  1. Obligatory on Microsoft Blesses LGPL, Joins Apache Foundation · · Score: 0, Redundant

    It's a trap!

  2. Re:You forgot to add on Open WiFi Owners Off the Hook In Germany · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I use a FON-router that has two networks, one private and one open. I have a bandwith cap on the public one, couldn't this somehow be seen as thwarting illegal downloads (or all downloads for that matter) by other users?

    Weak defense maybe, but theoreticaly... ?

  3. Re:But they still have to foot the bandwidth bill on Open WiFi Owners Off the Hook In Germany · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I go to Germany about three times a year and all commercials for Internet connections boast about "flatrate", one could assume this is the norm there.

  4. Re:Malicious Intent on Open WiFi Owners Off the Hook In Germany · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Open WiFi = indecent exposure?

  5. Re:Let me get this straight... on Geomicroblogging, Buzzword or Reality? · · Score: 1

    Kinda like putting analog clocks in a computers GUI i guess.

  6. Re:They should use this here on earth on Adopt-a-Star To Fund Research · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's just me... but I'd be surprised if you HADN'T seen someone writing on a grain of rice.

  7. Re:One word for you USA... on US To Get EU Private Citizen Data · · Score: 1

    Its easier to get USA out of EU than to get EU out of itself.

  8. One word for you USA... on US To Get EU Private Citizen Data · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    GTFO

  9. Re:The sad part? on WTF? NC Offers to Replace 10,000 License Plates · · Score: 1

    Because everyone knows that if you are unfamiliar with slang, you have no knowledge in technology.

  11. Re:Hero! on New Guitar Hero Drumset Showcased · · Score: 1


    It is, of course, one thing to detract from those playing Guitar Hero when one has little music experience, and another thing when a music afficionado has devoted years of practice to learning how to really play music and sees people devoting great time and effort (and a nontrivial amount of money, for that matter) towards mastering some freakish simulacrum of real music, and expresses disappointment at untapped potential.

    Of course, just like it is one thing to detract from those playing Counter-Strike when one has little war experience, and another thing when a soldier has devoted years of practice learning how to really kill and sees people devoting great time and effort (and maybe money for a new mouse) towards mastering some freakish simulacrum of real killing, and expresses disappointment at untapped potential.

  12. Re:Please... on Google Assists In Arrest Of Indian Man · · Score: 1

    So if someone was attacked with a short one-handed sword, it would be a good idea to include in a short news summary that "he was stabbed with a gladius"? In a summary, there is no need to use such specific words, simply sword would suffice as to maximise the ease of understanding for the reader.

  13. Please... on Google Assists In Arrest Of Indian Man · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Having just read two books taking place in India by Indian authors, I am extremely tired of the mixing of Indian words with English. Please, call it a cane, most people know what that is... a lathi, not so many.

  14. Re:Security Implications? What Security Implicatio on Unmanned Aircraft Pose US Airspace Problems · · Score: 3, Funny

    You are asking me if I am comfortable with having a 15 meter wide killing machine in my vicinity?

    No, no I am not.

    Unless it provides me with a scan of the immediate surroundings showing all enemies on my minimap.

  15. Re:The major problem with unmanned aircraft on Unmanned Aircraft Pose US Airspace Problems · · Score: 1

    I'd say "Feminist-Mom" is more of a troll here than Anonymous Coward.

  16. Re:Security Implications? What Security Implicatio on Unmanned Aircraft Pose US Airspace Problems · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It might crash (not saying it's more likely to do so than a manned one)

  17. When... on The World's Spookiest Weapons · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...are we gonna get a newspost about weapons on slashdot that DOESN'T mention "the gay bomb"?

  18. Uhm... on Senators OK $1 Billion for Online Child Porn Fight · · Score: 1

    I believe "thinking of the children" might actually be the core problem here...

  19. Correction on BioShock Movie To Be Made By Universal · · Score: 1

    John Logan, who is recently known for the also-crappy Sweeny Todd. fixed
  20. Re:Sigh on Monsanto's Harvest of Fear · · Score: 1

  23. Tag on Obsolete Technical Skills · · Score: 1

    It is my opinion that this article may now be tagged "troll", or "flamebait". I can't keep up with the intertwining meanings of these words.

  24. Re:With such an article... on News Of SETI Signal Just Bad Reporting · · Score: 1

    Well, I am a 2nd generation Alien to Sweden from Germany. Though I assure you, we are hairy by nature (also we prioritize English below our own language).

  25. With such an article... on News Of SETI Signal Just Bad Reporting · · Score: 2, Funny

    it wouldn't surprise me if it said that at the time of the recieval, the equipment was "pointed at Uranus"
