  1. You know what sport any kid is best at? on DNA Test To Determine Kids' Sports Futures · · Score: 1

    The one they enjoy.

    Sure they might be better suited for another sport, but anyone will always exceed and try harder at the one they actually want to play.

  2. Re:That's what happens. on Messaging Apps, VoIP Already Eating Into Carrier Revenue · · Score: 1

    Because, you know, it's IMPOSSIBLE for more than one person to have the same thought.

  3. That's what happens. on Messaging Apps, VoIP Already Eating Into Carrier Revenue · · Score: 2

    You gouge the prices to unreasonable levels (especially on a sub-par service), people are going to find a way around paying.

  4. Re:I hate apple, but? on Apple Addresses Factory Pollution In China · · Score: 2

    Welcome to slashdot, where every article regarding apple is charged either heavily for/against them, depending on the editor.

  5. Re:What I want to know... on Google Music Goes Live With Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    Amazon also takes 15%, which i still think is a bit high, but it sure beats Apple's (and now Google's) 30%.

  6. What bugs me about EULAs... on EULAs Don't Have To Suck · · Score: 1

    ...and the reason i stopped reading them is because there is NOTHING you can do about it if you disagree outside not using the program.
    Say you don't like a clause in it and call up the company? You're just going to get laughed at and have them hang up.
    Not to mention the only person who really even knows what's in it is the lawyer they hired.

  7. Re:What I want to know... on Google Music Goes Live With Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    It has nothing to do with me, I have minimal musical talent.
    If they take a reasonable percent, I'll use their service instead of doing what i do now: Torrent the album and throw the artist the full price.
    I do believe that hosting services deserve some credit, but 30% is far too much in my opinion.

  8. Re:Wow...oh, wait. Nevermind on Energy Firm Wants To Be First To Mine the Moon · · Score: 1

    $1,200,000 Campaign Goal

    ....ahahahahahaha.

  9. *eyeroll* on Recreating a Mysterious, 2,100-Year-Old Clock · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it can't take pictures, tweet or connect to your Facebook.

    Because THAT'S what's important in a watch.

  10. I got into an arguement with someone about this on Occupy Flash? · · Score: 1

    I promptly started to ignore him when he stated that "most all mobile devices don't even support flash! Even Android doesn't support it!"

  11. You mean the ISPs lied to congress? on Net Neutrality and Carrier Incentives To Invest · · Score: 4, Funny

    I, for one, am totally shocked.
    Shocked I tell you.

  12. What I want to know... on Google Music Goes Live With Google+ Integration · · Score: 1

    ...is what % of sales does Google take from the artists?
    Since learning Apple takes a whopping 30%, I've refused to do business with them.

  13. No. on Has Apple Made Programmers Cool? · · Score: 1

    It was my understanding that the popularization of gaming is what made programmers "cool".

  14. Be honest. on Apple's New Patent Weapon — Location Services · · Score: 1

    Patents aren't just offensive weapons; they're defensive weapons as well.

    When's the last time you heard of Apple using patents for anything other than stifling competition?
    They've made their position very clear at this point, they'd rather sue than produce a product that actually has a competitive edge.

  15. Re:This might shock you, but... on TSA Puts Off Safety Study of X-ray Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    Right now it's neither.
    And I sure as hell don't feel safe going through a cancer machine, especially when my family has such a bad history of it.

  16. This might shock you, but... on TSA Puts Off Safety Study of X-ray Body Scanners · · Score: 2

    ...There is such a thing as a middle ground.
    These body scanners are on one end, having nothing is the other. I'd prefer something in the middle.

  17. Re:$500,000? on Romanian Accused of Breaking Into NASA · · Score: 1

    Hah! That's some pretty expensive porn.

  18. Re:/. is an empty shell of what it once was. on Research Promises Drastically Increased LiOn Capacity · · Score: -1, Troll

    I stopped coming on /. for news a long time ago, as did most people.
    There's a reason the "news for nerds" sign was taken down.

  19. Re:Which reminds me... on CarrierIQ: Most Phones Ship With "Rootkit" · · Score: 1

    Which is more than I could find last i looked, the only thing i could find before was terribly made user mods released in forums, and often in the same thread many users reported them not working. Thanks for the link. I'll be messing it more after work.

  20. Which reminds me... on CarrierIQ: Most Phones Ship With "Rootkit" · · Score: 0

    ...I need to root my phone and install a mod onto it.
    Here's hoping there's a stable mod for the Incredible 2, because last time I looked they were all pretty flakey.

  21. Re:$500,000? on Romanian Accused of Breaking Into NASA · · Score: 1

    Not in the slightest. I was questioning the number, not his punishment.

  22. Hey guys, don't tell PETA, but... on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 1

    1. Mario gets that suit from a magical leaf.
    2. Mario's been fucking up animals left and right for years. Murdering turtles, abusing dinosaurs, the guy is a madman, where the hell have they been?

  23. They already know. on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 2

    An image that comes to mind was some chick in a cage with spots painted on her skin, holding a sign that says "I'm a sexual deviant"

  24. $500,000? on Romanian Accused of Breaking Into NASA · · Score: 2

    This number bothers me, and I find it hard to believe.
    Even more so because TFA doesn't ever mention /what/ it was he did.
    Sure, he broke in, but what did he do with that access?
    Delete files? Rename them? Rearrange them? Simply just shut the servers down? Perhaps a virus or two?
    All I can think of that should be possible remotely would just cause an IT admin a headache for a few hours while he fixed the damages.
    Unless he found the "self destruct" button, and now NASA is without any equipment.

  25. Re:Hm... on DOJ: Violating a Site's ToS Is a Crime · · Score: 1
