  1. Re:Hmm, i can see wikipedia just fine with noscrip on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    Same here, but it was more like you used No-Script to block the 'personal appeals' and blocked WikiMedia like I did, thus preventing a blackout of Wikipedia. Check your No-Script permissions.

  2. We should be recreating our most popular effect.. on Ask Slashdot: What Can You Do About SOPA and PIPA? · · Score: 1

    By slashdotting Congress.

  3. Re:So, why isn't Slahdot on Wikipedia Still Set For Full Blackout Wednesday · · Score: 1

    Fair enough, but wouldn't the world notice if a day went by where no sites got slashdotted?

  4. So, why isn't Slahdot on Wikipedia Still Set For Full Blackout Wednesday · · Score: 2

    Joining in on this effort?

  5. Re:If it isn't very much like us.. on Should Science Rethink the Definition of "Life"? · · Score: 1

    Going the universal language of mathematics route?

  6. If it isn't very much like us.. on Should Science Rethink the Definition of "Life"? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Why would we care? We have a hard enough time communicating and getting along with those beings who we share 99.9999% of the same DNA with. Imagine trying to talk to some blob of silicon that is trying to say hello with ionizing radiation.

  7. Re:Do you realize how awful that is? on Nanosensors Could Help Reduce Laboratory Animal Testing · · Score: 1

    So the cosmetic was an easy target for that kind of rebuttal, but it would be elementary to not automatically recognize all the things that are NOT superficial(in your opinion)where the stakes are much higher than personal appearance i.e. cancer drugs, antivirals, antibiotics, etc. Check the elevation of animals to the value of humans at the door please.

  8. Re:scam on Makers Keep Flogging 3D TV, Viewers Keep Shrugging · · Score: 2

    If it is having 'deep market penetration' as you say, it has got to be because you can't seem to buy a new quality tv today that doesn't have 3d capabilities in it.

  9. How many kids in schools? on Orangutans To Skype Between Zoos With iPads · · Score: 1

    Could have an iPad of their very own if we weren't funding this waste of a program to find out once again that orangutans are not as smart as humans.

  10. Re:Also on Ebert: I'll Tell You Why Movie Revenue Is Dropping · · Score: 1

    This is not meant in a general sense; but instead shows us there is no new source of happiness which can be devised, but rather that the same round of petty pleasures, cares, business, study, wars, machinations, etc., just gets repeated over and over again

  11. The boycott worked on Wikipedia To Dump GoDaddy Over SOPA · · Score: 1

    GoDaddy stopped it's support of SOPA, why are companies still walking away? If GoDaddy is now on board to fight against SOPA, then aren't they going to need a customer base a reason to fight?

    Ecclesiastes 1:10 Is there anything of which one can say, "Look! This is something new"? It was here already, long ago; it was here before our time

  14. Re:So the better question IMHO on Did Microsoft Make Google Pay Triple Rate To Mozilla? · · Score: 1

    I use Firefox as my primary browser on every site that allows me too, while falling back to the others when a site overwhelmingly prefers one of them. I use Nightly for everything until it crashes and then resort to the beta. I like Firefox for its functionality and the filtering of the web that its add-ons allow i.e. NoScript that the others don't. I'm just always surprised at the amount of money that gets tossed around these days, and my ignorance on the matter can't grasp what it could possibly be spent on considering my family of five subsists on about 25k a year. I often forget how much of a 'necessity tax' gets put on things that companies have to have to operate, and the people selling said things know it while charging for the privilege.

    Ditto.

  16. So the better question IMHO on Did Microsoft Make Google Pay Triple Rate To Mozilla? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is why Firefox doesn't have all it's problems worked out with an operating budget of at least 100 million dollars a year, one would hope that with an additional 200 million dollars a year, they will really start making heads turn towards, and not away from, their product.

    I think it has been said, and demonstrated, that there is no such thing as bad publicity.

  19. Re:The one you ONLY buy in print with cash on Ask Slashdot: Geek-Centric Magazines Still Published On Paper? · · Score: 1

    Granted, it's not the Hidden Wiki, or something on the darknet, but still a nice read with some anti-establishment reverse engineering friendly information in it, and we were only talking about print, so we're all a little limited.

    Your local newspaper is regulated by law to check it's sources and it's facts before printing.

    Um, gamers need to turn off sticky keys, and have learned to do so after a few times getting their application focus changed to a message saying "You have just turned on sticky keys by pressing * key 5 times, would you like to learn more?" --bite me stupid worthless function, you just cost me the game.

  23. Good and evil on Apple Buys Israeli Flash Manufacturer · · Score: -1, Troll

    Apple has joined a list of other companies that have actively engaged with Israel's economy by purchasing an electronics company there for 500 million dollars, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu even remarking about the deal stating, "Welcome to Israel, Apple Inc. on your first acquisition here. I'm certain that you'll benefit from the fruit of the Israeli knowledge." Israeli apartheid gets yet another boost, this time from an apple, where there will be knowledge gained by this act. Anyone else see the irony?

    One of the sweetest things I ever picked up was the titanium bicycle frame that had just a clear coat on it, let you see the metal striations and all the welds in their raw form, with no filler to smooth any of it out, the flexible, rigid strength was visible.
