    Another reason I miss true peer-to-peer messaging systems like Jabber, despite all its shortcomings.

  3. Re:Provocative, but the right thing on Seattle Library Lets Man Watch Porn On Computers Despite Complaints · · Score: 1

    Why? Can you please explain to the rest of us the difference between watching someone commit a sexual act on or off the screen, so far as other library patrons are concerned?

  4. Re:I like their position on Seattle Library Lets Man Watch Porn On Computers Despite Complaints · · Score: 1

    Thank you.

    I see some idiot has already tagged the summary "suddenoutbreakofcommonsense". That tag would be far more appropriate attached to your comment.

    Bump up prices for advertisements?

  11. Re:Europe is broke , Linux to the recue on Spanish Extremadura Moving 40,000 Desktops To Linux · · Score: 1

    It's truly sad that a post like this gets modded down at all, much less "offtopic".

  12. Re:evil is as evil does on Google Consolidates Privacy Policies Across Services · · Score: 1

    Google. They used to do it better. With the gradual removal of useful elements (the '+' operator is the big one and, no, encapsulating search terms in quotes does not work the same).

  13. Re:Three times the height of a jet? on High School Students Send Lego Man 24 Kilometers High · · Score: 1

    Pedantic much?

  18. Microsoft on Microsoft Pushes For Gay Marriage In Washington State · · Score: 1

    At the risk of offending, well pretty much everyone, I'll put this idea forward. This could just be Microsoft trying to win support from liberal groups in order to appear hip. Lord knows they have had many failed attempts at such in the past.

    Just putting it out there.

  19. Re:My GPS equipment. on LightSquared Says GPS Tests Were Rigged · · Score: 1

    This kind of dialogue is what I love about Slashdot.

  24. Re:Et tu, Netherlands? on Dutch Court Forces ISPs To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the way it plays out in real life is that as soon as someone brings up Hitler or Nazis some idiot yells "Godwin!" and everyone is too embarrased to bring it up again, often to the detriment of the conversation.

  25. Re:I'm honestly confused... on LG To Pay Licensing Fees To Microsoft For Using Android · · Score: 1

    None whatsoever.
