  1. So Siri started speaking in a weird, high-pitched voice ?

  2. Re:"... might not encompass all of the characters" on Amazon (and Netflix) Pursue a 'Lord of The Rings' TV Series (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Nope, though we might see some dwarf-tossing again. (sigh)

  3. My mom always told me... on Heathrow Airport Security Files Found on USB Stick In The Street (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    not to plug usb-sticks-found-in-the-street into my computer.

  4. MS Paint Album Covers on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1
  5. Re:NO! on Microsoft Paint To Be Killed Off After 32 Years (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    MSPaint is useful for the same reason that vi is useful in the *nix world; you know it's already installed and how it will basically behave.

    I know vi is a powerful tool, but I had no idea one could edit pictures with it.

  6. "obnoxious and unhelpful..." on YouTube To Discontinue Video Annotations Because They Never Worked On Mobile (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm surprised no one at Google ever managed to get annotations to work on mobiles. Still, they found a workaround to port these "obnoxious and unhelpful" additions to mobile platforms... Sidenote : logged in users can disable notifications display in their youtube settings.

  7. Would be useless if... on Opera Developer Comes With Address Bar Speculative Prerenderer Feature (opera.com) · · Score: 2

    people only knew about bookmarks. How often do I see someone type 'google' in the google search bar, click 'google' in the google search results and then type 'facebook' once on a new google page...

  8. Re:2016: The Year of Linux on the Desktop on Microsoft, Google, Apple Could Be Requested To Actively Block Pirated Downloads, Says Report (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Quite possible, but I'm afraid many will just turn off updates or even revert to outdated systems. The year of win xp on the desktop maybe ?

  9. Le's launch another change.org petition... on Suicide Squad Fans Petition To Shut Down Rotten Tomatoes Over Negative Reviews (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    against brain damaged change.org petitions. Quite depressing to think how loads of far more pertinent petitions never gathered 13,000 signatures...

  10. A (mysoginistic) friend of mine used to say... on Multitasking Drains Your Brain's Energy Reserves, Researchers Say (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    "My wife says men are unable to do two things at the same time, but that's not true. Whatever I'm doing, I have to be listening to her at the same time."

  11. No more annoyment then ? on Windows 10 Anniversary Update To Roll Out On August 2 · · Score: 1

    So does that mean that after 08/02 windows will stop buggering me to upgrade to W10 ? If so, this is good news -- especially when you're running some *nix system !

  12. i'll just smoke one on Hiring Smokers Banned In South Florida City · · Score: 1

    and ponder this article

  13. .secure on ICANN Reveals New TLD Application List · · Score: 1

    i should have tried to buy '.you-are-the-1,000,000th-visitor'

  14. he was talking about people who really like feet on Richard Stallman Falls Ill At Conference · · Score: 0

    but people kicking their kids in the butts get regarded as bestial, don't they ?

  15. Re:Go Sarko on French Elections Could Affect HADOPI, ACTA · · Score: 4, Informative

    > Sarkozy is the guy that ordered the woman in charge of budget cuts to downsize her own team He is also the one who increased the president's salary by 50 %. A month after he got elected. Nice, ain't it?

  16. "Imagine this happening in the U.S." on 1.9 Billion Digits: Brazil's Bid For Biometric Voting · · Score: 1

    Or anywhere else, for instance.

  17. French slashdotters filtered ???? on France Bans Facebook and Twitter From Radio and TV · · Score: 1

    I posted that very same news to Slashdot about a week ago (created an account on purpose) but it wasn't published at the time. Is this due to my being French and posting from France or what ? Well, my opinion is it's a good thing. The media should just go : "react on our social network accounts.' Or perhaps they ought to set up IRC channels :-O No hard feelings, though...
