  1. Here's the secret on Apple Comes Clean, Admits To Doing Market Research · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And it's as anticlimactic as the cough syrup in Flaming Moes... they buy it because it has an Apple logo on it. The logo itself is a status symbol.

    -uso.

  2. Re:Reason? GNOME3 on GNOME: Staring Into the Abyss · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yeah... MATE is GNOME now, far as I'm concerned.

    -uso.

  3. This sounds awfully familiar. on Firefox OS Will Win Big With Developers - Mozilla · · Score: 1

    Firefox OS? Didn't Netscape try to do that with Communicator 4 and fail horribly?

    -uso.

  4. Re:They deserve it. on Pirate Bay Founder Fined For 'Continued Involvement' · · Score: 1

    "Intellectual property is neither"

    -uso.

  5. Re:Confusion reigns supreme on Georgia Apple Store Refuses To Sell iPad To Iranian-American Teen · · Score: 1

    It goes further where I am - they're not supposed to sell alcohol to anyone if there is a minor in the party (i.e., go in a store with your under-21 son or daughter, they're supposed to proof BOTH of you if you buy alcohol, and if EITHER of you is under 21 or lacks ID, they can't sell).

    -uso.

  6. Re:HTTP 451 on An HTTP Status Code For Censorship? · · Score: 2

    451. Allusions to a fairly well known novel about censorship. I like.

    -uso.

  7. Of course... on Rights Holders See Little Point Creating Legal Content Sources · · Score: 1

    Litigation is more profitable than content creation.

    -uso.

  8. Re:Oh come on... on The Shortage of Women In IT · · Score: 1

    There's ways. I have a 1.44 MB A: in my 5160, but it uses an AT multi i/o controller. (everything on it but the IDE port works.) It also has to boot 720, though 1.44 MB support can be added in software.

    -uso.

  9. Re:Autism is bullshit; No, only the AC is ... on CDC Reports 1 In 88 Children Now Affected With Autism In the US · · Score: 1

    I was actually overdisciplined to the point I actually have PTSD as a diagnosis. Don't lump every one of us in the same category.

    -uso.

  10. Re:First on Former Nokia Exec: Windows Phone Strategy Doomed · · Score: 2

    Pretty sure Nokia is a Finnish company...

    -uso.

  11. Re:Could make sense on Australia's Telstra Requires Fibre Customers To Use Copper Telephone · · Score: 1

    I bought one in September 2010...

    -uso.

  12. And on Sprint Orders All OEMs To Strip Carrier IQ From Their Phones · · Score: 1

    Does this also apply to their Virgin phones?

    -uso.

  13. Re:No-Brainer? on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 1

    You realize that the founding fathers stated directly that this was how they intended the first amendment's religion clause to be understood?

    -uso.

  14. Re:Far Left? Far Right? Just keep your mouth close on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 2

    If only.

    These days schools teach children to be bricks in the wall, not critical thinkers capable of making their own educated judgments.

    -uso.

  15. Re:So on Teacher Cannot Be Sued For Denying Creationism · · Score: 0

    Ugh. Serpent seed doctrine. Mostly the domain of Branhamites and the Christian Identity (white-supremacist) movement.

    -uso.

  16. FP? on Watch Out Linux, GNU Hurd Coming · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is the HURD even still relevant?

    -uso.

  17. Re:My only problem... on The Hidden Evil of the Microtransaction · · Score: 1

    Here it's usually flatrate for phone service. And if it weren't either flatrate like my landline or a large number of upfront minutes like my hellphone, I prolly wouldn't bother with it.

    -uso.

  18. Shysters all on RIAA Math: Sell 1 Million Albums, Still Owe $500k · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is why I say fuck the MAFIAA.

    -uso.

  19. Re:Doom? on Ask Slashdot: DOSBox, or DOS Box? · · Score: 1

    Heavy Sixer?

    -uso.

  20. Re:COME ON ICE CREAM!!! on New Chili Is World's Hottest · · Score: 1

    And in Australia it would be "chilli" instead of "chile", if I recall correctly.

    -uso.

  21. Re:And I thought Office 2010 was hard to use on Microsoft Shows Off Radical New UI, Could Be Used In Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    Agreed, and I have 7 words for M$ to ignore or follow at their discretion:

    IF IT AIN'T BROKE
    DON'T FIX IT

    -uso.

  22. Re:Special situations on Activists Seek Repeal of Ban On Incandescent Bulbs · · Score: 1

    I have a couple sockets where I *cannot* use CFLs (they're not supposed to be used on sockets with dimmers). I use 40W incandescents with them. Everywhere else it's 15W fluorescents.

    -uso.

  23. Re:Betting pool on Feds Help You Find Your Fastest Internet Service · · Score: 1

    And my definition is "fast enough to handle two full bitrate (18 Mbps) video feeds in both directions" (i.e., 40 Mbps either way)... which is something I don't anticipate seeing anytime soon. (4 Mbps/768 kbps.) :/

    -uso.

  24. Re:Not much to do on Ask Slashdot: Is There a War Against Small Mail Servers? · · Score: 1

    Maybe, maybe not. I have "high speed" (4 Mbps ADSL) through Verizon and it's static IP, though I pay out the arm for it.

    -uso.
