  1. Re:Foolish idea on Chrome 33 Nixes Option To Fall Back To Old 'New Tab' Page · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the situation be same under other operating systems?

  2. Re:How much are they worth? on Riecoin: A Cryptocurrency With a Scientific Proof of Work · · Score: 2, Funny

    Wrong coin, dumbass. Still cool link tho.

    Follow @bitcoinprice.

  4. Re:Air Gapped Box on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Manage Your Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Removing the antennae may not totally disable the wifi though.

    Generally it's not recommended to run any radio device with the antennae removed. If the device tries to transmit through the connector, all the output power will get reflected back to the module, potentially damaging it.

  5. Not sure if you're suggesting the beta site has been fixed already or suggesting its unfixable.

    IMHO the Beta is getting better.

  6. Re:Please write better summaries on Jim Weirich, Creator of Rake, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    Apparently it does not take much to make you grumpy. :D

  7. Re:All that for a sub-par build system on Jim Weirich, Creator of Rake, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    At least I like for someone to keep my air conditioning information up to date.

  8. Re:What Now? on Jim Weirich, Creator of Rake, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    WTF is "Rake" and why should anyone care? I gather it's some sort of Ruby thing, but again, why should anyone care?

    I either didn't know about Rake or Jim Weinrich before these news. It's indeed kind of awkward to hear about the software and the guy for the first time, when the developer dies.

  9. Re:Shocked on Jim Weirich, Creator of Rake, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    My understanding is that it may have been a heart attack.

    Source?

  10. Re:FYI on Jim Weirich, Creator of Rake, Has Passed Away · · Score: 1

    I don't know really. There's still some rough edges, but the Slashdot Beta isn't that painful to use anymore.

  11. Re:Be there done that? on Zero Point: The First 360-Degree Movie Made For the Oculus Rift · · Score: 2

    But this is probably the first time when the consumer has a realistic option of obtaining a VR system at home which can play a 360 movie.

  12. Re:Disney did this in the 60s, so??? on Zero Point: The First 360-Degree Movie Made For the Oculus Rift · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So this should be a completely novel idea or otherwise it isn't worth anything?

  13. I jumped ship too on Ubuntu 14.04 Brings Back Menus In Application Windows · · Score: 3, Informative

    I've been mostly fine with the UX of Unity, but it really is a damn laggy and slow desktop, and also buggy as heck. I thought Canonical had the resources to set things straight but the quality assurance is just horrible. The Fedora KDE spin is my current happy place in Linux world.

    Why?

  15. Re:Yah, old slashdot is back, Black text on white! on Scientists Calculate Most Precise Measurement of Electron's Mass · · Score: 1

    Excellent, thanks!

  16. In Soviet Russia... on Your Next Online Order Could Be Delivered To Your Car's Trunk · · Score: 5, Funny

    In Soviet Russia, someone could order you to be delivered in the trunk of a car.

  17. Re:AwSOME! on New 360-Degree Video Capture Method Unveiled · · Score: 1

    With their head bobbing around while fucking?

  18. Re:Yah, old slashdot is back, Black text on white! on Scientists Calculate Most Precise Measurement of Electron's Mass · · Score: 1

    Yeah, the Beta is morphing from a "complete trainwreck" to just a "garbage can". ;)

    Now, I wish the full article summaries were shown in the front page.

  19. Re:Please stop recycling sequels renaming & dr on New DOOM Game Not Dead: Beta Comes With Wolfenstein Pre-Order · · Score: 1

    How about the newest SimCity or Thief, then? I'd say there is currently a slight trend in the marketing department to rename titles back to the first one.

  20. Re:Very old games on Ask Slashdot: What Games Are You Playing? · · Score: 1

    Call me whatever you want, but I never got the hang of the more recent games.

    Have you tried the more recent games, then?

  21. Re:Only requires... on NVIDIA Launches GTX 750 Ti With New Maxwell Architecture · · Score: 2

    Not if you pick a lower-power card from the upcoming Maxwell line-up.

  22. Re:Powershell is on Windows 8 Metro: The Good Kind of Market Segmentation? · · Score: 1

    but you miss the point - the unix shell works, and still works today. So why try to break it by changing it in the name of "progress".

    The improvements I mentioned about PowerShell are actual progress in my book.

  23. Re:Powershell is on Windows 8 Metro: The Good Kind of Market Segmentation? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the object-oriented approach and COM/NET integration are quite badass features. Either way, we should be innovating and not take the crusty UNIX shell for granted (even though it is very good too).

  24. Re:IPv6 has this tiny problem on Whatever Happened To the IPv4 Address Crisis? · · Score: 1

    I agree with that.

  25. Beta seems to have got an improvement on Reporting From the Web's Underbelly · · Score: 1

    Hey guys, the bastards seem to have fixed the narrow comment layout of the Beta site.
