  1. Re:Official Chrome Extension by YouTube does the s on YouTube-MP3 Ripper Creator Takes On Google · · Score: 1

    The green check mark next to the website name is missing. It means it is not verified, or the app for some reason does not include the signature of "youtube.com". For an example of an app that is signed by Youtube.com - check here

    Why would I buy any device that supports Cinavia? A solution that can be expected only from non-ACs.

    PS: I am not the anon GP. I just thought this post requires a response, and I know am not posting AC.

    ICANN would be more than happy to resolve domain name disputes. I really doubt that the domain name is the issue.

    Even if it was his money, I have the right to criticize him for using it for evil, rather than good. Note I said criticize, and not outlaw using money for evil or anything. Just criticize (freedom of speech).

    He wishes its his money, but it is the foundation's money. He only manages it. There are plenty of wealthy people and small organizations (some of which I have donate to) that donate to his foundation. So, yeah, it is not his money.

  6. Re:Foundations are tax shields on A Critical Examination of Bill Gates' Philanthropic Record · · Score: 1

    Nope, Big Pharma has plenty of competition from generic drug manufactures. The reason the foundation goes with Big Pharma, is because they like to enforce Drug Patents in pour countries and make themselves some money through Big Pharma's donations.

    There are apps that would do that for you (I use LBE). I agree though, this should available by default.

    I imagine their shareholders would be happier too.

    Tech companies either innovate or litigate. If Nokia is going to act like SCO and become a serial lawsuit filer they can go away.

    I would imagine shareholders would be happy if Nokia does well in both markets - high-end innovative stuff and cheap previous generation crap. But thats just me, I guess. And I would be unhappy if Nokia starts acting like SCO too. Fortunately, it is not. Nokia has tons of valid FRAND patents, that is really the bread and butter of the industry.

    Reading comprehension is important, you should work on it. I have one of the best Android phones on the market the Galaxy S2 (Sprint Epic Touch version).

    I took it as you dont remember your last nokia phone, because most of the stuff they make is crap. It is only natural to assume that you dont remember your phone because it was crap. Hence my comment. If you did not mean that, you should work on your writing.

    And I said MOST of Nokia's phones are shit. And they are. For every one decent phone Nokia builds they make ten pieces of crap aimed at the pay-as-you-go no contracts market.

    Ahh, so your problem is they make cheap crap. And you would be happy if they stopped making cheap crap that some people apparently buy, and they only sell high end stuff. Mmm, interesting.

    My phone has a micro-HDMI port. I play movies at hotels and friends place directly from my phone. And yeah I dont really bother to transcode to shitty resolution, since I will be watching it on large screens anyways.

    Just because you bought low end crap doesnt mean Nokia does not make quality phone. I love my N9, and I wish they would make more like it.

    True, but only technically. There are always real cops around TSA agents. All the TSA agent has to do is point at you (well, with some reason of course), and the cops would arrest you. Assaulting a TSA agent would not be considered assaulting a police office, and similar charges dont apply when dealing with TSA. Everything else though, is the same.

    You only had to look at the link to know this very much legitimate research.
     
      Even if it was not, for Gods sake dont try to redefine the word. I hope some journalist does not pick this up and start using it as definition of 'researchers'. Just call them researchers, and you can use an adjective to describe them as what ever kind of researchers you think they are.

  17. Re:And worse on Prototype Clickjacking Rootkit Developed For Android · · Score: 1

    It all makes sense, when you realize Slashdot is made of more than one person. There are people on slashdot who are not happy with malware on Windows and advocate more of a walled garden, and then there are people who believe in freedom to install malware if they wanted to. So you have more than one set of people, moderating at different points of time, carrying different opinions at different strengths. And thus you have, what you call, hypocrisy in slashdot, when all individuals are perfectly non-hypocritical.

    Actually bad example, I will select one mp3. Click sort by filetype (There should be keyboard shortcut for this, does anyone know). Use shift-click to select to select all mp3. Ctrl X. F4. G: Ctrl V. So in all two clicks and four keyboard actions. I would probably win.

    If there are enough signals around you and you have enough users (who report all signals they see, so as to get their location), you can always update your database on the go (just like Google does right now).

    I agree there needs to be a better way, but the menu (and/or a keyboard shortcut) still needs to be available. If I am helping someone on the phone, I find keyboard shortcuts invaluable. If I were to describe some button on a ribbon, I would be completely screwed.

  25. Re:He's right. on Has the Command Line Outstayed Its Welcome? · · Score: 1

    A serious problem in linux is that frequently you have to go to the command line to do a lot of things. You should NEVER have to go to command line.

    I recently set my new laptop a month now and I never had to use the command line. Could you share some instance where you had to?

    But linux especially needs to offer the GUI as the primary interface for EVERYTHING.

    Isnt it already the primary interface? Even people on the Ubuntu forum give instructions assuming you are not a fan of terminal and would prefer GUI.
