  1. Re:but but but... Apple on CarrierIQ: Most Phones Ship With "Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    wow, a whole 10%. Around here we call that a marketing bullet point.

  2. Re:Recording on Ask Slashdot: What's a Good Tablet/App Combination For Note-Taking? · · Score: 0

    I am of the mind that if it can be heard by human ear, it can be recorded. You shouldnt have to ask to change recording devices from brain to object. Logically speaking, you shouldnt even be able to take notes if they dont want to be recorded.

    Dont be so anxious to spill blood. Revolutions and Civil War are a nasty NASTY business.

    No art is made from the void. All artists/creators stand on the shoulders of giants. THATS how we lay claim to another's work. IP is a SOCIAL BARGAIN, please try to remember that.

  6. Re:At this point on German Copyright Group To Collect From Creative Commons Event · · Score: 2

    Because the way its expressed has meaning. Bread and circuses has an acerbic tone to it, there is an undercurrent of meaning you would lose if you 'fixed' it. Circus has more then one specific meaning in english by the way, and the way its used in this phrase is entirely correct.

  7. Re:This is news because it's on iOS, right? on iOS App Acoustically Measures Distances Up To 25 Meters · · Score: 2

    What I want to know is why do i need a 3rd party app to turn on the flash emitter? This is Doom 3 levels of stupidity regarding the utility of a light source.

  8. Re:Awesome for the environment on In-Vitro Muscle Cells, It's What's For Dinner · · Score: 1

    Yeah so much smarter to solve this problem then to encourage people to have less kids.....

    Works great with the Xbox360 controller on PC.

    Remember when we used to buy things and we actually owned them? I'm fine with broadcasting the message on all channels, but dont subvert control of my hardware.

    Typical Canadian, cant fight or argue for shit, but is a samurai of smugness.

    There would be a lot of talk, but very little done. Sure the world might try sanctions and such, but I assure you, no foreign military will be coming to your rescue against us.

    "Fairly large demographic of canadians"

    "An estimated 2.8 million Canadian citizens live abroad,......57 per cent of all overseas Canadians live in the United States, Hong Kong, the United Kingdom or Australia." from http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/story/2009/10/28/canada-emigration-c.html

    I dont consider less then 1% of 350 million people a 'fairly large demographic"

  14. Re:Not needed any more on The Political Assault On Los Alamos National Laboratory · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Cutting off our oil would be an act of war, flat out. How long do you think Canada would last against us, especially considering the overwhelming majority of your country is within 100 miles of our border. Cracks me up when uppity Canadians forget their place at the North American table. You were Britain's bitch, we are the ones that gave them a huge black eye.

  15. Re:So on IEA Warns of Irreversible Climate Change In 5 Years · · Score: 1

    The conundrum isnt deciding when is too many, the conundrum comes from deciding what to do about it. We have too many NOW, and I REALLY look down at people that have more then 2 kids. Cant tell you how many hybrid drivin soccer moms ive met that are totally oblivious to environmental impact their 3 extra kids will cause.

    His name tells me all i need to know about him as a gamer. When you played Oddjob in Goldeneye at my house, you werent invited back.

  18. Re:The inevitable comparison, so let's get it over on Modern Warfare 3 Released · · Score: 1

    O please, both the PS3 and the Xbox lock up, so does my iphone from shitty software. How do you crash a console you say? by releasing buggy code and saying 'we'll fix it later"

  19. Re:WebOS user on HP Delays WebOS Decision · · Score: 1

    Finally upgraded from my Palm Pre Plus to iphone 4S. I REALLY was hoping Palm was going to make something great out of WebOS. The Pre Plus hardware was nice and i never got the bad keyboard or any other mechanical issues and it ran pretty damn good.

    I really wish i could understand the mentality of the sad mind that posts this stuff. What is the possible gain from this?

  21. Re:They'd better build one ... on Tesla To Build a Rapid-Charging Station Between LA and SF · · Score: 1

    The Forza 4 Top Gear intro was cheese at its finest. I think Gran Tourismo 5 spent most of its capital in taking way too long to come out, but at least its got real motorsport chops.

  22. Re:Instead of Financial transactions? on Bill Gates Advocates Tax On Financial Transactions · · Score: 2

    Because the stock market deals in REAL goods and property, not just straight capital exchange. People investing in the economy is a societal net gain. Gambling is only a societal net gain through taxation, hence why its taxed more.

  23. Re:Because on Why Microsoft Embraced Gaming · · Score: 1

    Which probably means no modding tools, all addon functionality will be DLC. Even if they have user made addons, they will have to be approved and distro'ed through the MS app store.

    Just like everyone credits only Edison for the light-bulb and his other inventions, when in fact he had a team of 'engineers' too. People need a figurehead to focus on.
