  4. if they want to watch me on Ask Slashdot: How To Determine If One Is On a Watchlist? · · Score: 1

    they can watch me pick my nose, and scratch my ass, and then i will wash my hands and cook lunch, since i almost killed myself on a motorcycle i am as harmless as a kitten, i can barely walk anymore, now that i am more comfortable in a chair i am considering teaching myself some basic coding on linux and maybe if i am lucky i will make some software that will make people happy

  5. GNURadio-Companion & Hamlib on Getting Started With GNU Radio (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    can GNURadio-companion incorporate hamlib as a library to run the radio and basically use gnuradio-companion to build some simple front ends for hamlib? i have a Ten-Tec RX320 and Grig is not much as a front end, i was hoping to build a nicer front end that was more specific to this HF receiver and include a waterfall feature to get a good look at a few KCs of spectrum, i use Linux exclussively so there is not a windows PC for me to do this in, if i get good and skilled at this i would love to build a FOSS HamRadioDeluxe clone for Linux with ease of use and feature rich to include all the radios both hamlib and gnuradio will run,

  10. I learned my lesson, dont want ubuntu on Ubuntu 15.10 'Wily Werewolf' Released (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    too many broken things right after a fresh clean install of ubuntu, ill stick with trusty ol Debian

    it has been almost two years since slackware Slackware released a distro, thats a long time but at least Debian and Slackware can be depended on to actually make something rock solid and stable.

    used by religious fanatics and control freaks to troll the simple minded out of their money

  16. I bought a Roku3 earlier this year (2015) on Netflix Is Becoming Just Another TV Channel · · Score: 1

    and Netflix was okay for a little while but eventually i lost interest because of the selections seems to never rotate to different movies, sure they add a few new ones but not a lot and after a while it got to be like HBO, just another premium channel with the same old crap after a while, so i cancelled it and just threw the roku hardware in a old shoe box saving it for my grand yard sale when i finally decide to move to a smaller house

  17. Re:Explanation please on Windows 10 Still Phones Home With Data In Spite of Privacy Settings · · Score: 0, Troll

  19. Re:Therapy? on Ask Slashdot: How To Safely Use Older Android Phones? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    if it is good hardware why not put a new operating system on it and make it work for a few more years, no sense in filling the landfills up just because the software became obsolete,

    the computer i am typing this on was built by me in 2000, i used to dual boot a copy of windows 2000 and Linux Slackware-8 when it was new, today windows is gone and i am running Debian Jessie on it, the hardware is old but it works good so why not put a new operating system on it

  20. install another operating system on Ask Slashdot: How To Safely Use Older Android Phones? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    hopefully some clever x-google employee or a current google employee will so do some work on the side at home and build a customized debian or slackware port that is easily installed in any android device, most are locked down so this cant happen but i bet somebody has the key to unlocking these android phones that have so far been uncrackable at the firmware/hardware level

  21. law enforcement and intelligence agencies on The Man Who's Kept His Face Off the Internet for 20 Years · · Score: 1

    you have a driver's license and they got a photo and Name & address on record, think of all the electronic and paper trails the system has on you, about the only place that dont have your info is facebook which dont really matter anyway

  22. Re:I don't get it,... five a day? on Soylent 2.0 Comes Bottled and Ready To Drink · · Score: 1, Interesting

    i can buy a pound of hamburger, one tomato, one onion, head of lettuce, loaf of bread, for about 20 bucks, and cook four hamburgers, and feed four people and it will taste a heck of a lot better, thats about 5 bucks each a day, a lot better than a liquid diet too

  23. because china's industry is so clean on Want To Fight Climate Change? Stop Cows From Burping · · Score: 1

    and all those cargo ships china sends all over the world are so clean, i am not even going to read the article because just by the title i can tell it is a pile of shit, the bankers and industrialists that that run wallstreet and other financial centers around the world have conveniently hidden all their dirty factories in china and other third world nations where the citizens they hire have no human rights so they are basically slaves that work for just enough money to feed themselves

    the global economy is slavery-2.0

  25. a nice Linux trick on Ask Slashdot: Why Is the Caps Lock Key Still So Prominent On Keyboards? · · Score: 2
