  1. Sausages? on Indian School Textbook Says Meat-Eaters Lie and Commit Sex Crimes · · Score: 1

    Did Hitler like fish sticks?

  2. Re:Apple accepts GPL code in iOS app store on The Empire In Decline? · · Score: 1

    I don't think you could submit GPLv3 since you can't provide a way to install it.

  3. Re:Humor on Researchers Crown Buddhist Monk the World's Happiest Man · · Score: 1

    Actually, when trying to force it, my brain produces a level of gamma waves — those linked to consciousness, attention, learning and memory — never before reported in neuroscience!

  4. Looks interesting... on KDE Plasma Active: the Mobile Interface That Works · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Looking at the video it has some interesting concepts to make it more usable on touch devices, but to some point they still rely in rather small buttons that are hard to touch.
    It also seems very slow but it might be a debug version.

  5. They should deport all... on Cringley: H-1B Visa Abuse Limits Wages and Steals US Jobs · · Score: 1

    Non Native Americans.

    It's interesting to see how a country can forget its own history...

  6. In response on Wired Proclaims the Death of the Game Console · · Score: 1

    The game console said it doesn't comment on zombie's claims.

  7. Re:For great justice... maybe? on Teen Suicide Tormentor Outed By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    I understand your point, but I never thought of anonymous like that, for me anonymous could be a different set of people every time. A set of people that are trying to expose their beliefs and if enough people agree with them, they will generate momentum. If the traditional media decides to publicize any action done by an individual that calls himself anonymous without any real internet momentum, you should interpret that differently, because it's either uninformed journalism or an attempt to blacken the image of the anonymous movements.

  8. Re:I never expected my iPad to run OSX application on Windows RT vs. Windows 8 Could Burn Consumers · · Score: 1

    The same thing happens on Android, there are many apps that are only available for certain Android versions and hardware specs, and they call it all android. People will buy the device and the buy whatever software it is available to them, or if they want some specific software they will inform themselves if it can run on the device. It wasn't that many years ago that you would buy a "Windows" computer and you wouldn't be able to run the latest games because you didn't have a modern graphics card or a new version of the operating system.

  9. And they probably payed for them... on NetFlix Caught Stealing DivX Subtitles From Finnish Pirates · · Score: 1

    Like most companies they probably sub-hire the work to other company, which then sub-hires a translator, and that's who probably copied them. So netflix probably payed for them...

  10. They didn't steal anything... on NetFlix Caught Stealing DivX Subtitles From Finnish Pirates · · Score: 1

    they just copied them.

  11. Re:I never expected my iPad to run OSX application on Windows RT vs. Windows 8 Could Burn Consumers · · Score: 1

    Most of the iOS applications designed for the iPad dont work on the iPhone...

  12. Re:That's it? on Google's Engineers Are Well Paid, Not Just Well Fed · · Score: 1

    Maybe with the right grammar... :p

  13. Re:For great justice... maybe? on Teen Suicide Tormentor Outed By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    You should interpret the information provided by anonymous the same way you should interpret any information from any other media source.
    That is, you know what drives them, you know their mindset, you know their previous biases, and you should balance it accordingly.

  14. Re:Microsoft Office: Incompatibility is a feature! on Why Eric Schmidt Is Wrong About Microsoft Not Mattering Anymore · · Score: 1

    Last time I installed MS Office it asked it I wanted to use open standard formats or the proprietary format.

    but then it was:
    Slackware > Suse > debian > ubuntu > mint > arch

    tho I still use debian in a server

  17. As an atheist... on Pakistan's PM Demands International Blasphemy Laws From UN · · Score: 1

    Sarcasm is the default mode for Slashdot that's why the tags are stripped out.

  20. Re:Apple First on EU Investigating Microsoft Over IE Bundling Again · · Score: 1

    Apple has the monopoly on tablet devices.

  21. Re:Plaintext passwords again? on Nearly Half a Million Yahoo Passwords Leaked [Updated] · · Score: 1

    Considering there were passwords from multiple services it were probably passwords for service integration.
    They still shouldn't store those tho, they should use OAuth and just store the session.

  22. Re:What about ladyboys? on Google Launches International Campaign For Recognition of Same-Sex Marriage · · Score: 1

    I'm sure people will complaint they don't want to be labeled by a chromosome!

    TBO they should just drop the gender on documents, there are women ugly and flat enough to look like a man and there are are man with big enough man boobs and long hair to look like a woman...

  23. Re:Nice on Used Software Can Be Sold, Says EU Court of Justice · · Score: 1

    Did you RTFA? That's exactly what they ruled. The developer has to give permission to download and give support to the new owner.

  24. Re:Well of Course on Used Software Can Be Sold, Says EU Court of Justice · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true.
    Software devalues over time, gets outdated, and loses compatibility it the most recent operating systems.

    Not that clever, Blizzard will ban the account if they find out it has been sold.
