Comment Re:Microsoft really shot themselves in the foot he (Score 1) 628

Not only does it pop out which is not a problem, it says "Tap here to decide what to do with this". I am on a laptop with no touch screen. Would it have been so hard to recognize your hardware and put the approriate verbage? I have had people call me and ask how do they use that since they have tapped the screen with their fingers but it did not work. They really need to do away with "touch" stuff if it is not a touch screen device!

Comment Old Stories Slashbox not displayed (Score 2) 2254

The old slashbox Old Stories that used to display on the bottom right side and showed the story headline and number of comments will not display. I made sure to check that box in my slashbox preferences, but no matter what I do, it will not display in either IE or Firefox. I did send an email to feedback on this but have heard nothing. This was a great slashbox as it usually displayed 2 days worth of stories that you could quickly browse to then read or comment on. Hope they can get this fixed quickly. I did check and uncheck other slashboxes and they seemed to work correctly, i.e. either showing or not showing.

What Should I Do With My Tech Junk? 521

Thomas Matysik writes "I'm attempting to de-clutter my house and I've hit a rough patch: the computer room. I've got a bunch of wires, hardware and software that (I think) were useful at one point in time, but these days it doesn't do much more than take up space. Selling it seems like it'd be a huge hassle and it seems really wasteful for me to just pitch all of this stuff in the dumpster. I've considered giving it away to Goodwill, but I'm afraid that's not the right sort of outlet for this stuff. My question: what should I do with all of my tech junk?"
