  1. Re:Stop Spreading FUD on OS X Notifier App Growl Goes Closed Source · · Score: 1

    Microsoft nonexistent.

  2. Re:Woot on EU Court Rules Against Stem Cell Patents For Research · · Score: 1

    OMG. It seemed too good to be true already and now my belief in the saneness of the EU has vanished completey. I would emigrate, but Europe is still the best place to live in on this planet.

  3. Re:lolwut on Microtouch: 8-bit Open Source Media Device · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I thought. A device these days is as good as its software is, and just because of that it will never be an iPod Touch. If you want an open source media device just buy a Nokia N900 and don't complain about the lack of quality software for it.

  4. Re:Cell patents bad, but brain implants ok ?! on EU Court Rules Against Stem Cell Patents For Research · · Score: 1

    That's an interesting technology. When it works we will have to use it on all politicians to remind them that they are there for their people and not for themselves.

  5. Woot on EU Court Rules Against Stem Cell Patents For Research · · Score: 2

    Nice to see there are still some brain cells working in the EU.

  6. Re:My money... on Why Mars Is Not the Best Place To Look For Life · · Score: 1

    My money is on the Earth.

  7. Re:Sounds interesting on Opera Proposes Switching Browser Scrolling For 'Pages' · · Score: 1

    I don't see your problem. Luckily Opera can not patent their brilliant idea anymore because they threw it out in the open already. So bring it on everybodyl

  8. Another point of view on Steve Jobs Dead At 56 · · Score: 1

    It is very sad for the people he left behind that Steve passed away, but look at it from his point of view. No more pain, no more anxiety of 'how long do I still have, will I be able to finish this before I die' etc, no more hospital visits... I think being dead must be a blessing for him.

  9. Re:Android phone under $100 on Nokia Preps Linux OS For Low-End Smartphones · · Score: 1

    Could you name me some of those decent Android phones? I'd like one for that money but I have no idea what to look for. There is so much on the market!

  10. Just a little while on Microsoft Has Lost $5.5 Billion On Bing Since 2009 · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Analysts expect Bing to become profitable in 'three to four years."

    That's about as long as it takes for Linux to reach the desktop.

  11. Re:I call Shenanigans!!! on Ask Slashdot: Best Use For a New Supercomputing Cluster? · · Score: 1

    You mean like a boss who starts a war in, let's say, Iraq? I can't agree more. Still, it happened and he got away with it. There must be many more bosses like him in all sorts of work.

  12. Re:I call Shenanigans!!! on Ask Slashdot: Best Use For a New Supercomputing Cluster? · · Score: 1

    Any boss without knowledge of IT but with an interest in 'cool stuff' would do that.

  13. Re:No win, really on Apple Bans Game App That Criticizes Smartphone Production · · Score: 1

    I think blocking this gives the 'game' as well as Apple more press coverage than allowing it, so we have here a win/lose situation.

  14. Re:Extension == Theft on EU Extends Music Copyright to 70 Years · · Score: 1

    Nonsense; it was never in the public domain to begin with. Having said that, I am very annoyed to see that BIg Money also has a Big Influence on the EU. I thought the EU had more sense than that.

  15. Re:Annoying on Leaked Cable Shows Heavy US Influence On Swedish Copyright Policy · · Score: 2

    It's indeed annoying and I agree that the Pirate Party Bay should be stopped. However, since the Pirate Party is Swedish, this is a Swedish problem and the US has nothing to do with it.

  16. Re:Annoying on Leaked Cable Shows Heavy US Influence On Swedish Copyright Policy · · Score: 2

    Corruption is legal in America.

  17. Annoying on Leaked Cable Shows Heavy US Influence On Swedish Copyright Policy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's pretty annoying that the US think they can and should govern the whole world.

  18. Re:Luck on 18-Year-Old Student Discovers Comet Break-Up · · Score: 2

    Yes but for the one who loses preparation still has met opportunity. Or something.

  19. Re:Luck on 18-Year-Old Student Discovers Comet Break-Up · · Score: 1, Funny

    I don't usually complain about moderation but the person who modded me 'offtopic' doesn't have all his braincells wired correctly.

  20. Luck on 18-Year-Old Student Discovers Comet Break-Up · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    I think it's more incredible luck than an incredible achievement.

  21. Re:Huh on Apple's iCloud Runs On Microsoft Azure · · Score: 2

    When you are an adult other things than principles become important, like earning more money than you will ever need by whatever means possible. It's hard to explain, but using you opponent's products can then suddenly make sense.

  22. Re:so much for e-ink... on Hands-On Account of Amazon's Upcoming Color Kindle · · Score: 2

    2011 was to be the year of the e-readers but so far I haven't seen any new and cool device come out. I love my B&W latest generation Kindle but if a real color Kindle with e-ink and a touch screen comes out I would instantly start to think about buying it.

  23. Re:Microsoft on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    Whereas Bill Gates would happily give the company to the first moron he met? I think Bill trusted Steve B. to keep MS strong, but I don't think even Bill would have been able to keep MS like it was in the mid-1990s.

  24. Re:Steve's impact on the world on Steve Jobs Resigns As Apple CEO · · Score: 1

    There were PDAs before the iPhone. Even PDAs with which you could call. Remember Palm? Steve didn't invent anything new; he was just much better at marketing the iPhone than Palm was in marketing the Palm Pilots they made.

  25. Re:rather generic on Sale of Samsung Galaxy Tab Blocked in the EU · · Score: 1

    Like a playing card, you mean?
