  1. Re:Can't see the point of the article on One Tenth of China's Farmland Polluted With Heavy Metals · · Score: 1

    >This is a domestic Chinese problem, and it will be solved when the people of China decide to deal with their government one way or another.

    Exccept if they do they'll be slaughtered and no one in the US or EU will say anthing about it. They'll just call it an illegal uprising, done....

  2. Re:How is this news? on OpenBSD 5.0 Unleashed On the World · · Score: 0

    Thanks for the heads up. If I find one I'll be sure to not connect it to network untill I copy everything off the hd.

  4. Re:I'd say that's "mostly" true. on Linux Foundation Releases Document On UEFI Secure Boot · · Score: 1

    >The PC as appliance that just works is really is what "most" PC owners want.

    Actually people just want to own what they bought with out being told what it can and cannot be used for by the manufacturer.

  5. Great probably more reality tv on Original Content Coming To YouTube? · · Score: 1

    no fucking thanks Gimme so god damn good shows. WTF happened to shows like Seinfled, Third Rock From The Sun, Newsradio, Dark Skies, Star Trek spin offs, Space Above and Beyond,

  6. She was debt-ridden on Amazon Bypassing Publishers By Signing Authors Directly · · Score: 0

    From http://kianadavenportdialogues.blogspot.com/2011/08/sleeping-with-enemy-cautionary-tale.html But I was debt-ridden and needed upfront money that an advance would provide.

    Maybe going off topic and I don't know if writing is all she does(http://jakonrath.blogspot.com/2011/03/depression-and-writers.html) but wouldn't having a full time job be a solution to your debt problems instead of leading an "artists" life and if you can't find work locally its time to move on.

  7. Give us acccess to fresh music on Google Working To Launch Music Store Soon · · Score: 1

    Seriously give those that are in their mid 30's or older and who don't have time to explore 100's of sites to find new and fresh music and nice easy way of previewing and buying music.

  9. Re:What distribution left for developers? on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    Been using LMDE for quite a while now and Mint for about 4 years. These days I can't be bothered to figure out how things work and spend hours tracking down possible solutions on forums/groups BUT LMDE has worked qutie well for me as an average user these days. There were a few issues with AWN icons after upgrading but nothing spectacular that wasn't fixed by getting rid of it :)

    Every computer in my house has some kind of Mint flavour installed the only thing the kids complained about was missing Windows only games. Telling them to buy their own computer if they didn't like it solved that issue fast.

  10. I can't be the only one on US Government Seizes Email of WikiLeaks Volunteer · · Score: 1

    to think, why would anyone doing anything anti gov or illegal use a free email server or even keep the emails on the server. Cant be that hard to download all your emails from a hosted server and store them on an encrypted usb drive. Would it have been that hard to pay $20 per year for a shared hosting/vps not on US soil?

  11. On one automotive forum on Ask Slashdot: How Do You View the Wall Street Protests? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    That has to do with trucks, everyone in the in the Wall Street protests thread thinks these people are unemployed, welfare communists. Yes same guys that bitch about the gov and how they are taking away their rights and bringing down the country are calling the ones who are out there trying to get the ball rolling communists from behind their computer screen.

    My view on this is that there needs to be more protests like these. It doesn't matter if these people are unemplayed or on welfare. Its the publicity and if it manages to spark more protests it'll get even more media attention which will being in more protesters.

  12. Re:This just in... on Massive Rare Earth Deposit Found In Australia · · Score: 1

    Dood they have Mad Max and Crocodile Hunter, better not fuck with them...

  13. Re:Hmmm... on Apple Tries To Patent 3rd Party In-App Purchasing · · Score: 2

    A browser is a Program or Application and not an App. See the missing letters. Applications are for big things like computers and laptops, Apps are for small things like phones. Does this make sense now?

  14. Ah yes on Florida School District Begins Fingerprinting Students · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Getting the new generation ready for "Papers please, Comrade" and "If you go nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about" society.

  15. Good luck with that in Canada on Microsoft To Bring Cable TV To 360 · · Score: 1

    ..... They expect Rogers, Bell, Telus and Shaw to let them play in the sand pit? LOL...

  16. They ran out of people to go after on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 1

    They can't possibly go into Africa claiming there some danger there to poor innocent wesatern souls. China is too big so the next enemy is the citizen. After all a free citizen is a danger to a closed society,

  17. Re:Short term thinking on Patent Troll Says Anyone Using Wi-Fi Infringes · · Score: 1

    No if you mutalate him and leave a nice "don't fuck with the consumers" by suing them note.

  18. Re:Lack of news on Conflict Between Occupy Wall Street Protestors and NYPD Escalating · · Score: 1

    Same reason why you won't hear too much about leaked cables or what Michael Geist writes about. If it don't contain sex or a related scandal wont get much attantion from The Province or Vancouver Sun.

  19. Re:Google+ is a success on Google+ Enters Open Beta · · Score: 1

    > I want to follow my friends and relatives, and maybe some pages of my interest (like games, tv shows, bands etc).

    I like to phone and talk in person to my family and friends. Those who refuse to do that with me unless its through Facebook or some other flavour of the month social site can can eat me. So no, Google will not lose search and youtube usage as there are plenty of us who would rather not be the commodity of some website business.

  20. Bob Ross - Happy little programmer painting class on Happy Programmer Day! · · Score: 4, Funny

    A little crimson white and just use the brush to paint in those Happy Little Programmers with white hats here and there. Just layer them for a nice contrast. You can also paint some Happy Little Programmers with black hats using midnight back for some real contrast.
