  1. Interesting... on Resurrected Full-Screen VoIP Phones · · Score: 1

    But with something that will be staying on the desk - why not create software for a computer? Well, I'm sure the company knows it'll make more money by selling hardware, but aren't there programs like this for computers?

    sorry...
    With this service people will also be inclined to purchase more, and more often from them. With that logic, this will result in more purchases from them.

    From the department of redundancy department... I'm brain-dead today.

    Although, people will also feel inclined to purchase small items one at a time, instead of setting up a list of items and then purchasing them all at the same time, which could definitely hurt them.

    How is this offtopic? It's being advertised all over OSTG. A leaderboard advertisement i saw over an hour ago was this very thing.

  5. Re:Guide to Success on Advice for Returning to School After Long Break? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately I can't post as AC (and I'm too lazy to find a working proxy), but I always feel the need to point out when somebody says something based on ignorant and biased views. First of all, I have not yet dropped out of school. I will continue my education until I feel I have done enough. That probably includes at least a Masters degree.

    I was pointing out an obvious perspective. No mocking was done. In no part of my Guide to Success post did I say anything about the asker being a bad person, simply that there are many biased people here who would hesitate to help him out.

    Obviously, due to this comment, and my other comments, due to several moderator's lack of perspective on the English language, today will not be a good day for my karma.

    agh... before you down-mod me let me explain myself. Nevermind, just read it again:

    Step 1: Have a tech job outsourced to you, forcing someone else to find a way to get back into school.
    Step 2: Ask them how they did it.
    Step 3: Expect an answser.
    Step 4: Profit!

  8. Re:Only available in Korea on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    dead pixels do not arrive instantly. they have to die first. that's the reason for the "6 months" that they give... as opposed to something more reasonable for something that would occur right away... like "2 days".

  9. Re:Only available in Korea on Samsung Announces Zero Dead Pixel Policy · · Score: 1

    Yes, because they always know beforehand which displays will end up with dead pixels.

  10. Re:interesting on Single Government ID Moves Closer to Reality · · Score: 1

    yes, i agree with your statement. Just remember the "National security and everything else" part. They can't let anyone and everyone look at everything that they're doing. There is not an efficient screening process to allow honest citizens such as yourself the ability to go places like that to know what you're paying for. They don't know that you're not going to use what you observe for malicious purposes, so they can't let you see it. It's a fact that we all have to live with.

    I'm assuming that with the incredibly intelligent slashdot editors we have here, that the part we should be paying attention to is "contractors." Well, no, i still don't see why this is important news, let alone have anything to do with my rights online.

    I'm not a government employee, and I don't plan on sneaking in to any government building that i'm not supposed to be in. Are you trying to say that we have a right to have illegal access to all government property?

  12. Re:Is he done with his current challenge? on Ken Jennings Gets a New Challenge · · Score: 1

    I think it's just amazing how ignorant people are when they talk about mormons. Do your research, and don't believe what you heard other people say about mormons, cause they don't know what they're talking about either.

  13. Re:iPod ? on Battery-Powered USB Enclosure · · Score: 1

    The iPod lovers who are modding this down need to think about it for a second. 6000 yen is about $55. Tell me where i can get an ipod for that price. Please. I'm not badmouthing the iPod.

    the thing can hold hard drives up to 80 GB in size. Now how much would 80 GB of flash memory cost you?

    I don't think you read the article. Read it, then try to make an intelligent reply. That had absolutely nothing to do with metal tubes.

    They did NOT know they were lying, IF they were lying. This is liberal Bush bashing by the NY times, slanted even MORE to the left by a communist /. editor. Don't believe anything you read on slashdot. It's just never true.

    I want to get modded up insightful for making up a story that either a.) never occured or b.) is based on actual events where only the character names, locations, and events have been changed.
