  1. Another article I read said that the UK has the same sort of law. Any unrequested item is a gift.

  2. Elon Musk owes an apology to John Broder on Tesla Model S Battery Drain Issue Fixed · · Score: 1

    The problem with the 12 volt battery is exactly what caused all the problems with the review car that John Broder wrote about. Hmm, I guess Broder might not have been the big liar that Musk and his gang of fanboys painted him out to be.

  3. There's no final price listed on the web page. It just says that they're counting every 100 Euro as an individual phone. Contributors get a full rebate when the phones are released, plus 2% for every month from the time they contributed to the release, as a reward for early donations. It could very well end up costing more than the Ubuntu phone.

  4. Full sized iPads never leave the house on Over 20% of Online Black Friday Sales Came From Mobile Devices · · Score: 1

    Why is it that full sized iPads are still thought of as mobile devices when the vast majority of them never leave the couch?

  5. Re:England on EU Plastic Bag Debate Highlights a Wider Global Problem · · Score: 1

    I got in the habit of moving the bags to the trunk of my car. I usually have at least 4 of them in there at any one time. I prefer the reusable bags to plastic or paper ones when I shop. Having a real handle is a big bonus.

  6. Re:How about NEW cars? on Musk Lashes Back Over Tesla Fire Controversy · · Score: 1

    And how many of them simply ran over debris in the roadway then burst into flame?

  7. Re:Sorry, but not here on Prison Is For Dangerous Criminals, Not Hacktivists · · Score: 2

    Even worse: prisons here are profitable ventures. Prisoners are a valuable commodity. We have an entire industry of prisons, lawyers, guards, and logistics that requires a steady supply of them. Sadly, it's a growth industry as well.

  8. What the heck. I'll sell it to him on Hotel Tycoon Seeks Property Rights On the Moon · · Score: 1

    Gimme a call. I'll sell you the whole moon, man.

    Yeah, I thought this was about Georgia Tech? Do they still just do stuff with peanuts?

    9" LCD TV's can be had for less than $50.

  12. Re:as a 2nd generation GT guy on Atlanta Man Shatters Coast-to-Coast Driving Record, Averaging 98MPH · · Score: 1

    Actually, the kid from Georgia tech was just a passenger. He signed on less than two weeks before they left. He was just a lookout.

  13. Re:I can get on-demand access to Game of Thrones? on Are Cable Subscribers Subsidizing Internet-Only TV Viewers? · · Score: 2

    HBO just announced a deal with Google Play to make all their series available.

  14. Re:Scientology: on Scientology's Fraud Conviction Upheld In France · · Score: 1

    Yeah, because there was no religion until the federal government of the US stopped taxing them. Totally true.

  15. Re:Scientology: on Scientology's Fraud Conviction Upheld In France · · Score: 1

    Because they should all be held liable for the actions of a few miscreants. That's how we do things, right? So, let's talk about the atheist Josef Stalin...

  16. Re: Scientology: on Scientology's Fraud Conviction Upheld In France · · Score: 1

    And, if a frog had wings it wouldn't bump it's ass when it hopped. Any more strawman arguments to be shot down?

  17. Re:bioinformatics and computational biology on Ask Slashdot: Best Language To Learn For Scientific Computing? · · Score: 1

    When searching and sorting DNA sequences, it's just [ACGT]* in a text file. Why wouldn't Perl be ideal?

    And tsunami prevention.

  20. Re:Yo dawg on No Love From Ars For Samsung's New Smart Watch · · Score: 2

    Oh yeah, that looks a little less like ass than the other one that looks like ass.

  21. Re: XBOX? on Why Is Microsoft Setting More Money On Fire With Surface 2? · · Score: 2

    By Microsoft limiting these devices to signed apps from their store, RT is severely hobbled. It's as if MS doesn't want them to succeed. I'd have to assume that the profit margin on the Pro's is much higher, and that's why they won't open up development. If they'd just allowed unsigned apps, I could see RT devices taking off.

    I think they're still counting on businesses to embrace RT for corporate use, and that's why they're keeping them restricted.

  22. Re: 64-bit BS on Why Apple Went 64-Bit With the iPhone 5s · · Score: 1

    I think there's a longer term strategy here. I'm not sure what it is.
