  1. Re: Slow them with real traffic on Weary Homeowners Wage War On Waze · · Score: 1

    Part of the reason the home owners have a problem with the through traffic is that most often the traffic is traveling well above the speed limit in neighborhoods where children play.

  2. Re:Upgrade from 7 to 10 failed on Microsoft Rolls Out Major Fall Update To Windows 10 (windows10update.com) · · Score: 1

    I experienced [upgrade failure] on 2 different computers and it turned out to be that the reserved system partition was nearly full. I used a partition manager and increased the size a little and the upgrade ran just fine. Ref: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/buckh/...

    Or like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... (GladOS: fusion vs fission, a nice educational bit)

  4. Re:won't matter for 90% on How 'Fast Lanes' Will Change the Internet · · Score: 1

    Sure, until they make the "slow" lane ever slower. Eventually everyone's paying extra for "fast" which started off as regular.

  5. New? on New Shape Born From Rubber Bands · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My telephone cord at work has been like this for years.

  6. Big deal on Levitating and Manipulating Objects With Sound · · Score: 0

  7. What about all the nanoparticles in the air on A Makerbot In Every Classroom · · Score: 0

    caused by these things? I'm not sure I would want my kids around that. Or are they planning to completely enclose the device and filter the air after the build is complete?

  8. Tin Foil Hat for your car? on NYC Is Tracking RFID Toll Collection Tags All Over the City · · Score: 1

    This kind of thing isn't even a surprise anymore. Something I learned as a kid: "You pay for convenience" It's just that today you're paying with more than just your wallet.

  9. Re:Boosts 3-D Gaming and Video Calls on Firefox 22 Released, Boosts 3-D Gaming and Video Calls · · Score: 1, Funny

    I was wondering this too.. Remember when Firefox as fast and lean?

  10. Re:Here we go on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 0

    Well... since no one really knows what might happen they might not have even turned theirs on until tomorrow.

  11. Here we go on Hubble Finds Unidentified Object In Space · · Score: 1, Funny

    Looks like some other civilization just turned on their new LHC too.

    Thusly, I greet our robotic humanoid overlords with bowed neck and outstretched palms.

  13. Team Fortress 2 on Wired News 2006 Vaporware Awards · · Score: 0

    How long have we been waiting for this?

    "Paper left in a wallet tends to become crumbly and perhaps ultimately unreadable. " !? What the hell do you do with your wallet??

  15. Re:Proclear on Contact Lenses for Computer Professionals? · · Score: 0

    Add me to the Proclear users. I used to use Acuvue and by 8pm I couldn't stand them. I typically wear my proclears for about 18 hours a day and have no trouble with them.

  16. Re:Killing cancer? on Sound Waves Kill Skin and Prostate Cancer Cells · · Score: 0

    Let me guess, to use the wand to kill prostate cancer you have to get the wand near the prostate? Does this cream have lubricant properties?

  17. Re:and I quote: on Microsoft Under Attack - Part 2 · · Score: 0

    The point is obvious to most people with reading comprehension who followed the message from the parent.

  18. Re:and I quote: on Microsoft Under Attack - Part 2 · · Score: 0

    I'm quite happy with my Win XP Pro system as it is. It does everything I need or want it to do, I can't remember the last time it crashed on me (a year at least, it stays on 24/7 and I do a reboot only when an install or update requires it), and I use software and good practices to keep my system and home network safe from the bad guys. Yes, I can wait quite a long time for Longhorn if it will be good enough to make me want to upgrade.

  19. Browser Comparison on Opera 8 Released · · Score: 0

    I've been wondering about Opera myself. Hopefully there are some people here who have used Opera and Firefox and can explain if it would be worth it to pay for Opera. I went to download the free version to check it over but apparently I'll have to wait a while: Server Error The following error occurred: [code=SERVER_RESPONSE_RESET] The server response could not be read because of an error. Contact your system administrator. Does anyone have an objective comparision to share?

  20. Can you image the road rage? on Flying Cars Ready To Take Off · · Score: 0

    Someone cuts you off so you fly over top of them and toss your kids diaper over the side..

  22. Re:Hello Slashdot reader, I am Ignignot & this on Site for Moon Base Determined · · Score: 0, Redundant

    That sounded so much like Bender I almost spit my coffee.

  23. Re:That's just great on Brain-Implanted Chips Allow Control of Technology · · Score: 1

    Yeah, right. As soon as I get my implant I'll be installing a firewall, anti-virus, and anti-spyware.

  24. That's just great on Brain-Implanted Chips Allow Control of Technology · · Score: 5, Funny

    Now you'll be able to get hacked and become part of some script kiddies zombie network yelling spam at everyone you walk past.

  25. Re:So much for TiVo on TiVo Starts Testing "Pop-up" Ads · · Score: 1

    Actually I like to watch the commercials at high speed. Sometimes I see something interesting and I can back it up and take another look; I'm just fine without 30 second skip.
