  1. Re:It adds up on Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE · · Score: 5, Informative

    Yes, only if all of them are just browsing the internet all the time.
    But if they are making real work, maybe the results would not be that good.

  2. Browser energy? on Microsoft Boasts of Tiny Energy Saving With IE · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'd like to know how can they tell whether the energy has been ate by the browser, the scheduler, the idle process or whatever else is in a Windows OS!!!
    And I bet that IE v1 (not v10) would eat much less power as it supports a tiny slice of HTML and other web related technologies.

  3. Stupidity rules on Ask Slashdot: How Best To Disconnect Remote Network Access? · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure whether it's more stupid to allow remote access to vendors or to let it make updates/upgrades on live systems.
    In my poor region we mandate a real test system on which any change needs to be challenged first along with rollback procedure.
    Only then we go for the real change.
    But we live in a poor region and cannot afford SEOs (Stupidity Executive Officers), only technicians are allowed.

  4. Why scientists don't stop it? on A Cold Look at Cold Fusion Claims: Why E-Cat Looks Like a Hoax · · Score: 1

    I wonder why. It looks like a hoax. It smells like a hoax and even tastes like a hoax. I personally think it is. But what about the scientific world? Why don't they publish and spread their official answer?

  5. Linux 3.2? on Debian 7.0 ("Wheezy") Released · · Score: 0

    They really mean they "upgraded" Debian kernel to v3.2 from January 2012?
    Ah!

  6. Re:His wheelchair uses my HOST file... apk on Prof. Stephen Hawking: Great Scientist, Bad Gambler · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I bet 1 BTC either YOU are a moron, or the /. guy who won't delete your post.

  7. It's OK on Prof. Stephen Hawking: Great Scientist, Bad Gambler · · Score: 3, Funny

    As long as it goes to science advancements!

  8. No way to see! on Ask Slashdot: How Can a Blind Singer 'See' the Choirmaster's Baton? · · Score: -1

    Maybe she can hear or feel. But no sight, no see.

  9. Scan for precurors? on Hatebase Tries To Scan For Precursors of Genocide In Language · · Score: 1

    So you could also scan for precursors of the next POTUS from twitter and facebook?
    Ah! I bet you won't!

  10. Re:What a stupid comment on CS Faculty and Students To Write a Creative Commons C++ Textbook · · Score: 1

    What a stupid stupid!
    Have you read the contents? Have you checked the quality?
    Only code examples are missing.
    That document is not just a (yet another) language reference.
    It's a real life course text.

  11. What a stupid idea on CS Faculty and Students To Write a Creative Commons C++ Textbook · · Score: 1

    When you already have a high quality one!

  12. Tobocco? on Digging Into the Legal Status of 3-D Printed Guns · · Score: 1

    It'd be a new type of weapon!

  13. Re:You only own everything you are able to unlock on We Should Be Allowed To Unlock Everything We Own · · Score: 5, Funny

    You insensitive, philosophical and right clod.

  14. As long as you really really OWN it! on We Should Be Allowed To Unlock Everything We Own · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sometimes reading the documentation with a "product purchase" can enlight you. The fact that you pay for something doesn't mean it's truly yours. Sometimes it means you are allowed to use it under some restrictions. It's called EULA. If you own an XBOX, an iPhone or a Wii, you'd already know about it!

  15. And you call it "mining"? on Moon Mining Race Under Way · · Score: 4, Insightful

    to land a robot on the moon and explore the surface by moving at least 500 meters and send high definition video back to Earth by 2015

    I would call it simply "sending a robot that moves on the moon".
    This "minig race" sounds more like a financial buzzword more than real technology breakthrough.

  16. Not in the short timeframe! on Can You Potty Train a Cow? · · Score: 1

    You can imagine why. It takes a lot of time with intelligent beings, aka toddlers. It will very likely take much more with cows.
    Maybe cow napkins can help, just like they use to do with horses involved in parades!

  17. Do you really really know what an Internet troll is?
    C'mon!

  18. It'd be very interesting on New Zealand Frontline Police Get Apple Devices in Efficiency Measure · · Score: 1, Troll

    in getting the details that lead to link "efficiency", "police" and "Apple products".

  19. SSH + TCP port forwarding on Ask Slashdot: Open Source Remote Application Access? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Read the friendly manual!

  20. Yes, sure! on Microsoft Blames PC Makers For Windows Failure · · Score: 1

    It's always someone else's fault.
    Childish! As usual!

  21. Top secret? on Secret UK Uranium Components Plant Closed Over Safety Fears · · Score: 1

    A top-secret plant at Aldermaston

    An uranium enriching plant is not something you can hide very easily, once you know where it is localed (more or less).
    I mean, unless you aim to enrich a few grams a year ...

  22. Liars! on MS Won't Release Study Disputing Munich's Linux-Switch Savings · · Score: 2

    That's clearly an excuse!
    At the best the study is not fake. HP just fooled MS around and they don't want everyone to know.
    At the worse, the claims by MS are false, the study is fake and they just got uncovered!

  23. Unsigned! on You've Got 25 Years Until UNIX Time Overflows · · Score: 3, Interesting

    32bit unsigned, not signed! What'd be the negative timestamps for? Ages before 1970?

  24. Incomplete work on FBI Responds To ACLU GPS Tracking Complaint · · Score: 1

    They left unblanked both the page numbers and the side notes.

  25. Basics of programming? on Learn Basic Programming So You Aren't At the Mercy of Programmers · · Score: 1

    Are you kidding?
    Modern programming, the real one I mean, requires you to understand algorithms, complexity, system architectures and even compiler bugs.
    If you don't want to be at the mercy of "programmers", you need to be a real programmer yourself!
