  1. Does happen on India To Build A Thorium Reactor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Spain built a non-working nuclear reactor.

  2. Summary on Concerns Over Google Modifying SSL Behavior · · Score: 1

    Both TFA itself, and the summary could do with a summary.

    ...a manner significantly different than the standard, namely, passing the refer to a non-secure site with Google ads, whilst withholding it from another secure site, going against normal browser behavior.

  3. Re:3 series on Linux 3.1 Released With Support for the OpenRISC CPU · · Score: 4, Informative

    "So what are the big changes?

    "NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Sure, we have the usual two thirds driver changes, and a lot of random fixes, but the point is that 3.0 is just about renumbering, we are very much not doing a KDE-4 or a Gnome-3 here. No breakage, no special scary new features, nothing at all like that. We've been doing time-based releases for many years now, this is in no way about features. If you want an excuse for the renumbering, you really should look at the time-based one ('20 years') instead.

    tl;dr - Nothing happened.

  4. He's dead, can we move on? on A Decade of Apple Oddities · · Score: 1

    Yeah slashdot! Stop beating a dead horse.

  5. Real problem? on 3D Printers To Save Hermit Crabs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Is there any evidence that this is a real problem, as opposed to an art project, PR stunt, or whatever?

  6. Re:Die Unity Die! on Ubuntu Turns 7 · · Score: 1

    Unity is a turd. Maybe with enough polish, it will become a dorodango

  7. Will Apple let... on Will Apple Let Siri and Apps Connect? · · Score: 1, Funny

    NO!

  8. Re:No, the problem is "UI designers". on No Tab Relocation Coming For Chrome · · Score: 2

    But ... but ... the usability studies say so!

  9. Re:Block on Facebook Is Building Shadow Profiles of Non-Users · · Score: 1

    Good call.

  10. Block on Facebook Is Building Shadow Profiles of Non-Users · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Who uses adblock/noscript yet doesn't block those pointless facebook and twitter buttons?
    Even if you don't care about the privacy angle, it really cuts down on useless traffic.

    Here's a new one you may not have got around to adding yet: apis.google.com/js/plusone.js

  11. Re:NoScript might save FireFox on NoScript For Android Devices Released · · Score: 1

    And I can't bring myself to use a browser made by an advertising company as my main browser. It's an insurmountable conflict of interests.

  13. Re:Important note: on Table Salt Could Help Boost HDD Storage Density By a Factor of 5 · · Score: 2

    The information density is still limited by quantum gravity, which predicts discreteness of space-time at the Planck length scale.

  14. Back in the real world... on Remirroring Mark Pilgrim's Sites · · Score: 1

    A torrent with no seeds is worthless.
    Multiple web mirrors are more robust for this type of information, and since it's legal, more people are going to step forward to run them.

  15. Re:Offer a .torrent on Remirroring Mark Pilgrim's Sites · · Score: 1

    A copyleft licence is better.

  16. Re:And... on Remirroring Mark Pilgrim's Sites · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Work shall remain online under the CC-BY-3.0 License

  17. Brother on HP Rethinking Wisdom of Spinning Off PC Division · · Score: 1

    Another satisfied Brother user. The designed-to-be-refilled toner cartridges are great.

    As for linux drivers, I find that's always the tip of the iceberg. Lack of linux drivers is an excellent indicator that windows versions get drop FAST, and crappy drivers in general. Canon, I'm looking at you.

  18. Gparted on Ask Slashdot: Create Custom Recovery Partitions With FOSS? · · Score: 1

    Gparted on a live CD.

  19. Re:I can't wait to see them come out... on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    Is this mutual destruction assured?

  20. Re:Post it on Facebook. on Ask Slashdot: Best Long-Term Video/Picture Storage? · · Score: 1

    And you can request a CD hard-copy whenever you want.
    Perfect!

  21. Re:Good on Faster-Than-Light Particle Results To Be Re-Tested · · Score: 1

    Professor Brian Cox explains
    Hope this works for non-UK IPs; It's interesting.

  22. Re:This isn't Microsoft on Microsoft Responds To Linux Concerns Over Windows 8 and UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 2

    Stop spoiling this 2 minute hate on Microsoft with your facts.

  23. Re:Market fragmentation on The (Big) Problem With RIM · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If I had a mod point, you'd get it for using Stockholm Syndrome in the content of Apple's products.

  24. Re:Booring. on Printing a Building · · Score: 2

    Closest you're going to get today: http://reprap.org/wiki/Main_Page

  25. Re:that's not mutual destruction on Star Rips Exoplanet To Shreds With X-Rays · · Score: 2

    TFA more accurately uses "negative reinforcement" rather than mutually destructive.
