  1. Edge: Build By Marketing, For Marketing on Hands On Samsung's New Galaxy S6 Edge+ and Galaxy Note 5 At Unpacked New York · · Score: 1

    People make the silliest things sometimes.

    The edge feature comes in handy once you put it in case?

    : P

  2. Wh Oracle is Full of it. on Oracle: Google Has "Destroyed" the Market For Java · · Score: 2

    If there was a good market for Java, wouldn't Sun have been been profitable in the first place?
    (Let's see if that title is acceptable for the filters.)

  3. Whoracle is Full of It on Oracle: Google Has "Destroyed" the Market For Java · · Score: 2

    If Java was profitable, wouldn't Sun been profitable in the first place?

  4. Not Enought To Make A CoDec on Cisco Developing Royalty Free Video Codec: Thor · · Score: 1

    It's not enough to make a good CoDec, a plan to propagate its adoption should be in the plans.

  5. Would Have Been Cool... on Ubuntu Phones Now Available Worldwide (On Some Networks) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Would have been cool, if Ubuntu was still cool : (
    So sad.

  6. Waste's Going in Your Yard. on MIT Designs Less Expensive Fusion Reactor That Boosts Power Tenfold · · Score: 1

    Still gonna make waste.

  7. For Now, Fusion Is A Sexy Pipedream on MIT Designs Less Expensive Fusion Reactor That Boosts Power Tenfold · · Score: 1

    Never mind things that already work such as, wind and solar, as well as things that likely will such tidal pools.
    Put all your money in something that m-i-g-h-t someday work.

  8. OBEY! on Sending Angry Emails Just Makes You Angrier · · Score: 1

    OBEY!

  9. Tasteful, Well, Placed Ads... on Study: Ad Blocker Use Jumps 41 Percent · · Score: 1

    Tasteful, Well, Placed Ads are not the norm. Instead, we have inappropriate ads, made for shock value, made to jar the senses, in your face, filling up your machine with cookies that wear your SSD. We have self-playing audio and video.

  10. Re:Oracle Happened on LibreOffice 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It would be in poor taste to mention that, I hope the wall Oracle is pounding it's head against over this has a coat-hook somewhere on it, so I won't.

  11. Oracle Happened on LibreOffice 5.0 Released · · Score: 4, Informative

    Oracle bought out Sun. When they looked at their IP portfolio, they appeared to have lost their minds, and assert their ownership over several open-source projects. Yes, I believe it was some 26 programmers who left Open-Office and started LibreOffice. Then Oracle was falling out of brainshare, and didn't seem want to appear as an orgre, but it was already out of its cave by then.

    What happened: Oracle's possessiveness made LibrieOffice into the superior office suite it is today!

  12. Not Making Me Want to Ditch 4-1/2 Year Old 2600k on Intel's Skylake Architecture Reviewed · · Score: 1

    30% Percent Faster, perhaps, with the wind behind it, and if I don't overclock my rig.
    Cinebench 931 VS 694 Multicore.

    No, to be fair--it's only 25.4564983888292% Faster.

  13. Please don't be petty. on Modding Community Putting HD Textures Into Resident Evil 4 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If I can overlook the choice of words, perhaps you could. "High resolution" would have been a good fitting term.

    If we can see well, our daily life treats us with a good amount of eye candy. So, if we couldn't see the texture on a object any better than what was released on that game, we would get glasses, or stronger glasses.

    It's projects like this that make good game better.

  14. Right to Assemble on Police Shut Down Anti-Violence Fundraiser Over Rapper's Hologram · · Score: 1

    Miss it.

  15. .Net, Longest Updates Ever! on Microsoft Officially Releases Visual Studio 2015 and .NET 4.6 · · Score: 1

    Windows updates you can time with a calender.

  16. Sue People, and Allow Driverless Vehicles? on Uber Class-Action Case May Hinge On What the Drivers Want · · Score: 1

    That's a whacked sense of symmetry.

  17. Ubuntu's Value is Now What They Can Do for Mint on Lenovo Will Sell Ubuntu Laptops In India · · Score: 1

    Mint is the new Ubuntu.
    Ubuntu is the new Fedora.
    Fedora is the new Redhat.
    Redhat is the new Novell Linux.

  18. Re:Inserting into orbit would have been interestin on New Horizons Gets Closer to Pluto, But Mystery Spots Now Out of Sight · · Score: 1

    I agree. It's like putting the ring down and turning around to go home just before you get to Mordor.

  19. Re:Colors you can see on There Aren't a Trillion Different Smells After All · · Score: 1

    They are also stating that people can only see ~1,000,000 colors, which is not correct for many/most people.

  20. Of Course It's Time for Larger SSDs on Samsung Releases First 2TB Consumer SSD For Laptops · · Score: 1

    I am surprised it has taken this long to get to 2TB. Perhaps the price on 1TB will drop a little now, as they are no longer considered a premium drive.

    [Personally, I have 750GB of data. When replacing drives, I've always bought twice as much storage as I have had data.
    Once you do anything with video, space goes quick, I also have lots of photos, graphic projects, CAD and design projects.]

  21. Converted Shower Into Tub on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your Most Unusual Hardware Hack? · · Score: 2

    I had a friend who needed a tub for medical reason, but only had a fiberglass shower stall.

    Scrounging, I found some scrap aluminum rails. I cut and mitered them to fit in the stall, and screwed them into the stall with stainless sheet metal screws. I put lexan/polycarbonate over the frame, and fixed it with screws and nuts, also stainless. I sealed it with silicone sealer, and...it held!

    From time to time, she would let the water run, but it held with about 2 feet of water in it.

  22. NSA Should Be Jailed on Surveillance Court: NSA Can Resume Bulk Surveillance · · Score: 1

    If the U.S. Constitution and the Bill of Rights is the supreme law of the land, and that law has been broken, then those responsible should be arrested and jailed.

    If this were 200 years ago, people would be grabbing their rifles from under their beds.

  23. Hopeful for FreeFileSync Without Volsteran on SourceForge Suspends Independent Project Mirroring · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've been using an old version for six months because I couldn't get a copy without Volseran malware.

    I wrote about it on Slashdot, but my article was never posted, as are most of my stuff, probably because I am female.

  24. .Net the Longest Part of a Windows 7 Reinstall on Is Microsoft's .NET Ecosystem On the Decline? · · Score: 1

    It takes longer to run the .net updates than it takes for the whole rest of a reinstall.
    What crap!

  25. Good! on Kaspersky Lab Reveals Cyberattack On Its Corporate Network · · Score: 1

    Good, I wish nothing but hard times for them.
