  1. Is what he's saying really true? on Wikipedia Editors Hit With $10 Million Defamation Suit · · Score: 2

    Because to find about him, I'd naturally go to his Wiki page, which he alleges paints a wrong picture of him. I don't know anything about this person, so it would be good to hear from experienced commentators what the fuss is all about.

  2. Re:Are you kidding? on Is the DEA Lying About iMessage Security? · · Score: 2

    Betteridge says NO though.

  3. Re:minority report on Google Glass and Surveillance Culture · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But you don't have to wear it, unless it is forcefully implanted into your eyes. It's opt in, and you can always chose otherwise. The problem here is the ones who do opt in create to others around them.

  4. Re:Martin Gardner on Interviews: James Randi Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    Why are you modded down? This is a fair argument. Atheism deals with belief, while Agnosticism deals with knowledge. You can be an agnostic atheist or an agnostic theist, wherein your belief in god doesn't matter on your stance of agnosticism.

  5. Re:Placebo effect on Interviews: James Randi Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    I shall please you.

  6. Faith healing needs to stop on Interviews: James Randi Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    I've seen many people fall for this trap, and some have lost their lives too. There are some who're even propagating that just thinking that you will be healed will absolve you of the disease, and you will be leading a happy life all again. But what irks me the most is that most of these people I know are Engineers and Doctors, people who've studied Science and know how it works.

  7. Re:Report Abuse on Oxford Temporarily Blocks Google Docs To Fight Phishing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    How is Google Docs employed for phishing? Can anyone enlighten me here? I've used Google Docs at certain times and don't see how it can be used to tricking users to believe that it is the original site they're entering the data into. Or am I missing something here? Unless the users are really that dumb to enter their info.

  8. Ad? on Pepsi To Release New Breakfast Mountain Dew · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This story seems like an ad more than anything else. Just saying.

  9. Re:RIP on Aaron Swartz Commits Suicide · · Score: 1

    Did you quote a copied quote with the intention to redistribute it?

  10. Turning out to be interesting on John McAfee Explains How He Milked Information From Belize's Elite · · Score: 1

    Whatever it is, fictional or fact, his blog posts are turning out to be far interesting than anything else I've read in the past few months.

  11. Re:OMG, nothing new has been made on What Could Have Been In the Public Domain Today, But Isn't · · Score: 2

    crazy, the only movies are the old copyrighted ones

    no new movie, has been made in the last 30 some years because of these copyright laws no new book has been written no new music made

    we are forced to keep on buying the same old movies over and over

    It's not about being able to create new stuff. It's about ensuring unhindered access of our culture and knowledge to our children. Just imagine the possibilities if you can search, catalog and read/view/listen through hundreds of works by artistes who're dead for years, and build upon them. The current copyright law only benefits the greedy corporates, so much creativity is lost just because of that.

  12. Amazon on Rivalry Building Between Amazon and Google · · Score: 3, Informative

    While everyone is more interested in the rivalry of Google, Apple and Microsoft, Amazon has steadily charted up year after year building a base that is more resilient than that of any other.

  13. Re:Hrm on The Text Message Typo That Landed a Man In Jail · · Score: 1

    It is possible. There are millions of Blackberry users, and I am sure some have sent everyone on their contact list a message by mistake. He was just unlucky to have THIS message sent, and that too to underage children.

  14. Speech Jamming Device on Ig Nobels Feature Exploding Colonoscopies, Left Leaning Views of Eiffel Tower · · Score: 5, Funny

    Husbands, take notice.

  15. Re:So they *really* can't let go of the Windows br on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 1

    I think you have a valid point. Aside from Windows and Office, I think the only MS product without Windows incorporated into it and succeed is Xbox.

  16. Re:Sweet Jesus on Microsoft Unveils First New Company Logo In 25 Years · · Score: 1

    I think it looks like the symbol "pi", a subtle geeky touch perhaps? Though I might be looking a bit too deep into it.

  17. Re:Germany ! - Welcome to Germany on Ask Slashdot: What's the Best Place To Relocate? · · Score: 1

    How easy is it to find a job in Germany? I'm an Indian and have completed my engineering under-graduation(B.E. Mechanical) just recently. I am thinking of doing my Masters in Germany considering the opportunities in fields relating to anything mechanical are quite high in Germany. Which university would be best suitable for my needs? My interests lie in the fields of Automobile and Robotics. P.S. - I have completed three levels of German Language from Goethe Institut. Though I'm not very fluent while speaking, I can understand most of what the other person is saying.

  18. The real April Fools on Google Actually Patenting Its April Fools' Joke · · Score: 1

    are the people. Not belittling Google or anyone in particular here, just a rant about how the patent system is turning out to be. So much innovation lost to the obvious patents that go around these days. For the patent office every day is an April Fools' Day.

  19. Re:Good on HPV Vaccine Recommended For Boys · · Score: 1

    This is no surprise, but I am glad it's been approved. Once again science making the world safer.

    Science isn't about asking "why?", it's about asking "why not?". Cave Johnson, I'm done here.

    Isn't science about asking "why", and technology/engineering is about asking "why not?"?

  20. Re:The team should spin out on Nokia Introduces MeeGo-Powered N9 Phone · · Score: 1

    They would have to license a lot of stuff from Nokia, but I do wonder it would be a great undertaking. It's usually not seen in hardware companies.

  21. Re:So everyone else pays a tax... on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    Everyone can so something dickish, but not everyone is a dick.

  22. Table? Why not laptops? on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 0

    I think a better comparison would be with Laptops and not tables.

  23. Only me on How Major Film Studios Manipulate YouTube Users · · Score: 1

    Only I got to play bad, not you, 'cause if you do.............

  24. This is bad on Crysis 2 Leaked Over a Month Before Launch · · Score: 1

    I am neutral when it comes to privacy but leaking a game/movie before release is bad for the industry and especially for the one producing it.

  25. Superman vs. Batman on DC Universe Online To Launch January 11th · · Score: 1

    Who'll win?
