  1. Re:What will happen when they die? on Samsung Launches SSD 830 Drive · · Score: 1

    Would have been quite useful to tell us how long you have had the drive, 99% after 1 month or after 2 years.

  2. Re:$300 is too much on Amazon To Launch Kindle Tablet? · · Score: 1

    Ok, but I would rather have one device. I read on the iPad, 2 books last week alone. I enjoy not having to have an external light source, since I read in lots of different places.

    Both our views are valid, but lets see which one lasts. I do not see e-readers sticking around beyond the next few years. I can't see most people having both, and choosing to go with the better all round device. I think that is why Amazon and BN have gone the tablet platform, not trusting ereaders to carry them.

  3. Re:Bring back WebOS please on Sources Say Meg Whitman To Become HP CEO · · Score: 1

    A+++ Would hire again.

  4. Re:Microsoft reads slashdot. on Microsoft Ousts IE Mobile Manager For Revealing Nokia Phone Details · · Score: 1

    I may eat an orange or a steak. That does not mean I am deluded enough to think they are on the same level. Wow, how such stupidity got modded up to 4, while this comment stays at 1 is ridiculous.

  5. Re:Isn't it great to see on Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too · · Score: 1

    Only by people who do not understand what Samsung is, a government assisted mega corp, that builds almost everything, and is heavily involved in corruption in South Korea. They make Apple and Microsoft look good.

  6. Re:The cliche practically coined for this occasion on Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too · · Score: 0

    Sure, and a 13 inch Thinkpad or Vaio costs twice as much as a 17 inch piece of shit as well.

    A Steak costs 4x as much as a mcdonald hamburger.

    And a BMW costs 4x as much as a shitty Ford.

    Also, this comment is worth 4x as much as your shitty comment.

    A growing profit can be much smaller than a shrinking profit, you don't need to be a mathematician to understand that.

  8. Re:Apple should be worried on Samsung Plans To Block the iPhone 5 In Korea · · Score: 1

    Battery life? Size (it is quite big).

    Ha ha ha, sure it is a great phone, but that is a silly statement.

  9. Re:Paging Darth Vader on Microsoft 'Ribbonizes' Windows 8 File Manager · · Score: 1

    I used to hate it, forced myself to use it, and did start to see the advantages. For a power user it is great, I did dislike having to use the few functions I used, but once I new where they were, it was a lot easier.

  10. Re:Interesting idea on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Don't be ridiculous. At least 20% of windows has to be rewritten for no apparent reason or it does not count as a new version. Of course, this includes adding new themes, so it is not that much programming.

  11. Re:Experience? on Estimated Transfer Time Is No More In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    What? Next you will be complaining because it automatically tweets and updates facebook about what files you are copying and deleting.

  12. Re:Take a lesson from Mac OS X on Windows 8 To Fight Piracy With the Cloud · · Score: 1

    Bullshit, there is no proof of that, Apple have never released the numbers. And anyway, Apple make most of their money from hardware.

  13. Re:Everything costs more in Australia on Pricing: Apple Defies Australian Government · · Score: 1

    It was cheaper to buy a sixpack of Coopers Pale in the USA, than it was in Adelaide, Australia. This stuff is made in Adelaide. Will the government be investigating why we are being price gouged with our beer? I think not, for some reason.

  14. Re:Hardware on Analysis of Google's Motorola Acquisition · · Score: 1

    I'll give you point for coming up with something unique, but it is still silly.

    I am sure they could hire someone to build up support, and spend billions on it for a lot cheaper.

  15. Re:Wow on Intel To Offer CPU Upgrades Via Software · · Score: 0

    It's like I'm being scammed at purchase, and scammed again at upgrade time.

    Only if you are mentally retarded.

  16. Re:Who cares? on Which Company Is the Largest? · · Score: 1

    Probably should not have clicked on the link. That is what I do for stuff that I am interested in, ignore it. It seem you are not alone, what is the obsession with talking about stuff you are not interested in? I guess you hang out a lot in twilight forums, saying how much you don't care about the books.

  17. Re:Apple isn't doing jack here. on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 2

    I love how everyone acts like this really has something to do with Apple.

    You are right, and it has nothing to do with Nintendo as well. If there was another company making the 3ds, then it would be that company. The other thing, what a stupid point to make, you add nothing to the conversation.

  18. Re:Misnomer on How Apple Is Beating Nintendo At Its Own Game · · Score: 1

    You really are an idiot. Why do you keep ignoring the ipod touch?? Cause you are an idiot.

    The fact is people only have so much money, they can only buy so many things. This is the way Apple and Nintendo know it is, but some idiots refuse to understand.

  19. Re:Um... on Anonymous Vows To Destroy Facebook · · Score: 1

    The 5th of November means nothing to Australians, and I suspect New Zealanders as well. Sure, if you read history, you will know. So I should say, almost all Australians know nothing about the 5th of Nov, unless it is mentioned on the news on the day, and then forgotten 10 mins later.

    I do not have a lot of faith in my fellow aussies.

  20. Re:AMD has too many products on AMD Enters Desktop Memory Market · · Score: 1

    No. Why make up shit? It is not Apple biggest weakness, or Nvidia, or Samsung, or anyone else. There are plenty of fabs going around to do this sort of work.

    However, AMD's biggest weakness may be morons who make shit up.

  21. Re:Accuracy on Computers Could Grade Essay Tests Better Than Profs · · Score: 1

    Ah bullshit. You are drawing a conclusion from very little evidence. I hope you didn't study statistics. Is it just a coincidence that your theory supports your victim ideal, and you are actually smarter than everybody thinks you are. Yeah, you are a precious snowflake.

    On top of that your conclusion is wrong, why would favoritism for some students mean you get a lower grade? That makes no sense.

  22. Re:After school on Computers Could Grade Essay Tests Better Than Profs · · Score: 2

    I had the exact same problem with my Uni Maths classes. The Professor had some silly idea about what all the answers should be, and unless you parroted back the "correct" answers, he marked you as wrong. What a douche. Only a foll pretends that there are numbers beyond whole numbers.

    I guess you don't ever get to go on holidays then. Sounds like a major hassle to me.

  24. Re:100,000 apps ... on Amazon App Store 'Rotten To the Core,' Says Dev · · Score: 1

    This is a choice they chose to make. It is not up to Amazon to control this, you have the option of making it free, then all support calls will be up to you.

    You take a risk, sometimes it works out, sometimes it does not.

  25. Re:It's 2011, don't open the attachment on The Rise of Polymorphic Malware · · Score: 1

    Really? Are you that stupid? I sure hope you don't work in security.

    It is a perfectly natural thing for people to do, and most of them will be fine. It is only the odd one that has a virus, and that should have been filtered out anyway.
