  1. Re: May be it should say on YouTube Ordered To Remove "Illegal" Copyright Blocking Notices · · Score: 1

    Just slide-show the actual court order instead of the video.

  2. Re:Spinit. on How Astronauts Took the Most Important Photo In Space History · · Score: 1

    There's a slight difference between "amateur hobbyist" and "privately funded company".

  3. Re:Was it advertised as free? on Thousands of Germans Threatened With €250 Fines For Streaming Porn · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Use an ad blocker, kids.

  4. Re:Representative benchmarks? on Speed Test 2: Comparing C++ Compilers On WIndows · · Score: 1

    You build race cars, we build family sedans, mmkay?

  5. Re:really? on Single-Atom Layer of Tin May Be a New Wonder Conductor · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bzzzt! wrong. If I trust you, I will verify your work. If I don't trust you, I won't even bother to look at it.

    Trust is about honesty, not about infallibility.

  6. Re:Nothing left to do on Lavabit Case Unsealed: FBI Demands Companies Secretly Turn Over Crypto Keys · · Score: 1

    I thought it was a limerick.

  7. Re:Why yes! on Dead Drops P2P File Sharing Spreads Around Globe · · Score: 1

    How do you know it's a storage device? Because it looks like one? Could it be a programmable HID perhaps?

    I think the last OS with autorun enabled by default was Windows XP.

  8. Bye-bye, GNOME. on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    It was fun while it lasted.

  9. It is harder than you think. on Ask Slashdot: Do Most Programmers Understand the English Language? · · Score: 2

    printf("Copied %n file%s\n", n_files, n_files > 1 ? "s" : "");

    There are languages with more than two grammatical numbers. There are languages that use different word order with different numbers. You need to redesign your simple and easy printf statement to accommodate them, and the outcome is bound to be anything but simple and easy.

  10. 27 what? on Magellan Telescope First Mega-Mirror Polished and Ready · · Score: 1

    How much is this in bushels per acre?

  11. Re:Ok Mr Cretin on Lawsuit Challenges New York Sugary Drink Ban · · Score: 1

    50g? Ridiculous. Start with 1/10th of that.

  12. Re:Silliness on Lawsuit Challenges New York Sugary Drink Ban · · Score: 3, Informative

    Both Coca-Cola and Pepsi do make real cane sugar drinks. You just need to know where and when to look for them.

  13. Re:Opera singer ? on Singer Reportedly Outbids NASA for Space Tourist's Seat · · Score: 1

    Just because something is popular doesn't mean it is wrong.

    Not sure about causation, but correlation is here.

  14. Re:Ice "may" be there on Simulation Using LRO Data Shows More Locations With Ice on the Moon · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1 km altitude? Sure, that will work. Just need to tell the engineers that whoever crashes the satellite into a mountain, pays for it out of his own pocket.

    Ice is white... when not covered by dust.

  15. Re:M666 DESKTOP, LINUX, ANTI-PERSONNEL on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Fix the Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Mod parent up, now.

  16. Re:It's not broken. on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Fix the Linux Desktop? · · Score: 1

    Ein Desktop, ein Distro, ein Operatingsystem!

    If you want that, you know where to find it.

  17. Re:It's always been possible on New Flat Lens Focuses Without Distortion · · Score: 1

    This is not possible with just a lens, regardless of construction. Howewer, look up 'plenoptic camera' (does this with any regular lens, and a special sensor, sacrificing resolution).

  18. Re:Sounds like win-win to me! on Man Orders TV On Amazon, Gets Shipped Assault Rifle · · Score: 1

    "Assault rifle" is a term made up by politicians

    Or rather by one particular politician, named Adolf Hitler.

  19. Re:Sun is the same way on Is Pluto a Binary Planet? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Well, it does radiate more energy than it gets from the Sun...

  20. Re:without the knowledge of the site visitor on Some Hotspot Operators Secretly Intercept, Insert Ads In Web Pages · · Score: 1

    "my ISP serves me their self-signed cert instead of Slashdot's real one."

    You see a page/popup that says "this certificate is bogus, somebody is fooling around with your connection". From that point on, if you decide to proceed to the site, you are your own worst enemy.

  21. Re:Aehm (Re:The hack doesn't work for me.) on Websites Can Detect What Chrome Extensions You've Installed · · Score: 1

    Oh well. Back to the built-in JS blocker, then. Or rather use both built-in blocker and NotScript together.

  22. The hack doesn't work for me. on Websites Can Detect What Chrome Extensions You've Installed · · Score: 2

    Doesn't list anything, even if I enable Javascript for its site in NotScripts (yet another reason to install this little lifesaver).

  23. Re:Fine. on A Better Way To Program · · Score: 2

    So nuclear reactors are out. Can you program a firewall this way? What about an airline ticket reservation system? A compiler, maybe? A web browser?

    His design is very good for instant unit testing, which is fine and dandy and I'm all for it.

  24. Fine. on A Better Way To Program · · Score: 2

    Now go program me a nuclear reactor control system with this.

  25. What was stolen? on Verisign Admits Company Was Hacked In 2010, Not Sure What Was Stolen · · Score: 5, Funny

    The letter "i", apparently.
