  1. Re:People want to know on Amazon Tests a Home-Delivery Service For Groceries · · Score: 1

    At least once a year there is kosher for Passover coke and pepsi, made with real sugar.

  3. Re:Buying HTC on HTC Is Paying Microsoft $5 For Every Android Phone · · Score: 1

    Nobody seems to talk about it, but I am pretty certain Microsoft is shaking down *all* the manufacturers of Android phones and tablets, with the notable exception of Barnes and Noble. Thanks to B&N, you can read how they go about it here. And it's not just money they are getting, they are controlling new development.

  4. Re:Hmm... on Should a Web Startup Go Straight To the Cloud? · · Score: 1

    Not true; a US East micro reserved instance with 3 year term averages out to $7.39 (linux) or $11.77 (windows).

  10. Re:Or they flew over a CAFO on Thousands of Blackbirds Fall From Sky Dead · · Score: 1

    Wow, it's a plural. I'm assuming you all use dumb to mean stupid, not mute, but I don't get how you all deduce s/he's not abstinent.

  11. How many IPv4 addresses were freed up? on China Censors 60,000 Porn Sites, 5,000 Arrested · · Score: 1

    And what will they do with them?

  17. FedEx does require special labels and/or packaging on FedEx Misplaces Radioactive Rods · · Score: 1

    A superficial google search reveals that FedEx requires special labeling for all radioactive materials and special packaging for some. But I'm sure they thank slashdotters for the suggestion.

  23. Re:$1000 a PC? on Generic PCs For Corporate Use? · · Score: 1

    Are you sure? I know their individual service is "next business day", meaning they do phone-or-chat diagnosis to determine the needed parts, ship them next day to the tech subcontractor, and the tech gets to you within the next business day from their arrival. This works out to 2-3 business days. Plus another 2-3 business days when the tech determines the parts you actually need.

  24. Re:$1000 a PC? on Generic PCs For Corporate Use? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yeah; I wonder how much of that is software?
