  1. Re: Do what everyone else does in this situation on Ask Slashdot: Switching To a GNU/Linux Distribution For a Webdesign School · · Score: 1

    Why would you want to use something else than 8-bit sRGB for webdesign?

  2. Re:Maybe, maybe not. on Obama Administration Says the World's Servers Are Ours · · Score: 1

    Are not servers in other countries owned by subsidiaires of Microsoft rather the corporation?

  3. Re:don't see where it matters on Yahoo Deletes Journalist's Pre-Paid Legacy Site After Suicide · · Score: 2

    We could use your argument to make murder legal as long as the victim does not get to know about it.

  4. Re:Fraud is fraud on Video Poker Firmware Bug Yields Big Money, Federal Charges · · Score: 1

    [...] it's not any different than tricking a person into the same.

    Is not it what casinos do?

  5. Re:Linux on LLVM Clang Compiler Now C++11 Feature Complete · · Score: 1

    The standard library has the right to throw an exception if threading is not available and you try to create a thread. It actually happens like that on Linux if you forget to link to pthread. For the concurrent memory model it is just hardware specific.

  6. You just need a wire... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Block Noise In a Dorm? · · Score: 1

    And use this wire to connect the neutral to the ground. The safest way to fire the breakers. It will be very quiet after.

  7. Loss? on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    As I understand it, ad-blocker users would click like crazy on all the ads if they did not have a blocker.

  8. Before it is too late... on Ask Slashdot: Advice For Summer Before Ph.D. Program? · · Score: 1

    Lose your virginity. Trust me, I have a Ph.D.

  9. I got a Mac on Gnome Founder Miguel de Icaza Moves To Mac · · Score: 1

    And it sleeps in a drawer.

    I would put the fault on the fragmentation of packaging distributions like Fink, MacPorts, Homebrew, etc. Also videogames that supposedly work on Mac usually just do not even start because they are not compatible with the hardware.

  10. Metodology on UC Davis Study Concludes H-1B Workers Neither Best Nor Brightest · · Score: 1

    Have you read that section?

    Instead of combining all immigrants, or all foreign workers, this report will focus mainly on immigrants who first entered the United States as foreign students.

    Makes more sense about the results.

  11. Re:LyX on How Can Wikipedia's Visual Editor Top Other Word Processors? · · Score: 1

    I think LyX is the best. It needs clear sectionning. Forbid people to do stupid things just because THEY think it looks better. Etc. A word processor would actually completely mess up Wikipedia.

  12. That court said the parents could have installed a firewall on their son's computer

    For sure, all parents should be able to know how to configure multiple accounts with correct right management so that the other users cannot modify the firewall configuration, and configure a firewall to disallow all programs to connect to anything other then 127.0.0.1 except a white list. Oh and they have to find a way to disable websocket from the browser.

    as well as a security program that would have made it possible to only allow the child to install software with the consent of his parents.

    And of course a 13 years-old kid is not capable of cracking that kind of crap.

    They could have also moved to China.

  13. Not surprising on Italian Supreme Court Accepts Mobile Phone-Tumor Link · · Score: 2

    In France in the 90s I remember that a judge decided to grant compensation to people who got multiple sclerosis who claimed that it was linked to hepatitis B vaccine. Of course the scientific community completely debunked that link. The only reason some people who got it after vaccination was that tons of people got that vaccination at the same time, so coincidences were very very likely to happen.

    Anyway, it is good thing for "equality of chances". If you sucked at school, you can become a judge.

  14. I have heard it before, but it was in a bar. on 82-Year-Old Nun Breaks Into Nuclear Facility, Contractors Blamed · · Score: 1

    "A nun, a gardener, and a housepainter cut through three security fences [...]" What was the punchline?

  15. And? on Torvalds Uses Profanity To Lambaste Romney Remarks · · Score: 1

    Why everything Torvalds says is so important to be posted on /.?

  16. Re:Slackware on floppies on Ask Slashdot: What Distros Have You Used, In What Order? · · Score: 1

    "you don't need any other distro". In the case of Slackware, "other" is a word too many in your sentence.

  17. Re:Send them an invoice. on Ask Slashdot: How To Fight Copyright Violations With DMCA? · · Score: 1

    I think he would have to do this if Turkey had compulsory license provision in its copyright laws for Youtube video. And I doubt that. So I would not send them a bill for licensing, which would allow the other to continue to use the video. A proposition of settlement for damages would be better. Though I do not know if I would agree on the approach.

  18. Re:Flightgear on Patent Troll Sues X-Plane · · Score: 2

    Interesting. In what way a certification from one country makes a project more or less serious? Do you have better arguments that do compare the realism of the two projects?

  19. Nice victory! on French Court Levies First Fine Under 3-Strikes Piracy Law · · Score: 1

    I would like to congratulate HADOPI for having made 150 euros. This obviously shows that this law was a total success.

  20. Re:Working as intended on When a Primary Source Isn't Good Enough: Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Oddly enough, the page of "Irony" on Wikipedia cites Britannica. Master of irony, did you have the authority to modify this entry?

    My grandma believed in anecdotal evidence and she lived to be 102.

    Maybe you do not understand what placebo effect is.

  23. Re:You insensitive clod! on Obama and Romney Respond To ScienceDebate.org Questionnaire · · Score: 2

    The nice thing with Slashdot comments, is that if you lived in a complete seclusion for five years, and you come back to read them, you still understand the jokes.

  24. Re:It's too bad on How Apple Killed the Linux Desktop · · Score: 1

    Oh, so you can update MacOS through MacPorts?

  25. GMOs come with pesticides on Battle Brewing Over Labeling of Genetically Modified Food · · Score: 1

    I want the choice to boycott Monsanto by pressing farmers not to use their strain. Otherwise it causes an overuse of pesticides which is bad for nature, but also for the farmers and people leaving around the farms. The only way to do it now is to know whether there are some GMO in my food. And "popular suspicions", that's GMO's lobbies who try to make you believe that. Yes, sure GMOs by themselves are probably safe, there are no reasons they would be worst than other strains, if we just have the proper testing. I do not care about what hippies believe. However, there is "scientific suspicion" with proper peer reviewed literature about pesticides they sell with the GMOs. It is exactly like saying nuclear power is the cleanest forgetting about waste management.
