  1. Which kindle? on I Want a Kindle Killer · · Score: 1

    If you mean the fire series, they are not e-book readers. They are tablets, pretending to be book readers.

    If you mean e-ink, there can be improvements ( color, more reasonably priced larger option )

  2. Re:no thank you apple on Report: Apple To Unveil "Smart Home" System · · Score: 1

    Which is of course totally untrue ( several examples from other actually intelligent responses ). But thanks for playing anyway, and no i dont give out 'participation awards'

  3. Re:no thank you apple on Report: Apple To Unveil "Smart Home" System · · Score: 3, Funny

    Who says this wont be built on an open standard?

  4. For the naysayers on Cambridge Company Unveils 3D Printed "Fruit" · · Score: 1

    Look, this may not be the 'best thing since sliced bread' and seem a bit silly, but most technology advances are incremental. Sure, they still have a long way to go, but if you dont get your ass out on the road you will never get there.

    That said, sure this is news, but not front page material.

  5. When money gets involved on Twitter Capitulates To Governments, Censors Users · · Score: 1

    Your concept of right and wrong change, often in radical ways. Don't want to lose out on major world markets due to some antiqued concept of morality.

  6. Re:Get 10% less fuel economy with E10... on Has the Ethanol Threat Manifested In the US? · · Score: 1

    The point is that you are using domestic fuel.

  7. Threat? Wtf on Has the Ethanol Threat Manifested In the US? · · Score: 1

    What 'threat' ? This guy stoned or what?

    He is also stupid, if he doesn't understand the basic difference in stored energy in 'petrol' and 'ethanol' and cant figure out what a mix of x% will do to mileage ( or doesn't know of this thing called 'Google' that will do it for him )

  8. Re:Ailens on Should We Eat Invasive Species? · · Score: 1

    Who said short term? I didn't.

  9. Re:time served is good as you don't want to be sni on US Gov't Seeks 7-Month Sentence For LulzSec's Sabu · · Score: 1

    That happens every day in the real world too ya know.

  10. Ailens on Should We Eat Invasive Species? · · Score: 2

    lets hope they dont follow that rule when we branch out, after we have used up the earth's resources.

    ( yes i know, that technically in time the earth will recycle everything we dont take with us, but we wont have that sort of time to wait )

  11. Re:time served is good as you don't want to be sni on US Gov't Seeks 7-Month Sentence For LulzSec's Sabu · · Score: 1

    And more room for the mob to grab him and put him in the river without getting caught.

  12. Re:time served is good as you don't want to be sni on US Gov't Seeks 7-Month Sentence For LulzSec's Sabu · · Score: 1

    And not being in prison helps stop that how?

  13. Well, if you cant keep them.. on German Court Rules That You Can't Keep Compromising Photos After a Break-Up · · Score: 1

    Share them ... with everyone ..

    This is bs, you are part owner of the images, restricting your rights is wrong.

  14. Rural Bandwith on FCC Gets Go-Ahead For Plan To Expand Rural Internet Access · · Score: 1

    Is this the slow lane?

  15. Who really f-ing cares? on R Throwdown Challenge · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Use the right tool for the job and stop bashing other tools that were designed for different jobs .

  16. Re:Ramifications on German Court Rules That You Can't Keep Compromising Photos After a Break-Up · · Score: 2

    Yes, we are getting on board the train for a slippery slope. ( well at lest the Germans are, the rest of the world isnt following... yet.. )

  17. If it can be remotely controlled on DARPA Unveils Hack-Resistant Drone · · Score: 1

    It can be attacked.

    The only chance you have is raising the bar so high no one can practically manage it, but never think it *cant* be done or it will bite you in the ass.

  18. Gigabit! Whoohoo! on Cox Promises National Gigabit Rollout; Starting With Phoenix, Las Vegas, Omaha · · Score: 1

    With a shrinking bandwidth cap before they start charging.. No thanks.

  19. "According to scientists" on Studies: Wildfires Worse Due To Global Warming · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Ya, well others say just the opposite. Hell, some say we are all space aliens..

    Being a 'scientist' doesn't mean you are right.

  20. Re:Firefox for elite on Chromecast Support Coming To Mobile Firefox · · Score: 1

    I dont think they care that you personally do or do not have a chromecast nor do they care if you dislike having a feature you dont use. You are clearly not their target market.

    Hate to break it to you, but the world does not revolve around you. You are a minuscule, irrelevant, nothing in the grand scheme of things.

  21. Re: Once again the FSF does not understand on Free Software Foundation Condemns Mozilla's Move To Support DRM In Firefox · · Score: 1

    Legality is the key. Many people want to stay legal.

  22. Re:Lazy people on Fixing the Pain of Programming · · Score: 1

    No, its Slashdot, it doesn't deserve any extra effort, including typo checks.

  23. Re:It's one of many reasons why Adblocking is mora on Malvertising Up By Over 200% · · Score: 1

    On the other hand, if your site can only survive by being paid for with ads, you need a new business model.

    So you would rather them charge you directly?

    That model has worked pretty well for Google too.

  24. Re:Lazy people on Fixing the Pain of Programming · · Score: 1

    Sure you can. I can do all of those, but then again, i'm not a lazy ass. Nothing special other than that tho.

  25. Re:Not really on Grace Hopper, UNIVAC, and the First Programming Language · · Score: 1

    Talking pure CPU speed here, not 'actual performance'
