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

    At my college/university, I think it was 3 (females) to 1 (males) ratio back in the late 1990s/90s. Its computer science (CS) department were right next to the nursing department in the same building on the other end. They both shared the same entrances and exits. I never saw both groups talk to each other. Lots of attractive gals too. I only knew one CIS major who dated a nurse from there. Of course, me still a virgin and single as of today. :(

  2. Re:Cartography on New Evidence Indicates Amelia Earhart Survived For a Time on Pacific Atoll · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my brain sparked up when inaccurate maps were mentioned. I didn't even know about that part. :( I wonder if she and her buddy were trained for survivals too.

  3. That sucks. Was this specific map only for them or did others have this specific bad map too? I wonder what happened to those cartographers? DId they get blamed for the Eahart's accident? :(

  4. Chart was wrong? How did that happen? Did the mapper make an error/mistake? Someone gave her a falsified map for this disappearance happen? :(

  5. Linux support? on Despite Game-Related Glitches, AMD Discontinues Monthly Driver Updates · · Score: 1

    What about Linux drivers and support? ATI/AMD is supposed to be better in this area, but I haven't seen much compared to NVIDIA's awesome driver support. What about the rest of you?

  6. Re:Use case differences... on Geezers Pick Stronger Passwords Than Young'uns · · Score: 1

    Same here. I prefer text mode for a lot of things like e-mails (Mutt; used to use Pine), Tin (newsreader), etc. People call me crazy for using these text mode clients. I don't care. Fast, more secured, etc. I am old school so bite me! Oh and I still use Zmodem to download and upload through SSH! Beat that with SFTP that has no resumes! ;)

  7. Re:not sure on Windows 8: More EULA, Fewer Rights. · · Score: 1

    Watch out for his throwing chairs force power!

  8. Telepathic! on What Would a Post-Email World Look Like? · · Score: 1

    People say I e-mail too much. I joked that e-mails become telepathic so I will spam their brains. Heheh!

  9. Re:PC gaming? on Digging Into the Electrical Cost of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    I play computer games once in a while so I still need those high end cards (not SLI/Crossfire). I really wished there was a way to make those video cards to act low power used by idling most of its features when not needed. Sure, I can swap the hardwares, but that's annoying.

  10. Re:PC gaming? on Digging Into the Electrical Cost of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    Turning off machine still uses power? Geez, unplug it! That is what I do when I don't use it. Same for other electronics.

  11. Re:Weesa all NOT gonna die?!? on Little Health Risk Seen From Fukushima's Radioactivity · · Score: 1

    No, keep it. Use it as a movie theater, hideout, etc. :)

  12. Re:Thanks for reminding me... on US ISPs Delay Rollout of "Six Strikes" Copyright Enforcement Framework · · Score: 1

    Dude, that's not bad. For me, it is either dial-up (3 KB/sec) or satellite. :(

  13. Re:Troubling signal, why? on Facebook Shares Retreat Below IPO Price · · Score: 1

    And they would have backups if the account was really deleted on production.

  14. Re:Less eye candy on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Perfect and thank you. More pixels on my desktop! :D

  15. Re:A week? on Who's Pirating Game of Thrones, and Why? · · Score: 1

    Some of us are impatient and want to see them soon/right away! :P

  16. Re:What do you mean, "now" starting? on Programming — Now Starting In Elementary School · · Score: 1

    Ditto. My parents signed me up for computer classes for BASIC. In sixth grade, I had a geek teacher, Mr. Mangel (is he on /.?) who taught us Apple 2 LOGO. He even had an awesome robotic turtle, like a slow plotter, that drew on big papers! That was radical/rad. :)

  17. Re:If you're subscribed to him.. on Zuckerberg Updates Relationship Status To "Married" · · Score: 1

    Are we sure she is not a robot? She could be a fembot! [grin]

  18. Re:Less eye candy on Aero Glass UI No More On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Is this in W7 and Vista? I was looking for it, but couldn't find it. I hated the thick borders.

  19. Re:Origin on EA To Provide Free Distribution To Kickstarter Games · · Score: 1

    Interesting and there is no way to avoid Origin with BF3 to play online. Lame! Good thing I don't play computer games anymore these days.

  20. Re:Origin on EA To Provide Free Distribution To Kickstarter Games · · Score: 2

    Is there no way to avoid this software to play the newer games in Windows? :( I want to get BF3, but now maybe I don't.

  21. Invicta on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 1

    But it doesn't seem to have a calendar, calculator, stopwatch, etc. :P

  22. Re:Prediction on 'Inexact' Chips Save Power By Fudging the Math · · Score: 1

    So that's why no one can play Diablo 3. Blizzard is using these inexact chips on their servers! ;)

  23. Re:Calculator watches? on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the pads and plastic suck. I miss the old materisl, but they were big and heavy for my tiny wrists. :( I wished there were alternatives.

  24. Calculator watches? on Ask Slashdot: Wrist Watch For the Tech Minded · · Score: 4, Informative

    I still wear them. I currently wear a CASIO Databank 150. I I only use basic stuff. Nothing fancy. I'd like to get a PDA watch but they are too heavy and big for my thin wrists. :(

  25. Re:Real name policy to blame? on Online Loneliness At Google+ · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I don't use my real datas. Facebook kicked me off for doing this after a couple weeks. MySpace, Friendster, etc. did not care. :(
