  1. Re:Well.... on AT&T To Launch LTE Network In 5 Cities This Summer · · Score: 1

    That is correct and it is not 4G officially. Although, I believe LTE is the correct standard that can reach the specifications to be call 4G (If I remember correctly). So as long as LTE is developed further it will get that title officially.

  2. Re:Following Google to Stupidity on Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go · · Score: 0

    That is true, but Mozilla could add the ability to track users like chrome if they wish.

    Also i did not know about Electrolysis, but that sounds good. I hope it does not require FF5 to use as I alreadydislike how much they chromed FF4 to want to use the next more chrome like FF release.

  3. Re:Yes. on Are Streaming Media Players a Passing Fad · · Score: 0

    I remember something else that many experts claimed would be a passing fad. And they certainly seem to have been completely correct when they said it about the internet...

    It is, the next big thing will be chewin' on skunks.

  4. Re:Following Google to Stupidity on Mozilla Labs: the URL Bar Has To Go · · Score: 0

    Plus, whenever a stupid plugin freezes, it's the whole browser that freezes. In Chrome, just the tab.

    that is the only chrome feature I would use. I like the idea of just one tab freezing and not every tab I have open.

    I use FF because it is not Chrome...soon I might have to ether live with an outdated browser or learn to use Chrome...what would be the point of using FF over chrome if the are the same darn browser?

  5. Re:PDF slashdotted on Upscaling Retro 8-Bit Pixel Art To Vector Graphics · · Score: 0

    I was hoping to see more myself, but from the one example I have seen looks great. I have not idea what this will be used for yet, but hopfully they can find a good use for that.

  6. Re:Next we will all be required to be chipped on Mandatory Automotive Black Boxes May Be On the Way · · Score: 0

    I think AC meant riding over sidewalks.

  7. Re:Cue the cable company bashing in 3...2...1.... on Georgia Tech's ShaperProbe Detects ISP Traffic Manipulation · · Score: 0

    no, we just need to allow them to have competition and consumers more options the ISp's will have less room for BS if they were not 1 of maybe only 2 options for high speed internet.

  8. Re:Lol on Georgia Tech's ShaperProbe Detects ISP Traffic Manipulation · · Score: 0

    what was so funny?

  9. Re:Religions on Falun Gong Sues Cisco · · Score: 0

    It is a shame all religion can't be like that. Still I guess I am like that myself, just because i may not agree with somebody belief, but I accept it as long as it does not harm anybody else.

    Tho now I do want to know more about Buddhism.

  10. Re:In-App purchases on Apple Defends App Makers Against Lodsys · · Score: 0

    lol Sounds like fun...a lot more fun then a ladyboy

    tho Back on Topic: I was shocked to see apple taking this action It was the right one, but i did not think apple would care.

  11. What I don't get is on Poor Picture At Your Local Cinema? · · Score: 0

    why passwords and such are needed to change the lens and how was it set up like that?

    Tho I wish the article went into more detail about the issue also how to tell the difference between a movie being shown in 2D with a 3D lens and a just naturally dark source.

  12. great move there... on Rooted Devices Blocked From Android Movie Market · · Score: 0

    Remove an option for people with rooted phones to legally download movies. No wonder piracy is so common, at least they can get the content they want without jumping through hoops, well in this case it is just unlikeable restrictions. Still, That would be funny if it weren’t so sad.

  13. Irony on Warner Bros. Forced To Fight For Fair Use · · Score: 0

    it will be a pleasant twist when WB goes after somebody for a parody of their material and having this case thrown back in their faces :)

    Although, major studios believe that law only works one way...for them.

  14. Re:Damage Control on CDC Warns of Zombie Apocalypse · · Score: 0

    Even if that was true, it is better to have a plan then not to be ready in case the undead start to walk the earth.

  15. Re:Mayhem only begets mayhem on German Police Seize German Pirate Party Servers · · Score: 1

    I could not have said it better myself.

