  1. Samsung's agenda on Samsung's First Tizen Smartphone Gets Leaked · · Score: 1

    If you're winding how a Samsung UI and user experience would be under Tizen look at the Samsung Bluray players. This is all about Samsung's content/control agenda and nothing about the user experience.

  2. Free Trade Agreement and file sharing on Tougher Copyright Laws for Australia · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I don't get it - this is a Free Trade agreement - file sharing is the acme of free trading??!

  3. Taliban=Mujahideen=Freedom Fighters? on Former Intel Engineer Pleads Guilty To Taliban Aid · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Can someone help me out here? When the Mujajideen in Afghanistan were bombing and attacking russians and the (then legitimate) Afghan government, with US training and equipment, they were lauded as freedom fighters.

As soon as they started attacking American interests, they suddenly became an evil terrorist organisation. Hmm. Nice logic.

    or maybe $249 yen, $249 francs?

  6. "open standards equals growth" on End of Intel-Pin-Compatible CPUs? · · Score: 0

    When are companies going to realise that open standards equals growth? How about when it starts to be TRUE!

  7. Re:Why can't our politicians be this elegant? on Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing · · Score: 1

    "our" being whose? Why do you assume that everyone reading Slashdot is American? They aren't. It's just this sort of mindset that makes people resent the US

  8. Dont you mean boycott America on Freenet 0.5.1 Released, P2P Network Stabilizing · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    One of the reasons most people hate Americans so much is their assumption that everyone else on the internet / who speaks english, is American. Well, sonny, Slashdot is a global community, and in case you hadn't noticed, the US is pretty much the only country where anything like a majority backs attacking Iraq now. Who sold Saddam the anthrax in the first place? Who funded, armed and trained Bin Laden? and Noriega,....
