  1. Re:Misleading Summary, Again on Microsoft Now Collects Royalties From Over Half of All Android Devices · · Score: 2

    Not having the best day - misread TFA and a typo. This is why I mostly just read Slashdot.

  2. Misleading Summary, Again on Microsoft Now Collects Royalties From Over Half of All Android Devices · · Score: 0

    That's half of all device manufactures, not half of all devices sold. Stubble difference.

  3. Slashdotted on RC Submarine Lays Fiber Through Sewers In Italy · · Score: 5, Informative
  4. Re:MMS on What Features Should Be Included With iPhone 3.0? · · Score: 1

    But everyone, including my grandmother, texts and uses MMS.

    I wish I could teach my grandmother to text. Every time I see her there's always something wrong with her phone she says.

    It always turns out that someone sent her a text and the notification just confuses her, as does the inability to find the SMS menu.

  5. Re:So... on UK ISPs Could Be Forced To Block Or Restrict P2P · · Score: 1

    It works both ways, how will I a Brit get my fix of House?

    5 are meant to show it, but have yet to show the new seaon 17 episodes in on the other side of the pond

  6. Personallly I found it useful on Google Search Flagging Everything As Potentially Harmful · · Score: 1

    Before I'd heard that it was happening to everyone I thought that there was something wrong with my computer. Having a quick check showed I did indeed have a couple of Trojans lurking about.

    Thanks google!

  7. Buy a European AP on How Best To Deal With WiFi Interference? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Then you can use channels 12 and 13, which will have a touch less interference

  8. Re:All cellular companies in the US suck on AT&T 3G Upgrades Degrade 2G Signal Strength · · Score: 1

    Governments should not be in the business of picking standards.

    Let the consumers choose and the best one will gain enough market share that operators will move to the better standard.

  9. Re:Just waaaaay too lazy! on Smart Self-Service Scales · · Score: 1

    I disagree, I don't believe it makes things any quicker, in fact it slows things down.

    The local supermarkets have got entirely self service checkouts, which are almost always slower than going to the cashier for two reasons.

    1. Supermarkets don't trust you, all your food gets weighed after scanning which takes much longer than it should.

    2. Cashiers have been trained to do their job, and have had hours doing it, so they should be able to do it quicker than you can
