  1. Re:Merge on Samsung HD Unit Bought By Seagate · · Score: 0

    The only WD drives that have worked for me are the Black line. Blue and green croak like the rest of them. Samsung had both fast and seemingly reliable drives, so I was considering jumping ship, but now that seagate has them, no way

  2. Re:Mac OS X too! on Samsung HD Unit Bought By Seagate · · Score: 0

    I have a box of seagates that reported fine to the very, crispy end (they melted a drive enclosure tray for hot swap) but weird things like they'd show 0 bytes free disk space when I had over 100GB free, and other crazy things. SMART never failed once, and seatools said they were good (imagine that)

  3. Re:This sounds familiar... on Google Crowd-Sources Maps · · Score: 0

    They had editing of locations forever. I was confused why they didnt open their maps up because of how inaccurate some things are (thought still better than other map services, from my experience - not saying this is true everywhere)

  4. what about the map? on Asia Runs Out of IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Ask Ford for some?

  5. Re:What about the hard drives? on A Closer Look At Immersion Cooling For the Data Center · · Score: 0

    Why not use SSD?

  6. Re:Mineral oil = nightmare on A Closer Look At Immersion Cooling For the Data Center · · Score: 0

    It softens stools, but not copper coated in fiberglass.
    From our hacking projects, its also a bitch and two halves (haha) to clean off of parts. Dishwashers are the only real hope to RMA something...

  7. Re:No need to duplicate work on Red Hat Uncloaks 'Java Killer': the Ceylon Project · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up, I see what he did there.

  8. mono came shortly after the taste app on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 0

    This also is during the arrival of smell and taste addition to the iPad, as seen on TV news

  9. terminated? on Afghanistan Called First "Robotic War" · · Score: 0

    I'll be back.

  10. Touch makes the touchpad on Apple's Secret Weapon To Win the Tablet Wars · · Score: 0

    I agree with the food chain argument (apple having stores where people can go ask questions, touch, and play) as when I've tried to buy an Android tablet, they have a cardboard mock up sitting out, or a pick-a-slip style system where you cant even see the box (stored in the back rooms) - this really makes me edgy on buying something when they hide it so badly.

  11. Novel my ass on Scientists Develop New Method To Improve Passwords · · Score: 0

    How is that novel when two of my banks not only do this already, but one-up it with a pin number along with a pictograph and password?

  12. Re:Can we have this on comments too ? on SlashTweaks Let YOU Micro-Edit Slashdot · · Score: 0

    Modify your own karma would have been a more lulzy feature, in my opinion

  13. Re:Obligatory XKCD on WP7 Predicted To Beat iPhone By 2015 · · Score: 0

    Parent has the right idea. Not like anything better will come along and shake up things. I'm sure the market looked far different before android was out...

  14. Re:Impressive on Spam Drops 1/3 After Rustock Botnet Gets Crushed · · Score: 0

    I'm sure a lot of people in 2006 were using gmail, so Bill was right!

  15. 66% Left... on Spam Drops 1/3 After Rustock Botnet Gets Crushed · · Score: 0

    This is awesome. Though I'm not sure totally what this means, depending on some factors, it could mean little depending on how fast spam traffic is growing (its in the billions per?)

    Messenger spam is another thing I'd love to see eradicated, namely from Yahoo! as it seems to have gotten extremely bad lately and meebo isnt adept to handling it.

  16. Re:Of course they are. on High Performance Gaming Mice Don't Perform · · Score: 0

    I too own an "expensive" gaming mouse - but heres why. My $15 "gaming" mouse died, and no one makes a wired version anymore. I like bigger mice, and gaming/expensive ones seem to be the only thing that fits this need, unfortunately.

  17. Re:Either/Or on Motorola May Ditch Android, Revive ARM Partnership · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Are you stupid? Google Ads are in basically every single free android program. Try again, noob.

  18. Re:Future chips will have built-in anti-virus? on Intel Completes McAfee Acquisition · · Score: 1

    They own things like a company my friend worked at who made security appliances for defense departments.

  19. fb https on Facebook Launches Social Login and HTTPS · · Score: 1

    we noticed this at work by accident, when we could get by the company firewall (we're in IT)

    the https site doesnt have https links so clicking on ANYTHING goes back to unsecure. Also what if your friends are fucking dumbshits and post pictures of their friends in their pictures - i got asked picture questions like this trying to log in from another state, and its stupid as shit.

  20. Re:College is a choice... on Should Colleges Ban Classroom Laptop Use? · · Score: 1

    In college I've been the only laptopper in classes many times. In one particular class the other (stupid) students got the idea from me and started using their laptop as well. I was the only one allowed to keep using it as you: type notes and dont type shit while the teacher is talking about other things. when you're sitting there not typing, and cant keep up or pay attention, you should put your fucking shit away and write.

  21. Re:Windows on Intel Intros 310 Series Mini SSDs · · Score: 1

    We do this in multiple ways where I work. STFU

    And what is the name of said app?

  23. Re:Remember to forget on How Do You Manage the Information In Your Life? · · Score: 1

    PM Me or whatever. I'm very interested in what you use to organize stuff scanned automagically, and what Canon scanner you've got. I'm SO not impressed with HP all in ones.

  24. Re:Not interested on Blizzard Unveils Custom StarCraft 2 Game Types, Encourages Map Design · · Score: 1

    Basically, this. With SC1 you had to do some iptables magic behind NAT if you lanned + online play, since not everyone can make it to lans.

    QUIT.
    WHINING.

  25. Hyper-V on Recommendations For Home Virtualization? · · Score: 1

    We were using ESXi but gave up after some major flaws (like upgrade problems) and some other things like unsupported hardware.
    WE have Win2k8 and 7 so managing a Hyper-V Core R2 server (Free) is bomb.
