  1. Re:Would work on stored sound too on High-Tech Microphone Picks Voices From a Crowd · · Score: 1

    They already have. Unfortunately, Lucius Fox destroyed it.

  2. Re:the weekend on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    I was going to mod you funny, but that would encourage people to read the post you responded to. :\

  3. Re:More than enough reason for no business on Google Engineer Spied On Teen Users · · Score: 1

    But then anytime a user forgets their password, it can be reset, but they lose all previous data encrypted with the old password.

  4. Re:Hooray for freedom on HDCP Master Key Revealed · · Score: 1

    Think of it as paying for the ability to listen to the songs on any device you wish, at any time. That's what it should be.

    The format it is delivered through should not affect the price.

  5. Re:Stupid on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: 1

    Or it took this long to be found/reported, reviewed, and decided upon.

    I'm pretty sure Rackspace doesn't review material before it is allowed to be uploaded.

    Ah the memories. I know what I'm doing when I get home from work.

  7. Re:Crap like this on Lexmark Sues 24 Companies Over Toner-Cartridge Patents · · Score: 1

    Seriously though, once tablets are more or less ubiquitous in a professional office it will trickle down to the point where they're giving the ink away for free just to sell a printer again.

    One can dream, I suppose.

  8. Re:Creative Cheating on Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room · · Score: 1

    A spanking! A spanking! Yes, they could take them to the Castle Anthrax!

    Heh

    I read that as "Holy big spender Batman!"

  10. Re:Blizzard doged a bullet there... on Anti-Depressants Used Against StarCraft Addiction · · Score: 1

    I don't think they are just trying to stay ahead of the pharmaceutical company.

    It's more likely the SC2 devs needed the medication to finish it.

  12. Re:This will not stop best buy from have monster s on Calling Shenanigans On Super SATA's Claimed Audio Qualities · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I bought sub $5 ones from Newegg and just got as many as I could before the shipping cost went up (three). I've only had to open one.

    ... and direction marks to indicate correct direction for connecting cable (sound goes in direction of arrow).

    Okay, I can see how some might be duped by the rest of it, but this ?

    The sellers must be laughing uncontrollably all the to the bank.

  14. Re:Blizzard? on Blizzard Sues Private Server Company, Awarded $88M · · Score: 1

    I don't have a copy of the game on this computer, but it is pretty trivial to go to the WoW settings file and add a line that says you have agreed with the EULA which will prevent it from appearing when the game launches. Something along the lines of EULAaccepted=1 in a config file. (There's actually 2 agreements every time you patch, I don't remember what the other is.) I wonder if doing this would protect you from the terms of the EULA in a lawsuit like this.

  15. Re:I used to play on that one. on Blizzard Sues Private Server Company, Awarded $88M · · Score: 1

    Knowingly breaking the law will have consequences despite the fact that good might come from it or that you don't agree with the law.

    But hey, when did fear mongers and bigots let silly things like facts get in the way.

    Never. In fact, quite the opposite.

  17. Summary Typo on Study Says Your Personality Doesn't Change After 1st Grade · · Score: 0
    They summary left out a colon:

    our personalities stay pretty: the same from early childhood all the way through old age

    Either that, or the word "much".

  18. Re:Should we have a... on Hardware Hackers Reveal Apple's Charger Secrets · · Score: 1

    What I think (hope) the GP meant was "Should Apple be forced to disclose this information to everyone?"

    The Right to Repair that was linked is the bill that requires automobile manufacturers to give independent repair shops the same information that the dealer shops get.

  19. Re:Now we're doomed! on Jailbreaking iPhone Now Legal · · Score: 1

    You're wrist is sore from holding the iPhone the "right" way I hope?

  22. Re:I love the wording in the above translation. on Chile First To Approve Net Neutrality Law · · Score: 1

    My ISP does block port 80 (http), but I can still serve HTML on port 443 (https). But then you either have to pay for an SSL certificate, or sign it yourself and have your visitors deal with a warning until they store your cert permanently.

    Slashdot displays threads, not chronological posts. Higher is not necessarily earlier.

  24. Re:No, it's not clear. on Fring Calls Skype 'Cowards'; Skype Responds · · Score: 1

    Fring is the accuser, it is in their burden to prove what they are saying.

    You must not be from the US then right?
