  1. Re:AppleTV may have to deal with ISP and data cost on DirecTV CEO Scoffs At Competition From Apple TV · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What this is fucking free ride you are mumbling about? I paid for my pipe, and though it may be shared with my neighbors, it's none of your fucking business where I suck down my content from.

    You are an idiot.

    You had a nice rebuttal. The name calling was unnecessary and makes you look like the idiot. Try and just stick to your argument, youll get much farther in life...

  2. With bundling cable tv is cheap on DirecTV CEO Scoffs At Competition From Apple TV · · Score: 1

    I keep tying to cut the cord but I pay with DVR HDTV about $35/month on RCN. Frankly, after i assemble all the services with their various monthly fees, and necessary hardware purchases to match what I get from RCN cable do I save enough (or anything) that the inconvenience of piecemealing is worthwhile.

  3. Comes with tweezer and magnifying glass on Smaller SIM Format Standardized · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hope all phones that use these come with a tweezer and magnifying glass! This little sucker is gonna be hard to handle! lol

  4. Re:Inconvenient Facts on Soda Ban May Hit the Big Apple · · Score: 1

    You're a moron. Those are all foods that have nutritional value (well except the french fries). Soda is just sugar mixed with water...

  5. Easy -- Google Apps on Options For Good (Not Expensive) Office Backbone For a Small Startup · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Just use Google Apps. Provides email, calendaring, etc all integrated and very inexpensive.

  6. Nope on Facebook Is Killing Text Messaging · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Not for me. Facebook sucks for messaging compared to iMessage or plain old texts.

    At best, facebook is an email supplement

  7. Re:Cue huge pushback from the AMA in 3...2... on FDA May Let Patients Buy More Drugs Without Prescriptions · · Score: 1

    Thanks for raising all our insurance rates. Nothing like unnecessary testing.

  8. Re:Cue huge pushback from the AMA in 3...2... on FDA May Let Patients Buy More Drugs Without Prescriptions · · Score: 1

    Yes, and contacts are just like treatment for hypertension and diabetes... you have no idea what you're talking about.

  9. Re:Cue huge pushback from the AMA in 3...2... on FDA May Let Patients Buy More Drugs Without Prescriptions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Doctors are busy enough they don't need to do things just "to make more money." We have a shortage of doctors in the USA, ever try to get an appointment with a specialist who doesn't have a several week wait?

    Fact is these are serious chronic conditions that need some monitoring by doctors. This is backed up by the evidence. So please stop with the "docs are greedy" bull shit.

  10. Good artists copy great artists steal? on Iranian Military Says It's Copying US Drone · · Score: -1, Troll

    As Steve Jobs said, "Good artists copy, great artists steal."

  11. Can't feed nor provide clean water for population on India Test Fires Long-Range, Nuke-Capable Missile · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's a huge poverty stricken country. It can't even provide food and clean water adequately (and don't get me started on the filth of their healthcare system). Yet they have enough funds to pay for this stuff. Great work and good priorities India!

  12. Java web app support on The Fixes That Google Chrome OS Still Needs To Make · · Score: 3, Funny

    Seriously large omission is a JRE for Chrome OS

  13. Flawed Study on Dental X-Rays Linked To Common Brain Tumor · · Score: 5, Informative

    This is a very flawed study that doesn't account for many things including a) It's based on patients "memories" of when they got x-rays and not actual dates b) Doesn't account for the dramatic reduction in amount of rays needed for the images in the last 20-30 years.

    Proof? Check this far better article http://articles.boston.com/2012-04-10/metro/31313701_1_x-rays-tumor-risk-radiation-exposure

  14. Re:Canada Here I Come on Supreme Court Approves Strip Searches For Any Arrestable Offense · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bull shit. You're not going anywhere.

  15. Strong passcode option & delete after 10 attem on Cops Can Crack an iPhone In Under Two Minutes · · Score: 1

    I believe these two options in iOS will make it a bit more secure

    1) Strong passcode option (alphanumeric and more than 4 characters)

    2) Delete all data after 10 incorrect passcode attempts

  16. Re:Jailbreaks on New iPad Jailbroken Already · · Score: 2

    And most of the jailbreaks require physical access to the device which is less dangerous than remote ones such as the extremely rare ones done via a web page attack. The latest requires no pass code on the device as well

  17. Re:Numbers are meaningless on NVIDIA Challenges Apple's iPad Benchmarks · · Score: 0

    For people like you who care about such things, the nerds.

    Every other person I know interested in the ipad 3 have no idea about anything other than it's new :) . I had to explain to a few of the cheaper people that the newer one is worth the $100 extra over the old model since they intend to read and the new model has a "prettier/better quality screen for reading."

  18. Numbers are meaningless on NVIDIA Challenges Apple's iPad Benchmarks · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does using the tablet have smooth and instant responsiveness? At the end of the day, that's all that matters. Tegra 100 or ipad 100 won't matter if the OS that uses it isn't smooth and keeps up with the user interactions. Consumers just care about experience, how they get there isn't of interest to anyone other than nerds.

  19. Re:Dear Apple... on Third-Generation Apple TV Lands With a Thud · · Score: 2

    Exactly! Agree completely. That's the only reason I won't buy it and get rid of my HTPC

  20. Grrr get off my lawn on The eBook Backlash · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Seriously, this guy sounds like hundreds of other e-book complainers. Meanwhile, every person I have given a Kindle to try out who said they would never give up paper books are converts within a week. eBooks are great because you can have tons of books always with you, they are light, and if you finish one you boook you instantly can get another one.

    So Slashdot can go hammer your servers! :) Kidding..

    Seriously, don't let us know, you will be in for $$$$

  22. Re:Serious addicts who "decide to use" it? on Vaccine Could Cut Heroin Addiction · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Right opiates work by bonding to chemical receptors in the brain. If a vaccination makes one non-responsive IV opiate drugs like heroin then it must be making significant and lasting changes to neural chemistry. Who knows what all affects that might result in, given or still limited understanding of the brain?

    And those same receptors are used legitimately to reduce pain while sick or recovering from injury. If this is non-reversable that's a whole class of pain killers not available to these people later on in their lives.

    Boxee dropped their PC software. Switch to Plex, it kicks boxee's ass

  24. Plex client on The Best Streaming Media Player · · Score: 1

    I was thinking this was a good review until I saw they didn't even know that Roku has a Plex client app. The plex client lets you play media stored on your computer, which is the functionality the review said was lacking...

  25. Re:Except it would be suicide for Google... on HP CEO Says Google-Motorola Deal Could Close-Source Android · · Score: 1

    Point of clarification, google technically makes no money on android (i.e. no profits).
