  1. Re:Windows 8 blows on Windows 8 Even Less Popular Than Vista · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Beyond DirectX 11.1 support, security. Fast start up and shutdowns.

    So nothing really important then? If you can't stand to look at something you simply don't want it in your face.

  2. Programmer's will be the worst hit on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Human labor is cheap, feed them a few scraps and they will work just to survive. It's those whose living depends on ephermal things like "intellectual property" for survival who will suffer the most.

  3. As long as on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 1

    As long as you confirm thricely that the targets of your spam are willing to receive it you should be good. I'd suggest meeting each and everyone of your in person and with verified live human witnesses present to attest that your prey is willing to subjected to the advertising that you are want to force upon him.

  4. Absolutely it is! on Specific Gut Bacteria May Account For Much Obesity · · Score: 1

    Everyone knows infants were giving a choice of inherited genetics and environment before birth.

  5. So an experiment? on Specific Gut Bacteria May Account For Much Obesity · · Score: 1

    Say you and an person who "eats like a pig" both consume the same amount of calories and expend the same amount of work per day for a month, would you be willing to accept the change in weight results as definitive proof as to whether it is the person who is at blame or some other factors?C

  6. Re:ThinkPad, T-, W- or X-series on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptop With Decent Linux Graphics Support? · · Score: 1

    So you are saying that unless you are lazy and willing to do research it is best to avoid Lenovo all together? If that is the case it is truly a shame because Thinkpad is the first thing that comes to mind when Linux support is important.

  7. Re:What trouble have you had with Nvidia? on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptop With Decent Linux Graphics Support? · · Score: 1

    It only makes sense that those using a FOSS operating system would have problems with closed drivers, and it is silly of you to try to dismiss them out of hand with the term "rabid". But I am wondering, what is it that drew you to Linux if it wasn't openess?

  8. Why!? on EU Issues Largest Antitrust Fine to Date for CRT TV Price Fixing · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What would it take for us Americans to get a government that favors individuals over corporations? Perhaps a new
    Supreme Court? The current one seems to think that corporations are people.

  9. Re:Not really on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    True, there is. But not many remember those who dish up soup for the poor.

  10. Re:Not really on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure that suffecient data has been obtained about eating bullets or sleeping pills to reach conclusions. How much data exists about dying in space? How much about dying on Mars? Why are you so against advancing science?

  11. Not really on Over 1000 Volunteers For 'Suicide' Mission To Mars · · Score: 2

    There are many of who have had children and even grandchildren by now. We've contributed to the gene pool as much as we can. What else do we have left other than to look forward to death by one means or another? Wouldn't it be better to go in a project that might advance humanity than sit around wasting its resources?

  12. Re:nerd-friendly mobile phone on Nokia Selling Its Headquarters To Raise Funds · · Score: 2

    I've been watching Jolla, but thanks! The N9 doesn't even have a real keyboard so it is hardly a replacement for the N900.

  13. No hate here, just sorrow on Nokia Selling Its Headquarters To Raise Funds · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It really is painful to see such a fantastic nerd friendly company hit bottom like this. I really would like them become a phoenix and raise from their ashes, but I'm not seeing it in the cards. But you know, if they would only ship an updated version of their famed N900 I'd certainly be willing to send another $600 their way, and I'd be willing to wager so would a few other million people as well. Hope those 170 million Euros will keep Nokia alive long enough to come to its senses.

  14. Let the buyer decide! on Ericsson Seeks US Import Ban On Samsung Products · · Score: 1

    Seriously, how else can a free market possibly be free if silly things like patents and copyrights get in the way. If people think you are worth the higher bucks, then higher bucks they will pay. This getting governments involved to enforce monopolies is totally gotten out of hand.

  15. Blank page on Slashdot Mobile: Now For Tablets As Well As Phones · · Score: 1

    Going to mbeta.slashdot.org on my Nokia N900 results in a blank page. The regular site works well when browsing with Midori and Firefox. What am I missing here?

  16. Re:Does not work without javascript on Slashdot Mobile: Now For Tablets As Well As Phones · · Score: 1

    Why enable it if it isn't necessary? Slashdot is a nerd site so cater to the needs of nerds.

  17. Re:Does not work on Windows Phone on Slashdot Mobile: Now For Tablets As Well As Phones · · Score: 1

    Free isn't as important open.

  18. Re:Quick find all the people that care on Bitcoin Mining Reward About To Halve · · Score: 1

    So "Sharper Security" becomes the enforcer of contracts? How is this better than a government that enforces contracts? I, for one, do not recognize "Sharper Security" as an enforcer of contracts. What power, short of the ability to garnish my wages or impound my possessions, do you wish we all agree to to empower them with that would force my will to yours?

  19. Re:Quick find all the people that care on Bitcoin Mining Reward About To Halve · · Score: 2

    Why would one enter a voluntary contract when there isn't a central authoriaty to enforce it?

  20. This is good thing, right? on EU Passes Resolution Against ITU Asserting Control Over Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Despite the US still being conservative compared to the progessive world, it is definetly far more liberal than nations such as Saudi Arabia where everyone citizen has to belong to the state sanctioned religion and women barely get by with showing their faces in public. Sure the current situation isn't ideal, but the ITU's solution is far worse.

  21. Re:Get homeshcooled on Student Refusing RFID Badge Now Fights Expulsion Order · · Score: 1

    As long as a government based on the noble ideas of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" does everything it can to make sure everyone has at least access to number one, all is good.

    "Work is not a right...you have a choice whether to continue to work there or not."

    In order to meet the number one requirement "life", the government is forced to support those who can't work for one reason or another.

  22. Hardly seems fair on Google Lunar X Prize Teams Now In a Race With China As Well As Each Other · · Score: 1

    Governments have been landing objects the moon for a few decades now. If the idea is to prove the free market can do things more effeciently wouldn't a bonus more in order?

  23. Re:As usual on RIM Offering Free Voice Calling In Attempt to Remain Competitive · · Score: 1

    But they could do so much better by not buying RIM.

  24. Re:Nokia's data source is great on Nokia Releasing Maps for Competing Devices · · Score: 1

    Still, since you can't separate Nokia from Microsoft few here would reccomend them.

  25. Re:As usual on RIM Offering Free Voice Calling In Attempt to Remain Competitive · · Score: 1

    Just not seeing the positive here I guess. Unlimited voice plans have been available on all major Telcos in the US, and they don't require WiFi.
