  1. Re:Dat manager speak on Facebook Buying Oculus VR For $2 Billion · · Score: 3, Informative

    Orwell wrote about this in 1946: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P...

  2. Re:Seeking open source alternative on Who's On WhatsApp, and Why? · · Score: 1

    If a new app (Wazapp) can't provide high res screenshots on its homepage, then it's probably not offering the best deal in town.

  3. Did someone say beta? on QuakeNet: Government-Sponsored Attacks On IRC Networks · · Score: 1

    Yes, please fuck the beta.

  4. Re:Nice on Apple Fined In Taiwan For iPhone Price Fixing · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And exactly why shouldn't a company be allowed to decide how much its product should cost?

    It's not like Apple has a monopoly.

  5. Re:Sounds ready for abuse on Square Debuts New Email Payment System · · Score: 1

    And spoofed headers don't exist...

  6. Re:Graphics are the LEAST of BF3's problems on Under the Hood With Battlefield 4 · · Score: 1

    Squads are 5 people, not a HUGE increase from 4 that BF3 had.

  7. Re:Somewhat lacking in logic. on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    Penetration of computers/PCs is decreasing, in favour of tablets and Mac.

    We're at the tipping point.

    People want things to work, not tinker.

  8. Re:choice doesn't *require* bad defaults on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    So you're actually trying to imply that people buy phones based on the OS? And not on the price and features?

    Aren't around 99% of low price phones based on Android?

  9. Re:Has anyone done an assessment... on Belgium Plans Artificial Island To Store Wind Power · · Score: 1
  10. Why? on Google Fiber Draws Startups To Kansas City · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why do you need fiber to start your company?

    You're very unlikely to be allowed to run servers off of it and when has the biggest obstacle to a startup been "dang, i have to wait 5 seconds instead of 1 to download this massive thing"?

  11. Re:In all seriousness on Slashdot Coming Attractions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If something that is 2 days old doesn't count as news, then I don't read news.

    The people who want news the second it's released can go somewhere else, I'm here for the discussions.

  12. Re:Wishful Thinking on New Study Confirms Safety of GM Crops · · Score: 1

    The latest vaccine that was prompted in Finland (and Sweden) turned out to be not-so-good.

  13. Lark on Ask Slashdot: Best Tools To Aid When "On Call"? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you can reconfigure/hack Lark (http://www.lark.com/) in some way?

  14. Google Analytics on Google Switching to SSL By Default For Logged-In Users · · Score: 1

    Since Google accounts for 90% (or more) of the searches performed, what use is the keyword-part of Google Analytics?

    Or will they in some magical way make it work with GA, but no other tracking tool?

  15. Re:Still many accessories in a "post PC" world on Can Newegg Survive the Post-PC Future? · · Score: 1

    Magma is the company: http://magma.com/thunderbolt.asp

    It doesn't however state anything about video cards, but everyone (including God himself) hopes and wishes that it will be possible

  16. Re:A real problem? on Swedish Daycare Tracks Kids With GPS Devices · · Score: 2

    Malmö is the most crimeridden place is Sweden, which might explain this move

  17. Re:Gaming + laptop = contradiction on External Thunderbolt Graphics Card On Its Way · · Score: 1

    Most of the time my laptop moves between the office and my home. Once in a while, I want to play a game (or two) and for quite obvious reasons, I don't want a gaming rig (ugliness and space).

    I'd rather have a small device I connect between my laptop and my screen (external screen both at home and at work) for when I need to play.

    Point of a portable? Being able to use it as a portable computer MOST of the time.

  18. 6 disks, 6 awards on Six-Drive SATA III SSD Round-Up Shows Big Gains · · Score: 2

    Howcome all 6 disks got an award? Either "recommended" or "editors choice".

    Is that the only way to keep everyone happy, and the freebies coming?

  19. Re:Ahhh crime. on Man Ordered At Gunpoint To Hand Over Phone For Recording Cops · · Score: 1
  20. 100 MB? on Google Unveils Beta Chrome OS Notebook · · Score: 1

    "with Verizon Wireless providing cellular connectivity which comes with 100MB of free data per month for the first two years"

    Surely that can't be right. What can you do with 100 MB?

    Not even Verizon can be that cheap..

  21. Resident Evil 4 on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    The last game that I really dedicated time to was Resident Evil 4 (played on the GameCube).

    It was just a good game, that even managed to scare me more than once.

    Tried the previous RE and RE5, but they didn't do it for me.

  22. Competition Pro on Where Are the Joysticks For Retro Gaming? · · Score: 1
  23. Re:EU/UK vs. American Pricing on iPad UK Pricing Confirmed; Apple UK Tax Applied · · Score: 1

    It's just that governments have used built-in taxes to hide how much taxes are really on products.

    OR they do it so that it's much easier for the customer to know how much to pay when reaching the check-out.

    I HATE shopping in the US because you can never really know how much you'll end up paying until you reach the check-out.

  24. Re:Big F U to Adobe (and others) on iPhone OS 4.0 Brings Multitasking, Ad Framework For Apps · · Score: 1

    Or Corona (http://anscamobile.com/corona/)

    Was that really the intention of Apple, to get rid of all the "translators"? ie Lua -> ObjC

  25. My eyes on OpenShot Video Editor Reaches Version 1.0 · · Score: -1, Troll

    1999 called, they want their webdesign back.

    Seriously though, why spend all that time on a (fairly?) big project like an NLE and not spend a few hours at least to create a nicer website? Or ask someone to do it for him, if he lacks the skills.

    Simple website is ok, but not one with a design from 1999. I find it very difficult to take it seriously..
