  1. How cute ... on The Internet Society is Unhappy with U.S. Govt's Internet Spying Tactics · · Score: 1

    tell you a big secret now: THE WHOLE FUCKING WORLD is mad at the USA for their bullshit, not just some NGO.

  2. Learned to write C first, loved it on Learning To Code: Are We Having Fun Yet? · · Score: 1

    ok, I had a great teacher, so maybe thats part of it ;)
    But generally, when I wrote my C work I quickly got into a quite deep flow. In the other languages I wrote/write stuff in (Java and Python at Uni, now C# at work) it is much less so because you generally do much less low-level tinkering -> the feel is much more upbeat and less relaxed.

    On the other hand, the stuff that took me a weekend to write in C I could probably get done in an hour tops in any of those languages ;)

  3. Re:What is PCB? on PCBs Cause Birds To Sing a Different Tune · · Score: 1

    haha, thought the same, only knew pcb as "printed circuit board" and was like "dafuq?"

  4. Re:attaching lenses to camera produces microscope. on Turning a Smart Phone Into a Microscope · · Score: 1

    full ack ... just because you use a smartphone instead of a built-in image sensor does not make stuff groundbreaking ... it just removes parts which everyone has already in his pocket anyhow.

    Actually: this system is already in use at least for a bunch of telescopes where you can easily screw on your camera for taking images, and I imagine it is no different with professional microscopes ... so the only thing that actually changes is the adaptor.

  5. Printing your own stuff is not illegal on What Will Ubiquitous 3D Printing Do To IP Laws? · · Score: 1

    the same way it is not illegal to print out a copyrighted image for your own non-commercial use (eg. because you want to pin it to your wall)

  6. Re:Open source? on Open Well-Tempered Clavier: a Kickstarter Campaign For Open Source Bach · · Score: 1

    ack, also, bach is already public domain anyhow ...

  7. *cough* unionize? on Ask Slashdot: Does Your Work Schedule Make You Unproductive? · · Score: 1

    i mean, seriously, preventing worker exploitation is the point of it after all...

  8. They did something wrong ... on Its Nuclear Plant Closed, Maine Town Is Full of Regret · · Score: 1

    in my town we had two big industries close down, each around 1k employees, but with good (socialist) town management and good laws (companies essentially have to put up programs for the people they lay off in such cases so they can find new jobs or get a secondary education) the unemployment numbers are as low as ever.

  9. Re:GMA 600? Last years Atom? $200?!? on Intel Rolls Out Raspberry Pi Competitor · · Score: 1

    esp. considering you can buy atom-itx-boards starting around 50€ (so for all components sticking below 150€ is possible) - and you can even upgrade the components separately then instead of having to throw it all away if you run OOM

  10. All hail capitalism! on Poor US Infrastructure Threatens the Cloud · · Score: 1

    nuf said

  11. Re:No Surprise on Secret Court Upholds Phone Data Collection · · Score: 1

    Jop, esp. telcos have not the best rep when it comes to caring about users. Same in my country, the former state-owned telco is really blatantly arrogant and then wonders why the users are going away to alternative offers (eg. you have to pay a higher monthly fee for a 2nd sim card with _shared_ limits (9€ or so) than with a competitor for a separate limit data-only sim with multiple gb (5€ iirc for 2GB and afterwards it is just slower with no extra fee) )

  12. What do you expect? on Canadian Scientists Protest Political Sandbagging of Evidence-Based Policy · · Score: 1

    It's a conservative government after all. It is more or less their self-description that they cater to the needs of companies and not the people ...

  13. You are really surprised? on NYC Is Tracking RFID Toll Collection Tags All Over the City · · Score: 1

    Seriously, I would have been surprised if it would have been otherwise, but suit yourself in your capitalist police state across the atlantic.

  14. because borrowing your car to other people should be illegal (get your own car, you hippie!)

  15. Absolutely useless on Ferrari's New Car Tech Idea: Make Car Go Really Fast · · Score: 1

    You are not allowed to drive that fast anywhere in the world anyhow (except germany where you cant because the highways are full anyhow). I'd rather have a more comfy car that does a top of 200 (km/h that is) but it utterly silent and efficient (can we do 5l per 100km in _real_ conditions?) until you hit at least 150.

  16. No programming for it anyhow on Is It Time to Replace Your First HDTV? (Video) · · Score: 1

    ... i mean seriously, at least in my country there is virtually no programming on terrestrial tv (which is what most people use), so why would I as an average joe who maybe watches tv when eating lunch alone, need a ultra-hd tv, and I'm not even starting with 3d here ...

  17. Still a US company. on Google Speeding Up New Encryption Project After Latest Snowden Leaks · · Score: 1

    the only thing you have a chance to be nsa-free would be something without any US involvement

  18. Re:500 kph!!! on Japan's L-Zero Maglev Train Reaches 310 mph In Trials · · Score: 1

    k, noted ... it actually is km/h in my native tongue (austrian ... not to be confused with german) and was just like "nah, can't be the same, lets write it the same way the write mph".

  19. Re:kph, do you speak it? on Japan's L-Zero Maglev Train Reaches 310 mph In Trials · · Score: 1

    so why not divide by 1.6? People using MPH are the extreme minority on a global scale anyhow

  20. Re:kph, do you speak it? on Japan's L-Zero Maglev Train Reaches 310 mph In Trials · · Score: 1

    huuuuuge +1, SI UNITS!!!

  21. 500 kph!!! on Japan's L-Zero Maglev Train Reaches 310 mph In Trials · · Score: 1

    Only the US-Tards use MPH and the rest of the world is confused.

  22. Re:Any are better than the stock coolers on High-end CPU Coolers Reviewed and Compared · · Score: 1

    jeah, well, having to vacuum things out every few months is non-optional with any cooling solution (except maybe for passive water cooling - passive referring to the radiator, not using no pump)

  23. Boxed forever! on High-end CPU Coolers Reviewed and Compared · · Score: 1

    seriously, 99% of the time the boxed cooler cuts it just fine (also regarding noise level), and you dont have to fiddle around so much.

  24. Shit site on Inside OS X Mavericks · · Score: 1

    seriously, who else gets eye strain the instant he clicks that link?

  25. Govt has to fix it again on Why the Japanese Government Should Take Over the Fukushima Nuclear Plant · · Score: 1

    always the same, ultra-capitalist companies (banks, nuclear power plant operators) mess stuff up big time and once the profits are reaped by the bosses and the system crashes, they cry for the government to help and patch everything up again - spend billions of our all money - because the companies and people who pulled out literally billions upon billions of profits cant be bothered to do their share.
