  1. Re:Don't buy a smart TV on Ask Slashdot: Can Smart TVs Insert Ads Into Your Movies? (gigaom.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you use a VPN and cast to a tv at the same time?
    I can't seem to do that on Android.

  2. Malta on 'Amazon Effect' Hits Retailers Around the Globe (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    In Malta most prices are much more expensive than Amazon, except for a few retailers like Scan.
    Plus at times they don't stock the latest versions, which is worse.

  3. Re:This is not a problem. on Online Job Sites May Block Older Workers (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There's life long learning. People should be doing that!

    Caprica, or the Xindi's homeworlds?

  6. Re:I did the samw thing.... on Writer: Why Watching the Original Star Wars Again Was a Bad Idea (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the Marvel comics adaptation too..

  7. Re:An image for dedicated use would be nice... on Ask Slashdot: How To Safely Use Older Android Phones? · · Score: 1

    You know it's a problem when in your local stores the phones ARE already that old and they are still selling them.

  8. Goodbye Samsung and Sound Machine Malta.. on Samsung Woos Developers As It Eyes Tizen Expansion Beyond Smartphones · · Score: 1
  9. Caprica or BSG Original earth? on NASA Spies Earth-Sized Exoplanet Orbiting Sun-Like Star · · Score: 1

    Is this Caprica or Battlestar Galactica's original earth (the one devastated by nuclear war)?

  10. Live365.. on Spotify Raises $526 Million As Apple Charges Into Streaming · · Score: 1

    Is Live365 dead after Pandora, Spotify, Apple streaming?
    Just wondering if it makes any more sense to broadcast on Live365... I'm guessing not anymore

  11. Re: Discussion is outdated on Ask Slashdot: Is Pascal Underrated? · · Score: 1

    Well since it runs under .NET, you can use ANY .net library with it...
    I agree that it's a proprietary closed company and the fact that there's no low cost version for education really is a disadvantage!

  12. Re:This has been know for a while... on Astronomers Record Mystery Radio Signals From 5.5 Billion Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    The message seems to be NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP !

    Have they been RICK ROLLING us?

  13. Re:PIZZA! on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    Authentic Neapolitan pizzas are typically made with tomatoes and Mozzarella cheese.
    Only the italian white pizza is made without cheese. The rest tend to use mozzarella.

  14. Re:PIZZA! on Low-Protein Diet May Extend Lifespan · · Score: 1

    But Italian pizza does have mozzarella! lol

  15. Voyager's Return all over again on NASA Forgets How To Talk To ICE/ISEE-3 Spacecraft · · Score: 1

    It's Voyager's Return all over again

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V...

  16. Obligatory Battlestar Galactica post on Another Possible Voynich Breakthrough · · Score: 2

    Well it was Lee Adama who wrote it originally. It was copied so many times until the 15th century when the Galactica was changed into a wooden ark because the copiers thought the galactica was a boat.
    And the CAG kept getting mentioned. (eg gollcag). So it must be their legacy after all and we are the cylons.

  17. No to Cylons! on Dyson Invests £5 Million To Create 'Intelligent Domestic Robots' · · Score: 1

    No to Cylons... we had enough trouble in the Colonies thanks to them..

  18. new design is great on Slashdot Tries Something New; Audience Responds! · · Score: 1

    I like the cleaner look. Comments could be improved though.

  19. Ice Age? on Global-Warming Skepticism Hits 6-Year High · · Score: 1

    Weren't we about to enter an ice age? That's what some news stories said lately...
    Like this one: http://www.presstv.ir/detail/2014/01/20/346654/new-mini-ice-age-may-hit-earth/
    The Express wrote about it too: http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/454657/Ice-age-on-the-way-as-scientists-fear-the-Sun-is-falling-asleep

    This is an article I found seems quite related as it connects global warming (doesn't deny it) and the coming ice age: http://www.technologyreview.com/article/416786/global-warming-vs-the-next-ice-age/

  20. Win8.1 Problems! on Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · · Score: 1

    Win8.1 still has problems. I'm testing the pro N Uk English version which doesn't have WMP or the WMV codecs.
    You can get alternatives but there are problems:
    - Vreveal 3 doesn't work without WMP.
    - Ashampoo Burning Studio 12 doesn't work without WMP.
    - Cyberlink WaveEditor (part of PowerDirector) doesn't work without WMP.

    I tried to following instructions to install the Media Pack.
    Tried installing win8 media pack - not compatible with win8.1

    Tried following instructions to 'add features to windows 8.1' - searching for this only gets me a microsoft page with instructions on how to do this.
    I might try an upgrade to win8.1 pro (no N) next.

  21. Apply for a University Course as a Mature Student on Ask Slashdot: Getting Hired As a Self-Taught Old Guy? · · Score: 1

    You can do that in Malta, and it's free to boot if you're from the EU..
    You really should get some qualifications. An alternative is to do a diploma course if you wish to do something with less effort, or start off with the diploma course and then move to the University Course.

  22. David Hewlett as the Doctor! on Matt Smith Leaves "Doctor Who" · · Score: 2

    I think David hewlett should become the next Doctor! He's awesome and he was born in the uk anyway...

  23. Has it reached Sidon yet? on Voyager 1 Officially Exits Our Solar System · · Score: 1

    Obligatory Space:1999 joke...
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager's_Return

  24. Ignores 2010 / 3001? on 2001: a Space Odyssey's Dave Returns To Sci-fi In New Film · · Score: 1

    So does it ignore, or even retcon, the 2010 and 3001 books?

  25. Re:What I'd like in the new series on The New Series of Doctor Who: Fleeing From Format? · · Score: 1

    I wrote a similar fanfic once, a number of years ago. Only it's the Keeper, not Colin, who does this to the Doctor and his companions. Anyway, to do it the way you did it would bore most fans I think...
