  1. Re:Browser Extensions on Google Bars Site That Converts YouTube Songs Into MP3s · · Score: 1

    And also programs like Orbit Downloader, clive, cclive, etc. :)

  2. Re:32% on Google Reveals "Terrorism Video" Removals · · Score: 1

    Where are these kitty terrorists? ;)

  3. Re:Classic 2D is best on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    Ditto for me with 3D. My old compound eyes can't see 3D like when I was a callow. :( I'd rather watch on 2D digital. IMAX is OK too. No 3D crap. I don't know if this high 48 FPS would do any differences for my eyes.

  4. Re:Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 2

    Yep. Look up Nager's Syndrome. It's that rare. :(

  5. Re:Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Because digital requires implants for me which I refuse. I only want stuff to be external.

  6. Also, The Piano Guys' remix. on Chords To 1300 Songs Analyzed Statistically For Patterns · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Watch it on YouTube.

  7. Re:Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Mine isn't common. :( I have no ear canals and holes.

  8. Re:Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    Digital requires implant according to an USC audiologist. :(

  9. Re:Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    I don't want anything in my body. At least with analog, everything is external. Easy to fix and replace. Also, I don't want to wear stuff all the time.

  10. Want to get data plan for both phones & comput on Verizon Wireless Goes Ahead With 'Bucket' Data Plans · · Score: 1

    Assuming I am understanding these plans and packages correctly, I will need a phone data plan AND a computer data plan (another $50)? I can't use the current phone data plan, in Apple iPhone 4S with its Verizon's 3G, to use as a wirelesss hotspot to the computer devices through their wireless connections?" It's dang expensive already!

    I'd like to use it as a backup in case my home's Time Warner Cable's Internet connection goes down, or need to go out that has no open/free wifi for quick Internet usages.

    Maybe I need to switch carrier? :(

  11. Oops, not $900 and 2004. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 1

    $1,000 and end of 2005. Stupid brain! So $300 more after seven years! :(

  12. Analog is expensive too. on Ask Slashdot: Why Are Hearing Aids So Expensive? · · Score: 2

    I just got a new Oticon 380p bone conduction hearing end of last year. It was $1,300! Crazy. I assume it is because they are rare since most are digital these days. I refuse to get an implant for digital hearing aids!

    I bought the same analog model back in the end of 2004 and it was about $900. Prices keep going up even for old analog ones. :( This specific model has been around since 1994! You can read more about this in details on http://aqfl.net/node/2320 ... :(

  13. Re:Because on Company Creates a Self-Making Bed · · Score: 1, Funny

    Wife? Oh please.

  14. Trinity = KDE v3.5 style. on Ask Slashdot: Why Aren't You Running KDE? · · Score: 1

    http://www.trinitydesktop.org/

    Is anyone using this one for those who loved old KDE v3.5.x? I was going to use it, but was worried about support, compatiblity, etc. It is not official in Debian too.

  15. Re:Home-calling consumer services? on Ask Slashdot: Best Training To Rekindle a Long Tech Career? · · Score: 1

    Did you get find a date and get hitched? ;)

  16. Re:USB Microscope on Ask Slashdot: Advice On Child-Friendly Microscopes? · · Score: 1

    How about living creatures like ants? Also works with Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. :)

  17. Re:No news – Happens all the time on RMS Robbed of Passport and Other Belongings In Argentina · · Score: 1

    You can still get stuff stolen for your stuff at your body too. :(

  18. Re:TV is dead on Intel To Launch TV Service With Facial Recognition By End of the Year · · Score: 1

    I know a lot of people who still use TV, even old CRTs like my grandparents, my parents, and even myself. We prefer dumb screens and not those fancy ones out there.

  19. Re:Games not shown OTA on Game of Thrones The Most Pirated TV Show of the Season · · Score: 1

    What about the Stanley Cups games on weekdays? NBC is not showing it over the air (OTA) which is retarded. IT'S FINALS!! Ugh! Even major cities like Los Angeles (LA) can't watch it OTA on weekdays! :( I hope Kings win tomorrow night since that is a Saturday game OTA.

  20. Re:How about they release a new 64bit version for on Adobe Releases Sandboxed Flash Player For Firefox · · Score: 1

    They did release a small build update for v11.2, but that's it. I guess non-Chrome users are screwed like me. :(

  21. Re:Micro Center on Best Buy Chairman and Founder Resigns Ahead of Schedule · · Score: 1

    Fry's Electronics too. Micro Center is too far for my areas. Fry's Electronics and Best Buy are close by. CompUSA and Circuit City were near too. :(

  22. Which game? on John Carmack Is Building a Virtual Reality Headset · · Score: 1

    Is he going to use any of his previous games like Wolf3D, DOOM, etc.? ;)

    I tried one of those dedicated VR headsets in college. Ugh, they were heavy and annoying. It was a shooter game. I don't remember its name.

  23. Re:1313 Mockingbird Lane on Star Wars: 1313, a 'Darker, Grittier' Star Wars Game · · Score: 1

    And a reboot of The Munsters with Jerry O'Connell. See Dark Horizons for the details. :(

  24. Re:Poor guy on Minecraft Map of Northwestern Campus Printed In 3D · · Score: 1

    Actually, but all over my body due to allergies. :(

    Is that even possible? What if you are tired, sick, etc.?
