  1. A president thinking about an OS? on ReactOS Presented To Russian President Putin · · Score: 2

    Unbelievable!
    Next step: a president taking decisions on programming patterns!
    Yeah!

  2. Re: Attention unemployed geeks! on Google+ Account Suspended? You Won't Find Out Why · · Score: 3, Funny

    I would publish all this golden info on your Google+ account, rather than SlashDot.

  3. I have an easy guess on Google+ Account Suspended? You Won't Find Out Why · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even Google has bugs!

    Can you write?
    These are good news, finally!

  5. Are they using email? on Missing Paperwork Delays UK Broadband · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's been something like 20+ years ago I've lost my last email.
    Because of a failing relay.
    Unless this paperwork is really worked on paper. In which case I can guess:
    - the envelope has been handed to the post office, but never left it;
    - they missed the proper stamp value on the envelope;
    - they missed the proper destination address on the envelope;
    - the envelope reached the destination but got handed to the wrong office which trashed it;
    - the paperwork has been written in English and sent to a German/French/Italian only speaking office;
    - the paperwork has been sent to Cowboy Neal;
    - all of the above at the same time.

    NO, they shouldn't.

  7. The funny part of HTML standard on HTML5 Splits Into Two Standards · · Score: 1

    is that HTML4 browsers implementation is being left behind because there's a new standard. But:
    1. HTML5 is not a standard at all. Not yet, at least.
    2. HTML5 is not a standard but possibly two or more.
    3. HTML4 sites and applications won't disappear overnight.

  8. I'm looking forward on Cray XK6 Supercomputer Used To Simulate Ice Cream · · Score: 1

    to know the high impact this study will have on the whole World!
    It's nice to have all those resources focused on making our world a better world!

    They finally saw the women are a little bit different from men.
    Next step?

  11. Scripting friendly smartphone OS? on Ask Slashdot: Scripting-Friendly Smartphones? · · Score: 1

    This would be the right question, in my humble opinion.

  12. We need to recall the password after 1 year or even 2.
    Please, go on with the tests!

  13. Sell it on Asking Slashdot: Converting an SUV Into an Hybrid Diesel-Electric? · · Score: 1

    It's easier, more effective and environmentally friendly than "converting".

  14. And you pay for them on Apple Gets the Importance of Packaging; Why Doesn't Google? · · Score: 1

    There is at least one thing Apple gets/sells that Google does not: boxes.

    You can bet that you are paying real gold for those pesky boxes. The fancier, the pricier.

  15. It's badly wrong! on The Web Is Not the Internet · · Score: 1

    getting the distinction wrong means you can inadvertently sound like a dummy

    If you make such a mistake, YOU ARE DEFINITELY A DUMMY!
    Or you have some serious psycho-linguistic disorder!

  16. Now way, mates! We are just background noise! on The Web Is Not the Internet · · Score: 2

    Internet is the WWW and vice versa. It's a fact and it's a matter of statistics.
    The fact that 0.001% (at best) of mankind knows the difference among DNS, IP, TCP, HTTP and HTML is irrelevant to the whole world.
    It's just one thousandth or, according to some source, just 2.6M persons. It's just background noise!
    Say it with me thrice: "Internet is the WW" ...

  17. With sound? on DARPA Creates Machine Which Extinguishes Fires With Sound · · Score: 0

    It's actually with air! Or, better, with pressure waves in the air.

  18. Re:Could? on UK Government To Offer Free TV Filters For 4G Interference · · Score: 1

    If the 4G harmonics can harm the TV broadcasts farther than a few meters away, then it means that 4G tx power is outrageously high!
    And the other way around, as well.

  19. Re:Could? on UK Government To Offer Free TV Filters For 4G Interference · · Score: 1

    That is, the UK Govt allows frequency allocation ranges to overlap?
    Then you're right.

  20. Could? on UK Government To Offer Free TV Filters For 4G Interference · · Score: 1, Funny

    Either it does or it doesn't.
    Unless the Govt doesn't even know the frequency bands involved into both the TV and the 4G.
    In which case ... the filter won't help!

  21. Simple answers on Why Were So Many "Crazy" Higgs Boson Stories Published? · · Score: 1

    1. it's the current buzzword
    2. it's cool
    3. it's (mostly) European stuff
    4. there's nothing more interesting at the moment

  22. Re:What has happened to my beloved English? on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 1

    English has been outsourced.

    to Martians. Even Italians can write it right.

  23. Re:Best OS ever on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 1

    ... a wonderful bag a bugs!

  24. What has happened to my beloved English? on Microsoft: Windows 8 To RTM In August · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Since when "RTM" has become a verb?
    Was it that difficult to write " Windows 8 will be Ready To Market the first week of August"? Or even "Windows 8 will be RTM the first week of August"?
    But, yeah! "To RTM" sounds much more ... techie!

    Please, mod this down to "-1: Offtopic" and not "-1 Off topic".
