  1. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 4, Informative

    The area, on which the UN HQ is located, may be surrounded by NYC, but it is not _IN_ NYC, or the USA for that matter.. The more you know.

  2. Re:USA against the World? on US Defunds UNESCO After Palestine Vote · · Score: 0

    UN isn't on US-soil.

  3. Re:39 kb? Try 4! on Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than · · Score: 1

    Try those "in4k"s without DirectX, OpenGL or Windows underneath.

  4. Re:Useful for Airplay on Apple's Lossless Audio Codec (ALAC) Now Open Source · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind any Airplay compatible device can use ALAC,

    Nice way of phrasing "Apple-devices only".

  5. Re:He kinda cherry picked what phones he used.. on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    The Droid is in the list. Also, "I went back and found every Android phone shipped in the United States1 up through the middle of last year." re: cherry-picking.

  6. Re:Lies and Deception on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't be surprised if they actually meant "any phone that was released with 2.3".

  7. Re:Why does anyone care after the second year? on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    Not everybody is special enough to voluntarily get locked into a two-/three-year-contract.

  8. Re:Incorrect Apple data on Android Orphans: a Sad History of Platform Abandonment · · Score: 1

    "Third Year after Release" Do you understand these words? For the 2G this means 2009, and for the 3G this means 2010.

  9. The times are a-changing. on BT Ordered To Block Usenet Binaries Index · · Score: 1

    So offering XML-files, which are useless on their own, is illegal now, check.

  10. Re:wonder how long on Meet Siri's Little Brother, Trapit · · Score: 1

    Well, Apple got SiRI from SRI (eh!), so I doubt that.

  11. Excuse my French, on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Vaffanculo, Signore Motti.

  12. Trapper Keeper on Will Apple Let Siri and Apps Connect? · · Score: 1

    They just want 2012 to be the end for real, aren't they?

  13. Re:BS on Is Apple Pushing Away Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, apparently 15" MBP can have non-glare-displays too, for a markup.

  14. Re:BS on Is Apple Pushing Away Professionals? · · Score: 1

    Mention 1 poor value hardware piece on any of the latest apple product.

    "Server grade" WD Greens in the Time Capsules.

    come on... 95% of laptops are non-glossy and if you are a super pro detail designer, you will not use a laptop screen to work.

    Whereas you can get a non-glossy MBP (17") with an additional fee, you'll be hardpressed to get a non-glossy iMac or Thunderbolt Display.

  15. "Reprint"? on Slate Reprints Blue-Box Article That Inspired Jobs · · Score: 1

    What's that? Is that a symlink for cp?

  16. Re:Carefull on ISPs 'Exaggerate the Cost of Data' · · Score: 1

    Asses... middle... oh boy/girl.

  17. Re:Today the iPhone... on Samsung May Try To Block Next iPhone In Europe Too · · Score: 2

    It's all about deterrence. All the companies could sue each other until the end of time, but they aren't or weren't, because it hurts the business. Unless it was some blantant and stupid rip-off. Apple said F IT and sued Samsung over rectangles and glass front and other obvious stuff, so Samsung goes nuclear, too.

  18. Incoming money-quote: on Windows 8 Won't Support Plug-Ins; the End of Flash? · · Score: 4, Informative

    "the Metro style browser in Windows 8" METRO! Not the desktop-IE. Reading, guys, reading...

  19. Re:Who cares? on Coming Soon to EA's Origin Store: Third-Party Titles · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sure, but Origin is competing with today's Steam, not the Steam of 2004.

  20. Re:Mandatory restart? on Apple Finally Removes DigiNotar Certs In Safari · · Score: 1

    Funny enough the bugfix/cert-revocation for Windows (Vista and later) didn't require a restart.

  21. Re:Double standards? on Apple Criticized For Not Blocking Stolen Certs · · Score: 1

    Comodo immediately disclosed the breach and made it known to all affected parties. DigiNotar sat on it and kept quiet for months.

  22. Of course they accept Visa. on Rent Your Own Botnet · · Score: 1

    Those bots aren't a threat to US-American hegemony. An when there's a buck to be made... "(Thug-)Life takes Visa."

  25. Re:ahh the old ubi DRM BS on Ubisoft Scales Back Driver DRM · · Score: 1

    It's the free market. Working game for free or "broken" game for x $/€/£/¥ - almost a no-brainer.
