  1. Re:2-2-2011 introduction of the apple tax on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    You're not European, are you?

  2. Re:3...2...1... Wake up! on iPad Launches, FCC Teardown Leaked · · Score: 1

    Disclaimer: Taiwanese virgins may or may not be female. Applicability as paperweight is not guaranteed by the usermanual.

    That, sir, was a stroke of genius. I uncover my bald head on your honour!

  3. No Tour champion involved in the article on Tour de France Champion Accused of Hacking · · Score: 1

    Tour champion? Last time I checked it was Oscar Pereiro who won the Tour in 2006. "Blonde mennonite rider on testosterone accused of hacking" would be truer, and more commercial.

  4. Re:Zotero on Document Management For Research With Annotation? · · Score: 1

    There's no need to keep your data in the cloud when using Zotero. If you wish and synch is not needed, you can keep all your data locally. If you want to synch your files (not the archived references) you also can use your WebDAV server instead of a Zotero account.

  5. Re:Phones more powerful than NeXTstations! on Nokia N900 Linux Smartphone Running OS X · · Score: 4, Funny

    OsX native to the Arm architecture would probably be an order of magnitude or more faster Just wonder, only 12 minutes to "About this Mac"... sweet!

  6. Re:too big on Review of the Model M-Inspired Unicomp Customizer Keyboard · · Score: 1

    I beg to disagree. The new Apple keyboards are, IMHO, the worst ever produced and the very opposite of what Model M were. Interestingly enough, I use a Model M at work and suffer an Apple at home (donÂt want to throw it while it works...)

  7. Re:Downward spiral? on Falling Microsoft Income Endangers Yahoo Bid · · Score: 1

    It's the first time in my years of slashdotting that I've craved for mod points. You deserve all our respect, sir

  8. Re:In my experience ... on Goodbye Cruel Word · · Score: 1

    * No distractions. Full screen. Hidden menu bar. Hidden scroll bar. Nothing but text. * In full screen mode text doesn't wrap over the entire screen. Instead your text is formated in a readable column in the center of the screen. * Few important writers statistics (word count) pop up at bottom of screen, but hidden by default. * Lots of control over the look (colors, cursors, and fonts and paragraph formatting, even in plain text mode) * "Normal" app, user doesn't have to know about command line. Perfect implementation of full-screen text editing. And I've tried many similar apps, I assure you....

  9. Re:sequel? on Jackson Slated to Make Hobbit Movie, Sequel · · Score: 1

    You have earnest my sincere respect, sir. All my moderator points would go to you, if I had any.

  10. Re:This is a fairly tame list on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1

    :D :D :D It just falled from my shirtpocket to the ground, and I found it two days later in my inundated garden after heavy rains...

  11. Re:This is a fairly tame list on Unusual Data Disaster Horror Stories · · Score: 1

    I had a 256 MB memory stick underwater on my garden for two days, and worked flawlessly afterwards

  12. Durability of the device is paramount on Amazon's Ebook The Future of Reading? · · Score: 1

    400$ is not too much money, and is in line with other offerings (Sony Reader, Cybook 3) and so on. However, current electronic devices have a too limited lifespan. If it only lasts 3 years, one must read many books for the thing to become somehow profitable. Quite a lot, except for real reading-lovers...

  13. Re:Decent new RPN calculator? on The Handheld Calculator Turns 40 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hewlet-Packard keeps selling RPN calculators, such as HP-33s or HP-35s...

  14. Reminiscing about a crime movie on Next Version of Windows? Call it '7' · · Score: 1

    Seven? Who were they thinking on? Morgan Freeman, Brad Pitt... or Kevin Spacey

  15. Old news on Man Finally Makes the Weed-Removing Robot · · Score: 1

    Weed-killing robots are not out of ordinary in agricultural research. Even in my institution http://www.ivia.es/, a robot that killed weeds by means of a 20.000V discharge was built some years ago.

  16. Re:The value of good user interface design... on 100 Million iPods · · Score: 1

    Myself, for example. I hate the touch-wheel, and think it very inconvenient when you must use it without looking.
