  1. Puppet on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Install Ubuntu On 30 Laptops and Keep Them In Sync? · · Score: 4, Informative
  2. Re:Bad idea idiots on Mozilla BrowserID: Decentralized, Federated Login · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Not sure if you're trolling or not (you probably are), but in 2nd and 3rd world countries Internet Cafes and cellphones are the primary means of Internet access...

  3. Re:Slashdot community's constant hating on Firefox on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 1

    If Firefox wants to be a cutting edge testing environment for whizbangs great, make that clear. If it wants to be used in production environments where long term stability and available time for internal test cycles trump access to whizbangs then this is bad.

    Take a guess which one Mozilla cares about.

  4. Re:finally on The Abdication of the HTML Standard · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Regardless of who is setting the standard, it *is* an open standard, implementable by anyone who reads the spec. Flash is not. Big difference.

  5. Re:Why the iPhone? on Firefox Home Coming To iPhone, Browser Next? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because the full featured Firefox browser is coming to Android.

  6. To all of you selfish westerners complaining... on First Non-Latin TLDs Go Online Today · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Fuck off.

  7. nobody would use it on Free Software To Save Us From Social Networks · · Score: -1, Troll

    suck it, you dumb slashdot filter

  8. Re:This is completely stupid. on SourceForge Removes Blanket Blocking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They hope to avoid liability.

  9. Re:Um...how do you figure? on Firefox Mobile Threatens Mobile App Stores, Says Mozilla · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1: You're missing the point. The point is that developers will move to browser independent webapps rather than writing an iPhone+blackberry app+htc touch app, etc.
    2: Web browsers are not appropriate for everything, but they're becoming increasingly faster, and increasingly more appropriate for more intense tasks.
    3: There's already lots of subscription websites - Mozilla need not do anything to support this - people can do this on their own.
    4: The browser already has access to everything you listed: camera, accelerometers, GPS, and multitouch. And yes, the hardware is abstracted away by the platform and made available through a standard API.

  10. Re:Saw this on Musical Tesla Coils Perform Zelda · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't this more of a visualization than an instrument?

  11. Re:Linux Ver Security hole, fox stupidity, or both on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 1

    NOT +1 interesting. The FTP service is "Microsoft FTP Service".

  12. Not a horrible password on Fox News' FTP Password Anyone? · · Score: 3, Informative

    That password would've been satisfactory if it was kept better.

  13. One day? on Day of Silence On the Internet · · Score: 1

    How is shutting down for one day going to do ANYTHING?

  14. Re:Don't think she has a case... on Google Street View Raises Privacy Concerns · · Score: 1

    I think things change when it's done on such a mass scale.

    At least, they should change.

  15. The best part on First GH III Video Displays Differences · · Score: 1

    The best part is how there's a tattooed, built, guitar player playing EMO.

  16. Re:Why not just let us pay for the damn bandwidth? on Will ISPs Spoil Online Video? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The reason people get so angry is because for years "unlimited" bandwidth has been advertised.

  17. Help in an emergency? on Using RFID and Wi-Fi to Track Students · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Angelo Lamme, from Motorola, said tracking students on a campus could help during a fire or an emergency.

    And how exactly are you going to access the data if the school is on fire? I cannot think of any legitimate use for this.

  18. It's a faaaaake on Holocaust Dropped From Some UK Schools · · Score: 4, Informative
  19. Re:Say What? on Implications of the Mozilla/Adobe Partnership · · Score: 4, Informative

    Tamarin has a JIT compiler for faster execution of a lot of Javascript code. I imagine that is a big part of what is going to be intergrated.

  20. To pre-empt the "ZOMG MOZILLA TEH NAZI" crowd... on Firefox To Be Renamed In Debian · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here is a link to the thread on debian's bugzilla:
    http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3 54622

    The trademark problems discussed make the issue pretty clear.

  21. Re:Leisure Suit Larry on Will Solve Captcha for Money? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You win the thread.

    I learned more about America in the 1960s/1970s from those questions than I did from anything else, ever.
    RIP Sierra

  22. Re:Between Pavlov and Dr Moreau on Neuroscientist Halts Research to Stop Extremists · · Score: 0, Troll

    That's fine by me, as long as there's choice just like abortion. No one is forcing you get an abortion or use animal tested products. But in the same sense no one should force companies to stop making sure products are safe because people like you happen to think bunnies are real cute.

    That's exactly the point. Animals being tested on do not have a choice. If you could talk to the little bunnies and they said 'please test on me!' there would be no problem! It is wrong to do shiate to animals so Paris Hilton can say 'that's hot'.

  23. Dude on London Gamers Shoot It Out In The Streets · · Score: 2, Interesting

    That is really, really, cool.

  24. Like Cedega? on Windows Games on Macs Without Windows · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And are the games going to work as "well" as they do with Cedega?

  25. Is that legal? on Luke Smith vs. Square/Enix · · Score: 1

    Can a private corporation legally dictate what a news agency can and cannot say?
