  5. Re:people still use windows xp? on Kaspersky Update Breaks Internet Access For Windows XP Users · · Score: 1

    It works. I'm running it on my 6-year-old PC at home. I had considered upgrading to Windows 7 (or getting a new PC with Windows 7), but that's not an option anymore.

  6. Just in time for the holidays!! on RIM's BB10 Campaign Requires Some Serious Work · · Score: 1

    everybody gets lots of gifts on Ground Hog's Day and Presidents' Day, right?

  8. Is this news? on Scientists Take Most Accurate Reading Yet of Universe's Cooling · · Score: 2

    Quit complaining and put on a sweater!

  9. higher postage rates on Why You'll Pay For Netflix — Even If You Don't Subscribe To Netflix · · Score: 0

    I heard a report a while back that Netflix was a big reason for higher postage rates in the US (if anybody reading this still uses the US postage service).

  10. oblig xkcd on Instagram Loses Almost Half Its Daily Users In a Month · · Score: 4, Interesting
  11. What I'd like... on Microsoft Patents Tech That Would Silence Your Phone For You · · Score: 1

    The room should tell my phone that there's a movie, meeting, et al. going on (based on a published schedule)

    Calls should have a priority

    The phone should respond appropriately based on the situation and priority of the call

    For example: a low priority call might go to voice mail if I'm in the middle of a meeting, but make the phone ring if the same call happened after the meeting is over. A high priority call could make the phone vibrate or ring depending on the situation and my preferences.

  12. In other words... on This Isn't the Petition Response You're Looking For · · Score: 1

    we're going to have to wait for China to build it.

    the Higgs boson

  15. Key question: "Why?" on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    You say you ask him whether he can tell that your code is better, but it sounds like he can't.

    Maybe you should ask him WHY he coded a function the way he did (maybe he has a good reason). Depending on the answer, explain WHY you think your way is better.

  16. It's all theater on The U.S. Careens Over the Fiscal Cliff, Reaching Only Half of a Deal · · Score: 2

    Democrats wanted to raise taxes on the rich, but most of the Republicans vowed to not raise taxes.

    Now that we've gone over the fiscal cliff taxes have been raised without anybody having to vote for it. The can cut taxes for the non-rich so the Democrats get what they want and Republicans can say with a straight face that they didn't raise taxes.

    the truth is out there

  22. Re:So, maybe like Venus? on Other Solar Systems Could Be More Habitable Than Ours · · Score: 1

    I don't think distance from the sun is the only variable. A smaller planet in Venus's orbit would have less gravity to hold on to its atmosphere and less of a green house effect.

  23. the Cyanobacteria is always blue-greener on Other Solar Systems Could Be More Habitable Than Ours · · Score: 1

    on the other side of the galaxy

  24. If the alternative is a world without twinkies, maybe a zombie apocalypse wouldn't be so bad.
