  1. Re:The ultimate irony on Google Fights Back Against Android Fragmentation · · Score: 1

    If Google prefers that you can't update or customize your phone, why are the phones with Google's name on them the ones that are the most frequently updated and easiest to customize.

    I bought mine because it's a good phone.

  3. Re:As I and many others pointed out yesterday on Amazon's Cloud Player: We Don't Need a License · · Score: 1

    Where does your hacked client get the correct checksum values from? You need to have access to the mp3 in the first place in order to get the correct checksum and if that's the case then you could just have uploaded the mp3 to Amazon instead of uploading the checksum and you would still have access.

  4. Re:As I and many others pointed out yesterday on Amazon's Cloud Player: We Don't Need a License · · Score: 1

    The "logic" involved in these copyright cases makes my brain hurt. An individual copy of each mp3 is streamed to each user of mp3.com, just as each person who buys an mp3 from Amazon.com gets their own copy. There is no logical distinction between the two.

  5. Re:It's cloud-based alright on Amazon Releases Cloud-Based Music Service · · Score: 1

    So I guess you think CD-R's should be illegal for the same reason?

  6. Re:It's cloud-based alright on Amazon Releases Cloud-Based Music Service · · Score: 1

    I guess I'm screwed then too. I have all my music stored on a NAS box. Every time I listen to music at home I am streaming music from online.

  7. Re:This is inspiration for education on Breaking Into the Super Collider · · Score: 1

    Care to explain how multiculturalism is anti-education? I have no idea what you are getting at. And while some environmentalists may not be well grounded in science environmentalism as a whole is not anti-science at all.

  8. Re:This is inspiration for education on Breaking Into the Super Collider · · Score: 1

    One would guess because the Democrats have never been known for anti-education or anti-science policies.

  9. Re:On the contrary on Improving Productivity (With Science) · · Score: 1

    With the advent of large monitors, a better solution for the latter would probably be to have a decent utility to split up the main screen, but I've yet to see one that really did a very good job of splitting one monitor into multiple logical monitors.

    I'm not sure what you mean here. Have you tried one of those new fangled desktop environments with their fancy window managers? They seem to do what you call for.

  10. Re:Religion on Gadgets For the Ghosthunter · · Score: 1

    "Believe nothing no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and common sense". That's a quote from the Buddha. Skepticism and thinking for yourself are very much a part of Buddhism.

  11. Re:Earth is BIG on Sludge In Flask Gives Clues To Origin of Life · · Score: 1

    Possibly when the earth was young and hot there was greater volcanic activity and so hydrothermal vents were not as deep as they are now? Also maybe earth had less water back then and so shallower oceans.

  12. Re:USA #1 on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    I saved something like $100 dollars by getting my N1 for T-Mobile off contract.

  13. Re:ETFs on Verizon, Sprint, and AT&T on AT&T Cracking Down On Unofficial iPhone Tethering · · Score: 1

    I've heard some places have terrible T-Mobile coverage, but I've never had a problem with coverage. In fact my coverage is generally great. Do your research first, but if you're not going to be in areas where T-Mo has poor coverage I think they are by far the best option.

  14. Re:Testable! on Large Hadron Collider is a Time Machine? · · Score: 2

    My understanding is that languages such as German and Japanese have much more complicated verbs then English, though that is not to say that English verbs are in any way easy. Chinese on the other hand has no verb tenses. What are you considering as the second verb form, the addition of the le particle?

  15. Re:We appreciate your support! on The Quake Through Eyes of Slashdot Japan · · Score: 1

    It's a lot of time but if they are using public transit, as people in sensible countries tend to do, then it is not necessarily wasted time.

  16. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    I didn't say you've never had it, but as someone who is not a fan of beer your taste in beer obviously diverges from the tastes of those who are fans of beer.

  17. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 1

    Well there's the problem. You should have had a disclaimer. By stating you are an Irishman you imply that you are something of an expert on Irish beer, which you clearly can not be if you don't enjoy any beer at all.

    No, they had them in the bottles.

  19. Re:The science of better Guinness on The Science of Stout Beer · · Score: 2

    As an Irishman you should know what a beer is at least, why are you comparing Bulmers to Guinness? If I want a beer I would consider a Guinness but I sure as hell won't be ordering a cider!

    Don't be silly, since when does open source software have a usable FM? The appropriate response is RTFS.

    For IM on Android what's wrong with Google Talk? It works great in my experience.

  22. Re:Of course.... on Are We Too Reliant On GPS? · · Score: 1

    I didn't mean it didn't apply to GPS at all, just that as general rule it doesn't apply to GPS any more or any less then it applies to things like axes and blenders.

    Yep, openstreetmap.org.

  24. Re:Of course.... on Are We Too Reliant On GPS? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's a great general rule but it really has nothing to do with GPS.

  25. Re:Of course.... on Are We Too Reliant On GPS? · · Score: 1

    I don't see how that's a problem exclusive to GPS. You could just as easily be following directions from a gas station map that has the same trail labeled as a state route. GPS didn't invent map errors.
