  1. It is a good thing I don't Facebook. :P

  2. Re:Teh on Names That Break Computers (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Same with (fir/1)st names. It is not just names, but lots of uncommon words esp(ecially) technical words. Hence, why I turn off auto(spell/correct).

  3. Re:This is mostly a test of vestibular function. on Uber Recruiting Engineers By Randomly Sending Coding Game To Play During Rides (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I would too since I get easily carsick. Even a good (earth)quake shaker while looking at my computer screen make me sick. I really wished we had t(rans/ele)porters. :(

  4. Internet is a hobby too. :P

  5. Re:Time ...and maturity. on Pebble Lays Off 25% of Its Staff, Smartwatch Bubble Set To Burst? (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I was hoping I would get a good smartwatch to replace my old school Casio Databank 150 watch, but they're too big, heavy, and weak. I also don't like how smartwatches require phones. Why can't we have standalone smartwatches like the old school Casio Data Bank watches? :(

  6. Re:I can't speak for anyone else on Pebble Lays Off 25% of Its Staff, Smartwatch Bubble Set To Burst? (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    I am the opposite. I like wearing the old school Casio Data Bank watches (e.g., models 150 and 300). They are still useful, light, etc. Batteries' lives are years long. I don't like having the heavy stuff in my pockets. I am a small and weak guy too. I also hate getting my stuff in and out stuff. Useful watches are always on my wrists even when I sleep. I don't wear any boring watches too.

  7. Re:Very excited! on Wine Makes It Possible To Run Vulkan Windows Programs On Linux (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Valve really to make Portal 3 and HL3 for Linux first to make Linux hot.

    His name is Lucky. :P

  9. Weird. I don't get those flickers. Ah, autohide the status bar. I like the status bar for other stuff though. SM do need more help to make and fix stuff.

  10. SeaMonkey doesn't suck! Others and I till use the suite bundled versions. Also, its GUI hasn't changed much for decades unlike Firefox's.

  11. Someone need to repeat Phoenix with a brand new web browser!

  12. Re:Increase it a bit, at least on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey: the 140-Character Limit 'Is Staying' · · Score: 1

    Or better, shrink it down to 1 bit!

  13. Re:duh on More Devs Now Use OS X Than Linux, Says Survey (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep. If it was still like MacOS classic, then I wouldn't like Macs.

  14. Re:Still... on Nike's Self-Lacing Shoes Will Go On Sale This Year (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Ditto. I can't even tie shoes because of my disabilities. :( I miss those long strap laces when I was younger. They don't make and sell those in local stores any more. :(

  15. "... Although they cannot be positive, the companies concluded that all were the work of a known advanced threat group from China."

    They can't be positive and concluded this? Where are the proofs?

  16. Less comments & dial-up issues? on The State of Slashdot: Https, Poll Changes, Auto-Refresh, Videos, and More · · Score: 1

    https://groups.google.com/foru... mentions dial-up issues. Is anyone else seeing this? I would test it, but I don't have a copper phone line anymore to try it with my dial-up modems. :(

    Is it me or are there way less comments lately on /.?

    Heh, my family is like that as an adult. :/
