  1. 'The Rook' and 'Stiletto' on Slashdot Asks: What Are Some Good Books You Read This Year? · · Score: 1

    by Daniel O'Malley. Urban fantasy with considerable comedy set in the UK.

  2. So where are SoCal and Cal going to get their water and electricity? The agreements were for the full state and I'm sure Oregon and Nevada would love to renegotiate.

  3. Not Quite Hollywood on What Are Some Documentaries and TV Shows That You Recommend To Others? · · Score: 1

    The history of Australian exploitation cinema.

  4. Texas Instruments Silent 700 Terminal... on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

  6. Martian Notifier on Ask Slashdot: What's The Most Useful 'Nerd Watch' Today? · · Score: 1

    Cheap, reliable, does what I need it to.

  7. Early adopters sometimes want things to be 'quirky' (see Prius, Linux...), but generally mass market does not. These tiles may not be the most efficient but they will get people to say 'Hey I wouldn't mind these on my roof'.

  8. Martian Notifier on No One Is Buying Smartwatches Anymore (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Very handy (no pun intended) good battery life, only has a few functions but does them well.

  9. I love CLI on OMGUbuntu: 'Why Use Linux?' Answered in 3 Short Words (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Actually, no I don't and that's why I don't use any *nix anymore. After years of dealing with BSD and others, I like a system where I don't have to build or configure every last item that I need to do my job. Linux is great for servers and all kinds of backends, but as a desktop day to day usage OS I hate it and having to maintain it.

  10. I don't blame Akamai at all and it sounds like Krebs doesn't either. There were a ridiculous amount of resources used on the attack and that shit gets expensive to block.

  11. Re:How about take away their guns. on New Tech Puts the Brakes On Bullets Fired From Police Sidearms · · Score: 5, Interesting

    If they're brandishing they're not a good guy. Brandishing means to draw and display to give the impression of intent to use.

  12. Re:Same old RMS on Interviews: RMS Answers Your Questions · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Goddamn he's still nuts.

  13. On my phone. on Windows 95 Turns 20 · · Score: 1

    I have a PC emulator on my phone and have both 95 and 98SE volumes on it just to mess with people.

  14. I saw it for free on Fantastic Four Reboot Released To Tepid Reception · · Score: 1

    and paid too much.

  15. Re:Modems, serial, dumb terminals on What's the Oldest Technology You've Used In a Production Environment? · · Score: 1

    First terminals I ever used for 'real' work were a DECWriter, an NCR portable, and a Silent 700. Running through a timesharing system and loading and saving programs on paper tape and cards.

  16. Main on Ask Slashdot: What Hardware Is In Your Primary Computer? · · Score: 1

    AMD Phenom 3.5 (I think that's what's in it right at this moment)
    8GB RAM
    Radeon 7730
    A bunch of Samsung 850 Pros
    Win 8.1

  17. Re:Galaxy SII on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Most Stable Smartphones These Days? · · Score: 1

    I got my techphobic mom an SIII and she hasn't had any issues with it (I would have heard the instant there was any hint of a problem). She doesn't have anything but the basic ggogle/android apps installed and all the Samsung bloatware removed.

  18. Re:Something Awful on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 1

    Oh are you sensative?

  19. Re:Something Awful on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 1

    But not the one they paid for access to which was the question.

  20. Something Awful on Ask Slashdot: Would You Pay For Websites Without Trolls? · · Score: 1, Informative

    That ten dollar charge stops a hell of a lot of trolling, so I'd say yes. You get banned you lose ten bucks.

  21. Re:No on Two Years of Data On What Military Equipment the Pentagon Gave To Local Police · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Private citizens are under far more accountability and surveillance than law enforcement.

  22. Re:Perhaps they can ask Google to forget that page on Hack an Oscilloscope, Get a DMCA Take-Down Notice From Tektronix · · Score: 1

    Used to be, many car companies did this with Remote Unlock fobs. The hardware would be installed but wouldn't be enabled.

  23. Re:Astronomy, and general poor night-time results. on Laser Eye Surgery, Revisited 10 Years Later · · Score: 1

    I got it done in 2000 at the age of 36. Now I'm almost 50 and I need reading glasses. That said it gave me a 12 year reprieve not five and I am happy every day that I had it done.

  24. Re:Best game programmer on The World's Best Living Programmers · · Score: 1

    I'd put Becky Holmberg up there. She's been writing fantastic code since the Apple II. She doesn't got a lot of recognition outside the industry, but burgerlib is fucking amazing.

  25. Re:Tegra? 4 Lbs? on HP (Re-)Announces a 14" Android Laptop · · Score: 1

    Battery required for a 14" Screen I guess. I like the idea actually. Quick booting and not using ChromeOS are pluses in my book.
