  1. Location on My Location the Next Google Privacy Controversy? · · Score: 1

    Google Chrome / Firefox asks me if they can have my location, for the websites I go on. I say yes, and they get it right. They use Wifi geolocation, and not the IP address as you'd expect. So they know my town when I'm behind an American proxy. The buggers!

  2. Privacy on My Location the Next Google Privacy Controversy? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm a government spy, you insensitive clods!

  3. I'm a scientist... on What Scientists Really Think About Religion · · Score: 1

    Falsities leading to a sense of wellbeing, goodwill and togetherness are very good for you. Believing you're alone isn't.,

  4. Crisps on Berners-Lee Deconstructs a Bag of Chips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Nomnomnomnomnom.
    And besides, it's crisps. Both he and I are British!

  5. Re:Quantum on Researchers Create 4nm Transistor With Seven Atoms · · Score: 1

    I know how quantum works, you insensitive clod! Actually, looking at it, I can see that it is a transistor. Phew.

  6. Quantum on Researchers Create 4nm Transistor With Seven Atoms · · Score: 1

    That may or may not be a transistor. Probably both.

  7. Sir... on Scientist Infects Self With Computer Virus · · Score: 1

    You've not proved anything, you've just made yourself look like an idiot.

  8. IP on The Fashion Industry As a Model For IP Reform · · Score: 1

    I read "IP Railway". While that would be pretty cool to see, I'm very worried about my eyes now.

  9. IBM CEO on IBM Distributes USB Malware At Security Conference · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mwuhahahahaa... destroy them all! That'll show 'em! They should've chosen OUR DOS, and we shouldn't have given them OUR PCs...

  10. Capabilities on Cherrypal Mini-Laptop Now Runs Android · · Score: 1

    "533 MHz with 256 megabytes of RAM and 2 gigabytes of NAND flash" - should be enough to run a base Debian install with a browser and run Bibud on top of it. For the price, that could be a pretty nifty machine.

  11. Re:Hence why: on UK Court Finds Company Liable For Software Defects · · Score: 1

    Are we screwed then?

  12. Re:Hence why: on UK Court Finds Company Liable For Software Defects · · Score: 1

    Well, if you're going to advertise that this is definitely OK for the job, then fair enough.

  14. Hence why: on UK Court Finds Company Liable For Software Defects · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    They forgot the clause in almost all free software programs, similar to this:

    "There is no warranty for the program, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Except when otherwise stated in writing the copyright holders and/or other parties provide the program “as is” without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose. The entire risk as to the quality and performance of the program is with you. Should the program prove defective, you assume the cost of all necessary servicing, repair or correction."

    It would be capitalised, but oh, Slashdot.

    Maybe we did it for a joke.

  16. HTML5 on Is HTML5 Ready To Take Over From Flash? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... is great. JS engines keep getting better and you're not relying on ONE company to make your proprietary closed unreleased technology useful.

  17. Re:I'd be using it... on Black Market May Develop For IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 1

    Because I have an OS upgrade by now. That was maybe a year ago.

    Woohoo! Massive technical inconvenience! Aww, you saw through my plan... at least it might have been a quiet day... Alright, 2 weeks after everyone gets back?

  21. I'd be using it... on Black Market May Develop For IPv4 Addresses · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'd be using IPv6 if only my ISP supported it. I think all ISPs should get on with getting it out there, and then give us one by default. Then no one would have to worry, except the ISPs. Because IPv4's going to run out so soon, I'd recommend a nice round date for the deadline for the Internet switchover - 1/1/2011.

    I'm a Vulcan, you insensitive clod!

  23. Lack of cows on The Mystery of the Missing Methane · · Score: 1

    "despite the lack of cows" - I like it. It's a good analogy. However, cows would need oxygen too. And it's not the cows' fault!

  24. Bad idea on EyeDriver Lets Drivers Steer Car With Their Eyes · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Heheheh. Look at that-AAAARGH!

    What if you're trying not to hit a pedestrian but in concentrating do so? Not good.
