  1. I might be wrong, but... on Google Has Android Remote App Install Power, Too · · Score: 1

    Don't most rooted phones not have this sort of worry? I could have sworn that most of them disabled at least the OTA update capabilities so that rooted phones didn't get suddenly un-rooted or updated with things that conflict with your own changes.

  2. Unlucky? on Astronomers Solve the Mystery of 'Hanny's Voorwerp' · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think that such a gas cloud is fairly lucky to be lit up like that. Unless, of course, the radiation is somehow harmful to a giant cloud of gas.

  3. Re:About time on YouTube Granted Safe Harbor From Viacom · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah. If I want annoying comments, I can just skulk around /. while my torrents... torrent.

  4. Re:Swype is really awesome on Swype Beta For Android Is Open, Temporarily · · Score: 1

    Well, if he was actually pitching it as a product, he'd know that Swype's already shipping with a few Android phones...

  5. Re:Something seems off on Movie Studio Finally Sees the Light On Rentals · · Score: 1

    At 1$ a frame and 24 frames a sec, a standard 190 min movie only comes out to $273,600.

    Maybe they're shooting at 120 fps? =o

  6. Wrong! on Bill Proposes Canadian Cellphone Unlocking Rights · · Score: 0

    I live in Texas. And god damnit, the only thing we really have besides cattle, space, and oil industries, is really low taxes. I was somewhat unnerved when I visited Vancouver.

  7. Re:Here's a silly question on Why Some Supermassive Black Holes Have Big Jets · · Score: 3, Funny

    Or at least the mass that was you reaches the Singularity. You probably don't, as you are most likely dead.

  8. Obviously.... on Drunken Parrots Falling From Sky · · Score: 1

    The birds have caught Darwinism.

  9. Re:The Pope on Pope Rails Against the Internet and Transparency · · Score: 1

    Infallible on topics of religion, not in anything else. Just thought I'd clear that up.

  10. Re:Isn't that called Google? on Bill Gates Knows What You Did Last Summer · · Score: 2, Informative

    To be fair, Google did improve the quality of my (online) life.

  11. Re:Would you pay for Google ad-free? on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    I was being facetious. Y'know, you made it sound like no one would, when you did exactly that for Slashdot?

  12. America is in the wrong on China Slams Clinton's Call For Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    We all should know that preemptive use of Hilary Clinton is against everything we stand for. This is the worst thing since Hiroshima and Nagasaki. http://www.theonion.com/content/video/u_s_condemned_for_pre_emptive_use

  13. Re:Would you pay for Google ad-free? on Hiding From Google · · Score: 1

    I dunno. How many people would pay Slashdot to not show ads to them?

  14. Re:Our response is? on Google Attackers Identified as Chinese Government · · Score: 1

    I am somewhat worried by your consistently vague use of the word "they."

  15. Hmmm on Revisiting DIY HERF Guns · · Score: 2, Funny

    I can't be the only one who read this as "DIY NERF Guns" and imagined an arena of people duking it out with homebrewed foam weapons, right?

  16. Mature Titles? on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One reason I believe that children are underrepresented is, at least, partly the nature of mature games. Depiction of violence to children is frowned upon if not flat-out illegal in most countries. For the sake of consistency (why can't I rip off the child's head? It should be easier than the adults!), they're just excluded, I.E. Prototype.

  17. Re:The real reason. on Why Our "Amazing" Science Fiction Future Fizzled · · Score: 1

    Oooor we'd just be filled with the sort of scientists who don't even get to shout "They said I was mad! I will prove them wrong today!" because what they were doing wouldn't be taboo. Fanatical ANYTHING is bad, fanatical search of progress is, if anything, more dangerous than fanatical religion. When the world inevitably falls to zombie apocalypse, the blank in "What has _______ DONE?!" will mostly likely be filled with "science".

  18. Re:You'll need difference examples on Why Our "Amazing" Science Fiction Future Fizzled · · Score: 1

    So... it isn't an exciting new technology until it in fact, becomes an exciting old technology?

  19. Re:Summary is a complete ripoff! on OLPC Spinoff Pixel Qi Merges E-ink With LCD · · Score: 1

    Considering the linked article IS the Engadget one... And the little grey bar is usually meant to mean it's a quote, then yes, it IS a copy-paste. Duh.

  20. Re:Wolfram stuff? on Wolfram Alpha vs. Google — Results Vary · · Score: 1

    In other news, Wolfram becomes the popular engine for furries!

  21. Re:this just in on Wolfram Alpha vs. Google — Results Vary · · Score: 1

    Back in my day, we didn't HAVE index cards! We went to creepy old men in their creepy old private libraries and asked them if they had comic books! Never did! Blasted kids are lucky today!
