  1. Probably will screw it up again on Blizzard Set To Debut 'Something New' At PAX East · · Score: 1

    They take a good game and mess it up. Wonder what they will be doing this time

  2. Re:Really? on Oxford Temporarily Blocks Google Docs To Fight Phishing · · Score: 5, Funny

    Expel them for being too stupid to be in Oxford

  3. Re:I'm confused on Linux 3.8 Released · · Score: 1

    Yep, great stuff

  4. This is a great example of a law on HR Departments Tell Equifax Your Entire Salary History · · Score: 1

    that needs to be made but probably never will.

  5. Meh. Hybernation is overrated on New Secure Boot Patches Break Hibernation · · Score: 0

    Who needs it anyhow, hehehe.

  6. Ascii Express and/or AppleNet on What Early Software Was Influential Enough To Deserve Acclaim? · · Score: 1

    Two telecommunications packages that did were very influential in the early days

  7. Pain on 'Gorilla Arm' Will Keep Touch Screens From Taking Over · · Score: 5, Informative

    It hurts like hell to use a touch screen for hours.

  8. Customer Service on Google Axes Free Google Apps For Businesses · · Score: 1

    'We're not serving them well,' he said of the free users.
    Well, now they won't be able to serve them at all.

  9. Re:vBulletin on Ask Slashdot: What Is the Best Way To Add Forums To a Website? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I would recommend vBulletin also. The skins are a bit difficult to work around but that is rather common. I run two different forums with about 10k users a peice. No troubles at all and vBulletin does have some pretty good technical support.

  10. The Cost on Maybe With Help From Google and Adobe, Microsoft Can Kill Windows XP · · Score: 2

    The cost of upgrading from XP can be prohibitive. I work part time for a small market radio station. Just to replace the OS it is $150 a pop. There is the new version of the automation software that will not work with XP, that is an additional 15K. The new software won't work with the old servers so add 4-5K on that. Then there are the little things. Adobe Audition1 is a great product! Doesn't work so well on 7. That's another $350 a pop Some business just can't afford it yet.

  11. Mistake for Oracle to do this on Is MySQL Slowly Turning Closed Source? · · Score: 1

    If Oracle does close out MySQL it would be a very bad move to public image. It was a mistake to sell MySQL to them in the first place. As it is right now, I cringe when I see the name Oracle because I know it is a product I don't want to deal with.

  12. Strange how this is just now being sensationalized on Companies Advise Tighter Security After Honan Hack · · Score: 1

    Many more people have gone through what Mat Honan has or even worse, yet nothing was done before. I find that strange.

  13. I find it amazing. on IFPI Won't Share Pirate Bay Damages With Musicians · · Score: 1

    This whole lawsuit is very similar to someone suing the telephone company for listing a gun shop in the yellow pages that sold a gun to someone who murdered someone.

  14. Work intrusion on Gadget Addiction or Work Intrusion? · · Score: 1

    You should not have to answer that phone 24/7/365

  15. Let him sell his stuff on App Developer: Android Designed For Piracy · · Score: 1

    If he wants to sell his stuff, let him. If others what to give thier stuff away, let them. It is after all, thier stuff to do with what they please. Simple I think. No need for him to get so bothered about it.

  16. Thank god on The Decline of Google's (and Everybody's) Ad Business · · Score: 2

    The ads were getting a bit overwhelming. Maybe this will mean less of them.

  17. Secret agenda perhaps on Reports Say Apple Is Shrinking Its Docking Connector With iPhone 5 · · Score: 2

    Watch them stop manufacturing the current connector as a way to make us all "upgrade".

  18. This is hardly suprising on Spooky: How NSA's Surveillance Algorithms See Into Your Life · · Score: 2

    It is quite certain that what we concider privacy has long been done away with, even in venues such as wiretapping which is still suppose to be done by court order only.

  19. Al Gore on Correcting the Record: the Government's Role In the Internet · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    So it wasn't Al Gore?

  20. This is getting old on Aussie Judge Declares Apple-Samsung Patent Battles "Ridiculous" · · Score: 1

    How much longer will it be before the public stops equating these name brands with lawsuits instead of electronics? As it is right now when I see the name "Apple" in print I cringe.

  21. Rest well Sally on Sally Ride Takes Her Final Flight · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Rest well Sally. Sorry you passed away because of such a horrible condition. You did good maam.

  22. Population growth on World Population Grows Beyond 7 Billion · · Score: 1

    It is a very significant possibility that at this growth we will be starving ourselves to death. There is only so much to go around. The question is, how many and who?

  23. Digg has dug on Digg.com Sold To Betaworks For $500,000 · · Score: 1

    Digg has dug themselves a grave with the new advertising format. Maybe now they will go away.

  24. No on Is It Time To End Our Love Affair With the QWERTY Keyboard? · · Score: 1

    No

  25. Oracle and Java on Oracle's Latest Java Moves Draw Industry Ire · · Score: 5, Insightful

    With Oracle responsible for Java, is it even worth it to learn the language any more? I mean they will be killing it off soon.
