  1. Re:Great Idea, But... on IBM's Patent-Pending Traffic Lights Stop Car Engines · · Score: 1

    Why not just put the timer on the traffic lights themselves then and allow the human to manually decide what happens? Either fully automate our personal motorcoaches or gtfo.

  2. Re:Scroogle is better on Google Offers Encrypted Web Search Option · · Score: 0

    This is a much more anonymous alternative. They even have a custom contract with Google to not pull user data with their adsense crap. You can even proxy the links through a proxy server :)

  3. Why is it so expansive?

  4. Re:If you cant beat them...your Microsoft. on Microsoft Sues Salesforce.com Over Patents · · Score: 2, Funny

    Grammar. I see that alot, ironically.

  5. Re:What if their games suck on Do Gamers Want Simpler Games? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I was sad when I finished Throne of Bhaal, because I knew I would never be satisfied by another game ever again.

  6. Why is this in idle? on Salad Spinner Made Into Life-Saving Centrifuge · · Score: 1

    This seems like something actually interesting to read! Can we swap kdawson for samzenpus please.

  7. Re:Title is nonsense on Court Allows Unmasking of P2P Downloaders · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'd like them to definitively prove that he was the user behind the IP address.

  8. Sigh on False Start For Cyber Security Challenge UK · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of the four paragraphs in the article, there's one entirely about how the toolbar run by the website will protect you from XSS, and hardly goes into detail about anything amusing at all. It's not even that good of an XSS hole... simply boring.

  9. Wait, also on Microsoft Tips the Scale In Favor of HTML 5 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why the fuck is this categorised as Apple? It can't have less to do with Apple. Seriously.

  10. What does this have to do with Flash? on Microsoft Tips the Scale In Favor of HTML 5 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Google only allows H.264 video to be played in its browser. It also supports Flash. I understand that supporting is killing Flash, but seriously, they're not mandating the use of HTML5 only like Apple. "Comparing apples and oranges" as they say.

  11. The silver lining on Bungie Signs 10-Year Deal With Activision · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No more rehashes of Halo :D

  12. Re:No... on Does HP + Palm = Facepalm? · · Score: 1

    Oh god I laughed so hard. A shame you weren't logged in so karma means nothing to you!

  13. Re:What about ACTA ? on Indian Copyright Bill Declares Private, Personal Copying "Fair Dealing" · · Score: 4, Informative

    India is not involved with ACTA. Most of Asia is not involved with ACTA. ACTA will only affect the consumer as far as I can see, and it sucks.

  14. Re:It's a land grab on Facebook and the "Social Graph" · · Score: 1

    What he said is entirely valid, and it really brings nothing new to the market. Digg and Reddit, and even Twitter have cornered this market for a long time have they not?

  15. Die Apple on Apple To Buy ARM? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Don't hijack the one fucking processor that has a chance of possibly dethroning the wintel empire with its vast quantities of low energy and epic win.

  16. A lawyer on How Do I Create a Spiritual Game Successor? · · Score: 1, Troll

    Once again, Slashdot is not a lawyer. Ask one.

  17. Re:"the world's largest enterprise software vendor on The Struggle To Keep Java Relevant · · Score: 1

    You've got it all wrong! It's the vendor of the world's largest enterprise software, dah!

  18. Re:I wonder... on Clues That Apple's Bought Another Processor Design House · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not the same. MS was openly destructive. At least, sometimes, Apple offers something new and competitive.

  19. Quoi. on Indian Census To Collect Fingerprints, Photos · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    How does collecting genetic data assist in statistically analysing population trends?

  20. Re:6x 22"? What about one large TV? on Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 — Gaming On Six Panels · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Most TVs can only handle resolutions of up to 1920x1080, as they're made for HD video, so there is a slight advantage to the multiple monitor layout. However, the frames between the monitors would drive me insane.

  21. Re:But PPAU still need your membership! (it's FREE on Pirate Party Pillages Private Papers · · Score: 2, Informative

    The Australian Electoral Commission does not allow this. They're a tad archaic.

  22. Re:I agree with their motives... on Pirate Party Pillages Private Papers · · Score: 1

    I don't think the argument is against governments being able to privately discuss and debate legalities without public scrutiny. The argument is that once the government has had enough time to develop an argument to present to the public, why should that argument remain secret? How will that benefit their constituents?

  23. Re:I agree with their motives... on Pirate Party Pillages Private Papers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It has been in discussion for two years, isn't two years long enough?

  24. Re:Why did Novell not Linux-ify older Netwares? on Novell Rejects "Inadequate" $2B Takeover Bid · · Score: 3, Informative

    Isn't that essentially what OES2 is? Except for the fact it's locked to SLES, that's basically what it is, Netware on Linux.

  25. Re:Patents on Licensing an Abandonware Game? · · Score: 1

    I believe this had occurred; I remember a discussion about it within the OpenTTD community on IRC — a few years back — about talking to Sawyer, but apparently it was found he had no legal recourse to sue OpenTTD. I wish I had the logs.
