    I see you have not been to a wallmart recently...

  2. Re:Depends on the energy source duh! on Electric Vehicles Might Not Benefit the Environment After All · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Please show me any battery chemistry that operates at 100% efficiency, either on charging or discharging.

  3. File:/// in the "open location" command in Finder does crash on my Mac 10.8.2

    The same also causes a crash in Safari, but only if you type (paste) it fast enough so that autocorrect does not suggest something before you are done typing.

  4. The key word here is "Support Contract" on Ask Slashdot: How Long Should Devs Support Software Written For Clients? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you have a good enough support contract then the initial fee for doing the work is usually peanuts compared to the support.

    All of this needs to be in writing, as part of the initial contract or else you will have no fun doing support.

  5. Re:I think it's kinda silly on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    I see you are not required to do API programming in Java...

    Look at the function names in the JDBC (or UI barf) parts of the Java libraries. Sometimes you have to call them, or maybe even extend them...

    Forget that... get her a WOW account.

    She will fit right in.

  7. Re:And after Sept 30?? on Apple Offers Free Cases To Solve iPhone 4 Antenna Problems · · Score: 1

    C is extremely unlikely.

    They would need to get FCC and regulatory approval before releasing a modified hardware. The FCC takes longer then between now and September to review the hardware.

    Products being reviewed are public. Nothing has been submitted as of yet.

  8. Re:Old news? on Gene Therapy Restores Sight To Blind · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It seems that you do not appreciate how long it takes to do real research.

    Shhhhh! You are going to get slashdot DMCA-ed again.

    Don't post the secret codes on the intertubes! If we keep them secret then nobody will ever be able to find them anywhere!

  13. Re:HOW DID THE TERMINATORS KNOW KYLE REESE? on Terminator Salvation Opens Well, Scientists Not Impressed · · Score: 1

    Maybe the T-X in T3 told it to look for him?

    Now the question is why didn't it look for him earlier...

  14. I know where they went... on Acorns Disappear Across the Country · · Score: 1

    Every acorn in the entire country is on the one big tree that is over the roof of my house.

    *thunk* Thousands *thunk* of *thunk* them *thunk*. The acorns hitting the roof are going to drive me crazy!

    I've got some really fat squirrels out there.

    Anecdotal, yes, but it does prove that not all the acorns are gone.

  16. Re:Providing you have a flatrate data plan on iPhone App Enables GSM To WiFi/VoIP Switching · · Score: 1

    Who said that the dataplan will be limited to 300megs?

    ATT itself has documents out there saying it will be "unlimited".

  17. The cake on A Few Firefox 3 Followups · · Score: 2, Funny

    "The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later. "

    I guess the cake is a lie ?

  19. Re:Tesla needs to ship a product on Tesla's High-Tech Lawsuits in Silicon Valley War · · Score: 1

    Funny... I've seen at least 3 or 4 Tesla roadsters driving around near Redwood City (CA) on a regular basis.

    Somebody must be getting them.

  20. Re:Watchbird on US To Employ Overhead Spying Domestically · · Score: 1

    Avoiding the technical issues of having an autonomus flying robot that can stun & kill people, the actual story of how politicians would use something developed for military use decide that a modified version could work just as well for domestic use, isn't far from the truth as has been shown here in the UK when a council used the RIPA to spy on a family for a month (including watching them in their house and following them in their car) because they applied for their 3-year old to go to a primary school and the council wanted to make sure the family wasn't cheating the system. Do you have a source for this?

    I've never seen such a device.

    Why does slashdot keep linking to dead blogs?

    The actual test is http://acid3.acidtests.org/ here.

  23. Re:Totally against tiered internet, but on Time Warner Filtering iTunes Traffic? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Errr... They DO pay for it.

    "Bandwidth" (data transmission) is paid for by both the sender and the receiver of data. Apple has an ISP at the data center where they are housing the iTunes servers, they pay for the level of service they recieve. You and I also pay our ISPs for the level of service we receive.

    Everyone is already paying. Tiered internet is just about making some people pay more for the same level of service then other people do.

    Discrimination is bad mmmmmkay ?

  24. Holy Crap! on Telecom Immunity Showdown in the Senate Today · · Score: 1

    I never thought I would see it, but Sen. Barbara Boxter(D-CA) is actually helping the filibuster. :)

  25. Re:Isn't this just Oracle re-branding RHEL 5.1 on Oracle Is Latest To Take On VMware · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yup.

    "Unbreakable Linux" is simply RHEL with a bunch of tweaks to make Oracle apps run better.

    The tweaks are nice, but it is the same OS.
