  1. How many on OLPC's XO-1.75 Laptop To Have a Multitouch Screen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How many children have the OLPC already? Three? Wouldn't it be better to focus on cheap production methods instead of adding the latest fad?

  2. Re:RSimple solution - return it. on Apple To Issue a 'Fix' For iPhone 4 Reception Perception · · Score: 1

    MS wants to sell all the Kins that were produced, which is logical from their point of view.

  3. Re:Just think before you share on Facebook, Friend of Divorce Lawyers · · Score: 1

    What SDF-7 said :). But if you get rejected just because of some pictures then you'd better think if you really want to work for the company that rejected you.

    You can also place only 'normal' pictures on the internet. Think before you upload!

    They certainly can, but they can't take the whole company like they could with GM.

    BP stands for British Petroleum. If BP was an American company Obama would probably already have taken it.

  7. Cumulative vomiting on "Cumulative Voting" Method Gaining Attention · · Score: 1

    I read 'cumulative vomiting' and thought it was some new artsy thing people do in the States.

  8. Re:Windows 7 is actually kinda good on Time To Dump XP? · · Score: 1

    If they ripped it off Apple they did a pretty poor job because it's dead slow compared to OSX, especially when waking up or switching users. Luckily you don't do that often in a day. But for the rest Windows 7 is pretty decent if you ask me. Much more useable than Vista.

  9. Re:A hard choice on Apple's HTML5 and Standards Gallery Not Standard · · Score: 5, Funny

    They should have made a demo in Flash so everyone could see it.

  10. Re:Two more on Sticky Rice Is the Key To Super Strong Mortar · · Score: 1

    Rice is very slippery, and therefore dangerous to have lying on the street, because the grains are round. Bird seeds are flatter. Another thing is: wet rice is slippery because of the sticky substance that it turns into.

  11. Re:I'm bemused on How Google Can Make Android Truly Tablet-Worthy · · Score: 1

    The only part of your post that I have a problem with is this: To do all this I gave up the features that are important to you but got features that turned out to be important to me. I never said anything about my needs so what do you know about them?
     
    I knew I would get modded down of course because if you say anything that looks even remotely like downgrading Apple or Apple fans you get modded down here on Slashdot.

  12. Re:I'm bemused on How Google Can Make Android Truly Tablet-Worthy · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Apple has a very dedicated herd of followers who buy everything Apple throws at them. Now they all have an iPad it's time for the next iPhone to be bought by them and crank Apple's stock up some more. After the iPhone there will be new Macs the herd will absolutely need, and after that it will be the next iPod versions. And so the game goes on.

  13. Re:Why? on The Rise of Nanofoods · · Score: 1

    Your sample size is too small. Besides, you never hear stories like: "My grandfather ate fries and burgers with lots of mayonaise, cola and salt every day, and he died when he was 15."

  14. Re:Its because doing business in Europe costs more on Apple's Haves and Have Nots, Around the World · · Score: 1

    Another thing is that we have much a longer warranty period on new goods than the US. Apple has to pay for all the repairs within this period too.

  15. Re:Cooking analogy 101 - Outlook on Microsoft Office 2010, Dissected · · Score: 1

    I don't know. Microsoft finally has some serious competition now, and they have to take care of the quality of their products. I like the ribbon in Office 2007: if it's even better in Office 2010 I will buy that software package for sure. OpenOffice is not all good, you know.

  16. Re:LOLwut? on Microsoft Quickly Revises "Sexting" Ad For Kin Phone · · Score: 1

    The ad never even shows what that weird thing is those people are carrying. Is it a sort of PhotoPod with which you can send hpotos to other people in the neighbourhood?

    She looks nice. She's got a beautiful face and body. But I bet you didn't see that, focused as you were on her breasts.

  18. Re:They explain why on Evolution, Big Bang Polls Omitted From NSF Report · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, it seems like the USA is slowly going back to the Middle Ages. Ignoring strong scientific evidence, torturing innocent people, a government that ignores the needs of the normal people... Luckily Obama has put a stop to most of this already. Let's hope he can turn the process around and make America sane again.

  19. Re:I don't think so on Tsunami Warning From Space? · · Score: 3, Funny

    You're right, I only read the first sentence of the question before replying, so my reply was totally off topic. That will probably cost me some karma.

  20. I don't think so on Tsunami Warning From Space? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I'm not an expert on tsunamis but I understood that tsunamis start as very low waves that roll over the face of the ocean for many many miles before reching land. Only where the sea gets less deep they turn into the ferocious waves that destroy everything. So even if you could see them then with a satellite you would still be warned late.

    I was in a Prius taxi once. Man that thing was fast! I went like a chased rabbit, also around corners.

  22. Re:99% of all Start Ups on Garage Startup Develops "Personal Computer" · · Score: 1

    Like me. I'm so happy I could fold my company after three months! No one was interested in what I had to offer, and I learned that I much rather work for someone else than myself.

    Oh boy that movie was just about as much fun as Clippy was.

  24. Re:Why they tell you to turn off your phone... on Do Car Safety Problems Come From Outer Space? · · Score: 1

    Brilliant post. You certainly deserve a +5 Informative for this. I learned all that stuff about lead in High School, but I had a teacher who was a nuclear scientist before he came to my school.

  25. I don't get it on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 1

    I don't get the problem. Can somebody explain what this is really about? To me it really looks like a solution looking for a problem. Or are most banks outside the Netherlands still living in the early 2000's when you were required to use IE for their online stuff?
