  1. Re:Well, on UK Gov't Plans To Censor "Extremist" Websites Via Orders To ISPs · · Score: 1

    I don't think voting has ever influenced the government.

    You're right! No Briton can vote in the City of London.

  2. Re:I think they just like making new project names on Jolla's First Phone Goes On Sale · · Score: 1

    Haven't you read the Wikipedia articles you mentioned? Sailfish is not a new name for Mer. It needs Mer to work.

    What an absurd! Everyone hates AIDS in South Africa!

  4. Re:I will spend thanksgiving with my co-workers to on 23% of IT Workers Spend Thanksgiving With Coworkers · · Score: 1

    ...and there won't even be neither turkey nor booze, over here in Europe *g

    (emphasis mine) At least, I hope for you there aren't any grammar-Nazis over there...

  5. Re:The real answer is... on User Alleges LG TVs Phone Home With Your Viewing Habits · · Score: 1

    don't buy a smart TV.

    Since the price difference between a smart TV and a dumb one can be less than $100,00 (here in Brazil where you expend some $700 more to buy a PS4 instead of a PS3), you'd better buy one and root it.

  6. Considering how much havoc Gengis Khan on Explorer Plans Hunt For Genghis Khan's Long-Lost Tomb · · Score: 1

    has brought to the world, it would be a good idea that some try to find his tomb and make sure he's dead.

  7. Re:"First"? on First New Top-Level Domains Added To the Root Zone · · Score: 1

    No, I can't. I've tried. However there are escape codes to type domains in Cyrillic with only Latin letters, e.g. http://xn--d1abbgf6aiiy.xn--p1ai/ (this must be the Russian Federation's president's site, but I can't be completely sure because I can't read Russian.)

  8. Re:"First"? on First New Top-Level Domains Added To the Root Zone · · Score: 1

    Is the title supposed to read "first non-Latin"?

    Actually not. There is a Russian Federation top level domain that does only accept Cyrillic and therefore I can't type on /.

  9. [hlp] anyone? on First New Top-Level Domains Added To the Root Zone · · Score: 1

    How can you insert Cyrillic letters or IPA symbols on /.?

    LOL This was something that should be expected!

  13. Re:Data on Billion Year Storage Media · · Score: 1

    This makes me remember Ovid's banishment. There is a lot of texts talking about the reason for that like it's well know matter, but nobody ever wrote that down, as much as what has been found.

  14. Re:News For Nerds on China Arrests Anti-Corruption Blogger · · Score: 1

    The label apply only when convenient or true. We cannot feel proud of "American research institutes" or "American prowess during Summer Olympics".

  15. Re:News For Nerds on China Arrests Anti-Corruption Blogger · · Score: 1

    Yes, we have this word 'Americas', but we don't feel the need for using it because we never refer to USA as 'America'.

  16. Re:News For Nerds on China Arrests Anti-Corruption Blogger · · Score: 2

    No, he's probably Latino-American.
    We (I'm a Brazilian) are taught in the school that America is either the name of the continent or of the three Americas considered as a whole. We usually refer to the USA as Estados Unidos and some (not including me) even call its inhabitants "estadounidenses" and insist that "Americans" are the inhabitants of any America.

  17. Does it affect Yahoo!? on Some Bing Ads Redirecting To Malware · · Score: 1

    Nothing to be afraid of here, unless the same ads are place beside Yahoo! search results.

  18. "Pretty Much All of Them" on How Many Android OEMs Cheat Benchmark Scores? Pretty Much All of Them · · Score: 1
    ...and some do it better than others.

    The article notes that Apple doesn't do any of the frequency gaming stuff.

    ...for the obvious reason that Apple is the only manufacturer of iOS compatible devices.

  19. Re:Make it an option, PLEASE!!! on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    I use Mageia (a fork from Mandriva). I remember that some years ago middle click did something other than paste, at least when middle-clicking on the desktop area.
    The only Now it creates a note widget (in KDE3, it created a file, instead).

  20. Re:data protection in the EU on France Proposes Consideration of Tax On Data Taken Out of EU · · Score: 2

    That and it's a jobs bill. Hard to consolidate your data centers out of country if that's illegal. Need in-country monkeys to run those boxes!

    Who said that transferring data should or would be illegal. EU citizen have to pay tax on sales, is ever sales illegal?

  21. Re:Make it an option, PLEASE!!! on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1, Informative

    No way, having options is the KDE way.

    By the way, pasting is not the default function of the middle button on KDE nowadays. (I just can't remember what it was as I changed it as soon as I noticed that misbehavior.)

  22. Meanwhile in the Amazon Rainforest on Its Nuclear Plant Closed, Maine Town Is Full of Regret · · Score: 2

    people are afraid that they will not receive proper habitation or compensation when their traditional homes be flooded for the reservoir of hydroelectric plant. I concede that Maine Yankee may not have been clean, but usually people leaving near a nuclear power plant are at risk of reallocation due to a possible accident, while people living near to a area designed for a hydro plant are planned to reallocation (and almost nobody sees the tragedy in this situation). Nuclear power may not be clean, but everything else, even 'renewables', are dirty as well.
