  1. Is it okay if on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your Favorite Web Comic of 2012? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I just answer everything with Homestuck?

  2. Personally on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 1

    What if Broadwell is JUST for tablets/thin laptops/etc. and they introduce an updated Haswell the year after its original release?

  3. Re:http://leaverou.github.com/prefixfree/ - Fixed. on Microsoft Complains That WebKit Breaks Web Standards · · Score: 1

    http://leaverou.github.com/prefixfree/

    Break free from CSS prefix hell! Only 2KB gzipped -prefix-free lets you use only unprefixed CSS properties everywhere. It works behind the scenes, adding the current browser’s prefix to any CSS code, only when it’s needed.

    Now why hasn't MS discovered this.

  4. Just move to Saskatchewan on The Coming Internet Video Crash · · Score: 1

    SaskTel has unlimited data on all plans for high-speed. Only problem is that its still over copper/fibre to the node, and they've only just begun rolling out fibre to the home in select areas now. Until you get switched to it, you can't get any higher than a certain speed tier without dropping their IPTV service from the bundle (however, their IPTV service is pretty good; its based off the same hardware as AT&T U-verse)

  5. The benefit? on A Suicide Goes Viral On the Internet · · Score: 1

    The benefit is that it gives us proof that Fox News is constantly making dumb editorial decisions. They are performing a public service, mainly because people enjoy watching the mass media goof up, especially if it involves Fox News.

  6. Re:Next on FOX: Open source is now a crime on Linux Forcibly Installed On Congressman's Computer In Act of Terrorism · · Score: 1

    What kind of stupid reporting is this, to make a suggestion that this is (1) open source is a movement, which (2) commits acts of terrorism and (3) will occur more often? The suggestion sounds awfully rhetorical, and will probably be picked up by some retarded right wing news agency.

    First of all, the guy had everything backed up. No damage done, just some inconvenience.

    Secondly, America is not a democracy - they just claim to be one, just like Iran. So attacking a US politician is certainly not an attack on democracy itself.

    And remember that one teacher who said there is no such thing as free software? She's right, you know /sarcasm

  7. Great job... on With 'Access Codes,' Textbook Pricing More Complicated Than Ever · · Score: 1

    You know, this seems to be the common solution to the "used book sales are worse than Piracy, how can we stop it?" problem. Even the video game industry has been pulling off this stupidity with their fixation on online passes lately. Nice job, bureaucratic commercial money-hogging idiots.

  8. Well on PAX Prime: An Extra Day In 2013, and Plans For Australia · · Score: 1

    Now that it's legal to sell good video games in Australlia, I guess this type of pan-pacific expansion is a good thing.

  9. Re:Speaking of those precious pixels on a handset on Former Xerox PARC Researcher: Windows 8 Is a Cognitive Burden · · Score: 3, Informative

    Why waste a quarter of them with a stupid huge black bar running down the full length of the homescreen, making it look all lop-sided and amateur? Are we supposed, like, dig this as the trendy new way forward?

    Actually, Windows Phone 7.8 and 8 is supposed to get rid of that.

  10. Well since its open source now on GNOME Developers Lay Out Plans for GNOME OS · · Score: 1

    Can we just make CDE the dominant *nix desktop again like the good ol' days? I'd rather have that over GNOME 3

  11. Re:Just a random thought on Apple Yanks Privacy App From the App Store · · Score: 1

    Well, this appears to be quite similar to the type of permission stuff we see in Android, except more. If Apple is always trying to one-up them, this is a logical progression

  12. Just a random thought on Apple Yanks Privacy App From the App Store · · Score: 1

    Has anyone considered that Apple might be pulling a Siri here and acquiring it?

  13. Well on San Francisco To Stop Buying Apple Computers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Environmentally superior = You don't have to repair it (cause you can't)! Just buy a new one!

  14. It doesn't matter to me... on Apple Forces Google To Degrade Android Features · · Score: 1

    Because my carrier, for some reason, hasn't put out ANY of the Galaxy Nexus updates at all. Why does this yakju/yakjux BS even exist I wonder?

  15. Re:Shumway? on Mozilla's Open Source Project Shumway To Translate SWF To HTML5 · · Score: 1

    My first thought.

    Hosse hosse hosse from here to Kandahar!

  16. Re:lawsuit on Axis, Yahoo's New Browser · · Score: 1

    You're wrong, it's going to be Abstergo suing. Either that, or Yahoo got secretly taken over by Templars. That'll explain it.

  17. Personally on Wikipedia Mobile Apps Switch To OpenStreetMap · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I think this is more of an ideological move. Google Maps is not free content like Wikipedia itself. OpenStreetMap however, shares many of the same values as Wikipedia itself; such as its use of an environment that encourages contribution by others, the use of licensing that encourages the sharing and rebuilding of content instead of forbidding it, and so on.

  18. The truth on Canadian Telcos Lobby Against Pick-and-Pay TV · · Score: 1

    They won't allow a la carte because it'll save consumers too much, since they're realizing that all these new "channels" these companies offer nowadays are just showing the exact same shows as another one but in a different order.

  19. Meanwhile in Arizona... on Supreme Court Approves Strip Searches For Any Arrestable Offense · · Score: 1

    We need to do a search, we got a warrant on you for harassing people using an electronic device.

  20. Re:TV? on All Video Games Cause Aggressive Behavior, Say Two US Congressmen · · Score: 1

    They do ... in Canada. i.e. Most broadcasters require viewer discretion warnings in order to warn viewers that the show they're watching is of American origin and is very good.

  21. Re:You know what this calls for? on Pinkie Pie Earns $60K At Pwn2Own With Three Chromium 0-Day Exploits · · Score: 1

    A party isn't a party without a little Apple Jack Daniels.

    Hay bacon strips. Hay bacon strips. Hay bacon strips. Hay bacon strips. Hay bacon strips.

  22. You know what this calls for? on Pinkie Pie Earns $60K At Pwn2Own With Three Chromium 0-Day Exploits · · Score: 5, Funny

    A PARTY!!! (sorry bronies, couldn't resist)

  23. Part of me wonders... on 7-inch Google Tablet Coming From ASUS · · Score: 1

    Are they going to make it part of the Nexus series? Lemme see... Nexus Slate? Nexus Tab?

  24. I look at all this on School District Sued By ACLU Over Student's Free Speech Rights · · Score: 1

    In Canada, I've never really had to experience some of these blatant violations of privacy. No school I've went to has attempted to extrude information like that in this matter, no theatre I've gone to has required me to have a TSA examination before I watch a movie, and so on and so on. Please, unless it directly harms the students (like, if you said on Facebook that you were going to burn down the school, that's obviously cause for concern), keep our personal lives out of this.

  25. Though its not all bad... on UK Anti-Piracy Law Survives Court Challenge · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The European Court of Justice also recently declared that soccer match schedules can't be copyrighted because they're not creative enough, completely going against British case law which suggests that the amount of effort and labour is the factor to something can be copyrighted or not. Of course, the U.S. already rejected that idea. But does this matter? Yes. Because even under this regime, your site won't get wiped off the face of the earth for daring to mention who's playing games this Saturday.
