  1. Re:Units! on Samsung Debuts Thin Galaxy Tab S With Super AMOLED 2560X1600 Display · · Score: 1

    In Finland I have only rarely seen centimeters mentioned in screen sizes. It's generally inches through-and-through.

  2. Re:What about as a lifestyle choice? on EU's Top Court May Define Obesity As a Disability · · Score: 1

    There must be also some chromosome that causes these retarded angry AC comments.

  4. Re:Eat healthy anyone? on EU's Top Court May Define Obesity As a Disability · · Score: 1

    Meh. Ketogenic diet is just expensive and irritates your digestive system by being so acidic.

  5. Re:What about as a lifestyle choice? on EU's Top Court May Define Obesity As a Disability · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how to interpret that. Are you objecting, saying who you sleep with isn't a choice? Perhaps all homosexual are rape victims, even if they thought it was consentual adults out for a fun time? Or maybe it is genetic, some defect that needs to be cured?

    It is already known that homosexuality is genetic. The exact gene(s) are not yet known, though. If someone is gay, there is a high chance that his uncle from the mother's side is gay too.

  6. Stalking ads on Facebook Lets Users Opt Out of Targeted Ads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What I see quite commonly these days are "stalking" ads. I watch some products and when I navigate to other sites, advertisements for those products haunt me absolutely everywhere.

  7. Re:Many industries standard: buy competing product on Cisco Spending Millions of Dollars Secretly Purchasing New Juniper Products · · Score: 2

    Car analogy actually works here there - people selling Abcd cars would drive Bghj and Celkj cars

    That Celkj sounds like some new East European vehicle brand.

  8. Re:What is needed... on Google Engineer: We Need More Web Programming Languages · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yeah, I agree. The first thing to do would be to reinvent the web browser. I guess HTML would still suit for displaying static content, but all the interactive stuff is like rockets duct-taped on a stone-age sleigh.

  9. Re:Ultrasonic reception? on The Computer Security Threat From Ultrasonic Networks · · Score: 1

    I doubt there is a ready-made LIRC driver, but in theory it might be possible to get it working with a computer. Try recording some button presses with a sound recording program using the mic input and see if anything shows up in the waveform. Then write some software which bridges the sound driver to the remote controller API.

  10. Re:On behalf of all network specialists, on Latin America Exhausts IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    We warned you years ago this would happen! But no-one ever listens.

    I think it follows a pattern of an alcoholic: he knows that he should have stopped years ago, but doesn't quit the booze until the doctor says that you're gonna die if you don't give it up.

  11. Re:Yay DRM on Civilization V Officially Available On Linux For SteamOS · · Score: 2

    Simple. If you don't want to support DRM, use GOG.com. They are planning to add Linux games this fall.

    To what extent it uses multithreading?

  13. Re:Please, please just stop... on Firefox 30 Available, Firebug 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    I see. Then you shouldn't create hyperlinks at all (and somehow avoid Slashdot automatically creating them). That is, if you want to be security conscious, as you say. For example, this is a "slashdot.org" link which actually points to example.com: http://slashdot.org/

  17. Re:Please, please just stop... on Firefox 30 Available, Firebug 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    It's becoming one of these memes on Slashdot. When Firefox is the topic, people haven't necessarily done thorough testing of it, but they know that "Firefox looks like Chrome now" is the angry thing that they must robotically say to sound educated. Same thing with Ubuntu's Unity or Microsoft's Ribbon Interface, that they suck is just the thing you must say around these parts. People like to form a hive mind.

  18. Re:Did they fix the memory-hogging bug? on Firefox 30 Available, Firebug 2.0 Released · · Score: 1

    No. It is generally a single-threaded program (the UI widgets probably have their own thread though). Bug #392073. Bill McCloskey has written about the plans to make Firefox multithreaded.

  19. Re:Valve has no one to blame but themselves on Alienware Swaps SteamOS For Windows · · Score: 1

    SteamOS is still in beta, so there is expected to be rough edges. I suppose that when they release proper 1.0, the installation will be simple.

  20. Re:Finally, a PC version! on Grand Theft Auto V For Modern Platforms Confirmed · · Score: 1

    I heard that the initial release of GTA IV PC version was also very buggy. These days, it has been patched to be relatively stable.

    I'm quite sure it won't be upscaled.

    Ya think?! My point was that GP's $200 OpenCaster budget does not include the transmitter.
