  1. Not free on It's Time To Start Taking Stolen Phones Seriously · · Score: 5, Insightful

    After a $150 deductible

  2. Re:Pics? on A Snapshot of the Inside of an Atom · · Score: 2, Funny

    Ok nevermind. They were hard to find among all the ads.

  6. Re:An Idea.. on Ask Slashdot: How To Give IT Presentations That Aren't Boring? · · Score: 0

    Yeah seriously. If I wanted to participate in social things with people, I would have chosen a career in Marketing, instead of Computers.

  7. Photographer Copyright gets to choose. on Ask Slashdot: Dividing Digital Assets In Divorce? · · Score: 1

    I think however took the picture, holds the photo copyright. Therefore that person should decide if the photo can be shared as a copy. If a stranger on the street took the picture for you (and didn't run off with your camera, phew), then you could both have a copy.

  8. Re:Finally on Ubuntu Tablet OS To Take On Android, iOS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I hate Unity but I love Gnome-shell. (No seriously) Tapping the top left corner to see the overview of apps per desktop, with my videos still playing while I choose which application to bring to the foreground with all its 3D acceleration glory. That's going to rock on a tablet. Then apt-get install whatever I want. Squeeeee!!! I want it. When Ubuntu with Gnome-shell hits an ARM based tablet or a Medfield Atom tablet, that's when I'm jumping in.

  9. Re:The truth slowly comes out on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 2

    And nobody thought about kicking the nosy stranger out.

  10. To be buried in EULA on Franken Bill Would Protect Consumers Location Data · · Score: 1

    Yeah, read all about it in the EULA.

    More Dancing = Stronger core muscles = More umpf

  13. Re:how retro-futurist on Touchless Gesture User Interfaces · · Score: 1

    Is this going to skip Steve Jobs' patent on touching screens with two fingers since there is no touching?

  14. Phone bricking malware on Droid X Self-Destructs If You Try To Mod · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Can't wait for it.

  17. Where's my Ubuntu pad? on iPad Is a "Huge Step Backward" · · Score: 1

    Where's my Ubuntu pad with a usb port? Come on Corporations, make me one already. Is it because the multi-touch patents?

  18. Re:Ubuntu? on Intel and LG Team Up For x86 Smartphone · · Score: 1

    I love Ubuntu and its juicy repositories full of pre-compiled and tested x86 apps. You insist in selling me a Nokia phone that doesn't fulfill all my requirements. And I'm supposed to say, "Oh ok that's good enough. Almost there". Alpha quality repo for my phone? No, thanks. Ubuntu LTS quality? Yes, please.

  19. Re:Ubuntu? on Intel and LG Team Up For x86 Smartphone · · Score: 1

    Sweet. I'll get one and be "almost" happy with it.

  20. Ubuntu? on Intel and LG Team Up For x86 Smartphone · · Score: 1

    But which one of these smartphones is going to let me install Ubuntu 9.10 and let me have root ? That's all I want. A pocket computer with wireless Internet that can make and receive phone calls, and that will let me do "apt-get install " Also let's not go over the board with the size. That LG phone is not going to fit in my pocket, and I don't want to get a purse. http://www.engadget.com/photos/lg-gw990-hands-on/2595625#2595617

  21. Sharkmobile on Midwest Seeing Red Over 'Green' Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Let's mount some laser guns in the car, and use the windshield mist control to fire up a beam that melts the ice.

  22. Ghost Images on Easing the Job of Family Tech Support? · · Score: 1

    Make a Ghost image. Re-image their box when needed.

  23. how much have you saved? on Reporting To Executives · · Score: 1

    with cost reduction projects.

  24. Orb was the closest on Microsoft Research Shows Off Multi-Touch Mouse Prototypes · · Score: 3, Funny

    I liked the Orb, because it was the closest to both the Trackball Explorer and a boob.
