  1. Re:Stupid french court on Company Fined €25,000 For Altering Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    It's okay for you to advertise but not me? :/

  2. Management should be the ones executin the process on Is Process Killing the Software Industry? · · Score: 1

    That about sums it up. If they're so keen on doing it their way, then they can do it!

  3. And black humor about Lady Di? on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    I'm not seeing any comments about the death of of Lady Diana either.

  4. Re:One degree beam width? on StunRay Incapacitates With a Flash of Light · · Score: 1

    Or just up the wattage and widen the beam. It's a simple matter of intensity.

  5. Firewire 400 then on A Late Adopter's Guide To USB 3.0 · · Score: 1

    Quote: "USB 3.0 offers roughly double the real-world transfer rates of old-school USB 2.0."

    That puts it on par with Firewire 400. Now that's old school, pre-dating even USB 1.0!

  6. Re:OCD Problem, Not OS on Ask Slashdot: Is the Recycle Bin a Good GUI Metaphor? · · Score: 1

    Agreed, it is purely a personal view that will have negative impact on the company.

    How many people actually get so obsessive in the first place?

  7. Shit, might actually be first valid lawsuit! on MPAA Sues Hotfile for 'Staggering' Copyright Infringement · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Title says it all.

  8. Noscript invokes classic mode? on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    I think Noscript might invoke classic mode by default. It certainly seems much more usable without any javascript at all than previously.

  9. What a strange negative response on Chevron Got North Sea Contract Despite IT Safety Crashes · · Score: 1

    How odd.

  10. More precisely ... on Chevron Got North Sea Contract Despite IT Safety Crashes · · Score: 1

    People like Guy Fawkes because we get to stand in front of a bonfire, singe some eyebrows, and blow stuff up all together.

  11. The Answer on Microsoft Builds JavaScript Malware Detection Tool · · Score: 1

    After 15 years of fixes IE is reduced to merely being the number one attack vector.

  12. It already exists - NoScript on FTC Proposes Do Not Track List For the Web · · Score: 1

    Well, that and the ubiquitous clear cookies on exit.

  13. Why reverse engineered? on CIA Drones May Have Used Illegal, Inaccurate Code · · Score: 1

    I think it's telling that the customer feels the need to go through the effort of reverse engineering when they have already paid for the whole project themselves.

    Sounds like someone got too greedy to me.

  14. Cookie found: id = on Introducing the Invulnerable Evercookie · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work so well without javascript.

  15. More joke material on WikiLeaks Calls For Assange To Step Down · · Score: 1

    Will be interesting to know how much she is being paid for this.

  16. Misused 'Addiction' on American Business Embraces 'Gamification' · · Score: 1

    Oh, I know, lets label it addictive so we can treat them for a disorder ...

  17. April fools already? on Assange Rape Case Reopened · · Score: 1

    Must be 1 April every day at Gawkers.

  18. Of course there's no addiction involved on NCsoft Sued For Making Lineage II 'Too Addictive' · · Score: 1

    If anything it's an obsession.

  19. Re:Virtual Address vs Paging to Disk on Knuth Got It Wrong · · Score: 1

    Spot on.

  20. Delete IE on What Free Antivirus Do You Install On Windows? · · Score: 1

    Solve all your woes in one foul swoop.

  21. Not a turbine either on The World's First Commercially Available Jetpack · · Score: 1

    It's a four cylinder piston engine with two ducted fans attached. For that matter, the other "Jetpack" - http://www.jetpackinternational.com/ is not a jet engine either, it's a rocket engine.

  22. Re:Broken logic on Beliefs Conform To Cultural Identities · · Score: 1

    Most are disinterested. They don't ever read a thing. They just hear loud shouts on the tele and from people they meet. The catch phrases sound cool.

    That's the why of why a smear campaign works. They just accept whatever is loudest most exciting arguments without any thought at all. And certainly don't have pre-standing beliefs.

  23. Broken logic on Beliefs Conform To Cultural Identities · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The problem with that particular subject matter - Global Warming - is that people have already been convinced through a smear campaign that the facts were politically motivated. Result is blinkered, heavy filtering of all input relating to global warming simply because they think it's all lies. Not because of any standing beliefs or "cultural identities".

    And part of that smear campaign has now convinced them that science in general is a political entity and should be treated as if it's just one little pesky politician that needs banished for good.

  24. Also, wrongly named - It's just a solenoid! on Using EMP To Punch Holes In Steel · · Score: 2, Informative

    A better name might be Magnetic Punch. There's nothing amazing about it. They are just magnetising the steel as part of a solenoid. Like a motor or rail-gun.

    And yep, it'll still be forcing the steel through a punch tool. So, burring will still occur. Just a case of speed and strength, no different to any other punch.

  25. Lol, you can't be addicted to an activity on How To Help a Friend With an MMO Addiction? · · Score: 1

    It's just obsessive behaviour is all.
