  1. Re:Sure, if it includes EVERYBODY on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 1

    I can imagine some Egyptian secret police sitting around saying the same thing. If all crime is detected and punished then we might agree to change a few laws to keep the good guys on the streets.

    I would absolutely be in jail if I someone could watch me 24/7 for my whole life. Anyone who I irritated slightly once could make it happen.

  2. And they would know that you watched them shower on Scott Adams Says Plenty Would Choose Life In Noprivacyville · · Score: 1

    But is that a drawback or not? I don't know. I'm having trouble imagining it. I like the idea that it would kill patents though.

  3. Re:Yeah seriously, WTF??? on Drupal 8 Development Begins — 15 Bugs At a Time · · Score: 1

    Maybe there should be more WordPress [*ack* *ack*] stories?

    So there are a lot more Drupal advocates on /. why? Drupal is harder than than WP so when I don't feel up to battling with my Drupal module code I come here. I might come here after just installing a few module upgrades for a rest and to drum up some new business. Drupal is more work for the same result so it gets more attention.

  4. A better way to speed it up on Drupal 8 Development Begins — 15 Bugs At a Time · · Score: 1

    If Dries were to promise that Drupal 8 will be faster and leaner than Drupal 6 and 7 then I'm sure a lot of people would pitch in to get it out the door earlier.

    If there are 15 critical bugs already and somebody finds a new bug in the existing code what happens then? Do they stop accepting bug reports?

  5. Re:There are two sorts of PHP developers on Drupal Competes As a Framework, Unofficially · · Score: 1

    How was this insightful? Knowing that every other thing out there cannot compete is impossible so all php coders are the second kind but I'm not fuming and I code php so the statement is false. Frameworks are useful for speeding up dull tasks - the dullest of all in the php world being any kind of workflow involving forms and user management. Drupal is somewhat ok for this. Drupal is also ok for building a website that will pass WAI tests and be somewhat user manageable without the coder being able to code php at all. Down the road Drupal is a goldmine for the shops building sites with it because you have to take it offline and replace all the code to update it many times every year, that alone would explain all the promotion it gets here, plus of course drupal site admins have time to post here while waiting for pages to load.

  6. Re:The moral of the story on Musician Jailed Over Prank YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    They are thinking that you should take your daughter to the mens bathroom rather than the womens. Easy mistake to make and the rule is not entirely self evident.

  7. Microsoft needed this on Nokia and Microsoft Make Smartphone Alliance · · Score: 1

    I like my android phone, my linux servers and my windows desktop. If this means that a lot of microsoft developers feel a bit safer knowing that the risk of their platform withering away in some mobile future is a bit lower then I'm in favour. For the same price and hardware I would take a windows phone over a symbian phone so where is the harm to Nokia?

  8. Re:Micorsoft has to accomodate stupidity on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    She calls you for help rather than solving it herself? You have a stupid wife and you picked her so you are stupid and probably gave your wife's boss a blank CD.

  9. Re:Sony will be annoyed on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    If they did that it would slow my illiterate youngsters down. Might make them better at their letters though.

  10. Re:Should have never been there. on Microsoft Kills AutoRun In Windows · · Score: 1

    I have kids 5 and 7 and they like to play games. Spore is their current favorite but they have played their way thought all the Lego titles. They don't speak english or read english. Without autorun I have to spend a bit more time getting their games installed and running. With autorun they can often manage by themselves so I think autorun has a place. DRM is worse, malware wise, because kids download nocd hacks without understanding the risks.

  11. The story is not credible on Spam Text Prematurely Blows Up Suicide Bomber · · Score: 1

    Investigator: "A text message was sent to the dead woman around the time the bomb went off and so we conclude that this text alone detonated the bomb".

  12. I sense a patent possiblillty here on Physicists Call For Alien Messaging Protocol · · Score: 1

    More reliable method for the delivery of prayer to god:
    1. take prayer
    1.1. censor unworthy content
    2. sign with personal key of the faithful
    3. add content length and encoding header
    4. beam into space at regular intervals in all ways you can think of

  13. Re:Politics on Openleaks Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Your argument is wrong. The wikileaks opinion was required to counter the unreliable official commentary. Were they not cowardly killings in that video?

  14. I like the home page but not the rest.. on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1
    Good:
    • homepage is easier to read
    • nothing else

    Bad:

    • fixed floating boxes that I never use at the top and to the left of all content. Let there be an option to remove these from stories.
    • pages never finish loading on android (2.2 zte blade). Notable is that the floats are ok in this browser
    • truncated replies in grey boxes on stories with only 10 comments, surely ./ could use some logic here?
    • no options to remove the floats!
