  1. Re:Oy on VC Likens Google Bus Backlash To Nazi Rampage · · Score: 1

    Nope, the german "Ausbildung" is a real education. You spend half your time at the job, half your time in school.

  2. My top 5 on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 1

    1. XKCD (obviously)
    2. Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
    3. ChannelATE
    4. Bug
    5. Nedroid

    You might also like The Perry Bible Fellowship, Basic Instructions and The Doghouse Diaries. The web is a wonderful place :-)

  4. Might be a hardware problem on Ask Slashdot: Holding ISPs Accountable For Contracted DSL Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    You should contact your ISP and have them check the line.

    Dramatic speed decreases in the evening might indicate a damaged cable. There may be a fine gap in the wire which widens when the temperatures falls in the evening.

    I couldn't agree more.

  6. Re:Nazis on German Ban On Doom Finally Lifted · · Score: 1

    You do realize that Doom has been "banned" in Germany the same way alcohol is "banned" in the US?

  7. Re:Everywhere except Germany on Samsung Tablet Ban Lifted For Most of EU · · Score: 1

    This is not true. Laws differ throughout the EU. A good may be legal in one country but not in another. For example you're allowed to buy marihuana in the Netherlands, but not in Germany.

  8. Gist of the article on The Enterprise Is Wrong, Not Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Browser version numbers are completely irrelevant. It's new features or changing behavior which is causing problems for Enterprises because they require a complete regression test of all internal web tools (in theory at least).

    So even if FF5 would have been called FF4.0.1.1 the new features (CSS animations, more HTML5 support, various internal changes) would mandate a thorough regression test. You can't blindly roll out a new browser version just because the version number was incremented by 0.0.1 instead of 1.

    Btw the FF3.6 branch received more than security fixes, e.g. changes to the way plugins are executed. The new version numbering simply highlights the faulty Enterprise processes.

    Now, if Enterprises would simply code against standards there'd be much less problems in migrating...

  9. Re:The question remains: WHY? on Practical "Smell-o-Vision" System Being Developed · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Of course not EVERY smell, but this could become a nice stylistic device to increase immersion.

    Just imagine a scene in a forest or at the ocean where you can actually smell the wet earth or the salt. Done right, this would be much more exciting than that 3D thing...
