  1. Re:Nice troll on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 3, Insightful

    (Not the OP here.) I presume that it is the Google Galaxy Nexus. Google has not made 4.4 available for the Google Galaxy Nexus.

  2. Re:Their excuse sucks on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 2

    NO. It is certainly NOT fixed. The Google Galaxy Nexus is a product created by Google. It runs stock Android, and Google has not released 4.4 for the *Google* Galaxy Nexus. Don't claim that Google has released a fix.

  3. Re:The solution is obvious on Google Explains Why WebView Vulnerability Will Go Unpatched On Android 4.3 · · Score: 3, Informative

    The *Google* Galaxy Nexus was created by... wait for it... GOOGLE. It runs stock Android. _Google_ has certainly NOT fixed their product.

  4. Re:Amazon Book Price on Book Review: Bulletproof SSL and TLS · · Score: 1

    $48.10 for me.

  5. Re:Tetrahertz on Integrated Circuit Amplifier Breaches Terahertz Barrier · · Score: 3, Funny

    one tretrahertz is not 10^12 Ghz, it is 10^3 Ghz.

    Tretrahertz - the frequency at which trick or treaters visit your house.

  6. WRT-54GL on Ask Slashdot: What Tech Products Were Built To Last? · · Score: 1

    Hardest working: WRT-54GL. 7 years of constant effort.

  7. Re:Great work, done by Americans on Swarms of Small Satellites Set To Deliver Close To Real-Time Imagery of Earth · · Score: 2

    Where are the Europeans? Oh, I don't know... (http://www.astrium.eads.net/, http://www.dlr.de/dlr/en/desktopdefault.aspx/tabid-10008/, http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7114-home-cnes.php)

  8. Newer releases of Firefox work just fine on Ask Slashdot: Life After Firefox 3.6.x? · · Score: 1

    I use the Debian packaged Firefox (Iceweasel) from http://mozilla.debian.net/. It works just fine. I don't understand what all the hooha is about new releases of Firefox.

  9. Re:Is it allowed? on UK Plans Space Based Radar System · · Score: 3, Informative

    There are quite a few space-borne radars. For example, TerraSAR-X, Radarsat-2.

  10. Re:ok, Facebook geeks, help me out... on Facebook, Microsoft Team Up Against Google · · Score: 1

    The signal to noise ratio on most people's wall is a little low. But, I guess that's my opinion. One person's noise is probably somebody else's signal.

  11. Re:Why? on Opera Embraces Extensions For v.11 · · Score: 1

    Are you saying that you don't have a use for it (the humourous interpretation), or you think that implementing it as an extension is the wrong way to go (the serious interpretation)? I do think that it would be best if Zotero was a browser independent web application, although I'm not sure how that would be implemented.

  12. Re:Why? on Opera Embraces Extensions For v.11 · · Score: 1
  13. Zotero on Opera Embraces Extensions For v.11 · · Score: 1

    I'll consider switching to another browser when Zotero is ported.

  15. Real-time statistics on Cell Phone Group Sues San Francisco Over Radiation Law · · Score: 1

    Why not just have the phone display (on the screen) the real-time transmit power level? That would be much more useful than some arbitrary number on the label.

  16. OpenCourseWare on Help Me Get My Math Back? · · Score: 1

    Try MIT OpenCourseWare.

  17. Consumer electronics on Use Open Source? Then You're a Pirate! · · Score: 1

    I suspect that the consumer electronics companies that are using open source software may be slightly upset about being classed as a pirate.

  18. Re:Tabs on Mozilla Thunderbird 3 Released · · Score: 2, Interesting

    You could try the Copy Sent to Current Add-on for Thunderbird.

  19. Re:Linux fall very short on backwards compatiblity on The Importance of OS Backwards Compatibility · · Score: 1

    2.4 is still supported (http://www.kernel.org).

  20. Re:It makes sense on 42 *IS* The answer to Life, the Universe and Zeta · · Score: 1

    Only a million to one chance. Virtually a certainty.

  21. Debian on Disney to Make Toy Story 3 Without Pixar · · Score: 2, Funny

    On the positive side, at least Debian will have some new names from which to select :)

  22. Capsella on Classic Toys For Christmas? · · Score: 1

    I always liked my Capsela sets, although I don't know if children still play with this.

  23. Vote your conscience on Pre-Election Discussion · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I want to encourage everybody to vote their conscience. IMO, it will be terrible if GWB gets re-elected, but even worse if democracy fails because people vote for principles with which they do not agree. If the Democrats can't win an election based on their principles, then they don't deserve to win (part of the definition of democracy).
