  1. Re:"Valued"? on Steve Jobs' Yacht Impounded In Amsterdam · · Score: 1

    It would be much cheaper if it didn't have the 100% "Apple" Tax... wait till Samsung releases the knockoff

  2. Re:No, it has nothing to do with fuel on The World Falls Back In Love With Coal · · Score: 1

    Ditto... Well played Anonymous Coward

  3. Re:MIT does not have researchers? on Researchers Create Working Nano Laser · · Score: 1

    Better publicists?

  4. Re:Apple initally stole the iPhone name from Cisco on Apple Loses Trademark Claim Against iFone in Mexico · · Score: 2

    Step 1 Defend in court
    Step 2 Win defensive case
    Step 3 Profit by selling the name back to Apple for $5B

  5. Re:Slashdot now stealing content on Is a Wireless Data Center Possible? · · Score: 1

    Not sure that a link with a brief synopsis constitutes a copy... IANAL, but that seems like a stretch.

  6. Re:Oh neat! on Nanotech Solar Cell Minimizes Cost, Toxic Impact · · Score: 1

    How does solar power compete with oil? I can understand coal, wind, nuclear, and hydro, but oil?

    You need to think a little more clearly on this topic.

    There are still oil powered electric plants... Hmmm?

  7. Re:In Italy? on Supervolcano Drilling Plan Gets Go-Ahead · · Score: 2

    Awesome this time they will be able to give a good warning... In the next three months while we drill into the caldera.

    Problem solved... maybe they will manage to completely destroy all the people who were disatisfied with the lack of warning last time?

  8. Re:Please Just Stop! on Google Patents Using iPhones To Kill 'Free Bird' · · Score: 1

    Definitely agreed - Patent Office = Epic Fail

    Time for a revamp of the whole system...

  9. Re:Fines? on Feds Seized Website For a Year Without Piracy Proof · · Score: 1

    If only....

    Actually I think we would all prefer to see a real dismantling of the whole legal framework of what comprises copyright infringement... But fines for false accusations in this realm would definitely dissuade the accusers from painting the world with a WIDE brush.

  10. Re:FUCK YES on Remastered Star Trek: the Next Generation Blu-ray a Huge Leap Forward · · Score: 1

    I was not a big Wesley fan on the show, but I love his blog... and it makes me smile when I see the little fella on reruns.

  11. Re:FUCK YES on Remastered Star Trek: the Next Generation Blu-ray a Huge Leap Forward · · Score: 2

    Make that because it has Wil Wheaton in it!

  12. Re:5 months on FDA To Review Inhalable Caffeine · · Score: 1

    And the Darwin award goes to...

    www.darwinawards.com

  13. If you really care - DO SOMETHING! on Feds Return Mistakenly Seized Domain · · Score: 2

    Call or contact your Senator!

    Senate Contacts

    Call or contact your Representative!
    House Contacts

    Get involved another way?
    EFF is a good way

  14. Re:Seems dumb on Twitter Bots Drown Out Anti-Kremlin Tweets · · Score: 2

    Follower count for each would make each account look more popular. Follower count is used in some of the third party twitter searches to improve relevance... *fail*

  15. Re:Easy? on Bug Opens Chrome to Easy Remote Code Execution · · Score: 1

    Seems to be a very small subset of users that would be affected. I wonder what % of Chrome users are using a different search engine... I'd bet its a pretty small# on just the first caveat.

  16. Great move by the XBMC team (Still a little sad) on XBMC Discontinues Xbox Support · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As a XBMC user on the old Xbox platform, I would like to say thank you to all the code monkeys out there who made that old junky hardware viable for nearly ten years even though it was not the purpose design for the hardware.

    I see this as a great move for the project to disregard the limitations of the original hardware as they revitalize the project to better compete with some of the other Media Center software that has started looking more attractive in the last 2 years.

    Good by Xbox, you had a good run!

  17. Re:All spoofing isn't bad on Mississippi Makes Caller ID Spoofing Illegal · · Score: 1

    I think not, as the law is pretty clear about requiring ...THE INTENT TO DECEIVE, DEFRAUD OR MISLEAD;

    and since your Google Voice number is still a number belonging to you, I doubt it would be a crime to use it as your caller id.
    --
    Ask Slashdot: Where bad ideas meet poor googling skills.

    This would nicely eliminate any of the positive spooking incidents from violating the law.

    Intent to deceive is required and would not qualify under the circumstances you mention.

  18. HIV from african monkeys? on Prehistoric Gene Reawakened To Battle HIV · · Score: 1

    Remember the theories about HIV coming from African monkeys. How does that square with this new-found immunity? Does it work by making the infected monkey just a carrier, without developing AIDS?

  19. Maybe its just me.... Is that a good thing? on A First Look at AMD's M2 Platform · · Score: 1
    The Athlon's architecture provided AMD everything it needed to achieve not only more performance and less heat dissipation, but also more credibility in new customer segments which increasingly soak up AMD's products, according to recent analyst report


    Hmmm and less heat dissippation is good how?

    It's probably just me!
  20. Re:Data security on Newspapers Wrapped in Credit Card Data · · Score: 1

    It would be hella-expen$ive, but if they just extended HIPPA compliance laws to financial info... that would pretty much serve as the wake up call for most of these SLOPPY releases.

  21. Re:Well hell... on Publishers Say 'Fact-Checking Too Costly' · · Score: 1

    Now Now CBS (or any other network) would never publish fake information to intentionally influence an election...

    They were just too busy to pay for expensive fact checking when they can just print/show a retraction later.

    Nothing to see here... Same bull$h!t as always

  22. Re:amoral bastages on Wikipedia vs Congressional Staffers [Update] · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one who doesn't know what a "bastage" is?

    IQ modded -20 for a made up word OR
    IQ modded -50 for spelling AND pronunciation

  23. Re:Not exactly on iPod May Become Next Fair-Use Battleground · · Score: 1

    The problem comes in with the MPAA for your video Ipod... Selling an Ipod + DVD's with the DVD's loaded means you had to break the CSS, which is a violation of the DMCA... and you risk becoming a target by doing so.

    The problem is not the ownership, but the transcoding which required a De'CSS or DMCA trangression.

  24. Re:Stupid. on Who Owns Baseball Statistics? · · Score: 1

    I hereby reserve my rights as a baseball fan. Any attendance statistics for games I have attended will now be subject to royalties of no less than $45.00 US. For seasons with more than 20 games attended we can discuss a lesser fee based on the purchase of those rights at discount for the season.

  25. Beta patches... on Microsoft Taking Longer to Fix Flaws · · Score: 1

    Microsoft does have a problem with the variety of configurations and applications which need to be tested for them to release a patch... but a "beta" patch would enable them to get a fix out for the majority of users in the majority of configurations... while they work to get a final version to test on every known permutation of application and hardware possibilities.

    That would surely speed the "beta" by at least two weeks.
