  1. Re:Fuck bluray on 13 Years After DeCSS Case, Congressional IT Endorses VLC · · Score: 1

    Wow, I did not know drives and discs can be bricked like that. Is that a physical brick or something? Now, I really don't want a BR drive. I was waiting for software players to be ablet to play BR discs easily (no stupid hacking). I wonder if that is why Apple computers don't come with BR drives.

  2. WoW on Around 2,000 Fukushima Workers At Risk of Thyroid Cancer · · Score: 1

    WoW = World of Warcraft. :P

  3. Re:Enlightenment? Try Unawareness. on 13 Years After DeCSS Case, Congressional IT Endorses VLC · · Score: 1

    Can ANY software players decrypt modern BR discs? I avoided BR drives for this reason. I will stick with DVDs. :P

    How hot can these routers handle? My upstair room can go about 90F degrees during the heat waves. :(

    Hulu is a living organism? Wow. :P

  6. Re:PS/2 still FTW on Ask Slashdot: Low-Latency PS2/USB Gaming Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    My old desktops with PS/2 keyboards and mice don't wake up Windows' hibernation. I have to use the power.

  7. Re:PS/2 still FTW on Ask Slashdot: Low-Latency PS2/USB Gaming Keyboards? · · Score: 1

    Ditto. It seems like newer motherboards are removing them. I had to use an USB mouse since my friend and I couldn't get any USB to PS/2 adapters to work correctly (mouse pauses and then sometimes locks up randomly in both Windows XP Pro. SP3 and Ubuntu liveCD) with a mouse on my three years old EVGA X58 SLI (132-BL-E758; BIOS date 5/11/2010; v6.00 PG; release number IX58SZ64) motherboard. :( Also, I still use old KVMs from Y2K (unrelated to the issue).

  10. Re:Popularity of streaming content? on How DRM Won · · Score: 1

    Go to http://www.hd-trailers.net/ for the downloadable HD movie trailers. Others and I got angry when Apple removed its downloadable movie trailers from its web site. We don't want to use QuickTime!

    Where are the videos and photo(graph)s of these violences from Antarctica? :P

    That includes ants. ;)

  13. Re:Theft prevention: label it "Linux Laptop" on Ask Slashdot: Good Tracking Solutions For Linux Laptop? · · Score: 1

    I read that having stickers all over the lappy would give it less chances to be stolen. Maybe add decorations to look it old too.

  14. I meant streaming. On discs, there are ads before starting the movies. :(

  15. I thought FCC banned that. Or is that only for TV and not online? Ugh!

  16. Yeah, I don't get why Hulu+ has ads for paid members. Greedy companies! Gah.

  17. Netflix will probably get ads. later on like on discs (before movie, shows/series, start). :(

  18. Re:Why? on Microsoft Integrating Xbox One Advertising With Kinect To Profile Users For Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do we still have ads on cable TV when it started with none decades ago?

  19. Re:pointless on Alcatel-Lucent Gives DSL Networks a Gigabit Boost · · Score: 1

    Is that why my dial-up sucks due to line noises and only connecting 24000-31200 speeds (mostly 28.8k and 3 kB/sec)? :(

    What about performance? Desktops are faster like for gaming. :/

  23. Re:Whatever on You Will Get DirectX 11.2 Only With Windows 8.1 · · Score: 1

    For me, web browsers and Flash games. Plenty of games, free, and quick plays (don't replay after trying). I don't need fancy games. :)

    Nah, it's not porn for me. However, "using their keyboard in an unconventional manner" -- yes especially with loud clicky keyboards. ;)

    Your keyboard sucks. Good ones should be washable and still work. ;)
