  1. Just create INTERNETv3 on Google Warns Against UN Net Conference · · Score: 1

    "The Internet interprets censorship as damage and routes around it." -- John Gilmore

  2. Should have run on OpenBSD on Two FreeBSD Project Servers Hacked · · Score: 1

    "Only two remote holes in the default install, in a heck of a long time!"

  3. Re:My god, slashdot editors are retarded on Leak Hints Windows 8 Tablets May Be Dearer Than Makes Sense · · Score: 1

    Do see how the article compares this tablet to another tablet from the same manufacturer with the same specs but running Android instead of Windows RT? How else do you explain the price difference?

  4. MS Still doesn't get it... on Leak Hints Windows 8 Tablets May Be Dearer Than Makes Sense · · Score: 2

    The price difference is probably in the MS software license. IIRC, the OEM license cost for Windows CE in the late 90s was $50. I imagine Windows RT is around $100.

    Compare that with Google who pays YOU to run Android.

  5. J. K. Rowling on Ask Slashdot: Most Underappreciated Sci-Fi Writer? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Going for a downvote record!

  6. Yelp? on Three Arrests In China Over Baidu Post-Deleting Services · · Score: 1

    So if Yelp were Chinese they'd be arrested?

  7. The Journal of American Ponzi Schemes on Journal Offers Flat Fee For 'All You Can Publish' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If they don't get a constant source of new authors, they can not sustain the model...

  8. Re:Even More Curiously on Patent Suit Targets Every Touch-based Apple Product · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Or they have been negotiating with Apple for 5 years to take out a license. Most of those negotiations are in secret since most end with an NDA.

  9. I KNOW!! on Ask Slashdot: How To Feed Africa? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    How about we let the Africans decide! What a CONCEPT! Self determination!

  10. You know what else store CC numbers in cleartext? on Google Wallet Stores Card Data In Plain Text · · Score: 4, Insightful

    My credit card.

    I'm going to steal someone's phone to get their credit card number? Why not take their wallet?

  11. Re:What? on Original Star Wars Camera Sells For $625,000 · · Score: 1

    ...an obsolete one, at that...

  12. IN case anyone has trouble... on Researchers Build First Molybdenite Microchip · · Score: 1

    It's Moe-lib-den-ite.

  13. tot he researchers? on Proteins Build "Cages" Around Bacteria · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Some kind of Vietnamese lab?

  14. No deflection? on Asteroid Passes Closer To Earth Than the Moon on Nov 8 · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it is too small, but what I do not see in the animation is a new deflection in the orbit with this close fly-by to the earth and moon. What will the new orbit be after the flyby?

  15. Try Google. on Polymer Gel Shows Promise For Smaller, Cheaper Batteries · · Score: 2

    Different polymer. The Li-ion Polymers used today are the "solid" batteries the article refers to (as opposed to Liquid Li-ion). A quick Google search would have answered that for you.

  16. Reason? on First Thunderbolt Peripherals Arrive To Market · · Score: 0

    So what is the technical reason for putting the logic into the cable? None? Purely financial? Ok, I will wait for IBM's new 50GB/s interconnect.

  17. It's a BMW 7 series on Tesla Will Discontinue the Roadster · · Score: 1

    If you can buy a BMW 7 series, you can buy a Tesla. Target market.

  18. Re:amusingly on EFF Co-founder Faces Copyright Heavyweights At EG8 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Perhaps this is why Cory Doctorow refused to speak. The contract he had to sign was too draconian to make a difference, and he assumed (correctly?) that they would just censor him from the record.

  19. Still no cure for time_t... on Fedora 16 Will Number UIDs From 1000 · · Score: 0

    Wake me when we fix something really important.

  20. Re:Is it so hard... on Algorithm Glitch Voids Outcome of US Green Card Lottery · · Score: 2

    Probably not the problem... I imagine there are further requirements regarding percentages of people from certain countries, gender requirements, etc. I would guess it was the weighting that was at fault, not the randomness.

  21. Glitch on Algorithm Glitch Voids Outcome of US Green Card Lottery · · Score: 4, Funny

    Bob Slydell: So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.
    Bill Lumbergh: Great.
    Dom Portwood: So, uh, Milton has been let go?
    Bob Slydell: Well, just a second there, professor. We, uh, we fixed the *glitch*. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it'll just work itself out naturally.
    Bob Porter: We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem is solved from your end.

  22. Correlation / Causation on How Gaming Can Save the World · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Here we go again! Did game playing really prevent PTSD or are people who play games less susceptible to PTSD?

  23. Some state workers are on the road all the time on Jerry Brown Confiscates 48,000 Cell Phones · · Score: 0

    What about them? Should they be forced to go back to the office to make and receive calls? What about the extra mileage? What if the office doesn't have a landline (some don't!) It's not like they can find a pay phone somewhere.

  24. Isomer? on Stable Roentgenium Claimed Found In Gold · · Score: 0

    ...he has found a stable isomer of roentgenium in nature.

    You mean isotope?

  25. Wait, you have ASTC TVs? on Sidestepping A-to-D Convertors For Town Government's Cable TV? · · Score: 1

    Isn't digital cable ASTC compatible if it is not encrypted?
