  1. Re:Dyslexia strikes again... on Theranos To Close Shop (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't read that as "Thanos" but immediately associated this to the villain.

  2. Lame! I get 100GB for 9$ on Verizon's New Phone Plan Proves It Has No Idea What 'Unlimited' Actually Means (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I live in Israel, and I have the 100GB plan of 012mobile. And it's just 30 ILS (around 9$).

    Yay for me!

    Verizon are annoying.. like if you want to sell a device that connects to Verizon, you must get a Verizon certificate for that...

  4. After Dark on Ask Slashdot: What Would You Pay To See Open Sourced? · · Score: 1

    I miss After Dark screensavers so much...
    I installed them in a Windows 98 virtual machine, but it's far from enough.

  5. Ruby's problems on Is Ruby's Decline In Popularity Permanent? (computerworld.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Ruby is not a real gem as some people may think.
    I have learned upon the situation and reached the following conclusions:

    1. Ruby pollutes the program namespace because it introduced a program called "gem". Why couldn't they call it "ruby-gem"? I don't believe they deserve to take the names of two precious stones in the /usr/bin folder.
    2. Ruby on rails always makes me think of a kidnapped girl called Ruby, which is strapped to the railroad, while shouting helplessly.

    Because of these reasons, Ruby is on the decline. And nothing good will happen to Ruby until those problems are resolved.

    Thanks.

  6. That's so expensive - in Israel it costs 10$ on Verizon Ends Smartphone Subsidies · · Score: 1

    In Israel, 4GB/month + unlimited calls costs 10.27$ (39 ILS, at 012mobile.co.il).

  7. Need to see the entire article. on Come Try Out Slashdot's New Design (In Beta) · · Score: 1

    Why can't I see the entire the article in the beta site?

    You had the same problem in the beta mobile site and you changed it so all the story will be shown... so the same should be in the normal site - there is no need to shorten the article. It's already short enough. I want to see all of it so I can quickly skim the articles while reading the articles that interest me. I don't want an extra click just to read the entire article.

  8. But it has no viewfinder on The Camera That's Also a Mac Mini, Or Vice Versa · · Score: 1

    Isn't it a problem?

  9. Re:Uhmm.. Chernobyl? on Google Street View Backpack Now Available To Volunteers · · Score: 1

    I saw that, but it's not as fun as "walking" in the streets of Prypyat.

  10. Uhmm.. Chernobyl? on Google Street View Backpack Now Available To Volunteers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I want to see Chernobyl please.

  11. Boring... they should do Chernobyl (or Prypyat) on Google Maps Updated With Skyfall Island Japan Terrain · · Score: 1

    It's just a bunch of ruins. Not interesting at all.

    I want to see the elephant's foot.

  12. Indeed doesn't work on Bing Translator Adds Klingon · · Score: 1

    "Can I get a hug?" translates into "laH Hugh chaw'a'?"
    and translating it back to English results to: "Breaks can he suffered him?"

    Assuming, ofcourse, that this sentence is translatable. Is it?

  13. What a piece of nostalgy on Resurrecting the Linux Game Tome · · Score: 1

    I think I heard of this site when I first heard about Linux.. probably before 2000. I think I visited it twice in my life. Then and today.
    That's so old.

    And that's one ugly site. I have nothing against those retro photos, but it's a real bad selection of colors.

  14. Set a filtering proxy on Ask Slashdot: Software To Help Stay On Task? · · Score: 1

    At first, I could just disconnect from the internet to get work done.

    But now, since I have to interact with servers on the internet during work, I just set up a proxy which allows me only to connect to the work servers. It's called Privoxy and it can run on windows or linux, and it's easy to enable/disable it.

  15. I use it.. as a Pandora browser on Ask Slashdot: Seamonkey vs. Firefox — Any Takers? · · Score: 1

    I'm kinda addicted to Pandora, so I use Seamonkey just for accessing Pandora.
    I have to use a US proxy in order to access Pandora since I live in Israel and Pandora cannot be accessed outside the US. So I defined a proxy (through ssh SOCKS) in Seamonkey and I use it only for accessing Pandora.

  16. Re:Mila Parkour on MediaFire Restores Virus Researcher's Account But Not Individual Files · · Score: 1

  17. Mila Parkour on MediaFire Restores Virus Researcher's Account But Not Individual Files · · Score: 0

    That girl sounds cool. I wonder why she keeps her picture private!

  18. Re:Not really - they skipped IE support everywhere on Startup Skips IE Support, Claims $100,000 Savings · · Score: 1

    Yea, it's fine w/ me.
    What's not fine is that it took /. two days to notify me by email for your reply.

  19. Not really - they skipped IE support everywhere on Startup Skips IE Support, Claims $100,000 Savings · · Score: 2

    Here's an example of what they are telling their customers:

    IE is becoming a really outdated browser - we can't offer full support for IE, though we do try our best to offer that. IE uses different syntax for CSS than many other browsers, and generally causes problems. It will be nice when everyone stops using it!

    Thanks for using 4ormat, Stefan

    So it implies that IE manages to display most of their content, but thet don't really bother fixing IE-related problems.

  20. Good job Microsoft! on Microsoft Research Introduces Record-Beating MinuteSort Tech · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You are such a good boy. Here. Let me pat you on the head. *pat*
    Now, if only you could play well with Linus.. it'd have made me a much happier father.

  21. Bing and DDG suck on Bing Now Nearly As Good As Google — Says Microsoft · · Score: 1

    I wrote a short story called "It's hard living in Jerusalem during the winter".
    Search engines, can you please help people find it?

    Google: First result.
    Bing: Not found - at least not in the first 250 results. Searching with quotes does help though.
    DuckDuckGo: Miserable failure - even quotes don't help - and it IS supposed to use other search engines.

    So either Bing and DDG suck, or they just hate me personally. Either way, I'm not going to use any of them.

  22. What app, exactly? on Syrian Protesters Roll Out New iPhone Apps · · Score: 1

    I didn't see any application link or name in that article, and a google search leads only to slashdot and that article.

    Did they mean a website, maybe?

    PS: I hope the new ruling party of Syria will be nicer to Israelis than ASSad.

  23. I don't want Flash ads to be replaced w/ HTML5 ads on Adobe Ends Development of Flash On Mobile Browsers · · Score: 1

    I don't like Flash (mostly because of its non-free nature), but paradoxically, I worry what would happen when it dies.

    Currently, ALL the annoying ads are in Flash. So I just block Flash with FlashBlock (and click on the Flash objects that I want to see, which are usually embedded videos). That makes the web very tolerable for me.

    What will I do when Flash dies, and everyone moves to HTML5 ads? Will it be easy to block them as well? I suspect it'll be much easier for publishers to make it hard-to-block ads, now when it's all in the HTML.

  24. That's disgusting on Factory To Make Biodiesel From Chicken Fat · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I know that the exhaust of falafel oil does smell like falafel. So it means that the exhaust of this "biodiesel" will probably smell like fried chicken.

    As a vegetarian, it really disgusts me... (I wonder, though, if this smell is better than regular diesel).

    PS: I am disappointed that the article is so short.

  25. Stop fighting about Israel and help me find a GF on Israel's Supreme Court Says Yes To Internet Anonymity · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Instead of fighting about Israel, help me. I live in Israel but I can't find a girlfriend. I never had a serious relationship.

    So.. is there any cute girl from here who would take me? I'm 34 years old.
