  1. Re:Adobe Air on Drawing the Line Between Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    The Amazon Cloud Player MP3 upload uses Adobe Air...

  2. Adobe - it's a disfunctional relationship on Drawing the Line Between Android and Linux · · Score: 1

    Adobe isn't moving away from the Linux community. Rather, the company is refocusing its efforts into the emerging Linux-based space found in mobile products.

    So you're going to market Dreamweaver and Illustrator/Photoshop as the latest greatest dev tool for building apps? Why do I get the feeling academia would really embrace that...

  3. Bitcoin? on First WebCL Demos Arrive From Nokia and AMD · · Score: 1

    According to Nokia, WebCL can be used for Bitcoin mining - in which case WebCL is good for real world earnings of about $10 per day - at least as long as the Bitcoin currency remains intact.

    Seriously Nokia, first you're trying to sell your handsets by using Windows, and now Bitcoin?

  4. Ahhhh, I get it now on Judge OKs Wiretap Lawsuit Over Google Wi-Fi Sniffing · · Score: 1

    Tracking GPS is good, sniffing wifi is bad.

  5. Damn on Despite Controversy, Federal Wiretaps On the Rise · · Score: 1

    They've been looking for me in some strange places if they're tracking my digital pager.

  6. Patent Pending on Algorithm Solves Rubik's Cubes of Any Size · · Score: 2, Funny

    This system and method for solving a Rubik's cube is a social media networking plug-in widget that synergizes, optimizes, and rightsizes the Rubik cube solving experience, utilizing HTML5/CSS3/JS code in a novel and innovative way to provide end-users with a single, solidified and parsimonious User Interface (UI), optimized for the User Experience (UX), utilizing Information Architecture (IA), over 256bit SSL security. It is built on a 100% cloud-based, distributed OS, independent architectural framework and uses the actual "internet" to facilitate communication between said end-user's "keyboard", to our proprietary "software", and back to end-user's "monitor".

  7. Re:First Post on Hard Drive Overclocking Competition From Secau · · Score: 1, Redundant

    The OP forgot to mention which HDs they were trying to overclock...

  8. Re:The obvious question on World's Best Chess Engine Outlawed and Disqualified · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Unfortunately, Rybka’s source code has never been available, so reverse engineering and straight-up move-evaluation comparison was used to analyze the originality of Rajlich’s chess engine.

    I don't see how anyone can claim plagiarism if they haven't seen source code.

  9. What about me? on Another Android Device Maker Signs Patent Agreement With Microsoft · · Score: 0

    How long until I have to pay M$ a licensing fee for using my android device? Oh wait, I own an HTC, I already gave them $5. Damn you Steve Ballmer, I hope you get sea sick on your yacht.

  10. Re:Sure it *COULD* be... on Might iCloud Be a Musical Honeypot? · · Score: 1
    From wiki:

    The broken windows theory has received support from several empirical studies. At the same time it has also been the subject of a large body of criticism.

    It's been both supported and criticized, as is the case with any theory

  11. Re:Sure it *COULD* be... on Might iCloud Be a Musical Honeypot? · · Score: 1

    Exactly, it will only catch those who have a few pirates in their entire collection. This could play out the same way that NY decreased crime in the 90's using the broken windows theory; bust the people doing petty crimes to prevent escalation into more serious crimes.

    Or it'll just be a PR nightmare for Apple.

  12. Text messaging on Verizon To Drop Unlimited Data Plans In Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    At least they're not getting rid of the unlimited text messaging plan, I just might go over my data quota

  13. It must be Tuesday on LulzSec Suspect Arrested By UK Police · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's important to note at this point that it has not been confirmed that the arrested man is suspected of being involved with LulzSec by the authorities. But many observers are speculating that that could be the case.

    So this "news" article is nothing but speculation?

  14. OMG RepRap is the new skynet on Kilobots — Cheap Swarm Robots Out of Harvard · · Score: 1

    Only now you have to buy parts off ebay

  15. Re:and it begins on FTC Okays Social Media Background Check Company · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're absolutely [filtered], I couldn't [filtered] more with your statement. It reminds me of the other day when I [redacted, don't want nobody to know this], which goes to prove [filtered] and [filtered] about my boss and the company for which I work. He may be a [filtered] but he always [filtered] and [filtered] and even [filtered] when [filtered] enters the room and says [filtered].

    Good god is this what my online conversations are going to become in the name of preserving and protecting my job?

  16. Seriously, who are these "security experts"? on How Citigroup Hackers Easily Gained Access · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One expert, who is part of the investigation and wants to remain anonymous because the inquiry is at an early stage, told The New York Times he wondered how the hackers could have known to breach security by focusing on the vulnerability in the browser. He said: 'It would have been hard to prepare for this type of vulnerability.'

    Are you *really* trying to label this as a browser vulnerability issue?

    You're either *really* incompetent or paid very well to say shit like that.

  17. Seriously on How Journalists Data-Mined the Wikileaks Docs · · Score: 1

    Great video, can we at least get a better FA.

  18. I might be afraid on White House To Announce IT-Powered Smart Grid · · Score: 2

    Will Siemens have anything to do with the 21st century electric grid?

  19. Re:65000.. on CERN Lends a Hand To the Origin of Life · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting God is the product of the first four Fermat primes? Fascinating, overlord has 65535 sides...

  20. Re:You're framing it wrong on Ask Slashdot: Reducing Software Patent Life-Spans? · · Score: 1

    Oh you lawyer you...

  21. You're framing it wrong on Ask Slashdot: Reducing Software Patent Life-Spans? · · Score: 2

    is the life-span the problem for software patents?

    No, the problem is that software is an algorithm and shouldn't be subject to patent law anyways. It's like trying to patent a mathematical formula.

  22. In soviet russia on The Ongoing Case of Rakofsky vs. Internet · · Score: 0

    Duct tape is bigger threat to free speech

  23. Uh-huh on Why the US Govt Should Be Happy About Wikileaks · · Score: 1
