  1. Re:Client vs. Server Applications on Windows Loses Ground With Developers · · Score: 1

    Then you are breaking the qt license, which is GPL.

  2. Re:Let me guess... on Ban On Price Floors Abandoned, Internet Prices May Rise · · Score: 1

    I don't understand this anyway, video game console manufacturers have been able to do this for years haven't they?

  3. Re:Uh... on Wikipedia Gets State Funding in Germany · · Score: 1

    I was responding to the absolute nature of his claim:
    "the government is exclusively concerned with what is of benefit to the people of Germany."

    That's bullshit; no one has achieved that. Are you claiming that Germany is the best democracy in the world, and not only that, they have no further to go?

  4. Re:Which reviews are you reading? on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    Pogue conviently left this out of his original article: "Can you type with two thumbs? I've seen Apple employees flail away with two thumbs as though on a BlackBerry, but it takes loads of practice. After two weeks, I'm still tapping with one index finger." From the NYT.

    Here's a new one: "Can you type with two thumbs? I've seen Apple employees flail away with two thumbs as though on a BlackBerry, but it takes loads of practice. After two weeks, I'm still tapping with one index finger." From the NYT.

    All of them said that about the virtual keyboard? Really? Liar.

    Typing was OK. Difficult at first, but learned to "trust" the keyboard. "The BlackBerry won't be going away anytime soon." 'Learned to "trust" the keyboard' isn't the same as "stating that the virtual keyboard is at least usable and can be as quick and easy as a physical thumbboard once you get used to it."
  8. Re:There is no "quota" for reviewers on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    You conveniently left out his glowing review of (of all things) the Apple TV. Sure, he doesn't have a quota, but you aren't gonna see him pulling off events where he is the host of an interview with Bill AND Steve in the future if he trashes their products. So don't act like he has a complete lack of incentive.

  9. Re:Which reviews are you reading? on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: 1

    I've been reading various reviews, not various selected quotes from various selected reviews by one guy. But, whatever. I've seen a mix of both, but those negatives have weighed more than the positives overall; again, just from what I've seen.

  10. Re:Uh... on Wikipedia Gets State Funding in Germany · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, Germany figured out how to create the perfect holy grail of Government? Bullshit AC, bullshit.

  11. Problems on Walt Mossberg Reviews the iPhone · · Score: -1, Troll

    Seems like so I'm seeing a lot of 'scratches easily', and 'lack of tactile feedback kills it'. We can only hope that those folks are wrong, but I'm pessimistic on this one.

  12. Re:They still need one more site... on Google Setting Up a Presence In Kenya · · Score: 1

    And just when they think they have won; ZOMBO.COM beats them silly.

  13. Re:compensation? on WoW Database Site Sells For $1 Million · · Score: 1

    Can you read? Cause there was a nice long agreement you agreed to by posting that said you don't get any of it.

  14. Re:Has Sega completely forgotten the point of Soni on Bioware Making a Sonic RPG on the DS · · Score: 1

    "but that they STOPPED making classic sonic games."

    Bullshit; Sonic Rush is out on the very system this article is referring to.

  15. Re:Logical progression of hate crime/speech laws on It's Hard To Run a Blog In Sweden · · Score: 1

    Copyright would have to be done away with then. What crime underlies copyright infringement that doesn't directly involve speech?

  16. Re:I've known about this for a while... on ISPs Inserting Ads Into Your Pages · · Score: 1

    You'd have to sue lynx and notepad--the web doesn't give you control of presentation.

    It actually means something about anal sex.

    Good point, a landline beats it there hands down.

    Nice troll, you loser.

  21. Re:What? on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    This is an electronic medium, and what people do or don't do when writing centuries old trash is irrelevant. There's a long tradition on Slashdot (that's.. *here*) of using sarcasm tags.

    I work at a glue factory you insensitive clod!

  23. Sweet on Maine Passes a Net Neutrality Resolution · · Score: 1

    I totally agree with Ron Paul: this should be something the states decide.

    Those numbers *are* inflated, but what aren't are the Firefox usage stats; websites can clearly tell which browser their actual users are running.

    That was so recent I had missed it. Also, it is only applicable in the 2nd circuit.
