  1. Re:Showing your age on Lamenting the Demise of Hangups · · Score: 1

    You clearly need someone to send you printed instructions to download Whatsapp :) Or maybe they could just Voxer you

    DIE!

  3. Re:Error establishing a database connection on Employee Outsourced Programming Job To China, Spent Days Websurfing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Or that Slashdot still has the ability to slashdot websites.

  4. Re: one of the biggest and most powerful companies on Google Challenging Microsoft For Business Software · · Score: 1

    Or you could just carry LibreOffice portable along with the documents.

  5. Re:First it's called.. on You Can't Bypass the UI Formerly Known As Metro On Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    It's as if they're trying to rig the search results and hide all the hate! What next, calling it the & interface, just so that searching for it will be a pain? :P

    Cool story bro

  7. Re:As opposed to patents that cover algorithms? on Supreme Court Orders Do-Over On Key Software Patents · · Score: 1

    When an action (or lack thereof) is suspicious, follow the money. There's no money for the MAFIAA in pursuing these spammers.

  8. Re:Yay? on Google Chrome Becomes World's No. 1 Browser · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are in luck! You can keep your $50 because Chromium is free.

  9. Re:Finally on Code Name, Theming Update Announced For Ubuntu 12.10 · · Score: 1

    I've made peace with Unity by forcing the side-bar to be permanently hidden, and relying on Synapse (It's a Gnome-DO alternative) to access applications and files. Works for me!

  10. Re:Cart before horse on More Fuel For Facebook Censorship Advocates In India · · Score: 1

    This is how it is in Indian newspapers. The omission of facts is to deflect accusations of biased reporting, and prevent the possibility of inciting further violence by helping miscreants identify "enemies". While in the West, such omissions may indirectly indict Muslims, it's more complex than that because of the many religions and their sub-sects in India. There have been times when Hindu castes have attacked each other over ridiculous reasons (Boy of Caste A sitting in a park with girl of Caste B). Reasons for flare-ups are commonly moral policing (Women in pubs! Won't someone preserve Indian culture? Take up arms!), alleged "insults" to $Deity and inter-religious relationships. Most of the country can only look at such incidents with condemnation and disgust.

  12. Sensationalist crap on US Losing R&D Dominance To Asia? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "well above half of all such degrees are awarded in Asia"

    Gee, I wonder if that has anything to do with Asia having well above half of the world's population.

  13. Great! on The Doomsday Clock Is Moved Closer To Midnight · · Score: 1

    When this article makes the rounds on Associated Press, it should really help disperse the 2012 apocalypse bullshit.

  14. Early bird bonus: Flying Spaghetti Monster! on Germans Increase Office Efficiency With "Cloud Ceiling" · · Score: 1

    Does the cloud ceiling include its own imaginary creature(s)?

  17. Re:Holy Dancing Manatees, Batman! on The Many Names of Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    Just the version number would suffice, I think, unless, of course, your client/boss likes to hear such words

  18. Re:Package managers on 2-Year Study Shows Mac Users Downloading More Open Source Software · · Score: 1

    Non-geek users don't usually open terminals to install packages. They need simple interfaces. Ubuntu Software Centre, for example, has been in Ubuntu versions since 9.10. That could be one of several reasons.

  19. Re:Religious groups on Two Porn Companies Take ICANN and .xxx Registrar To Court · · Score: 1

    Who said anything about addiction?

    I can't believe this issue still remains without a fix!

  21. Re:US Only :-( on Google Music Goes Live With Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    I'm in India, and a few months ago, Google decided to push its languages to users based on their IP addresses, I guess. I logged into YouTube to find it completely in Hindi! Guess what Google, India has over 2 dozen "official" languages, and not everyone prefers Hindi! What a half-assed effort to promote usage in local languages!

    Doublethink!

  23. Re:Adblock on Facebook Confirms New Cookie-Tracking Issue · · Score: 1

    Yes, it is. There are several extensions, one of which is Facebook Disconnect.
