  1. Its all relative! on Baltimore Issued Speed Camera Ticket To Motionless Car · · Score: 4, Funny

    From a point of view at the center of the solar system that car was moving at 30 km/s!

  2. I tell my kids he uses Apple maps. on Google Loses Santa To Bing · · Score: 5, Funny

    And that's why no presents, he got lost.

  3. Re:Why is this on Slashdot? on UT Professor Resigns Over Fracking Conflict of Interest · · Score: 2

    Because water is an ingredient in Mountain Dew and Red Bull, and contaminated water could effect the taste.

  4. Re:The end on Zero Day Hole In Samsung Smart TVs Could Have TV Watching You · · Score: 2

    Most Computer monitors these days max out at 1920x1080

    No, those are TVs rebranded as monitors.

  5. Re:The end on Zero Day Hole In Samsung Smart TVs Could Have TV Watching You · · Score: 1

    A modern TV is just a big computer monitor.

    With poor resolution and a crap computer permanently attached to it.

    If you where the CEO of a competing pizza company and posted that you ate 4 pizzas at Dominos, then yes it could be actionable and effect stock prices.

  7. Re:in other news on Other Solar Systems Could Be More Habitable Than Ours · · Score: 1

    Well... big compared to what? That's the major issue, when you get into talking about the size of the universe, if it ends, what is outside of it, you start to get into murky waters. To make things even worse, we are very limited in our ability to comprehend things. Just as there are an infinite number of points in a line, lines in a plane and planes in a cube, there is an infinite amount of time and 3D space in the smallest possible amount of fifth dimensional space.

    No we wont. We may SAY we will, but we cant be bothered.

  9. Re:This isn't surprising on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It goes even further then what the original poster says, I wrote a shareware HTML editor a long time ago when such a thing was a novel idea. It gained a fair amount of attention, even being put on the cover cd of various computer mags. However, as soon as it was put on a cover CD in Germany, a crack was released. No one ever paid for it, despite millions of downloads and constant use. I still to this day get support requests from people claiming to have a legit copy.

  10. Re:Even if this was true... on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The ARM CPUs are aimed at more of the low power consumption model that the old VIA CPUs targeted with the mini-ITX form factor. Which you may recall, used CPUs soldered to the motherboard. Its a different market space, where the motherboard and CPU have been combined for many years now without any world shattering consequences.

  11. Re:250$ buys you a lot of netbook... on $250 Chromebook With Ubuntu Linux Is Very Fast · · Score: 1

    Hum... I guess most netbooks do use Atoms at this point. My point however was that it would have been nice to throw a more "standard" Intel CPU into the chart so people have a basis for comparison. I frankly dont know what those CPUs perform like and I don't think I'm alone.

  12. 250$ buys you a lot of netbook... on $250 Chromebook With Ubuntu Linux Is Very Fast · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    First off, that is an ugly web site. Their font choices are just bad. Second, they only compare the performance to simular system configurations rather then a regular Intel CPU based netbook. Makes it hard to determine if the performance is actually good without a frame of reference people can relate to.

  13. Re:hunting? on Activists' Drone Shot Out of the Sky For Fourth Time · · Score: 1

    In most of the world, they are considered a delicacy. In the US they are considered to be flying rats.

  14. Re:Idea on Windows 8 Sales Below Projections · · Score: 5, Insightful

    As a developer, I feel the job of the OS is to launch applications and then get out of the way. This is something Windows 8 fails at.

  15. Re:Hmmm on Cisco To Buy Meraki For $1.2 Billion · · Score: 4, Funny

    They would just change the interface to make it harder to eat and then sue all the other high calorie snak makers for patent infringement.

  16. Re:it's not really just storage on Ask Slashdot: Data Storage Highway Robbery? · · Score: 1

    Yea, I was gona post much the same thing. Salesforce is not like dropbox. In addition to the stuff you listed the extra storage is redundant, backed up, and can be replicated into sandbox environments.

  17. Re:Nice guy! on CyanogenMod Domain Hijacked · · Score: 2

    Sure, he's a jerk. But he cant really hold something he owns hostage. This is often the issue with community organizations. Without proper structure you end up with some random member owning chunks of the system.

    So its was another McAfee false positive?

  19. Authenticator is not a Blizzard product... on Blizzard Sued Over Battle.net Authentication · · Score: 5, Informative

    It is made by Vasco and is sold in large quantity orders for around 6.50$, which is the same as what Blizzard charges for it. The idiot in question is basicly claiming Blizzard sold 400,000 Authenticators at a 100% profit margin.

  20. What shutter? on Pull Lever, Don't Snap Shutter: It May Be Illegal To Post Your Ballot · · Score: 2

    In many places it is illegal to bring any sort of electronic device into the voting booth.

  21. Re:So... just like Google? on Microsoft-Built Smartphone Could Irritate Hardware Partners, Harm Nokia · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Difference is that Android phones can actually differentiate themselves. Microsoft phones have very little latitude in hardware design, so there is next to no difference between phone A and phone B. So an Android phone Google is not going to be much like a Samsung Galaxy Note III, but a Microsoft phone will be a lot like a Nokia.

    Only cloud businesses where the customers willing give up the rights to hosted content, such as with Megaupload.

    Yep, they want all the functionality of a bank, but none of the regulation.

    So they want to be a bank! <zing!>

  24. Re:PayPal is not a bank on PayPal Security Holes Expose Customer Card Data, Personal Details · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They only operate like one when the users treat them like one, the same can be said for the corner store that offers a credit tab. I use Pay Pal, but never keep money in them, or do direct bank transfers to them, or accept their offers of credit.

  25. Why bother? on IEEE Standards For Voting Machines · · Score: 4, Insightful

    When Texas and Iowa are threatening to arrest election monitors, standards are not the issue.
