  1. Still using it on Eclipse Foundation Celebrates 10 Years · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Even though I've owned a copy of IntelliJ IDEA for over a year, I still use Eclipse everyday for Java development. Latest version is great and the extensions available for it make it even better.

  2. Re:Use different passwords for different things on New 25-GPU Monster Devours Strong Passwords In Minutes · · Score: 1

    Any reason why this over just LastPass?

  3. Lawyers getting paid on Magician Suing For Copyright Over Magic Trick · · Score: 1

    How fast did their lawyers find that video that it only had 14 views on it when screenshotted, impressive.

  4. Re:Why the anxiety? on Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Firefox Sync is pretty awesome if you use multiple computers, requires version 4 and above.

  5. Re:In other words, we hate updating software on HTC Unlocks Bootloader For All of Its Devices · · Score: 2

    What's Netflix have to do with anything? Their app runs fine on my Evo 4g with Cyanogenmod 7.

  6. Re:Whoosh on New Humble Indie Bundle Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Most people purchasing are using Windows, and most of those users will use the Steam key provided. I don't know if Valve will charge HIB for using their bandwidth or how any of that works at all, but most of the bandwidth costs are just running their server smoothly during the sale.

  7. Re:$1000 processor vs the world on Intel Launches Sandy Bridge-E Series Processors · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because it actually provides context on how much better (or not how much better) that $1000 processor is. Plus, how many other desktop $1000 processors are out there to benchmark against? Certainly nothing from AMD.

  8. Re:horrid scores... on Modern Warfare 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I've got no horse in this race but not also calling the user side pathetically biased is a disservice to your argument.

  9. Tragic losses? on Is the Apple App Store a Casino? · · Score: 2

    Isn't the developer fee like $100 a year? That seems incredibly removed from tragic. Yes, a developer or team might spend some of their own money to develop an app or advertise it, but that money is going elsewhere, and not Apple (except for buying the required Macs to actually develop). So it doesn't seem like a casino to me, just inexperience or bad reading of the market.

  10. Re:I buy HDDs around this time of year... on ASUS Running Out of Hard Disks · · Score: 1

    Best Buy has 2TB Seagates for $75, 5900 RPM and five year warranties. Excellent deal right now.

  11. Re:How do we work this on Jobs Wanted To Destroy Android · · Score: 1

    Wait, iOS doesn't support widgets?

    What year is this, again?

  12. Re:"you don't need to be a computer scientist" on Ballmer Slams Android As Cheap and Overcomplicated · · Score: 1

    That's a good tip, I'll keep it in mind for the future.

  13. Re:"you don't need to be a computer scientist" on Ballmer Slams Android As Cheap and Overcomplicated · · Score: 1

    My mother in law has an Android phone (along with her husband, my wife, her brother, my two sisters, and my mom) and she also runs Linux! She knows next to nothing about computers and I was sick of dealing with their Windows installation every time I visited, so a few years ago I installed Ubuntu and called it a day. Only questions I get now is when she accidentally drags the Gnome bar somewhere or there's a printer issue (and it has always been a physical printer issue, nothing with CUPS).

    If my mother in law can run Android successfully, anyone can.

  14. Re:The strike zone *is* subjective, though. on Ask Slashdot: Project Scope For MLB Robot Umpires? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I pretty much agree with you. I like the semi-looseness of baseball: the phantom tags and such. Some of that has just been developed naturally for safety over the years and you would pretty much have to outlaw any kind of take-out slide to also eliminate phantom tags and such.

    To me, baseball is what it is today from its history, nostalgia, and aura around the game. It might sound somewhat mystical, but in some ways, the umpires are as important to the game as the players. Plus, I don't want baseball to turn into football where they spend three minutes looking to make sure the feet land in bounds and all that, though I guess I don't mind instant replay for non-subjective things like foul balls and home runs.

  15. hmm on Searching For Mark Pilgrim · · Score: 1

    Well, way to help a brother out.

  16. Re:Her Defense Was Pretty Good Too on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm an adult with faith but his complaint seems more than warranted.

  17. No on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I'm in the full beta test, not just weekend, and unless your TOS is different, there will be no discussion here. All beta testers can admit is:
    1. The fact that the game exists
    2. The fact that you are in the beta test

    So yeah, umm... just try it out?

  18. Re:So on Top 1% of iOS Game Developers Make a Third of All Revenue · · Score: 1

    It's hilarious how Slashdot used to be a gathering place for people actually interested in technology, now it's been reduced to this.

  19. Re:Biggest thing is SUPPORT on Google Preps Devs For One-Size-Fits-All Android · · Score: 2

    My wife, sister, mom, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and father-in-law all have Android phones, actually only two variations among them. I would root them all if I could, but it voids the warranty, and I don't want to be _that_ guy who screws people from getting their phone fixed. Instead, I just listen to them complain about City ID, etc. Ah well.

  20. Re:and it's thwarted with...... on Ask Slashdot: Low-Cost Tools To Track Employees' Web Use? · · Score: 1

    I personally like socks over port 443, encrypted traffic on the expected encrypted port!

  21. Re:Would be nice if on Xbox 360 Reset Hack Yields Unsigned Code Execution · · Score: 1

    It would be nice if you didn't phrase half of your post in the subject so I could figure out WTF you were trying to say.

  22. Thanks, Rob on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Thanks for everything and good luck.

  24. Re:Pre-fetching requires PERFECT security... on Google Patches 30 Chrome Bugs, Adds Instant Pages · · Score: 1

    First time I encountered nastiness from pre-fetching was from using Stumbleupon. It would pre-fetch the next stumble (this can thankfully be disabled, though it should be noted you would have stumbled to it either way), so I would get a Noscript warning on like a Youtube or Wikipedia page, bit bizarre. Only until I stumbled again and actually landed on the page in question would things become clearer.

  25. Re:Oh, look on Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 (Real Money) Auction House · · Score: 1

    They're called _Activision_ Blizzard, and jumped the shark years ago. Let me know when they jump the Death Star or something.
