

    Windows 3.x weren't that good IMO. 8.11 would be basically like 8.0 and 8.1. Yawn. :P

  5. Re:Extremely variable sleeping periods on Sleep Is the Ultimate Brainwasher · · Score: 1

    What about ants? "Ants never sleep." --Ralph Waldo Emerson, poet. Sleep is overrated. :P

  6. Assume any providers can sniff your connections. on Researchers Show Apple Can Read iMessages · · Score: 1

    Secured or not. Encrypted data have to be decrypted somewhere. :(

  7. Re:Win8 as a UI vs. an OS on Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · · Score: 1
  8. Re:Google WTF are you doing? on Google To Support Windows XP Longer Than Microsoft · · Score: 1

    And sometimes fourth Tuesday of the month. Once in a while, out of bound!

  9. Re:Why mention only old versions? on Security Researchers Want To Fully Audit Truecrypt · · Score: 1

    Also, it came out on 2/7/2012. No recent updates? It also asks for donations on the web site. Is it low on budget?

  10. Re:Product vs. Customer on Facebook May Dislike the Social Fixer Extension, but Many Users Love It (Video) · · Score: 2

    FYI, it's = it is. ;)

  11. Re:RANT: it's not internet access on Google Fiber Partially Reverses Server Ban · · Score: 1

    Tell to residential Internet services like cable and DSL companies.

  12. Re:Raspberry Pi to the rescue! on NSA Scraping Buddy Lists and Address Books From Live Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Uh, NSA can do dial-up phone lines and check snail mails too.

  13. Watch documentaries then! on Gravity: Can Film Ever Get the Science Right? · · Score: 1

    Those are usually accurate! :P

  14. Re:Slashdot sinking to new lows on Nokia Design Guru Urges Apple To End Cable Chaos · · Score: 1

    I call your wife to do mine. :P

  15. Re:People Still Use Cable? on Netflix Pursues Cable-TV Deals · · Score: 1

    But some of us want the latest seasons and episodes, and live sports! Also, I am waiting for Netflix to have a downloadable copies (bandwidth and stability sucks for streaming for me) and non-subscription payments like Amazon, iTunes, etc.

  16. Re:Gamepad vs Joystick on The Game Controllers That Shaped the Way We Play · · Score: 1

    Ditto. Especially when it had one or two buttons! I can't use those fancy joysticks and gamepads. I am OK with clicky big keyboards and mice. I just don't like holding controllers due to my disabilities. :(

  17. Re:Hell freezes over. on Irony: iPhone 5S Users Reporting Blue Screen of Death · · Score: 1

    Well... Linux has the black screen, beep, with blinking keyboard lights. ;)

  18. Re:You wouldn't... on Would You Secure Personal Data With DRM Tools? · · Score: 1

    I'd download a car. :P

  19. HL3 & BF5! on Battlefield Director: Linux Only Needs One 'Killer' Game To Explode · · Score: 1

    DICE's BF Director = BF5

    SteamOS = HL3, Portal 3, and TF3 like The Orange Box (The Penguin Box?). ;)

  20. Re:Tell me about... on A Teletherapy Startup Removes Barriers To Mental Health Care · · Score: 1

    Is there an IRC version?

  21. The one that came with MSI ATI Radeon 4870? on AMD Intentionally Added Artificial Limitations To Their HDMI Adapters · · Score: 1

    Does it have this restriction? I have not used it yet since I don't own a HDTV yet.

  22. Re:Missing the reality of what kids do to insects on Cyborg Cockroach Sparks Ethics Debate · · Score: 1

    Why ask why?

  23. Re:Yo dawg on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 1

    I don't badly want one, but it is something I would like to get to replace my old Casio calculator watches (Data Bank (DB) 150). I am disabled so I cannot use the phones, hold one correctly, etc. I mostly use the Internet for its online communications.

  24. Re:Yo dawg on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 1

    USA. So I can use any phone carriers with their data and phone plans?

  25. Re:Yo dawg on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 1

    Perfect. I wished they had these in local stores to see and try.
