  1. Reminds me of starcraft. on DARPA Investing In Electric Brain Stimulation To Train Snipers Quickly · · Score: 1

    How many crystals were needed to build a terran ghost anyway?

  2. LGPL on How Far Should GPL Enforcement Go? · · Score: 1

    I always thought that LGPL was created for this kind of stuff. I guess that if sony contacted busybox authors in a nice manner and if it was all for some good thing (bash-scripted gadgets!), relicencing would be fast&easy option.

  3. OMG guys on Firefox 10 Released · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Every time you users are hit by the "release early, release often" that you always wished, I hear you moaning.

    "It's time to upgrade again."

    Attitude of that sentence somehow doesn't fit on shlashdot for me. I hoped that it was _here_ where people can appreciate the last "big" and still free browser.

  4. Re:You had me at.. on Firefox Javascript Engine Becomes Single Threaded · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Chrome is 3X faster"

    Dear sir, how did you obtain such an accurate measurement?

  5. original meaning on Facebook Helps Give Hacking a Good Name Again · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I always thought hackers made furniture using an axe. What is this computer stuff anyway?

  6. Re:Just because of speed? on Firefox 9 Released, JavaScript Performance Greatly Improved · · Score: 2

    Rapid release isn't the actual problem for extensions - most of them are OK whenever you manually edit them and expand their version-support range. Basically, it is just another example of "why version number checks are totally wrong". I hope they can improve it soon with feature-presence checking or something similar.

  7. Bad statistics on GPL, Copyleft Use Declining Fast · · Score: 3, Informative

    The statistic shows percenage of actual project count, and doesn't anyhow respect the overall usage or size ("importance/weight") of the software.

    I'm therefore afraid that the plot is biased by a large amount of tiny projects that are used by 10 people and choose some cc-by-sa alternative because it's simple enough and often a "default" choice.

  8. Re:Big deal on Firefox Too Big To Link On 32-bit Windows · · Score: 1

    Also please compare with chromium.

  9. Did you see the image? on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 2

    Why does it look like a (laser) sniper rifle?

  10. I wonder... on Russian Scientists Say They'll Clone a Mammoth Within 5 Years · · Score: 0, Troll

    ...whether someone welcomes our new mammoth overlords.

  11. Re:With an average high of about 70 degrees... on Mongolia Wants To Use Artificial Glaciers To Cool Capital · · Score: 2

    In a landscape that far from large water bodies the nightly/daily temperatures differ much more than here. That can perfectly give them pretty annoying 110F during day and 40F every night.

  12. (paranoia corner) on Two New Fed GPS Trackers Found On SUV · · Score: 1

    Don't talk to him, HE is the GPS device!

  13. This clearly shows... on Analyzing StackOverflow Users' Programming Language Leanings · · Score: 1

    ...that there aren't many stack overflows in C!

  14. I expect... on Study Finds No Link Between Mobile Phones and Cancer (Again) · · Score: 3, Funny

    ...someone here telling that mobile phones may not cause damage to us, but they certainly make bees behave weird and die.

  15. Re:Another holiday: on California Declares Today "Steve Jobs Day" · · Score: 2

    He didn't look nor act like a magician, he probably had nothing to do with recent computers...

    Actually this whole thing is pretty sad.

  16. Re:RIP on Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C Programming Language, Passed Away · · Score: 1

    +1 with no mod points.

  17. Education purposes.. on Linux In JavaScript, With Persistent Storage · · Score: 1

    Did anyone manage to run stuff like gcc in this? It would make a _GREAT_ education tool.

    (network access would be great too, but I guess that would be pretty hard with javascript...)

  18. Re:WORK WITHOUT JAVASCRIPT on Help Shape the Future of Slashdot · · Score: 2, Insightful

    +1 insightful, but can't really mod you up without javascript...

  19. Re:CowboyNeal... on Help Shape the Future of Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Would you like...

    [ ] One CowboyNeal reference per survey
    [ ] Two CowboyNeal reference per survey
    [x] Nothing meaningful per survey
    [ ] Only CowboyNeal references in each survey

  20. Re:Please, keep using Firefox... on Chrome Set To Take No. 2 Spot From Firefox · · Score: 1

    You've now asked a herd of web-addicted sheep to behave against the will of their omnipresent God(dle).

    I'm with firefox exactly because of the same reason (be it against google, webkit, almost-nearly-opensource-ware, or whatever). Sadly this reason counts as a 'feature' only for some of us.

  21. projects depending on this on SUA Deprecated In Windows 8? · · Score: 2

    Well, I actually failed to find a project that would really depend on SUA. Anyone knows about anything that would be harmed by this change?

  22. well... on Nvidia's Kal-El Tegra Will Have Fifth "Companion Core" · · Score: 0

    I hope it has a small pink heart image on the sillicon.

  23. Why you shouldn't panic? on Why You Shouldn't Panic About Closed Source MySQL Extensions · · Score: 3, Insightful

    ...because if you aren't already running some better DBMS, chances are that you are probably generally unable to panic about any DBMS quality.

  24. Youtube on James Gosling Report of Reno Air Crash · · Score: 1

    Anyone got a backup of that video?

  25. Re:So, why not use Mono? on Microsoft Previews Compiler-as-a-Service Software · · Score: 1

    I would actually bet they just took mono and dotNETized it a little.
