  1. Re:Ask any deaf person with a cochlear implant on Hi-Tech Body Implants and the Biohacker Movement (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    This is why I don't want any implants. I'm fine with external like headband bone conduction hearing aids. I finally switched to digital and geez it sucks compared to analog. I don't like this filtering and stuff in digital that causes (whistling/feedback)s, autochanging the volume, etc. Companies are trying to get rid of analog. :(

  2. Re:So many options on Ask Slashdot: Selecting a Version Control System For an Inexperienced Team · · Score: 1

    I last used Visual SourceSafe during the dotcom days. It was OK. Is it worse now? I recently use Perforce from my previous employer, which was nicer.

  3. Re:Flawless AI in 5 years? Yeah, right... on Replacement of Writers Leads Gartner's Predictions (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    As I always say, "prove it" to that prediction.

    That is why I always ask for proofs like "prove it". ;)

    So, who is Luke Skywalker then? :P

  6. Re:this is why on Wealth of Personal Data Found On Used Electronics Purchased Online · · Score: 1

    How with mobile devices? What about warranties when the company want them back to RMA?

    Especially when they are broken. :(

    So, cash?

  14. Re:Why did they need his passwords? on DHS Detains Mayor of Stockton, CA, Forces Him To Hand Over His Passwords · · Score: 1

    That sucks. :( I also heard iMacs are bad too.

  15. Re:Even if it isn't some blend on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 1

    For the sugary drinks, just add water to dillute them. Yes, they will taste worse. :(

  16. Re:GOOD GRIEF! on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 1

    I just add water to my fruit juice drinks to dillute it. Sure, they don't take good, but much better to have less sugar.

  17. Re:Why did they need his passwords? on DHS Detains Mayor of Stockton, CA, Forces Him To Hand Over His Passwords · · Score: 1

    I thought only Air were like that with the glues, tight spaces, etc.

  18. I never get the (new/lat)est stuff... on Office 2016 Proving Unstable With Apple's El Capitan · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Switching on LibreOffice Turns Five · · Score: 1

    I'm still using Office 2000 SR3 on my very old, updated Windows XP Pro SP3 machine. I rarely use it these days and don't do fancy stuff.

    I also noticed OO and LO can't open password protected documents like .docx files even with their updated 2007 converter packs. This is by design according to MS. :/
