  1. Re:Actual cost? on Raspberry Pi Arrives, With a School Debut In Leeds · · Score: 2

    No, he means the actual price minus the Broadcom subsidies.

  2. Re:incredibly bad move on Open-Source NVIDIA Driver Goes Stable On Linux · · Score: 1

    Maybe even features like KMS might happen now...

    No it won't. NVIDIA's actual customers on *Nix are people who don't give a flying fuck about KMS. And no, their actual customers are not Linux "gamers" are desktop cube jockeys.

  3. Re:Why not PC? on Skyrim Is Getting Kinect Support, Dragon Shouts Included · · Score: 1

    They were paid to do so. Just like anyone does platform exclusive things.

  4. Re:The official Slashdot party line... on Ex-NASA Employees Accuse Agency of 'Extreme Position' On Climate Change · · Score: 2

    Yes, a website run by a non-profit group with ties to the oil and coal industries. Truly a non-biased source of information.

  5. Re:This is sad on Ex-NASA Employees Accuse Agency of 'Extreme Position' On Climate Change · · Score: 1

    It's pretty simple. Their shills for the coal industry.

  6. Not convincing on Ex-NASA Employees Accuse Agency of 'Extreme Position' On Climate Change · · Score: 5, Informative

    So what? You could find numerous doctors and scientists with ties to the tobacco industry trying to tell us that cigarettes don't cause lung cancer and how second-hand smoke is safe just a couple decades ago. There is nothing novel about a group of people with financial ties to industries peddling fossil fuels to be spreading FUD over climate research.

  7. Re:Poor guy. on Reddit Subpoenaed In Wrongful Death Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    It's a wrongful death suit, not a criminal case.

  8. Re:I'm sure this isn't over. on Court Rules Code Not Physical Property · · Score: 1

    Double jeopardy won't stop Goldman Sachs from filing a civil suit against this guy.

  9. Re:And? on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 0

    Wow couldn't even finishing reading a post with 2 sentences? No, it's not okay to deny anything as my post explicitly said.

  10. Re:there is no Apple AV group on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 0, Troll

    That doesn't change the fact that it's still a trojan. You're assumption that a trojan has to require the user to have interaction during install is erroneous.

  11. Re:"We don't know the antivirus group inside Apple on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    But how does that get them free advertising for their crapware virus scanner?

  12. Re:Blaming the messenger on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Waaaah. The peddler of some nagware junk virus scanner got the blowoff from Apple. Boo-fucking-hoo.

  13. And? on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yes, they don't have much communication and cooperation with the 'security industry' since it is mostly full of leeches and parasites who make money spreading fear. Now, this doesn't excuse them from failing to acknowledge issues, since that's just as bad, but the less this 'industry' leeches itself to OS X the better.

  14. Re:there is no Apple AV group on Apple Snubs Security Firm That Spotted Mac Botnet · · Score: 3, Informative

    Flashback isn't a virus...

  15. Re:For this you want a professional product on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Tax Software? · · Score: 1

    Taxes are withheld from your income. But there are also a myriad of deductions and adjustments that can be applied that make it more complex.

  16. Re:For this you want a professional product on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Tax Software? · · Score: 1

    That and I would always be wary of any tax softwre not backed up with warranty on its accuracy no matter if it's FOSS or not. You don't want some subtle bug to cause an audit to hit you and then you find out that your software's developer disclaims all liability. Besides most tax companies offer pretty comprehensive editions for free for the average tax filer.

  17. Just be careful on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Tax Software? · · Score: 1

    Be careful. While any such FOSS tools might be fully accurate, sometimes it's worth extra money to ge the gaurantees and backing from a TurboTax, H&R Block, etc. in case there are any inaccuracies. And you can export out yoyr return as a pdf for your records. Sometimes ideology is not as important as getting backing in case the IRS comes snooping. *shrug*

  18. Re:Nothing, if Microsoft is smart. on AOL Patent Deal Means Microsoft Now Holds Vestiges of Netscape · · Score: 0

    The App Store has a number of alternate browsers. So what locking out are you referring to?

  19. How dare they! on Poo-Powered Rickshaw Unveiled At the Denver Zoo · · Score: 1

    How dare they! Don't they know this will end up destroying someone's livelihood!

  20. Haha what? on Linux 3.3: Making a Dent In Bufferbloat? · · Score: 2

    Umm, it was only released 9 days ago. Do you really think every server, router, gateway, etc. is upgraded through magic days after a new kernel version is released? Considering most devices will probably never have their devices updated don't you think it's a bit early to be asking this?

  21. Re:Why Video? on Slashdot Asks: How To Best Record Remote Video Interviews? · · Score: 0

    This is for video interviews to post as articles.

  23. Re:Google is one of the pioneers of HTML5 on Book Review: HTML5 Developer's Cookbook · · Score: 1

    Oh please, it's been 15 months since they claimed they were going to remove support. If they couldn't do something in 15 months, they're incompetent. That or it was just chest thumping that they couldn't back up.

  24. Re:sure... on China Plans To End Executed Prisoner Organ Donations Within 5 Years · · Score: 2

    You seem to presume that all these people being execute were actual criminals rather than just political prisoners being executed and harvested for organs.

  25. Haha on Kazakh Gold Medalist Is Played Borat Anthem · · Score: 1

    They should have known better to not let Borat's brother Bilo pick out the music.
