  1. South! on Antarctic Climate Research Expedition Trapped In Sea Ice · · Score: 1

    I hope they brought a copy of Shackleton's book to read.

  2. If it says OPEN in the name on OpenSUSE 13.1 Released and Reviewed · · Score: 0

    It prolly isn't.

  3. Who cares. on LinkedIn's New Mobile App Called 'a Dream For Attackers' · · Score: 5, Funny

    I have had a Linkedin account forever. I never even go there any more. I've never met any women on Linkedin, so I find it totally useless.

  4. Orderly life on Is Choice a Problem For Android? · · Score: 1

    Life under Stalin in the old USSR was safe and orderly too. Just like the experience of the "other" smartphone.

  5. Nothing new on Wireless Charging Start-Up Claims 30-Foot Radius · · Score: 1, Informative

    Nikola Tesla demonstrated a 100 Watt light bulb being lit 92 miles away from his Colorado Springs lab about 100 years ago.

    30 feet?

    Ha!

  6. It's not the camera. It's Windows on Microsoft Drops Price on Nokia's 41-Megapixel Phone · · Score: 4, Informative
  7. Re:Innovation? on Nokia Insider On Why It Failed and Why Apple Could Be Next · · Score: 2

    I am/was a Maemo fan. The N9 could have been the next "iPhone". I think that was what M$ was afraid of. The reason for their war to destroy Nokia.

  8. No 2nd Amendment. on EU Proposes To Fit Cars With Speed Limiters · · Score: 0

    No rights at all.

    Tyranny is guaranteed.

  9. Re:I smell Microsoft on X.Org Foundation Loses 501(c)3 Non-Profit Status · · Score: 1

    The new Slashdot. Where truth is modded to troll. This is exactly the kind of thing Microsoft engages in. Anything that is good, and "free" software enrages them to having fits. They can't stand the idea.

    Look back on funding SCO to try and cripple Linux. Taking over Nokia to kill off Maemo. And I think they had their filthy hands in this.

    What is really sad is that Slashdot is now filled with those that can't see the calculated evil that Microsoft as a company really is.

    And being modded down on Slashdot for pointing out even potential Microsoft evil doing shows how things here have changed.

    Sad.

  10. I smell Microsoft on X.Org Foundation Loses 501(c)3 Non-Profit Status · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is the type of dirty trick their lobbyists would do.

  11. It makes you wonder? on New Zealand Parliament Votes To Extend Spying Powers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Who does all this spying serve? Really. Who?

  12. Re:I'm not that surprised. on Microsoft Will Squeeze Datacenters On Price of Windows Server · · Score: 1

    How much would that cost from RedHat?

  13. Re:Not enough on Microsoft Cuts Surface Pro Price By $100 · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is obviously an M$ shill. why hasn't some one modded this down?

  14. Re:Digital image stabilization makes a comeback. on Nokia Lumia 1020 Video and Photo Shoot Preview · · Score: 2

    I have a Nokia 808 PureView. It does all this without being infected with Windows.

  15. Dear Nokia on Nokia: Microsoft Must Evolve To Make Windows Phone a Success · · Score: 2

    1: Ditch Microsoft before it's too late.
    2: Buy QT back.
    3: Buy Jolla and start making the phones your customers want.

    Thanks, Kurt.

  16. This is why I bought a Chromebook on Microsoft Petitions US Attorney General For Permission To Disclose Data Requests · · Score: 5, Funny

    So Google can turn my data over to the NSA, I don't like Microsoft!

  17. Re:in soviet russia on Russian Federal Guard Service "Upgrades" To Electric Typewriters · · Score: 1

    UEFI?

  18. There is a difference on The Black Underbelly of Windows 8.1 'Blue' · · Score: 0, Troll

    Google = Do No Harm.
    Microsoft = Do Harm.

  19. The answer is in the past. on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Store Data In Hard Copy? · · Score: 1

    High density Morse Code.

  20. Pilot error? on Boeing 777 Crashes At San Francisco Airport · · Score: 0

    I'll be willing to bet a Bitcoin that the pilot was trying to land the airplane instead of just letting the computer do it.

  21. This subject is shill ridden on The Aging of Our Nuclear Power Plants Is Not So Graceful · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The last time I commented to a post on this subject I saw my karma go from excellent to good because of rabid pro nuke folks modding down anything that asked questions of real long term cost and un subsidized cost of nuclear power per G/Watt versus wind or solar actual costs.

    It would be nice to have a real discussion about this with citations to factual numbers, but there seems to be a foaming at the mouth "nuclear power is the only answer" bunch here that wat to obfuscate real data.

    Even asking questions about factual discussion of long term nuclear power ACTUAL cost will prolly cost me Karma.

     

  22. Re:Have Fun Wrangling on Foxconn Betting Big On Firefox OS · · Score: 1

    Chain them to a steel table with a water bucket and a pee bucket the way all bosses want to treat their developers. It is China.

  23. How to show support in the USA on Pirate Bay Founder Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 0

    We all should show support for free speech and protest Anakata's imprisonment. Since the main reasons he is jailed are the **AA, and the "Mickey Mouse Forever" Act, I thought we could express our sentiment by pissing on Sonny Bono's grave:

    https://maps.google.com/maps?q=33.8197212,-116.4417191&spn=0.004205,0.005249

    I would have also suggested the same for Jack Valenti, however he is buried in Arlington National Cemetery so that might result in jail.

    This could be a great travel destination for those that value free speech.
         

  24. Is this post just FUD? on Google's Crazy Lack of Focus: Is It Really Serious About Enterprise? · · Score: 0

    Did Microsoft write this? Is M$ trying to use underhanded advertising to say hey still have some relevance? Why did Slashdot even post this?

  25. Pure economics` on Microsoft To Start Dumping Surface RT To Schools For $199 · · Score: 1, Funny

    Better $199.00 from a school than $0.00 from the dumpster.
