  1. Re:I think Nokia missed the boat on Nokia Exec: Young People Fed Up With iPhone and Android · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Yes, they screwed up trying to follow up the N900 with the N9, while giving the promising N950 only to a few devels, and so far killing the future for those great portable computers with phone functionality.

    And all android phones have a linux console, just in case you would want to compile a kernel.

  2. Re:So they are uploading the movie? on Sony, Universal and Fox Caught Pirating Through BitTorrent · · Score: 4, Funny

    If they are downloading them, they are sharing them as well. Would be great that those 3 companies sue each other out of existence for sharing bittorrents of the movies of the other companies.

    While they are doing it, maybe they could consider an apology for the Stuxnet virus. But of course, it don't have like the drone a "made in usa" visible sticker on it.

  5. Re:s/Russia/America/g on Publicly Available Russian Election Results Hint At Fraud · · Score: 1

    Will be about everywhere if US takes actions somehow against Russia because that voting. You know, like defending with navy the protesters if they want to take down that government, or do some nasty computer virus to screw something there.

  6. Re:Just another provocation of war on House Panel Moving Forward With SOPA · · Score: 2, Insightful

    American citizens thinks that doing this is wrong, so US will apply it to other people, in other countries, or in outside territories... Torture, or put in prison without trial is ok if done in guantanamo, people that complain against government/stablishment should be protected unless is in US, and only our voters need to have human rights. Heck, how loud are the US complains when other countries filter or censors the internet communication, but this time is ok because the bosses of the ones that are in the government say that their properties are being hurt outside.

    its ok when the US law affect only to other countries? The only Web 2.0 sites in the world can only be from US now?

  10. Re:No need to help your competitors on Ask Slashdot: Open Vs. Closed-Source For a Start-Up · · Score: 1

    For something that is attached to the hardware that only you make? The software part can be improved, tuned, added functionality that you didn't tought or wouldnt make it as generic as you want. Open enough code or specification for some hardware made it more attractive to some people compared with the competition, like the N900 (hdr photography and brain scanning were 2 things tested 1st there) or the DD-WRT routers.

  11. Stability? on Renault Opens Up the 'Car As a Platform' · · Score: 2

  12. Re:This should be illegal on Two SOPA Writers Become Entertainment Lobbyists · · Score: 2

    You should vote against them, if possible. For alternative parties, or for none of the above, or some other way to make it count that you voted, but didnt liked any of the candidates. If enough people vote, but not for them (or better yet, for none of them) the political system should notice how bad things are.

    Of course, if enough people vote for them anyway, even after this and other leaks (wont be surprised if those 2 get reelected if run for congress again), then accept it, your country really like to be governed by corrupt politicians, enjoy the ride, but don't try to run because what corrupt politicians approves in US reaches you wherever you move.

  15. Wrong implication on Is the Earth Special? · · Score: 1

    Take this facts
    - Our planet have some features not found in other planets in our solar system, or the ones we more or less know elsewhere
    - We didnt got any alien message so far
    Then the conclusion is that we are special and alone in the universe

    Some points are forgotten
    - Earth wasnt so gentle with life in its history. Wasnt intelligent life in most of it, in fact in good part wasnt any life at all.
    - Our "special features" could be not needed for required or intelligent life. Alien spacenuts could perfectly declare other "features" that we don't have as essential too, that couldnt be intelligent life in spiral galaxies, planet without rings or far from galaxy core as well.
    - Time matters, our civilization are here for the last 20k years, our capability to send message pretty close to elsewhere is from our last 100 years, and who knows for how much time things will last this way. In thousand of millons of years thats not even a blip on time,
    - Distance matters, the universe is BIG, and if current limitations of travel (both as physical and economic limits) keeps being true, going to the next star or communicating with it, or even doing something big enough that could be noticed from there could be something that we could not ever afford. For more distant stars, the rest of the galaxy or other galaxies we could not ever be noticed.

    For us, Earth is special... we are there, after all. There is no place like home. But that don't mean that couldnt be other homes with other people elsewhere.

  16. Not what you know on You Really Are What You Know · · Score: 3, Insightful
    but what you exercise. Probably there are (maybe in different areas) brain improvements too for piano players, people that speak in several languages or players of some games. The brain is a muscle that grows with training.

    Related with the title, not the content of the article, probably there is very little of what is "you" that wasnt what you know or what you lived. Someone else that looked essentially like me (to not have different experiences based on looks) living exactly what i lived would probably think like me.

  17. Interpreted languages? on Java Apps Have the Most Flaws, Cobol the Least · · Score: 1

  19. Almost vaporware on Researchers Expanding Diff, Grep Unix Tools · · Score: 1

    The grep is "in design process", the diff is "not released yet". And should be a lot of alternative tools to those 2, some that should have go around the same goal (i.e. mailgrep). Im all for improving those 2 venerable tools, but the announcement look a bit of out of time or scale.

  21. Re:That's more than... on Supreme Court Legitimizing Medical Patents? · · Score: 2

    You are not safe of it outside. There are plenty of american laws regarding patents and copyrighted content that are push to other countries like there is no tomorrow, and the other countries (or their legislators, those "incorruptible" entities that make laws) usually put forward those laws. See what happened around the Sinde law in Spain, even after was public why they were approving it.

  22. Re:Shenanigans!! All your thought are belong to us on Supreme Court Legitimizing Medical Patents? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Considering how US laws (specially patent and copyright ones) are push over other countries, the only way to get rid of it is at the source, not running away.

  25. Don't attack everything at once on Ask Slashdot: Getting a Grip On an Inherited IT Mess? · · Score: 1

    Set a goal on how all should be working and evolve each area toward that goal, one by one. Be sure that the old sections keep working with the new ones, keeping mostly the old code till their turn comes. Will be an iterative process as the definition of the goal architecture probably will evolve, both by future needs and to do less work accomodating old things that are good enough.
