  1. Re:8 weeks instead of 2 months battery? on Amazon Debuts Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD In 2 Sizes · · Score: 1

    That's one thing I love about the Kindle line, they always had incredible battery life. It's only major con is lack of native Epub support.

  2. Re:Backlit?! on Amazon Debuts Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD In 2 Sizes · · Score: 4, Informative
  3. Re:Paper White!! Wait, what? on Amazon Debuts Kindle Paperwhite, Kindle Fire HD In 2 Sizes · · Score: 1

    It is e-ink, with a frontlight. The summary is wrong in saying backlight.

  4. Re:again? on Ask Slashdot: How To Monitor Your Own Bandwidth Usage? · · Score: 1

    I might be one of the few to do this but, DD-WRT and Tomato bandwith logging won't help you when you unplug your router every night since it reset all the stats when you do so.

  5. Re:In other words... on Microsoft: No Tablets Until It's Distinctive · · Score: 2

    Nothing innovative about bringing a locked PC that kept overheating to the console market. But I'll grant that XBox live is the part that was truly well done, and even today I think it's still the best online service.

  6. Re:Damned shame on Split Screen Co-op Is Dying · · Score: 1

    We are growing up. I used to LAN party all the time as a college student. But now I live 5 hours away from most of my friends, and most of us have careers and kids. I still play games with them online regularly, but not as long.

    Good for you, but what about their kids that won't get that fun you had of playing in the same room as other buddies? Timesplitter in co-op splitscreen, man that game was good, me and my bro had so many laughs! It would never have been the same playing online with a headset on.

  7. Re:Uh, not really on Google Chrome Now Has Resource-Blocking Adblock · · Score: 1

    Apart from not using all my memory, what can Chrome do that Firefox can't?

    Load /. and let you click on another tab while it loads.

  8. Warden's Keep? on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 1

    Still waiting to get something out of Warden's Keep where I let that wizard Avernus live. I guess I won't be seeing it in Dargon Age 2 from what I read here. :-/

  9. Re:Meanwhile, 3 hours by car away... on Seattle Flushes $5M High-Tech Toilets · · Score: 4, Informative

    How can it be decriminalised in Vancouver? Drug use and prostitution is a federal offense written in the criminal code of Canada, no city law can change or overrule that.

  10. Re:Great... just great. on HD DVD Prices Slashed By Toshiba · · Score: 1

    Yes, but right now people are buying Ratatouille on plain old DVD.

  11. I partly blame the "validators" on Has Wikipedia Peaked? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Personally, I stopped adding contribution when two articles I wrote(about 2 comic books series that where published by Dark Horse years ago)where marked for deletion. When I asked why, the validator answered that he did a google search and found nothing on the subject, so it was not worthy of being there. So there you have it, if it's not on google, it does not exist and has no business being in an encyclopedia where knowledge is supposed to be kept. With such an attitude, I saw no reason to continue adding stuff there.

  12. Re:Redundant? on Gaming Portal Announced By Wizards of the Coast · · Score: 1

    Err, so strange to see this comment on a website mostly visited by Linux distros advocates...

  13. Why give it a name? on PS3 Controller Officially Called 'Sixaxis' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I am wondering, why give it a name at all? Where people really saying "Hey, pass me the dualshock"? As for Nintendo, I can understand giving it's controllers a name to differenciate the 2 parts, but for sony, it is kinda useless.

  14. Do the math on ISPs Fight Against Encrypted BitTorrent Downloads · · Score: 1

    So, Bittorent represent 70% of the internet traffic, spam 50%, slashdot 20% and I get 0% in class for saying that 100% isn't the max anymore! Kin
