  1. Re:Fraud and sneakery on Scotland Votes No To Independence · · Score: 2

    The whole theory behind it being 'rigged' was some numpty seeing a pile of ballot papers on a table marked 'No' on Sky News when you could see they said 'Yes' and jumping to conclusions. The yes campaign in Dundee (where the video was taken) even went on twitter to clear it up, but the tin foil hat brigade are having none of it: https://twitter.com/YesDundee/...

  2. Re:When do the conspiracy theories start rolling o on Scotland Votes No To Independence · · Score: 1

    The conspiracy theorists have already started with their claims of vote rigging.

  3. Re:Customer service? on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 1

    I doubt that would matter as she was the representative of the company as far as the customer was concerned.

  4. It's only fair she lose her job over this. What exactly would the police have done though I'm curious to know?

  5. Re:youtube compression negates it on Can You Tell the Difference? 4K Galaxy Note 3 vs. Canon 5D Mark III Video · · Score: 1

    Maybe not, but higher quality input gives a better chance of higher quality output. Even if only marginally better.

  6. I have a Note 3 and while the video quality is pretty good, the low light photography (as in anything not perfectly lit) is shockingly bad.

  7. Re:Fear leads to Hate, Hate leads to Measles on Fifteen Years After Autism Panic, a Plague of Measles Erupts · · Score: 1

    It doesn't help when you get conflicting information from seeing different Doctors. My wife is getting treatment for a partially paralysed vocal chord and depending on which Doctor she speaks to she get's wildly varying opinion on the cause and how to deal with it.

  8. Re:Would you ride in one? on Jetstream Retrofit Illustrates How Close Modern Planes Are To UAVs · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yes, they could choose another airline that keeps pilots as a marketing ploy.

  9. Re:Glass??? on Don't Panic, But We've Passed Peak Apple (and Google, and Facebook) · · Score: 1

    I still can't believe they did away with the XServe.

  10. Re:Solution on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 2

    Because 2 billion would be even better?

  11. Re: where is the bluray? on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    I believe the main reason for people wanting access to GoT (and others) immediately is due to the fact that the longer it takes to release them the greater the chances are that they will see spoilers. s03e09 is a prime example of this.

  12. Re:dumb on Sharing HBO Go Accounts Could Result In Prison · · Score: 1

    That is how Spotify and Steam both handle the situation. You can obviously switch to offline mode and use locally cached content still though.

  13. Project Management on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Prove an IT Manager Is Incompetent? · · Score: 1

    Don't you have project managers to manage projects? Head of IT in corporate would not normally project manage (unless the IT department isn't very big).

  14. I'll probably watch it but.. on World of Warcraft Film Shooting Begins Early 2014 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    .. it's at least 5 years too late

  15. Re:Seems counter-intuitive on Thousands of Whistle Blowers Vulnerable After Anonymous Hacks SAPS · · Score: 2

    I will be very surprised if there aren't deaths directly as a result of this.

  16. Re:Haha, let them. on New Prenda Law Shell Corp Threatening to Tell Your Neighbors You Pirated Porn · · Score: 1

    haha

  17. Re:10GB Free, Wow! on Using YouTube For File Storage · · Score: 1

    create a few dropbox accounts, piss easy

  18. Maybe next time on Boston Police Chief: Facial Recognition Tech Didn't Help Find Bombing Suspects · · Score: 1

    .. use Google Picasa :D

  19. Re:Hmmm on Testers Say IE 11 Can Impersonate Firefox Via User Agent String · · Score: 1

    The main culprits I've seen which do this are telephone system providers (Mitel/iPecs etc).

    The issue being that people are very touchy about updating telephony software, primarily following the old adage, "if it ain't broke don't fix it".

  20. Re:What word is translated "Pornography"? on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 0

    This is easily fixed by making access to porn an opt-in option with your ISP.
    br It already happens with mobile internet providers and works well.

  21. Re:Get yourself a copy of Winplit Revolution on Ask Slashdot: Monitor Setup For Programmers · · Score: 1

    What constitutes a real OS then? Or are you just trolling?

  22. Get yourself a copy of Winplit Revolution on Ask Slashdot: Monitor Setup For Programmers · · Score: 1

    Makes working with a large screen and multiple windows so much nicer.

  23. Re:Less demand on Hard Drive Revenue About To Take a Double-Digit Dip · · Score: 1, Informative

    In comparison with what PC hardware used to cost, they are extremely cheap at the moment.

    My first PC in 1992 cost me £1400.

  24. Re:Looks like the pilot still has to sit in the pl on Iran Unveils Its Own Stealth Fighter Jet, the Qaher F-313 · · Score: 1
