  1. Honeycomb code too Sucky to see the light of day? on Android Honeycomb Will Not Be Open Sourced · · Score: 2

    much too easy.

  3. Better: Charge %age of actual income on University Proposes Tuition Based On Major · · Score: 1

    Pay the University based on what the education turns out to be worth.

    The entry tuition should be lowered over-all, then each student pays 10% of their actual income for the first 20 years after graduation.

    The final cost of the education is then based on how the society actually values it, and the University receives a more steady source of income.

    (The the argument becomes if 10 years is a better measure, since 20 year income may depend more on a student's innate talents than initial education)

    You know, the one who came up with this great "crowd sourcing" idea?

    Make sure nobody misses this one.

  6. As if we could stop it on The Government Internet ID Proposal · · Score: 1

    Hey, even not using in won't help.

    ...after the first few years you won't be able to use a credit card without it. (Or cash a check, if we still have checks, or use cash, if we still have cash.)

  7. Do you feel different about North Koreans now? on FPS Gaming and the 'Just-World Hypothesis' · · Score: 1

    After killing a few hundred of them?

  8. Simple -- sell them the server on Ask Slashdot: Do I Give IT a Login On Our Dept. Server? · · Score: 1

    ..or have them set up a similar service.

    Less headache for you.

  9. The quiet, cooperative ones... on TSA Investigates... People Who Complain About TSA · · Score: 2

    ...who never cause any trouble: until they blow the place uP!

    That's how you can tell them from the Americans -- they always bitch.

  10. Anything DHS does, I don't want! on White House To Drop Details of Cyber ID On Tax Day · · Score: 0

    I still can't got over the way that name brings back echos of the Nazi term for Germany: "Home Land"

  11. In the US, there's nothing like Freedom. on China Calls Out US On Internet Freedom · · Score: 1

    Yes, and less every day....

    You know the rest of that story.

    'nuff said.

  14. How big a bomb for 345m radius? on Involuntary Geolocation To Within One Kilometer · · Score: 1

    I'm sure we have some that are non-nuke.

  15. I've always said there is nothing like freedom... on Appeals Court Affirms Warrantless Computer Searches · · Score: 1

    ...and that's more true every day.

  16. I cry for my government -- Drupal SUCKS! on FCC.gov: A Modern Open Platform · · Score: 1

    It is a very costly CMS.

    It has a very steep learning curve, and is minimally documented.

    And then it's slow.

    waste of $ even when free

    barf.

  17. Right. So let's make P2P sharing totally illegal! on P2P Music Downloads At All-Time Low · · Score: 1

    As well as fiddling with devices we own, selling our books, CDs, DVDs, iPads, and any other rights we might have over the products we purchase.

    Let's just stop pretending we own anything a corporation sells.

    I just makes problems and subtracts from the bottom line -- the greatest sin.

  18. Take that you hyperboliced terrorists! on New FBI System IDs People By Voice, Iris, More · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and all you protesters, picketers, political dissidents, usual suspects, and everybody else!

    We gotcha!

  19. All Hail Apple! on Why Paywalls Are Good, But NYT's Is Flawed · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There's a company who knows how to design cheap hardware, sell it a premium, and convince you to pay and pay and pay to use it!

    Jobs is brilliant!

  20. I feel slightly Ill... on Mini Drone Detects Breathing and Motion · · Score: 4, Funny

    My mammy always taught me it is impolite to kill somebody you have not been properly introduced to.

    Really, it can't be all that bad...

    ...this is the one for you!

  23. An electrical generator requiring outside power? on Further Updates On Post-Tsumami Japan · · Score: 1

    The thing makes power -- why can't it use its own power to run the pumps to keep it cool enough to work?

    I can see the need for outside power in a start-up mode. But after that you should be able to cut the umbilical cord.

    Would we be having this conversation (or this nuclear disaster) if it was self-powered?

    What am I missing or don't know?

  24. Re:Not very surprising. on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    Google believes in the "camel's nose" principle.

    [ i.e. let the camel's nose into the tent, and soon you'll have the entire camel.]

  25. Not very surprising. on Apple Handcuffs Web Apps On iPhone Home Screen · · Score: 1

    iPhone, iPad, iAnything are purely sales platforms for Apple.
    Don't expect Jobs to be in a hurry to fix this -- he doesn't think it's broken.
