  1. Re:problem on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 1

    We're talking about the Apple TV.

  2. Re:problem on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 1

    And YouTube, of course.

  3. Re:problem on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 1

    I'm in Canada. The only "other services" apart from iTunes are Netflix, Crackle and Crunchyroll.

  4. Re:Step 1: Kill Forced Bundling on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 1

    Apple already has pay-per-show iniTunes, but it's set at relatively high prices because it's pay-to-buy instead of pay-to-watch/rent.

  5. Re:Already done, and better. on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apple will not attempt to create a TV set top box [...]

    The Apple TV doesn't exist?

  6. Re:problem on Apple Said To Be Working On a Pay TV Service · · Score: 4, Informative

    I use my Apple TV for Netflix 95% of the time and other various non-Apple sources the last 4.95% of the time. The last 0.05% is using my Apple TV to watch movie trailers, that's the only Apple service I use.

  7. Re:Better hurry up and buy that patent on Smartphone Attachment Can Test For HIV In 15 Minutes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... in the U.S.A. but about 70$ in Canada.

  8. Re:a wasted effort. on The Algorithm That 'Sees' Beauty In Photographic Portraits · · Score: 0

    Nah, just search for catgirl and nekomimi and you'll be fine.

  9. Re:Marilyn Monroe could pull off a potato sack on The Algorithm That 'Sees' Beauty In Photographic Portraits · · Score: 1

    I'm not quite sure why, but I think for lunch I'll have an entree of potato soup followed by boiled potatoes, mashed potatoes, patatas bravas,
    roast potatoes, gnocchi, potato skins, latkes, hash browns, hasselback potatoes, home fries, oven fries, potatoes au gratin and baked potato with sides of tater tots, french fries and potato salad, finishing with potato chips for dessert.

  10. Reasonable royalty on Dept. of Justice Blesses IEEE Rules On Injunctions and Reasonability · · Score: 1

    The problem comes from "reasonable royalty". The price list should be set by the vendor and once set they shouldn't be able to change it depending on who wants to pay for it.

    You can't ask one million or 1$ per unit from company XYZ and then turn around and ask a company that is your competitor ten times the price "just because".

  11. Re:Why the fuck is there a video on Female-Run Companies Often do Better Than Male-Run Ones (Video) · · Score: 2

    Because there's two extremes on the Web: articles without any fucking photos and articles with videos that auto-play even though some of us don't want to waste our bandwidth to load a video we're not going to watch in the first place.

  12. Re:It's all about the incentive on Canada, Japan Cave On Copyright Term Extension In TPP · · Score: 1
  13. You just confessed to having a small dick and suffering from premature ejaculation. Congratulations!

  14. Re:this vs graphene. on One-Atom-Thick Silicene Transistors May Lead To Dramatically Faster Chips · · Score: 2

    But with the high cost of drugs, won't that make it even more expensive?

  15. Re:It is pathetic that this is being done in china on Alibaba Tests Drone Delivery Service In China · · Score: 1

    Fuck yeah! Ponies!

  16. Re:Missing Something on Alibaba Tests Drone Delivery Service In China · · Score: 2

    It doesn't land. It hovers and drops the package.

    It should drop the package from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  17. Re:Any guess as to why 450 tea deliveries? on Alibaba Tests Drone Delivery Service In China · · Score: 1

    Oh, they're going with a metric number of deliveries. Now that makes sense.

  18. Re:Wait, what? on Astronomers Find Vast Ring System Eclipsing a Distant Star · · Score: 1

    You must be new here.

  19. Re:My own cynicism about Apple is getting out of h on Apple To Build New $2 Billion Data Center In Bankrupted GT Advanced Buildings · · Score: 1, Insightful

    And because a lot of Slashdot readers blindly hate on Apple any chance they get, your informative comment will get moderated into oblivion.

  20. Re:Science... Yah! on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 1

    Magic, pills, voodoo, fad diets, resonant crystals, homeopathy... ANYTHING but having to exercise

    You're damn right! I don't want to exercise!

    ...self-restraint.

    Oh, okay then.

    Oh yeah? Well, IPU 42:10-4.

  22. Re:Speaking of display issues (OFFTOPIC) on Graphene Based Display Paves Way For Semi-Transparent Electronic Devices · · Score: 1

    A simple browser window resizing seems to give me 1192 pixels wide as the minimum required for this page.

  23. Mmm... chips... <noise="gargle">

  24. He-3 mining? on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    First of all, how do you "mine" Helium-3? Isn't it a gaz? That's like the old joke "How do you mine for fish?".

    Secondly, I think I saw that movie.

  25. Re:shame on RadioShack Near Deal To Sell Half of Its Stores, Close the Rest · · Score: 4, Informative

    If you buy cables at Walmart you're paying too much. They usually have a good selection at the dollar store.
