  1. Re:A couple simple rules on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Stay Fit At Work? · · Score: 1

    Yeah I'm sure you're the epitome of healthiness with a soup-only diet. There's a difference between staying fit and losing weight.

  2. The game still has its flaws on Blizzard Has a Version of Diablo 3 Running On Consoles · · Score: 1

    I hope it's a rather small subset of their employees that are exploring this console thing. The game needs a lot of work to be even close to its full potential, and I would think their time would be much better spent working towards that.

  3. Re:What we need is a modular and hackable approach on The Coming Wave of In-Dash Auto System Obsolescence · · Score: 1

    You also have a choice to not buy a car. If it's important enough to you, make the dash system one of the deciding factors when choosing a car.

  4. Re:Like Apple? on Bill Gates Talks Windows Future, Touch Interfaces · · Score: 1

    You're giving reasons other than luck for all of those things, though. Luck has nothing to do with them. Timing, maybe? Or some kind of knowledge? Not luck.

  5. Re:Like Apple? on Bill Gates Talks Windows Future, Touch Interfaces · · Score: 1

    #1 and #2 aren't luck. They're just the way things happened. "Could haves" don't imply luck at all.

  6. Re:Do what with daily records? on Texas Schools Using Electronic Chips To Track Students; Parents In Uproar · · Score: 1

    Replace 'to' with 'towards'. I think that's the meaning they're trying to convey.

  7. Re:Take it one step further on Scientists Store Entire Textbook In DNA · · Score: 1

    What's it like to have knowledge that you don't understand? That concept doesn't make sense to me.

  8. Re:Getting... colder on First Mummies May Have Been Inspired by Field of Corpses · · Score: 2

    First Mummies being a more contemporary, popular band. Everyone loves their music, thinks they're so original, pioneers, etc. Then we discover they were actually inspired by Field of Corpses?! Oh gosh!

  9. Re:Yet another part of the world getting pissed of on New State-Sponsored Malware "Gauss" Making the Rounds · · Score: 1

    I made that mistake verbally in 4th grade when I didn't really know what the word meant. There was a kid in our class from Lebanon. We were talking about how you can tell where a person is from by the shape of their skull or something, so we were all shouting out different nationalities. I shouted "Lesbian!" Haunts me to this day.

  10. Re:But he's and IT Expert! on How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led To Mat Honan's Identity Theft · · Score: 1

    Maybe he thought that if you ignore it long enough, eventually the problem just goes away.

  11. Re:Multifactor Authentication on How Apple and Amazon Security Flaws Led To Mat Honan's Identity Theft · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I won't take my security advice from him, but there's no need to discredit his entire body of work because of this. Surely he deals in other topics.

  12. What's stopping you? on Craigslist Demands Exclusivity For Postings · · Score: 1

    What's stopping you from changing up your advertisement a bit on different websites? You put up a specific advertisement that they own the rights to? So change a few words, leave some details out, add some different details. No problem. You'd probably end up doing that anyway to cater to the specific medium you're advertising on.
