  1. Re:BBC is stuck in the dark ages on New Cargo Ship Is 488 Meters Long · · Score: 1

    You want to bet the video is already in H.264?

  2. Re:Not a cargo ship on New Cargo Ship Is 488 Meters Long · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, is it going to go there on its own power or will it have to be towed? If it can go there by itself, then it's a ship.

  3. BBC is stuck in the dark ages on New Cargo Ship Is 488 Meters Long · · Score: 1

    "You need to install Flash Player to play this content."

    Is this 2004?

  4. Re:This should be tested out... on Sony Leaks Reveal Hollywood Is Trying To Break DNS · · Score: 1

    Could be a fun idea if enough companies with their own DNS servers would redirect MPAA.org to a parody website instead.

  5. Re:Tired of this shit on Virtual Reality Experiment Wants To Put White People In Black Bodies · · Score: 1

    It's more like "the more you talk about wounds, the more you create".

  6. Re:Tired of this shit on Virtual Reality Experiment Wants To Put White People In Black Bodies · · Score: 1

    The more we talk about races and differences, the more we keep racism alive.

    I'm reminded of this South Park episode.

  7. Re:It has been done. on Virtual Reality Experiment Wants To Put White People In Black Bodies · · Score: 1

    And Michael Jackson did the opposite.

  8. Re:Yes this is Terrible. on Apple Wins iTunes DRM Case · · Score: 3, Informative

    Steve Jobs himself was anti-DRM (on music, at least): http://readwrite.com/2007/02/0...

    It's a shame the original page isn't even on Apple's own website anymore.

  9. Re:Doubts about performance on Skype Unveils Preview of Live English-To-Spanish Translator · · Score: 1

    Slang makes it hard for real people to communicate with each other. Ex: UK vs USA vs Canada vs Australia, France vs Québec, etc. I can't imagine a machine doing better, at least for a few decades.

  10. How about International? on Denmark Makes Claim To North Pole, Based On Undersea Geography · · Score: 1

    We have International waters and an International space station, why not declare the North Pole as being International land? Just get all the Arctic countries to sign up on that and we're good to go.

  11. Re:Doubts about performance on Skype Unveils Preview of Live English-To-Spanish Translator · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Compte tenu de merde comment est le sous-titrage automatique fermé où vous voyez (TV, Youtube, etc.) en anglais où se fait la plupart des travaux et des recherches originales. Maintenant imaginez vous alors dois traduire cela en une autre langue où l'exercice de traduction est faible ou oui, donc. Maintenant, il s'agit d'ony moitié de l'équation, vous devez ensuite convertir une langue étrangère parlée en texte, puis le traduire en anglais. J'ai des réserves sur les performances d'un tel système, étant donné les performances de toutes les composantes individuelles nécessaires pour que cela devienne une réalité.

    That's from Bing Translate. The first few sentences are really hard to comprehend but the last one is, for lack of a better word, perfect.

    Multipass.

  12. Re:few details digging into the articles. on Skype Unveils Preview of Live English-To-Spanish Translator · · Score: 0

    Skype clients exist in linux, mac, and android, but Redmond is needlessly mandating the latest, and least popular version of Windows.

    And then Microsoft fanboys keep wondering why Mac, iOS, Linux and Android users hate Microsoft.

    Hell, Microsoft isn't even supporting the latest technologies for their own Windows 7 users anymore.

  13. Yeah right on Telepresence Store Staffed Remotely Using Robots · · Score: 2

    And who knows if the guys are wearing pants or not when they're working from home? All we see is their face!

    Always ask for a saleswoman.

  14. Re:"wouldn't be so s****y" on The Pirate Bay Responds To Raid · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Slashdot is run by people who live in the United States of America, where you can show people getting shot or worst on live TV, but you can't say "shit" or show a nipple.

    And if you pay you're the one getting the annoyance.

    3. No expenses spared upgrading intercept capabilities for the government, priceless!

    I knew it, our telecommunications companies have been bought by John Hammond.

    Why's that, eh? ICs made from wood not good enough for you, eh?

  18. Re:Hmmmm ... legality? on Amazon UK Glitch Sells Thousands of Products For a Penny · · Score: 0

    I think Amazon UK just created a precedent. What goes one way must work the other way too. That means you should be able to order hundreds of items and then cancel them all without any fees or penalties. After all it wasn't your fault, it was a "computer glitch" too.

    Why are you telling me this? Did you reply to the wrong comment?

    What do submarines have to do with Liru? (should be SFW)

  21. Simpsons did it on Sir Richard Branson Quietly Shelves Virgin Submarine Plan · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maybe he should ask James Cameron to borrow his deep-diving submersible.

  22. Re:IANAL, but... on Sony Pictures Leak Reveals Quashed Plan To Upload Phony Torrents · · Score: 4, Funny

    If someone uploads their own holiday video to the Pirate Bay then they've done nothing wrong

    Unless your name is Chewbacca.

    I tried to sell Ivory to a guy once. He was not amused.
