  1. Re:And it's fucking irritating on Apple Deemed Top of Movie Product Placement Charts · · Score: 1

    They're attractive.

    Maybe if you're gay. Us old-school hetero males have problems with effeminate styling. I know it's uncouth nowadays to question anything feminine but...

    And how many of us do you see on TV?

  2. Re:And it's fucking irritating on Apple Deemed Top of Movie Product Placement Charts · · Score: 1

    Well, at least in America, but actually everywhere in the world, almost everyone is stupid. Yet they still make shows about smart people? Doesn't this make them stand out, potentially corrupting the character?

  3. Re:Link A has more hits than link B on Windows Browser Ballot: the Winners and the Losers · · Score: 1

    Starting off by throwing up dialog boxes and asking the user questions they cannot answer is NOT helpful and just reminds people that Windows are hard to use.

    When you think of it this way, it's not so bad anymore.

  4. Re:Ham Sandwich Theorem on Erdos' Combinatorial Geometry Problem Solved · · Score: 1

    Actually, the correct term in this case would be center of volume.

  5. Re:PayPal is within their rights and legal in this on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    How about "Housing"?

    Oh, the eternal struggle between Capitalization and Socialization...

    "...invade the land of the sand people"

    The Sand People are easily startled but they'll soon be back, and in greater numbers. Take that rich elite!

    Will they bring worms?

  8. Re:They should use http://flattr.com instead on PayPal Freezes Support Account For Bradley Manning · · Score: 1

    Strange, this is from the same page:

    When your revenue balance has reached €10 or more you can withdraw the money to your PayPal or Moneybookers account.

  10. Re:What's going on? on Ubuntu: Where Did the Love Go? · · Score: 1

    And then your discover Arch. Bleeding edge, yet everything works.

  11. Re:This is important? on Science Channel Buys Rights To Firefly · · Score: 1

    Sheldon was crazy about Firefly as well, in fact he reserved the time slot for several years into the future.

  12. Re:Uhm no thanks on GeoHot Asks For Donations To Fight Sony · · Score: 1

    Also, if you're going to cheat, you may as well watch a movie, you fucking griefer assholes.

    You got it all wrong, games are actually more like movies with cheats.

  13. Re:I'd love to donate, just not via Paypal on GeoHot Asks For Donations To Fight Sony · · Score: 1

    Well, maybe internationally, but at least in Slovenia, mailing an envelope costs ~40cents, while banks (and, ironically, the post office as well) will charge well over an euro for a transaction to another bank. Of course I'm not smart enough to comprehend how can processing and delivering mail cost more than changing a couple of number in a computer, but that's probably just me.

  14. Re:You mean... on Nokia Plan B Was Just a Hoax · · Score: 1

    I want the Nokia 3310 Touch !!!

  15. Re:Tl, dr on Compared and Contrasted: OpenOffice V. LibreOffice · · Score: 1

    I have no problem with giving it time, and I use LibreOffice already. However, I don't think posting an article about their differences to Slashdot is worth it.

  16. Tl, dr on Compared and Contrasted: OpenOffice V. LibreOffice · · Score: 2, Informative

    To summarize the summary of the summary: They're the same.

  17. Re:Gosh, denial is a popular place on Remote Bug Found In Ubuntu Kerberos · · Score: 1

    In most projects, these are the bugs saying "make it more like Windows".

  18. Re:If.... on Virus Shuts Down Australian Ambulance Dispatch Service · · Score: 2

    Who do they call for support?

    Troll.

    Unfortunately, TrollTech (which is a great example of what GP described) will soon be owned by Microsoft.

  19. Re:Whelp on Anonymous Claims Possession of Stuxnet Worm · · Score: 1

    And then people will register an account there, and comment on these news, or just, you know, post anonymously.

  20. Re:Documentation? on Nokia Gives Some Hints On the Future of Qt · · Score: 2

    Wait, what? The Qt documentation is by far the best I've seen. Care to point out a few examples where it's conflicting and/or lacking?

  21. Re:Nokisoft or Mickria - whats better? on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1

    Indeed, if these two companies have anything in common it's being late to the party.

  22. Re:Sell sell sell on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 2

    Yes, Qt in its current form will be freely available, but what if nobody from Nokia works on it? No more new features?

  23. Re:all 3 are wrong on Obama Calling For $53B For High Speed Rail · · Score: 1

    Spending 500B on some remote country == OK.
    Spending 500B on your own country, benefiting the same people who elected you and paid this very money through taxes = Bad.

  25. Re:...and the USA is building wind farms on China Building City For Cloud Computing · · Score: 1

    ``China Building City For Cloud Computing'' -- scientific progress, business development etc., vs. ``US To Fire Up Big Offshore Wind Energy Projects'' -- populism towards tree-hugging hippies, and not even cost-effective at that. Guess which action will pay back better in the longer run?

    I don't think you really got a representative example of US activities. Rather compare money spent for renewable energy sources (which are a good thing, even if not effective in the short run) with military expenses and oil-related costs.
