  1. Re:if they break the law... on Netflix Terms of Service Invalidates Your Right To Sue · · Score: 1

    A contract goes both ways.

    If they indulge in shady actions contrary to what they promise to do in the EULA, then they would have broken the contract.

    Wouldn't that relieve you of any bindings within it?

  2. Re:Stop calling it Xbox 720 on Xbox 720 a No-show At This Year's E3 · · Score: 1

    YBox obviously.

    Coincidentally I have a ZBox hooked up to my TV right now.

    But it's Microsoft's own fault they are out of letter already. They HAD to start out so far back in the alphabeth.

  3. All that valuable IP on Righthaven Ordered To Forfeit Its Intellectual Property · · Score: 1

    If they failed to make money from it, what is anyone else going to do with it?

    Who would want to buy that crap?

  4. Re:Okay. on The Consoles Are Dying, Says Developer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nowadays you have to upgrade a PC every 4 years or so.

    Most PC titles are being made for consoles and PC at the same time and consoles are the lowest common denominator. So titles don't really get any more demanding in terms of hardware until the next generation of consoles come out.

  5. Re:Eventually... on Single-Ion Clock 100 Times More Accurate Than Atomic Clock · · Score: 4, Funny

    The only flaw in this plan is, that you would need to sleep through all alarms but the last one.
    Other than that it's perfect.
    Yes.

  6. Re:How About Frigging Drive Kit Plus on Siri To Power Mercedes-Benz Car Systems · · Score: 1

    I don't get this.
    Siri and the apps are running on the phone. The phone is in the car, most likely on the dashboard.
    So what keeps the user from talking directly to the phone?

  7. Re:Math is Hard on North Korea's High-Tech Counterfeit $100 Bills · · Score: 1

    The won is worthless now, but you can still get 10 won worth of stuff for a 1k won paperbill.
    It's used for heating.

  8. 25m a year on North Korea's High-Tech Counterfeit $100 Bills · · Score: 2

    Wow, if they keep this up for 1000 years, it might inflate the dollar by 0.1%.

  9. Re:First post ! on Faulty Cable To Blame For Superluminal Neutrino Results · · Score: 1

    By explaining the joke to everyone you have made it much funnier. Keep up the good work.

    What joke did he explain?

    Questions begone!
    All this explaining has to stop right here and now!

  10. Finally, a reason to shoot leakers on Transparency Grenade Collects and Leaks Sensitive Data · · Score: 2

    "He had a weapon in his hand."

    You are making it to easy for them.

  11. Re:First on Anonymous Cowards, Deanonymized · · Score: 1

    It would butcher some flows and really help others.
    We will all meet in the boring, anonymous middle of mediocre writing.

  12. Re:Redundant on Canadians #TellVicEverything In Response To Bill C-30 · · Score: 1

    Oh, you are correct.
    I did not account for multitasking.

  13. Mobile Beam Cannons on Ask Slashdot: What Would Real Space Combat Look Like? · · Score: 1

    I liked this idea from some book:

    1.) detect general position of target
    2.) fly missiles into "close range" of target (less than a couple of light-seconds, so random evasive maneuvers won't matter)
    at this point the relative velocity of missile and target is very high, so instead of trying to hit it directly
    3.) detonate nuclear warhead and use it to power a single laser shot aimed at target

  14. Redundant on Canadians #TellVicEverything In Response To Bill C-30 · · Score: 2

    Wouldn't that result in an endless loop of "Posting on Twitter right now"..?

  15. Makes sense on Sony Raises Price of Whitney Houston's Music 30 Minutes After Death · · Score: 1

    She can't produce any new songs now, so the ones already out there are worth more.
    Finally we can see that mythical scarcity of digital goods, that they are always talking about! For IP to work out, you have to die first.

  16. Don't worry on Cryptome Hit By Blackhole Exploit Kit · · Score: 1

    The blackhole may suck up all your whistleblow data, but no one can retrieve it from there.

  17. A planet which your mom is living on? on Is the Earth Gaining Or Losing Mass? · · Score: 1

    It's gaining mass.

  18. Re:Here's my deleted (censored?) submission on Self-Guided Bullet Can Hit Targets a Mile Away · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The perfect way to do war, would be to just assassinate each others leaders over and over again until at some point one side get's one, that thinks getting assassinated is not really worth whatever they started that war over. Then that side loses and the war is done.
    Casualties should be about 5-10 politicians.

  19. Spotted a major desing flaw on The Science of Human-Robot Love · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It needs a girl on the other end to function.

  20. Re:Joking about this is the height of stupidity. on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They were not joking about it.
    It is slang.
    They were clearly stating something and were very serious about it (the intent to party hard).
    Just the other guys don't understand the language.

  21. Re:I do the opposite on Retail Chains To Strike Back Against Online Vendors · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Every time I try to do this, the first 3-4 shops I visit don't have the item in stock.
    And of course none of them offers a list of their items online.

  22. Costs still seem to high... on Assembling Your Own 3D Printer · · Score: 1

    I'll get me one, as soon as it gets cheaper to print out a WH40k army, than to buy it. Bonus points if it comes out sufficiently coloured.
    At that point, I'm all set to jump on this new piracy train WOOOOP WOOOOP

  23. Re:Opressing conservatives wearing Guy Fawkes-feel on Thousands Take To the Streets To Protest ACTA · · Score: 1

    They did not use the actual masks being sold. They used cut paper printouts.

  24. Re:Opressing conservatives wearing Guy Fawkes-feel on Thousands Take To the Streets To Protest ACTA · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Are you sure?

    According to my news sources, the faction that showed the masks are called "Ruch Palikota".
    They are being described as "left wing, liberal" and seem to have a tendency for publicity stunts like this.

  25. Important detail on Graphene Membranes Superpermeable to Water · · Score: 4, Informative

    It's not mentioned in the opener, but the article says it lets water "evaporate" through it.
    So it's not like you can just pour water on it, and let it drip through.

    I wonder if this just means steam can pass through it, or if it has to evaporate on the graphene for it to get through?
    If it was the former, then why are they wording it so complicated?
