  1. Re:I don't get it. on Windows Phone 8 Users Hit Some Snags · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Jokes aside, Microsoft had to make the "perfect" phone to fight against iOS and Android. Perfect in a way that that kind of problem (freeze, reboot) doesn't happen - the interface itself is another story. These flaws demonstrate (again) how thick is MS management problem. Ballmer should never have tolerated a phone that buggy to be publicly sold.

  2. Quality on Ask Slashdot: How To Make a DVD-Rental Store More Relevant? · · Score: 1

    What is annoying is to rent a turkey movie DVD. So, open imdb.com and get only movies with a rating of 7+.

  3. Re:Microsoft is right on Microsoft Complains That WebKit Breaks Web Standards · · Score: 1

    They are developing their own extensions and putting them out as webkit- prefixed (...) WebKit is now doing exactly what everyone hated IE doing years ago

    Using prefixes would have been less of a problem: Microsoft implemented wrongly standard css rules (compared to the w3c recommendations). Would they have used prefixes, we could have avoided them, but when basic rules ("margin", "padding", "border") are buggy, that's another story.

  4. Re:Sounds like a dangerous step to me on One Step Toward a Babel Fish: Real-Time Voice Translation For Phones · · Score: 1

    Well if the translating machine works as "well" as Google Translate, the other listening party may feel insulted at times!

  5. Re:Countermeasures Deployed on AdTrap Aims To Block All Internet Advertising In Hardware · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Nowadays there are better alternatives (e.g. stackexchange.com). EE answers often used to be unreliable, now they're meaningless.

  6. Re:The law says... on Papa John's Sued For Unwanted Pizza-Related Texts · · Score: 1

    There are things like that I wish are the same in all countries. In France for instance, you may receive spam mail just because the site is buggy. Out of laxity, some sites do deal with unsubscribe and all, but it's so buggy it doesn't work well - it's not deliberate, people just don't care. Having mil$ to pay would certainly help the said sites to improve their IT/programming.

    It fits! Well, we'd have a closer star... 4ly is too far. Voyager is only 17 light hours from us

    great! So you say there's nothing wrong in behaving like a pig..

    ...is as Good as the OS It Runs On says Dean Hachamovitch, Microsoft's top gun on the Internet Explorer browser team. Well, this is a double-edged sword...

    That's ok, in 10 years from now 80% of the Cs-137 will still remain to find where the leak comes from. Lucky us.

    Don't worry you will see a much longer solar eclipse when global warming strong effects start to come on stage.

    Sinofsky was a fuse. Ballmer sits next on line...

  17. Re:Use a pre-built on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 1

    Why not. Most of forums are based on templates derived from other templates... Creating a forum from those templates will give a déjà vu feeling. If you have the competence in CSS+your-scripting-language-of-choice, build a new and original forum

  18. Re:idiots on GNOME 3.8 To Scrap Fallback Mode · · Score: 1

    Fallback mode was mostly a non-functional imitation of a Gnome 2 interface in the minimal default configuration that no one used

    Not no one. Ok, have to admit Unity made some progress since v1. But as long as it requires us the pain to do that to add a simple icon to the launcher, I'll stick to Classic (where a alt-right-click Add to Panel suffices...)

    The French government being in a dead end, having to find money wherever it is, and Google, making a lot of money, represents an ideal milk cow. In return, Google would be in a dead end if they accept the French tax: the rest of the world will want their share of the cake.
