  1. Re:Japanese Military on Japan Unveils Largest Warship Since WW2 · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know what? It's also well past the time for them to have a flying space carrier with a huge mounted laser gun in the front too (which was what I was expecting with this new ship). Or maybe even a transforming space carrier with a massive super weapon on its shoulders. Very disappointed.

  2. Re:Google's against everything the FSF stands for. on FSF Launches Fundraiser For Replicant · · Score: 4, Informative

    You could have nuked the Samsung stuff last year by putting Cyanogenmod on it.

  3. Re:If it works, why worry. on AMD/ATI Drops Windows XP Support · · Score: 1

    You have a strange definition of "new". That thing has a 2.8 GHz Pentium 4 chip, which is only twice as powerful as the processor in my phone (Cortex A9 based) but uses 100x more power.

  4. Re:Not good enough on First Looks At Windows 8.1, Complete With 'Start' Button · · Score: 1

    I have Xubuntu on dual boot. Other language with input (especially Chinese and Japanese) were a pain in the ass to set up.

  5. Re:Not good enough on First Looks At Windows 8.1, Complete With 'Start' Button · · Score: 2

    I installed classic shell. Now I have all the benefits of Windows 8 (eg, faster internals, hyper-v, multi language display/input) and the start menu back. power off, restart, logout are all there.

  6. Re:Still? on NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Offers 2,304 Cores For $650 · · Score: 1

    Uhm... no. They're cutting double-precision floating point performance through the driver! Hardware is otherwise the same.

  7. Will Lincoln be in it? on Ask Neil Gaiman and Amber Benson About Their Kickstarter Vampire Movie · · Score: 2

    I'll only watch if the main character is a popular dead president.

  8. Re:Original Taste on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    The time to upgrade to Windows 8 Pro was before this past January when it was $15. Now, it's not such a good deal. Internally it's faster than Windows 7, comes with Hyper-V, and comes with IME and localizations for different languages (while most people don't care about this, I do, and MS's execution of this is much better than any of the Linux distros).

  9. Meh, it's like Brainfuck on Old Educational Computer Resurrected As a Spreadsheet · · Score: 1

    Brain Fuck. You can implement this in silicon too.

  10. Re:News at elleven on HTC Does What Google Wouldn't: Sell an LTE Phone That Sidesteps AT&T · · Score: 1

    Tell AT&T that you want to turn off texting. They'll do that. Then use Google Talk instead.

  11. Re:Upcoming supreme court case on You Don't 'Own' Your Own Genes · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If they don't throw out the patents, does that mean people with the mutation who do develop cancer have standing to sue the company then since they have patents on those genes?

  12. Re:Cyanogenmod not on Galaxy S4 on Galaxy S 4 Dominates In Early Benchmark Testing · · Score: 1

    Reading that link, they talk about not wanting to deal with Exynos. In the USA, however, we're going to get the Qualcomm Krait version. Qualcomm has been much better with releasing usable sources than Samsung. And Cyanogen works for Samsung USA, so it would seem to me that getting an SGS4 is a safe bet in the USA if you want Cyanogenmod.

  13. Re:They should have taken the $6B from Google on Groupon Still Losing Money, CEO Is Fired And Leaks Final Email · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'm not sure that's really what happened. I'll bet it's more like Google looked at their books, said "WTF???" and let Groupon "back away" from the deal to save face.

  14. WTF is up with the flag? on Update — Sensors Do Not Pick Up North Korean Radioactivity · · Score: 4, Funny

    A story about North Korea and you guys put a Japanese flag up?

  15. Hmmm... still waiting for something on Evil, Almost Full Vim Implementation In Emacs, Reaches 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Mainly the Linux emulator for emacs.

  17. Musicians are historically a low paying profession on As Music Streaming Grows, Royalties Slow To a Trickle · · Score: 2

    This has been the case throughout history. For every Mozart or Beethoven, there were 1000s more just singing or reading poetry aloud to a small drunk audience at the pub.

  18. Re:Questions regarding userlands: on Arch GNU/Linux Ported To Run On the FreeBSD Kernel · · Score: 2

    64-bit Linux binaries don't run under the compatibility layer.

    Exactly why I bought an SGS 2 so I can put Android 4.1 and Debian 7 on it.

    Debian dropped 386 support way back when 3.1 came out. Here are the reasons.

    More popular than Cyanogenmod? As popular? Less popular? I've never heard of this thing. Must be popular in China.

    Not sure what you mean by that. I have an AT&T SGS II. It's running Cyanogenmod 10 and is unlocked.
