  1. Re:They have improved... on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    "yet they don't spy on me or serve me ads". Aparently you haven't used Ubuntu lately.

  2. Re:no love for mutt? on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 2

    Yup, Mutt is right up there with the Links web browser.

  3. Re:I'm tired of Google's power grab on Apple and Google Joining Forces On Kodak Patents Bid · · Score: 1

    That is fine, just don't use Ubuntu. The other distros don't phone home.

  4. Re:Watch out Google, Facebook might sue! on Google Launches Private Android App Stores · · Score: 1

    Yup and for about $100, one cannot really go wrong with those things.

  5. Re:statement pulled from ass? on Hagfish Slime Could Make Super-Strong Clothes · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Archaea, which doesn't seem to have evolved in billions of years.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaea

    Clue: Archaea are the organisms that makes oil from methane.

  6. Inmates running the Asylum on McAfee Arrested In Guatemala · · Score: 1

    Maybe he should rather be in an asylum. He sounds bat shit crazy. It is probably due to a combination of syphillus and crack.

  7. Re:And yet more glorification of killing technolog on Army Tests Autonomous Black Hawk Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Turning the other cheek only works if the other party is a 60 lb unarmed girl. I think it is very good that you are living in such a nice padded coccoon that you can actually believe that pacifism is a viable strategy. It shows that the police and military are successful in keeping you a safe and insulated mommy's little baby with no real word experience, but one day, when you venture out of the basement, please don't go anywhere with grafiti on a wall, stick to the major shopping mall food courts and you should not come to any harm.

  8. but can it run Nethack? on But Can It Run Crysis 3? · · Score: 0

    I wonder what is the minimum system to run Nethack?

  9. Re:BBC Images show an undamaged ScanEagle drone on Iran Claims To Have Downed Another US Drone · · Score: 1

    They probably just bought one on Ebay.

  10. Meanwhile in UAE... on Iran Claims To Have Downed Another US Drone · · Score: 1

    A UAE sheikh complained that some delinquent Iranian children had shot one of his prize eagles and is claiming 10 billion Dirhams blood money...

  11. Re:Short term gain on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1

    MS Office? That is what Codeweavers Crossover is for.

  12. Re:Looking to implement SP on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1

    Here, download a KnowledgeTree VM instead. It is trivial to install and it works way better than SP: http://bitnami.org/stack/knowledgetree

  13. Re:SharePoint is like a Swiss Army Gun on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Why does the farmer care about the cows feeling on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 2

    Hah, poor sap never heard of Zimbra and KnowledgeTree. Ah well, good luck with your cripple Sharepoint, you deserve it.

  15. Re:How to treat a loyal customer on Microsoft Steeply Raising Enterprise Licensing Fees · · Score: 1

    SQLledger?

  16. Re:Probe Dupe - Phoenix Was First - Viking maybe on Mars Rover Finds Complex Chemicals But No Organic Compounds · · Score: 1

    Yup, I also remembered that one. Even worse, the Viking probes likely also found the same schtuff, circa 1975.

  17. Re:Great potential on Auto-threading Compiler Could Restore Moore's Law Gains · · Score: 1

    We've been doing similar things for decades with Gate Array programming languages. Debugging is hard, but not impossible.

  18. Re:My life is now complete on Scientists Develop Chocolate That Won't Melt At High Temperatures · · Score: 1

    Chocolate bars never manage to stay in my posession long enough to be forgotten about...

  19. Statistics on Just Say No To College · · Score: 1

    Hmm, you need a tertiary education to understand statistics and why some people make it big without formal education...

  20. Ripping is so last century on Slashdot Asks: SATA DVD Drives That Don't Suck for CD Ripping? · · Score: 1

    Since I discovered Streamtuner, ripping became a total waste of time. I don't even care about losing my ripped CD collection anymore.

  21. Re:Cool but SLOOOOOOW on Raspberry Pi's $25 Model A Hits Production Line · · Score: 1

    You forgot the 3x shipping which would be about $300 to my part of the world.

  22. Sensitivity on A Blood Test That Screens For Cancer · · Score: 1

    If the test is too sensitive, then it will likely find that everybody has multiple cancers right from -8 months.

  23. Why not use an Android tablet? on In Calculator Arms Race, Casio Fires Back: Color Touchscreen ClassPad · · Score: 1

    A proper tablet with Octave or SciLab would be much better and probably cheaper too.

  24. Re:ADHD girl on Inside an Amazon Warehouse · · Score: 5, Funny

    You mean Bracodes...

  25. It is completely useless anyway on The Coming Wave of In-Dash Auto System Obsolescence · · Score: 1

    Obsolescence doesn't make any difference really. The only thing I use in my in-dash gizmo is the USB slot to play music. Other than that, I still need to drive the damn car myself. Until I can afford either a full time driver or a self driving car, an in dash system won't get any use.
