  1. OnlyCoin dead before birth? on Death Hovers Politely For Americans' Swipe-and-Sign Credit Cards · · Score: 1

    OnlyCoin - was a weird idea anyway, throw away batteries piss me off!
    Also, Canada has been using chips for a few years, with both debit and credit being seperate (to answer some comments about the "rest of the world").

  2. Closed? on BitTorrent's Bram Cohen Unveils New Steganography Tool DissidentX · · Score: 1

    Will it be closed like Bittorrent-sync?

  3. April 1st? on Time For X-No-Wiretap HTTP Header? · · Score: 1

    Someone can't set their date properly? :P

    Indeed, but I'm not too hopefull after this video from Mobile World:

  5. Re:WebApp API on Ubuntu Touch Beats Firefox OS For 'Best of MWC' From CNET · · Score: 1

    I hope they are working on this NOW, it is THE defining factor for this to succeed, it has to become a W3C / RFC standard and be sold as the solution to adopt eventually... maybe in HTML 5.2 or something!

  6. WebApp API on Ubuntu Touch Beats Firefox OS For 'Best of MWC' From CNET · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I just hope that Tizen, Ubuntu, FirefoxOS et al. can agree on a common WebApp API...

  7. HE.net? on Home Server On IPv6-only Internet Connection? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Take a look at Hurricane Electric, they offer free tunnel, dns hosting, etc.
    Oh, and an awesome IPv6 training program for which you can get a t-shirt if you finish it! ;)
    You can be up and running on an IPv6 tunnel from anywhere in 30 seconds!

  8. Black mirror! on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Feel About Recording Your Entire Life? · · Score: 1

    Try Black Mirror S01E03 ;)

  10. Microsoft: king of fallacy on Google Loses Santa To Bing · · Score: 1

    Well, useless fantasy information ending where it belongs? ;)

  11. Re:Dear Ubuntu on Mark Shuttleworth Answers Your Questions · · Score: 2

    Niche toy?
    I suggest you go play with NetBSD, you insensitive druid! ;-)

  12. Firefox OS... on BlackBerry 10 Preview Looks Positive · · Score: 1

    ... or die trying.

  13. Counter point... on German City Says OpenOffice Shortcomings Are Forcing It Back To Microsoft · · Score: 1
  14. Re:Comcast routers on Australia's Biggest Telco Sold Routers With Hardcoded Passwords · · Score: 1

    Not mentionning that Bell forces people to rent a VDSL modem even when they are not their customer! :(

    This is what I've gathered from forums and verified from the latest modem they seem to be shipping for VDSL service:
    http://wiki.reseaulibre.ca/hardware/modem/vdsl/sagemcom/F__64__ST2864/

    If anyone manages to rip Bell's parallel connection from there it'd be nice, though I'm wondering why they are the only one managing the firmware upgrades (and the many backdoors!)

  15. Re:T-Shirt sizes on Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later? · · Score: 1

    hehe, I don't think so, the 10th anniversary t-shirts were a problem as everyone had t-shirt that were way too big... :)

  16. Montréal's party on Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later? · · Score: 2
  17. Re:User ID vs year joined? on Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later? · · Score: 2

    Low ID? :D

  18. T-Shirt sizes on Slashdot Turns 15, What Are You Doing Later? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Please ship the t-shirts somewhat like this:

    10% Small 50% Medium, 30% Large, 10% XLarge

    and not only "large" (or was it XL?) like the 10th anniversary...

    Cheers and happy birthday! :D

  19. Re:Boohoo? on Outgoing CRTC Head Says Technology Is Eroding Canadian Culture · · Score: 1

    Living in Montreal, I kind of agree...
    Though to a (France) French, it's hard to understand the culture unless they're willing to move to Québec for a few years.

    But yeah, the (Québec) French culture is in the art, politics, history, etc.
    Not so much in the roads, houses (where everything is also in imperial units!), food (at least not much), etc. :)

  20. Boohoo? on Outgoing CRTC Head Says Technology Is Eroding Canadian Culture · · Score: 1

    The culture that we have to pay twice as much as 100km south?

    I guess I'll get flamed for this, but the only cultural difference from the US have to be (mildly) claimed by the french, the natives, etc.
    Geographically and linguistically, it's too hard to distinguish if we were to forget about the borders (actually, even for the french and natives in many areas!).

  25. Well, well... on Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I'd rather pay 3$ per memory card than have a DMCA++ / ACTA laws enacted that just screws everything up!
    You can't sue people who have paid a copying tax can you?
