  1. Re:Nokia can't even give away their product. on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 1

    Bullshit, as someone who lives in finland, i would say that there is still around 80% nokia.

    Only a very low percentage uses iphones, some samsungs etc are around, but most common are the nokia "featurephones"

  2. Re:Pot, kettle, black on North Korea Threatens South Korea Over Christmas Lights · · Score: 1

    Ehm, there is nothing even remotely close to socialism in north korea, or china for that matter.

    Northern european countries are socialist, with capitalist incentives.

    Nkorea is just a dictatorship.

    Sniffer dogs, and as a bonus, they're cute :D

  4. Re:I'm Skeptical Of The Usefulness on Upcoming Changes To 'Ask Slashdot' · · Score: 1

    It's always fun to see your stories rejected, only to have one of the editors post it under their name 2 days later.

    Or waiting more than a week with your question pending, by which time, the answers will be rather moot usually.

  5. Re:True for tablets, not computers on Apple's Secret Weapon To Influence Industry Pricing · · Score: 1

    Find me a laptop that has a big enough screen where that actually matters, at all?

  6. Re:We need a lot less handicapped spots... on Steve Jobs' Missing License Plate · · Score: 1

    Same, I'm a caretaker for a person with muscular dystropy, and since i drive his car and pick him up/drop him off a lot, I park in the handicapped spot those times. When I ocasionally do errants without him, i just use normal parking spots.

    It's as bad as those morons that use the handicapped toilet "because it was free".

  7. Re:Block on Facebook Is Building Shadow Profiles of Non-Users · · Score: 1

    Wrong, it's more like, yes my house is locked, but should i be forced to lock my dad's house, my neighbours house and my friend's houses, just to prevent my stuff from being stolen?

  8. Re:Leverage on Australian Court Blocks Sales of Samsung Galaxy Tablet · · Score: 1

    not sure either, apple didn't buy anything, it took nokia around 5 years to see any money for their patents.

    Afaik samsung never got anything yet for their 3g patents at all.

  9. Re:let the patent wars begin on Google Enlarges Warchest With 1023 IBM Patents · · Score: 1

    You've got to be joking or a troll.

    Apple entered the mobile market screaming to everyone how unfair it was that they had to actually pay something for all those real inventions others like nokia were having.
    They refused to cross license their "innovative" designs etc, sued everyone over those, while holding up real patentholders in any way they could, Nokia finally got something from apple after the iphone selling for over 3 years.

    And now apple happily turns around and does the exact same thing to the newcomer android, bunch of hypocrites

  10. Re:So? on Verizon Makes It Easy To Go Over Your Data Cap · · Score: 1

    What are these landlines you speak of?

    I haven't seen an actual real person with a landline that has been used for anything except maybe adsl in atleast 5 years.

  11. Re:And the sad part is... on Driver Using Two Cell Phones Gets Year-Long Driving Ban · · Score: 1

    because a lot of idiots don't think it causes impairement of their driving.
    It's easier to make an extra law that explicitely forbids it, just like alcohol and driving, so the 80% of people who did this will not do it anymore, leaving us with only the idiots who probally drive even after several alcoholic drinks and other dumb shit

    This is why copcars have a windshield camera.

  13. Re:This was proposed in Oregon on Dutch Government To Tax Drivers Based On Car Use · · Score: 1

    since most dutch people drive outside of the netherlands quite a bit, that would be impossible to use.

    It would be illegal to tax any km's driven outside of netherlands

  14. Re:It seems good on Reaction To Diablo 3's Always-Online Requirement · · Score: 1

    wow, all of 5 euro per month for a basic 3G connection 512/256k, horribly expensive that.

    If you are in a foreign country, how about shutting the damn laptop and actually seeing the place?

    -40C is extremely rare, unless you live in syberia.

    at -30ish we get occasionally in finland, it's nasty. But with wintercoolant/diesel and a blockheater it isn't much of an issue.
