  1. Re:It's the ESA not the EU on EU Sending a Probe To the Sun · · Score: 1

    It also includes Non-EU European countries

  2. Re:Good for them on China Launches Space Station Laboratory Module · · Score: 1

    Actually, the first two issues you raise doesn't cost that much - it's by far the last one that is creating the problems for US.

  3. Re:This just makes sense on Science and Religion Can and Do Mix, Mostly · · Score: 1

    Where do you find that OT has been superseded by NT? Even Jesus said people should follow the laws in OT.

    This is just a made up claim to make NT more acceptable to modern people who can think for themselves.

  4. Re:Honest Question on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    Why not do both? And it's $1 million - you're already beyond the "way to becoming" rich. Filthy rich - that's another thing.

  5. Re:Editing. on Why We Don't Need Gigabit Networks (Yet) · · Score: 1

    100mbit is not enough when you get 3 streams of HD TV channels, and at the same time want to surf the interwebs. 1gbit might be more than you need right now, but 100mbit is not enough... I'm glad I've got fiber directly into the house.

    No need for helmets on a sound-stage

  8. Re:It's convenience and security. on Why the Fax Machine Refuses To Die · · Score: 1

    Faxes are so last year!

    We stopped 99% of usage back in '99, but we still have 1 fax-number just incase we have to deal with Americans or other countries stuck in the early 90s.

    If I have to send a fax, I just send an email to a number@mycompany.com, but we're told to only use it if the customer is being an "arse" and not accepting stuff on email.

    Duh! It's for mounting on your pet-shark!

  10. Re:LAND OF THE FREE? on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    Land of the free doesn't mean you can do anything you like. It meant you could do it, as long as it wasn't harmfull to others!

  11. Re:"So why aren't we doing it?" on Ask Slashdot: Could We Deal With the End of Time Zones? · · Score: 1

    I can understand the submitter - the amount of cock-ups we've had at work because of time difference and MS Exchange is in the thousands, just in 2011.

  12. Re:Total Nonstarter in the US. on Russia Approves Siberia-Alaska Railway · · Score: 1

    Increase taxes! Easy way to get money.

  14. Re:Email transmission? on Motorola's Most Important 18 Patents · · Score: 1

    Maybe it's pressing the send button on a touch screen, using a flat device with rounded corner, and the screen placed in the middle of the device?

  15. Re:ummmm.... on Taken Over By Aliens? Google Has It Covered · · Score: 1

    That is what they want you to think!

  17. Re:WHERE IS YOUR CAPS-LOCK KEY? on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1

    That should've been a "less than 10%" ... stupid HTML thing

  18. Re:WHERE IS YOUR CAPS-LOCK KEY? on DARPA To Sponsor R&D For Interstellar Travel · · Score: 1

    According to Wall Street Journal, 10% of TARP money are still out there somewhere, but the amount is the same as 3 years of NASA budgets.

  19. Re:Honest Mistake on Samsung Tablet Ban Lifted For Most of EU · · Score: 2

    Sorry to kill your funny, but the court figured out it couldn't judge for the entire EU, just Germany - that's all.

  20. Re:Please... on Why PCs Trump iPads For User Innovation · · Score: 1

    Because you cannot buy a $600 gadget and think you've changed the business. The $600 dollar gadget is on top of the $60 million already spent.

  21. Re:This is weak. on Why PCs Trump iPads For User Innovation · · Score: 1

    What we use iPads for in our organisation is documents in board meetings. The rest of the time, it's useless, except for avoiding symantec.cloud blocking.

  22. Re:Wrong, repeating myth on Why PCs Trump iPads For User Innovation · · Score: 1

    In reality it's quite wrong; Even ignoring the obvious creation tools such as Garage Band, a billion drawing programs and things like iMovie, there are so many word processors and note taking apps that people make heavy use of every day... when you can easily work on screen as it is, with a stylus, or with any USB or bluetooth keyboard why would the iPad not be a good solution for day to day note taking?

    Only Apple fanboys thinks content creation means "tools such as Garage Band, a billion drawing programs and things like iMovie" and being able to take notes during a meeting.
