  1. Re:Luxemburg or Belgium ? on Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name · · Score: 1

    It's easy to confuse those European towns.

  2. Huh? on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    The LogBox link leads to a logging subsystem for a web framework. How is that connected to something running on one's computer?

  3. Scrolling eats CPU cycles on OS X Lion Ships With Faulty NVidia Drivers · · Score: 1

    I noticed this last night. Whenever I scroll, the process owning the window suddenly jumps eats 50% of its core. I found a thread on macrumours.com about the very same symptom. Nvidia 330 GT. It's scrolling, for crying out loud. My Macbook is a 6,2 (don't remember when in 2010 it was released). It doesn't crash, but it doesn't work particularly smooth either. I don't know if it's related to my configuration or not, but the whole GUI crawls when I compile something large, even after making sure that the Nvidia card is always on.

  4. Re:No Google+ for Google Apps' users on Google Trying to Lure Celebs to Google+ · · Score: 1

    Because Google Apps is supposed to be a productivity suite.

  5. Re:Why did they change the algorithm this year? on Green Card Lottery Judgment Favors Mathematical Randomness · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking that ALL previous algorithm runs were skewed and they only discovered that this year after the first run.

  6. Why did they change the algorithm this year? on Green Card Lottery Judgment Favors Mathematical Randomness · · Score: 1

    This is the question that nobody seems to want to ask.

    How come the green card lottery worked just fine the
    years before? Why did they need the change this year
    in the first place?

  7. The attackers left no trace on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 1

    That's Anonymous' trademark!

  8. Saw it coming on Markets For IPv4 Addresses Emerging · · Score: 1

    I've been telling my friends this would happen for more than a couple of years. They've always laughed at me. The sad part is most of them work for ISPs and yet they never saw the bigger picture. They've always seemed to think it was in everybody's best interest to support v6. Well, it isn't. v4 connectivity _will_ become a privilege that only content providers and a few others will enjoy. It's the **AA's wet dream come true, it will be far easier to fight 'piracy'.

  9. YAAA on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 1

    Yet Another ArborNetworks Advertorial. Brought to you by Slashdot.

  10. Re:Read between the lines on OpenOffice.org To Be Given Back To the Community · · Score: 1

    That's what I actually meant :)

  11. Read between the lines on OpenOffice.org To Be Given Back To the Community · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It actually says: the code is a mess and we don't have any customers that would even remotely consider using it. So there, have it back and get off our lawn.

  12. Re:Interesting that it's Flash on Google Rolling Out Live Streaming For YouTube · · Score: 1

    Timing and throttling are a bitch to deal with in HTML5 video. RTMP (still) is better at that.

  13. Re:Mono? On my Android? on Mono Comes To Android · · Score: 1

    That's what happens when you pair it to slutty devices, like the iPhone, over Bluetooth.

  14. Re:Iphone users snowballing? on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 1

    Never! nyuk-nyuk-nyuk.

    also how could an iphone app cure the gay and why couldn't the company have made an app that cures cancer?

    Because there's no market for that. There are no people who are afraid of people with cancer. Not to mention that you can't really start a conversation with "son, your mom and I decided that you don't have cancer anymore. Here's this app, install it on your phone and you're cured".

  15. Depends on how you look at it on Apple Removes Gay Cure App From App Store · · Score: 1

    They didn't remove it from the App Store. They just put it back in the closet.

  16. Czar here, czar there, czars are effing everywhere on CCIA Calls Copyright Wiretaps 'Hollywood's PATRIOT Act' · · Score: 2

    I don't know who the dumbass who first came up with 'czar' is, but I'd sure like to kick his ass. Geeks are very prone to linguistic fetishes. There's nothing romantic about a person in charge of some organisation. And if, somehow, that person has complete and unquestionable authority over something, simply calling him/her a 'czar' won't help. Changing the laws will.

    Excuse my digression.

  17. Re:No paradoxes? on Large Hadron Collider is a Time Machine? · · Score: 1

    I bet he would be far more interested to know about the results of the horse race than the results of the race horse.

  18. Re:No, co's that most WANT you to think them Ethic on Microsoft On List of Most Ethical Companies · · Score: 1

    Indeed. I mean, how many people owe their very existence to alcohol?

    Most of them.

  19. Re:The Social Network Scenes on Ask Slashdot: Worst Computer Scene In TV or Movies? · · Score: 1

    Actually they did use some made up OS - SolarOS. I guess Larry didn't let them use the name, but they wanted to keep the old school touch anyway.

  20. Re:Relies on Jailbreaking on iPhone Attack Reveals Passwords In Six Minutes · · Score: 2

    This isn't about the phone, it's about the Keychain. I'm not sure whether the Mac version is identical or not, and whether FileVault uses it or not, but if both these conditions are met, it's bad. Really bad.

  21. Apple's military-grade encryption, cracked on iPhone Attack Reveals Passwords In Six Minutes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Fb gurl'ir svtherq Nccyr jnf hfvat ebg13, abj jung?

  22. Re:Egypt just turned off all Internet access on Openleaks Goes Live · · Score: 1

    tens of hundreds of lives (including the much more valuable American lives)

    I've actually tried thinking what to reply for a couple of minutes, but I'm speechless.

  23. Re:9 times out of 10? on Recording the Police · · Score: 2

    9 out of 10? Wow, is that a real statistic?

    No, 78.3% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

  24. timothy. on Make Your Own DHS Threat Level Display At Home · · Score: 1

    The new kdawson.

  25. Her naked pictures on Google Seeking "Search Without Search" · · Score: 0

    Ah I bet she already knew we wanted those!
