  1. Re:wonderment on The Last GUADEC? · · Score: 2

    You mean Guano decline syndrome?

  2. Re:big effing news on US Hacked Chinese University Network · · Score: 1

    By the time which, Nigeria becomes the next 99%?

  3. Re:Chrome is a trojan horrse.. on Ubuntu Developers Revisit Replacing Firefox With Chromium · · Score: 3, Informative

    The Google Web Store is not the only repository for extensions, you know?

  4. Re:It's easy to get a positive mod on The IIPA Copyright Demands For Canada and Spain · · Score: 2

    I know capitalism is a foul word but what's wrong with letting the market decide?

    The readers is/are the market. So they will decide.

    You writers suffering is probably because of the publishers. So work out with the readers on how to deal with the publishers. Or create your own channels for distributing your works. Maybe you can learn something from how a minor group of Japanese people sells their stuffs.

  5. Re:Always on = !on on Xbox 720 Could Require Always-On Connection, Lock Out Used Games · · Score: 0, Troll

    Which still doesn't make it a reason why not to buy 720.

  6. Re:What did they expect? on Mozilla Named 'Most Trusted Internet Company For Privacy' · · Score: 1

    I take it that the only home you own on the net is your own computing device. Elsewhere, you're just squatting.

  7. Re:Chrome - "Click to Play" on Apple and Mozilla Block Vulnerable Java Plug-ins · · Score: 1

    I didn't notice that option before! Thanks for the tips!

  8. Re:And... on ARM-Based Chromebooks Ready To Battle Windows 8, Tablets · · Score: 1

    The story of Iron: http://neugierig.org/software/chromium/notes/2009/12/iron.html where the developer confesses the motive for developing Iron.

    Here's a blogpost dissecting the comparison: http://insanitybit.wordpress.com/2012/06/23/srware-iron-browser-a-real-private-alternative-to-chrome-21/

  9. Re:Gimme, gimme on Another Call For Abolishing Patents, This One From the St. Louis Fed · · Score: 1

    I wonder if anyone ever got the patent for the ancient water screw

  10. Re:Forced Upgrades? on Why We Love Firefox, and Why We Hate It · · Score: 1

    Ditto here. I thought having separate processes would mean if a tab freezes, I'd be free to use another tab. Instead, the whole browser freezes, and a new tab would not be created after clicking the new tab button, until it stops freezing (which results in many tabs appearing, according to how many times I've clicked the button in frustration).

    Firefox doesn't freeze that often, but that's maybe because I've enabled NoScript.

  11. Re:Approach #99: Hyperbole on UEFI Secure Boot and Linux: Where Things Stand · · Score: 2

    Either (a) you don't treat an ARM tablet as a computer, or (b) you didn't read the ARM part.

  12. Re:search-and-replace dummy on Author Claims Apple Won't Carry Her ebook Because It Mentions Amazon · · Score: 1

    would taylor the books to each store

    Finding the derivative for a whole book is a nightmare. And you want to make a series out of it?!

  13. Re:Ugh, more off-topic video junk on Slashdot's Rob Rozeboom Interviews D&D Designer Mike Mearls - Part 2 (video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Why won't an interview with the designer of a game, that many nerds play, be worthy of Slashdot, which touts to be "news for nerds"?

  14. Re:Single Render Engine on HTML5 Splits Into Two Standards · · Score: 1

    But who will be responsible for the development of the engine? How will it be funded? If changes are to be introduced to the standard, how quickly will it adapt to the changes? Will it be free from ideological or political nonsense?

  15. Re:Comparison to Facebook on Why Is Wikipedia So Ugly? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Intelligence barrier to entry.

  16. Re:Physics-101? on Why Ultra-Efficient 4,000 mph Vacuum-Tube Trains Aren't Being Built · · Score: 1

    You have to consider the energy recapture during deceleration.

  17. Re:And... on Full Upgrades To Windows 8 Only From Windows 7? · · Score: 1

    In my experience, XP SP3, with dialed down UI and tamed background process, runs shittier than unoptimized stock Windows 7. I'd never want to touch an XP box again.

  18. Re:Google being mildly evil... on Gmail Takes Largest Webmail Service Crown · · Score: 1

    So? Does it change the fact that it's now the largest webmail service?

  19. Re:Um... on The Long Death of Fat Clients · · Score: 1

    Those are totally different things, dude. In fact, you can use GWT in AppEngine!

  20. Re:Young listeners? on Young Listeners Opt For Streaming Over Owning · · Score: 1

    Because the 10% of the 70s/80s rock songs have already been testified as worthy to be listened to. How many songs have the young kids ever listened too? I doubt that they listened to all the classic songs themselves; they had the best selected for them.

    And our next generation will have the same opinion about their and our era's music: "The songs from 00s and 10s were much better!"

  21. Re:Google on EU Offers Google Chance To Settle Prior To Anti-Trust Enquiry · · Score: -1, Troll

    I can easily be described as a google fanboy -

    Wow, really?

    and I genuinely believe that the founders were genuine in their model of "Do no Evil"—

    So much for being a fanboy. You couldn't even get the motto right.

  22. Re:Whaaaaaaaat? on Japanese Court Orders Google To Turn Off Auto-Complete Function · · Score: 1

    You haven't taken into account that the site might start seeing non-people logging in. Imagine botnets of billions of nanomachines with AI, each posting constructive comments and moderating sensibly. The Slashdot we know today will be no more :(

  23. You know what? This is the kind of post I've been waiting for when I saw that reply towards the mention of bass player.

  24. Re:The Difference is... on Yahoo Files Patent Infringement Suit Against Facebook · · Score: 1

    The thing is even if it was, you can't be sure if that thing you wrote was generating a page by itself or was magically pulling it from other sources, since you have no means to make any sense out of it.

    Now if you were to write it again from scratch it will no longer be prior art

    Why bring up MP3! This article is about 44.1/16 vs 192/24. Use lossless comparisons, damn it!