    It is such a shame when governments use any excuse to protect there bribe money...and you can't say the the RIAA and the MAFIAA and such are not giving lots of money to politicians who act for them in the government.

  16. Really? on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    I fail to understand why a light-bulb would need an IP address. I did RTFA and saw why the think it is a good idea, but really? I for one hope this does not become the only option for buying a light-bulb in a few years as I'd rather not spend the extra money for something I would not want to use.

  17. Interisting on Boot Linux In Your Browser · · Score: 0

    That is rather cool, but I'd rather not upgrade FF to v4. Although, now I have a reason to install Chrome :)

  18. So on Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Persistent Bacteria Go Down · · Score: -1

    Taking a can of soda with a medicine will help it work better? Glad I already did that :)

  19. Re:Seconded on Dropbox Accused of Lying About Security · · Score: -1

    The only thing I have on dropbox is a few backups from FEBE, so not really a big deal if they can see my plug ins and bookmarks...all of them are outdated anyways

  20. Re:Don't let One Distributor Control eBooks! on Amazon Removes Yaoi Manga Titles From Kindle Store · · Score: -1

    Must be nice. I can never find a copy of my books online (except for 1 time)

  21. Re:WTF is "Yaoi Manga?" on Amazon Removes Yaoi Manga Titles From Kindle Store · · Score: 0, Informative

    Strange as that is wrong

    "Stories focusing on sexual relationships between males, normally aimed at a female readership. May contain quite explicit sexual scenes. The more explicit titles tend to be shrink-wrapped." [http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Yaoi+manga&tbs=dfn:1&tbo=u&sa=X&ei=9IDPTZ2-L4mjtgf7hrX6DQ&ved=0CBYQkQ4] we may not like it, but some people do and it is no child porn so next excuse?

  22. It sucks on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: -1

    they used to make such great games, but it went downhill ever since they started making MMO's like FFXI (IMO). The sad thing is I bought a used copy of Final Fantasy 13 when I bought my PS3 back in Feb and still am not even more then 2-3 hours into it :(

    I wish they made games like they used to back in the Chrono triggers/Xenogears/Dragon Quest 8 days. When I honestly said I liked them.

  23. Where "SyFy" screwed up with SGU on Ask Slashdot: Is It Time For SyFy To Go Premium? · · Score: -1

    SGU had really, really bad script writing. It was not the budget that brought it down. It was the fact that I could not even force myself to like anybody on the new Stargate series.Also the plots were hohum at best never catching my interest as any other Stargate series did. There was so much possibility with being so far away from everything that was known it left them free to do whatever, but they never took advantage of any of it. I can 't speak for any other original series they had, but they most likely suffered the same problem as SGU.

  24. Re:MBA's . . . on The Stanford Class That Built Apps and Made Fortunes · · Score: 0

    LOL, the QOTD is "To invent, you need a good imagination and a pile of junk. -- Thomas Edison"

    I guess nowadays, they just need the pile of junk.

    no, they have good ideas...on how to market a pile of junk.

  25. Re:!Anonymous on Sony Officially Blames Anonymous For PSN Hack · · Score: 0

    No we didn't. Stop spreading misinformation about us, it only makes it harder for everyone to understand the phenomenon. The whole freaking point of Anonymous is that everyone can reasonably be assumed to take part in its activities, from your next-door neighbor to President Barack Obama. It is not a group, it is not a demographic: the membership is not well defined. Raiding a few flats and confiscating equipment used in a DDOS does not help to define Anonymous in practical terms: there is still no information about the identity of other members. A meaningful interpretation of the flooding of Sony's server by Anonymous is that they managed to really piss off a HUGE number of their own best customers. In all likelihood, entirely different people were responsible for other actions ascribed to Anonymous. Talking about some kind of group and implying any kind of continuity (either spatial or temporal) in its actions, and ascribing it desires and responsibility is simply misleading.

    I'm Anonymous Coward, and I approve this message.
