  1. Royal Mail on UK Gov't Outlines Plans To Privatize Royal Mail · · Score: 1

    If private, would it then still be 'Royal'?

  2. Planned? on Official: Microsoft To Acquire Nokia Devices and Services Business · · Score: 1

    I would be very curious to know if that was already discussed/planned (by Microsoft) when they allowed Nokia to become a 'premium' partner for using their Windows Phone OS a few years back

  3. Re:Comes to show to trust NO ONE on Apple Isn't the Next Microsoft (and That's a Good Thing) · · Score: 0

    Fastforward today and I think Steve Jobs is fucking a more greedy monster than Bill Gates ever was.

    What greedy monster is he f*cking? I'm also curious about what "greedy monster" Gates was f*cking. :)

  4. Will run on...? on First Laptop With Full-Sized Solar Panels Will Run On Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Should be: "First Laptop With Full-Sized Solar Panels Will Run On Sunlight"

  5. Samsung Galaxy S4 available with Vanilla Android on Forget Apple: Samsung Could Be Google's Next Big Rival · · Score: 1

    But then again they have released a version the Samsung Galaxy S4 as a pure "Vanilla" Android device. So that goes against the above theory

  6. $200.000 in fines on Hallibuton Pleads Guilty To Destroying Simulation Data From 2010 Gulf Oil Spill · · Score: 5, Informative

    "Under the plea agreement, which requires court approval, Houston-based Halliburton will also face three years' probation, pay the maximum fine of $200,000..."
    http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/07/25/halliburton-guilty-plea-destroying-evidence-deepwater-horizon/2588105/

    Not too bad... I think they may be able to afford it.

  7. Re:TRS 80 Model I on How Did You Learn How To Program? · · Score: 1

    10 CLS
    20 PRINT "JOE WAS HERE"
    30 GOTO 10

    30 GOTO 20 ?

  8. Power Bars and Gatorade on Omnidirectional Treadmill: The Ultimate FPS Input Device? · · Score: 2

    If they eat "Power Bars and Gatorade" while gaming on the treadmill they're still going to be fat... Try water and the occasional banana... or, you know. REAL food

  9. Ballanced? on Oracle Fixes 42 Security Vulnerabilities In Java · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Organizations should to take a long, hard look at Java and answer for themselves if it's worth it, Williamson added.". This doesn't sound very balanced. It sounds like he has some sort of ulterior motive

  10. Re:Contract vs. Vendor on Samsung Unveils the Galaxy S4 · · Score: 1

    Really? You have statistics that show that more than 50% of the people that bought a SGS3 were people who used to own an iPhone 4? Source?

  11. Re:Relativity on EU Car Makers Manipulating Fuel Efficiency Figures · · Score: 1

    This is like doping in cycling: Just as long as everybody dopes equally it's still a level playing field... Or perhaps he who as the most cash and the best doctors wins?

  12. Phone manufacturers won't like it on Plasma Active, Sailfish, and Ubuntu Phone Developers Discussing Common APIs · · Score: 1

    Now this would be great! But I think there are very strong economic interests against this. A common architecture would mean the phone manufactures couldn't keep their users locked to the platform where they have all their apps.

  13. Nokia needs to start making Android phones on Nokia Dethroned As Top Phone Maker By Samsung · · Score: 2

    Nokia's share will continue to drop for a while longer. Probably until they rethink their strategy and start producing Android phones. Windows Phone is a dead end.

  14. Re:Chinese on Ask Slashdot: 2nd Spoken/Written Language For Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    I'm sorry, my bad. Any major language that is spoken in India

  15. Chinese on Ask Slashdot: 2nd Spoken/Written Language For Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    Chinese or indian

  16. Re:Microsoft Office on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    It was a Pulp Fiction reference. I don't think anyone got it though :(

  17. Re:Microsoft Office on Ask Slashdot: What Video Games Keep You From Using Linux? · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft Office" ain't no game I've ever heard of. Can you shoot monsters in Microsoft Office?
