  1. Collateral Damage on Google Resolves Gmail Name Dispute In UK · · Score: 1

    That's why my @googlemail.com contact suddently disappeared from my Android phone's list of contacts...

  2. Re:Camera question on Federal Judge Orders Schools To Stop Laptop Spying · · Score: 1

    Apparently it does when it comes to sexting cases, where both the victim and perpetrator are one and the same, a child.

    "Why the 'F does the page have to reload when I hit the back button"

    Because a lot of web pages (including slashdot) are served with HTTP headers that tell the browser not to cache them, and the browser follows that directive. Yes, it's annoying. I use tabs for that reason too.

  6. IT manager gets fired over his private opinion on EU Rejects Law To Cut Pirates Off From Their ISP · · Score: 1

    In other news, an IT manager at the largest french TV network got fired over sending (from his private account) an e-mail to his local representative, in which he argued against HADOPI (the french anti-piracy bill).

  7. Re:Radiohead did it first..... on Bohemian Rhapsody On Old Hardware · · Score: 1

    You know something's really wrong when the mixing on that thing sounds better than most hit albums out there...

  8. Not so obvious on Phoenix Police Seize PCs of a Blogger Critical of the Department · · Score: 3, Informative

    Anyone worth their salt knows nothing is stored in the cable modem.

    I don't know about the USA, but in France, all major ISPs provide their customers with "boxes" that can not only act as a modem/router/wireless access point, but also provide phone service over IP, IPTV, and sometimes include a hard drive for PVR functionality; mine can even act as a FTP server (that's an advertised functionality), with either the included hard drive or even a USB flash drive plugged into the box.

    Anyone worth their salt knows that, right? Anyway, I don't expect the police to be fully aware of the latest advances in consumer hardware, so I don't think it's completely illegitimate for them to seize anything that looks related to computing equipement.

  9. Re:By what benchmark? on Supercomputer Built With 8 GPUs · · Score: 1

    Intel begs to differ. Not that I'm buying into their marketing.

  12. Re:Real significance: Free as in Freedom on Reznor Follows Radiohead, Offers Free Album · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't forget The WIRED CD compilation that was bundled with the november 2004 issue of Wired Magazine, and featured somewhat high profile artists such as Beastie Boys, Danger Mouse, Chuck D, etc... Three tracks were released under the Noncommercial Sampling Plus Creative Commons license, the rest under the Sampling Plus license. For me, that was the real start of that trend, although it took quite some time to catch on.

    And here I thought this was the place for "stuff that matters".
