  1. Very old news on You Can Navigate Between Any Two Websites In 19 Clicks Or Fewer · · Score: 2

    How is this news? The author has a book called Linked (published in 2002 and actually a very good book) that already mentioned, in chapter 3, that the degree of separation is 19 (18.59 to be exact). It's interesting that it has not changed in 11 years but it's certainly not news !!!!

  2. Re:IQeye on Is Cheap Video Surveillance Possible? · · Score: 1

    Sometimes I wonder why people even bother to send emails like this. "You NEED to move" ?!??! Do you realise that some people cannot afford to move ?

    And no, it is not only in the states. Many places in the UK (some council housing in London for example), France, Spain, Portugal, Italy, etc are incredibly unsafe. And not to mention Africa (South Africa is particularly scary).

    Maybe you live in Sweden or you live in a good area (like me) but don't realise that security is the major problem for many poor people.

  3. Re:Dear Land of the Free on EU Court Blocks Passenger Data Deal with U.S. · · Score: 1

    bullshit... elections for national governemtns are much more participated than for the EU parliemanet. So, the Council has much more political legitimacy (and accauntability) than the EU MEPs !!!

    ...still use pund sterling and not euros

  7. 4th Thursday of each month on Slashdot Effect, Live and In Person · · Score: 1

    I guess if 1st February (of a non-leap year) falls in a Thursday...no meeting that month

  8. Re:Double Resources on SETI's Anti-Cheating Strategy · · Score: 1

    an alternative is the guys from SETI dont say anything to the bad boy and just ignore their results

  9. Re:Than/then on Pure Optical Network Switches · · Score: 1

    I may be wrong but I think that the correct word here is "then" (after) an not "than" (used for comparison). But I am not a English native speaker...

  10. word editor != word processor on Linux Word Processor Showdown · · Score: 1
