  1. Re:Pah! Antisocial network on Senators Ask Feds To Probe Facebook Log-in Requests · · Score: 1, Informative

    99.9% of the people who don't have facebook are anti-social nuts?

  2. Fuel on Elon Musk: Future Round-Trip To Mars Could Cost Under $500,000 · · Score: 1

    How does he plan on getting the fuel TO Mars in the first place?

  3. Re:You used to be cool, Canada on Canadian Music Industry Wants Subscriber Disclosure Without Court Oversight · · Score: 2

    As a Canadian, I can confirm that the above post is an accurate depiction of what happened.

  4. Re:Apache on Apache 2.4 Takes Direct Aim At Nginx · · Score: 2, Funny

    What about easy?

  5. Obligatory on Moon May Not Be As Dead As We Thought · · Score: 2

    That's no moon!

  6. Re:Apple hates the dreaded F-word on A5 Mystery Solved (Why Siri Won't Run On iPhone 4) · · Score: 1

    I wish I didn't use my modpoints up. That post was actually pretty funny. Shame on whoever modded it -1.

  7. Re:That must be why it works just as well on A4 on A5 Mystery Solved (Why Siri Won't Run On iPhone 4) · · Score: 0

    Server load is the main reason for limiting Siri's use to 4S owners.

  8. Re:Interesting but wrong on A5 Mystery Solved (Why Siri Won't Run On iPhone 4) · · Score: 1

    Yup. It's mainly because the server power needed to process Siri commands is pretty large and Apple didn't want to overload the servers.

  9. How does Gingrich stand on SOPA/PIPA/ACTA? Irony at its finest.

  10. Re:Silly Scale on Nano-Scale Terahertz Antenna May Make Tricorders Real · · Score: 1

    Log scale: 10^2 = 100 = 2 orders of magnitude. Still a bit nonsensical to say 30,000 times smaller though. Most of us can't really get a handle on what that means (although 100 nm might also be hard to grasp for some).

  11. Re:Some people don't need this on Google Updates Algorithm To Punish Websites With Excessive Ads · · Score: 0

    Thanks, Adobe shill.

  12. obviously... on What To Do With a 1,000 Foot Wrecked Cruise Ship? · · Score: 1

    Mythbusters. That is all.

  13. Genius on MRI Powered Pill-Sized Robot Swims Through Intestines · · Score: 1

    This is genius! Think about possible extensions of this. We could have nanomanchines even going through the body killing disease and not have to worry about powering them.

  14. Re:For your own good on Microsoft Upgrading Windows Users To Latest Version of MSIE · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure there's a way to prevent this.

  15. Re:For your own good on Microsoft Upgrading Windows Users To Latest Version of MSIE · · Score: 1

    I'm so incredibly in favour of this. Stupid people using IE6 still :@:@:@

  16. Re:Does this mean on RIM PlayBook Tablet Jailbroken · · Score: 1

    It does, if you sync it with your blackberry (phone). I was just refuting the point that you cannot check your emails on it, not that it was an ideal situation.

  17. Re:Said it before and I'll say it again ... on Google, Facebook Upset By Ad-Injecting Apps · · Score: 1

    I've still seen banner ads that use animated gifs (when I don't have adblock enabled). Then again, I've barely seen them in years either (since I have adblock).

  18. Re:Pffft. on Why We Need More Programming Languages · · Score: 1

    Ok Linus

  19. Re:Said it before and I'll say it again ... on Google, Facebook Upset By Ad-Injecting Apps · · Score: 1

    Animated Gifs?

  20. Re:Said it before and I'll say it again ... on Google, Facebook Upset By Ad-Injecting Apps · · Score: 5, Informative

    Actually, adblock blocks youtube ads embedded in videos. I didn't even realize that youtube HAD started putting ads in videos until I used a browser without adblock.

  21. Re:Does this mean on RIM PlayBook Tablet Jailbroken · · Score: 0

    Yeah, go to www.gmail.com on your playbook/torch browser. Difficult, I know.

  22. Re:Almost worth it... on RIM PlayBook Tablet Jailbroken · · Score: 3, Interesting
    Wtf, why is this modded insigntful? QNX is a far superior OS to Android or iOS.

    Still, RIM is on track to convert to Android.

    Source? Seriously, people that say this crap don't know what they're talking about.

  23. Re:Buffalo on Ask Slashdot: Best Flash-Friendly Router To Replace Aging WRT54GS? · · Score: 2

    I recommend Gargoyle Firmware. It's based on OpenWRT.

  24. Re:Slashdot Anti Apple Bias on Carrier IQ Software May Be in iOS, Too · · Score: 1

    Err...hold your pitchforking. It was posted on ./ about two weeks ago and was a big story.

  25. Re:Android on Carrier IQ Software May Be in iOS, Too · · Score: 1

    Google already has all your information. It's evil companies like Samsung that don't.
