  1. Re:It would be fair... on Unlocking New Mobile Phones Becomes Illegal In the US Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    I fail to understand the purpose of this law. If you don't fufill your contract with your provider, they generally have early termination fees and such in their contracts, why do they need the feds to enforce something that doesn't need to be enforced.?

  2. Betteridge's law of headlines. on Ask Slashdot: Should Employers Ban Smartphones? · · Score: 2

    Someone has to say it, may as well be me. What is this MSN?

  3. Re:Wine on Valve Reveals First Month of Steam Linux Gains · · Score: 1

    Probably a dozen.

  4. Parental controls? on Ask Slashdot: Keeping Your Media Library Safe From Kids? · · Score: 2
  5. Re:WDS is a security risk on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 1

    Well that's a whole other discussion, 120 similarly configured access points is worse, IMHO.

  6. WDS on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Deploy Small Office Wi-Fi SSIDs? · · Score: 0

    This problem has been solved already, it's called WDS. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireless_distribution_system

  7. Re:It's no longer funny. Stop it, please. on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well it's a lazy journalistic crutch and needs to be mocked at every opportunity.

  8. Re:Betteridge's law of headlines on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 0

    Came here to post this.

  9. Re:More Irrational Gun Nuts on New York Paper Uses Public Records To Publish Gun-Owner Map · · Score: 1

    A pool. A list of gun owners. Same thing!

  10. Re:More Irrational Gun Nuts on New York Paper Uses Public Records To Publish Gun-Owner Map · · Score: 1

    Not really see what they actually did was just literally publish the list, they didn't incite anyone to violence. I'm not entirely sure I agree with the release of the list to begin with, for other reasons.

  11. Re:So Proud of Gun Ownership on New York Paper Uses Public Records To Publish Gun-Owner Map · · Score: 1

    An AC calling someone a pussy. You're doing god's trolling work son.

  12. Evolution. on Ask Slashdot: Current State of Linux Email Clients? · · Score: 1

    Having tested many, my current vote is for Evolution. Mostly because it can do RPC over HTTPs and talk to Exchange 2003 and later email servers. Which is kind of a big deal.

  13. Re:Sorry to be frank but what did he think on Hit Game Makes £52 In First Week On Windows RT · · Score: 1

    For some dumbass reason I thought it meant the Windows 8 store. I don't know maybe the people who wanted the game already bought it on those other platforms? It's too new/not enough install base?

  14. Re:Sorry to be frank but what did he think on Hit Game Makes £52 In First Week On Windows RT · · Score: 2

    Clearly M dollarsign is to blame. Clearly. Maybe people don't want to play a mobile game on a desktop. Maybe lots of things.

  15. Re:Sorry to be frank but what did he think on Hit Game Makes £52 In First Week On Windows RT · · Score: -1

    Making sensationalist so so brave statement bashing Microsoft will probably bring this person in more money. Maybe no one wanted to buy it based on its own merits? Why blame the platform? So weird.

  16. Re:Bruce Perens on Ubuntu/Redhat etc on RMS Speaks Out Against Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I thought it was free as in speech, not free as in beer? It sounds like people want their special little thing to not get too popular and to not let people make money off of it. I don't see much wrong with what Red Hat/Fedora and Ubuntu do. What's wrong with charging money to support an enterprise level product? Is that what Stallman and Berens want?

  17. Re:Shrug on Virginia Woman Is Sued For $750,000 After Writing Scathing Yelp Review · · Score: 4, Funny

    Calm down I've already been told. I was wrong on the internet.

  18. Well cool, it still hasn't been found to apply to slander/defamation/libel cases.

  19. The first amendment has been interpreted by common and case law to not protect you in cases of slander or libel. If you're arguing for an entirely literal interpretation of the first amendment well then I'm not entirely sure what to tell you.

  20. Congress didn't make the laws, the individual states did. Womp womp.

  21. Re:Shrug on Virginia Woman Is Sued For $750,000 After Writing Scathing Yelp Review · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Correct, it has to both be false and malicious.

  22. Re:Short answer: on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    Not our problem.

  23. Re:Shrug on Virginia Woman Is Sued For $750,000 After Writing Scathing Yelp Review · · Score: 4, Informative

    Doesn't apply to defamation/slander.

  24. Betteridge's Law of Headlines on Ask Slashdot: Do You Still Need a Phone At Your Desk? · · Score: 1

    "Any headline which ends in a question mark can be answered by the word no" Most newer IP PBX systems can be programmed to use more than one number, that is, someone calls your desk, you're not there, it tries your cell phone, you're not there, it sends you an IM, etc. I think the true answer is "it depends on the nature of your job".

  25. I don't like this analogy. on If Tech Is So Important, Why Are IT Wages Flat? · · Score: 1

    I feel this if then statement is oversimplified. The answer is probably external factors making the competitive wage for the jobs remain flat in a recession economy. But that's not sensational enough for /. is it? Perhaps if we got Rob Enderle to declare something dead, that'll get a shitload of clicks.
