  1. Re:Wonder what brand is best now... Intel? on Samsung Acknowledges and Fixes Bug On 840 EVO SSDs · · Score: 1

    Nope, mine's been running pretty much non-stop for 5 years. Quality. Too bad my upgrade was an 840 EVO....

  2. Re:USB Device Recommendation on Google Adds USB Security Keys To 2-Factor Authentication Options · · Score: 2

    I just bought a NEO-N, that little tiny device will be nice to have and it also supports NFC. Both NEO support NFC.

  3. Re:Our PC society will be our demise! on Experts Decry Randomized Ebola Treatment Trials As Unethical, Impractical · · Score: 1

    That particular party needs to have serious ideas and proposals, clean out their ranks (from said nazis, racists and fascists - who have publicly proclaimed their beliefs), and last but not least, have competent people. There's so many videos out there of "politicians" that can't count or have no grasp of their own political agenda. When they get confronted about shit they've done/said they conveniently have collective memory loss (their favourite phrase is "I don't remember"). I'm sad and quite embarrassed that 13% voted for these idiots.

  4. Re:not complicated...monopology on Why America Won't Match Sweden's Cheap, Fast, Competitive Internet Services · · Score: 2, Informative

    It's both. Regional monopoly on Layer 2. Small monthly fee for subscribers to access the municipal net and a choice of providers with the desired services. Each muni net takes care of building, maintaining and upgrading of the hardware. Providers take care of any other services. My net currently provide Gb connections to end-customers and a variety of services including several IPTV, phone and Internet providers. Most have both package deals and a la carte while some only provide internet access depending on your needs as a customer.

  5. Re:If you're not smart enough to realize this is B on Friendly Reminder: Do Not Place Your iPhone In a Microwave · · Score: 2

    Abuse of the system might lead to someone that actually needs help to not get help because all the operators are busy with prank calls, hence it's an offence to call the number when not in dire need. You can be fined for it.

  6. Re:Get-togethers? With DnD geeks? And enough PCs? on Ask Slashdot: What Are the Best Games To Have In Your Collection? · · Score: 1

    SP campaing and modules are still playable, but maybe that's because of the GOG-patch.

  7. Re:The first ever business course on Professor Steve Ballmer Will Teach At Two Universities This Year · · Score: 1

    Better not sit in 1st row.

  8. Re:so much for a "free" market on Elon Musk Addresses New Jersey's Tesla Store Ban · · Score: 1

    None of you get to complain about gas-prices until you pay Swedish rates, which is about $2.229 per liter or $8.44 per gallon today.

  9. Re:Chicken little on Whatever Happened To the IPv4 Address Crisis? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, many ISPs have begun to NAT, for the regular user while still keeping the option of a regular adress for those that want/need it. Most will never know they're NATed and won't care nor need anything else for their everyday surfing.

  10. Re:Battery Life? on ChipSiP Smart Glass Specs Better Than Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    TFA said 3h battery with option to add another battery-pack on other ear. Now, if that is an accurate time while in-use remains to be seen.

  11. Re:Nothing left to do on Lavabit Case Unsealed: FBI Demands Companies Secretly Turn Over Crypto Keys · · Score: 1

    *facepalm* on my part.

    *facepalm* on your face like everyone else. Dirty boy.

    That's the head he's thinking with anyway, so why not.

  12. Re:Derivative work on Google Patents Displaying Athletes On Sports Fields · · Score: 1

    Oh come on, this is comedy gold, mod parent up :)

  13. Unsecure servers but not the real source on The Internet's Bad Neighborhoods · · Score: 1

    They're right in that the SPAM comes from servers in those countries, but they are most probably not the original source. I would not be surprised if the only thing they are guilty of is insecure and badly maintained servers that someone found and is utilizing for sending SPAM, and to find the real culprit you'd have to analyse the log-files of every server.

  14. Re:SimCity Rescued? on Hacker Skips SimCity Full-Time Network Requirement · · Score: 1

    They never had a proper beta, they had a Demo-play masqueraded as a beta with suggestions to tell friends about the game. And with EA's history of banning accounts, making people unable to play other titles, for making "negative" feedback I'm sure many were at least a little cautious.

  15. Re:Get TeamViewer on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Set Up a Parent's PC? · · Score: 1

    If your TeamViewer is logged in as an Administrator you won't lose control at all, you can click any elevation dialogue you need to.

  16. Re:Get TeamViewer on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Set Up a Parent's PC? · · Score: 1

    After years and years of troubleshooting friends and families PC's over the phone, installing TeamViewer on their machines was the best decision ever. Has saved me many hours and a lot of grief.

  17. Re:Make a white suit out of it on New Threadlike Carbon Nanotube Fiber Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Nah, make me the suit from Continuum TV-series instead, I want that tech :)

  18. Re:40 million too high? on Vendors Sue Dutch Government Over Media Levies · · Score: 1

    That's what we've been jokingly discussing since we got a levy on CD/DVD media, and now we also get that levy on external HDDs and USB-drives here in Sweden. Either way, a levy on storage-media is not and never was the answer to anything, don't know how it can even be considered. One of the arguments for this new levy on external HDDs was: "It's primary function is for private copying" which is just ludicrous...

  19. Re:Extinct? on Artificial Misting System Allows Reintroduction of Extinct Toad · · Score: 1

    Any which way, they'll croak.

    XD
    How long did it take you to think that one up?

  20. Re:Pay to rent more boxes on Boxee TV's Unlimited Cloud-based DVR Holds Users Hostage To Monthly Fees · · Score: 1

    Most IP-PVRs can record one stream and play another, but can't access a 3rd unless you get a second box due to the limitations of the HDD. The ISP I used to work for allows 5 multicast streams on a LAN connection, more than that any you get kinda cramped broadband speeds, even on 100+.

  21. Ghost on Google Maps Introduces 8-Bit Quest Maps · · Score: 1

    I found a ghost @ 51.727088,0.175694, wonder what that's about.

  22. Re:More decent gameplay, less multiplayer on Too Much Multiplayer In Today's Games? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I would actually have loved a co-op mode for both Fallout 3 and Dragon Age... personally I think that would have made those games a lot more fun than they already are.

  23. All fees and expenses on French Company Offers Kidnapping Vacations · · Score: 1

    All fees and expenses will be paid through ransom-notes sent to your family, think of the joy when they receive the first notice of your impromptu vacation.

  24. Re:I beat it ages ago on Man "Beats" World of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

    You, sir, just won the thread with this epic quote :p
