  3. Error WTF?!? on The FBI's Newest Tool — Google Images · · Score: 1
    From TFA:

    The embassy's Councilor for Public Affairs William Ostic told Reuters that he telephoned LLamazares Saturday to apologize for the error.

    Calling this an error, while clearly occurred on intention, is again a defamation. Calling it an error because he's a politician is not better at all.

    Let it read wikipedia - not get it poisoned by twitter etc!

  5. Re:I'd like one change on Wii Hardware Upgrade Won't Happen Soon · · Score: 1

    I don't see a problem with analogue connection. Most people wouldn't be able to use it anyway and there would be no noticable improvement in picture quality, not even for the highest resulution the Wii can support. I prefer to use my HDMI inputs for devices which really benefit from it. HDMI would just add production cost without actual benefit.

  9. Comparison sucks on NCSU's Fingernail-Size Chip Can Hold 1TB · · Score: 1

    no bigger than 10 square nanometers — a pinhead has a diameter of 1 million nanometers

    Why not compare area to area: A diameter of 1 million nanometers is 1000000 ^ 2 * pi = about 3140000000000 square nanometers.

  10. Re:let's be clear on 1/3 of People Can't Tell 48Kbps Audio From 160Kbps · · Score: 1

    this was a very unscientific study, with a very small sample size, and really shouldn't be front page on slashdot.
