  1. Update to the article: on Google Charging OEMs Licensing Fees For Play Store · · Score: 1

    "This article was amended on 24 January 2014 to reflect a clarification from Google that it does not charge manufacturers for Android licenses."

  2. Re:Photographic prints! on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 1

    Thank you!

  3. Re:Photographic prints! on Ask Slashdot: Best Option For Printing Digital Photos? · · Score: 1

    Do you have to have a Costco membership to get photos printed there? How much is that per year?

  4. Ad for Fossil watches on Recreating a Mysterious, 2,100-Year-Old Clock · · Score: 2

    The ad I see at the top of the page is for Fossil watches. ;-)

  5. Re:Single biggest frustration for many coders on Manager's Schedule vs. Maker's Schedule · · Score: 5, Funny

    as do slashdot threads. :-P

  6. Re:Soo.... on Doctors Baffled, Intrigued By Girl Who Doesn't Age · · Score: 1

    You are absolutely right, but I have yet to see a viable alternative.

  7. Re:Other virtual worlds give different results on Researchers Find Racial Bias In Virtual Worlds · · Score: 1

  8. Re:Serious FERPA Violation on Gmail Reveals the Names of All Users · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's only partially correct. A school can release directory information, including name, and dates of attendance unless the student opts out. http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/guid/fpco/ferpa/index.html

    I wouldn't want other students out there thinking that they are automatically protected. They do have to actually DO something to have directory information protected under FERPA.

  9. Re:Better late than never on Bell, SuperMicro Sued Over GPL · · Score: 1

    Even more to the point, it was 7 days before it got it posted on slashdot.

  10. I gained weight because I quit smoking... on IT Workers Are Getting Fatter · · Score: 1

    I've been riding my bike to work to help turn the tide, but my main problem is just that food tastes so good! I'm sure the high stress and weird hours that many IT workers endure don't help either.

  11. Re:That's why Open-Source fails on the desktop on Pidgin Controversy Triggers Fork · · Score: 1

    I use it on Windows and Linux. AFAIK it isn't available for the Mac, but Adium is built from the same codebase and is excellent on Mac.

  12. Re:In the words of Stan Marsh on Teachers Fake Gunman Attack · · Score: 1

    I stationed in Okinawa a number of years back. We were in TC-1E and not allowed to leave the barracks. A fire-alarm went off. We gathered in the hall. Thankfully, it was a faulty alarm, or we would have had to make a choice.

  13. Re:Slow? on Kororaa Releases XGL LiveCD · · Score: 1

    It's not just you. Window resizing is slow on my laptop too. It's a 3.2GHz Dell XPS with 1GB of RAM and an ATI Mobility 9800 w/ 256MB.

  14. Re:Lawyer Lives Stereotype on Infamous Emails Don't Always Kill Careers · · Score: 1

    She's living off her father's trust fund, not in his basement. That makes it hard for nerds to sympathize with her.

  15. Re:Must be said! on Build a Homemade Media Center PC · · Score: 1

    agreed...$140 for a Hauppauge PVR500 sure beats $2200. My secondary computer's Athlon XP 1800+ (1.6 GHz) is way more processor than I need to run MythTV, because the Hauppauge has hardware MPEG2 encoding. I've tried SageTV under Win XP with this card too. While MythTV may be a little harder to set up, it is definitely a better product. It is more customizable, uses less CPU, and costs $80 less. I see that SageTV now offers a Gentoo-based Linux option. Too late, it's back to MythTV for me.

  16. Re:Myth TV Is Great -- If you can set it up on Build a Homemade Media Center PC · · Score: 1

    Did he use FC4, the excellent instructions at http://wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php, and Axel's excellent RPMs? It does take some time. It probably took me about 10-12 hours to get everything set up the first time.

  17. Re:Try ndiswrapper on State of WLAN Support on Linux? · · Score: 1

    Really? Fedora went to 4k stacks a while back and yet the people at livna have a working ndiswrapper module available. I remember 4k stacks breaking the proprietary NVidia drivers for a while, but I believe those are working fine now too.

  18. Heh on Yahoo's Geek Statue · · Score: 1

    Perhaps we should educate the rest of the Slashdot readership.

    Yeah, good luck with that. You do read the same /. as the rest of us, right?

  19. For that kind of service... on Slashback: DRM, MPAA, ADSL · · Score: 1

    For that kind of service I just might expatriate myself to France too.

  20. Re:You mean tell the boss the dump windoze? on Network Penetration Scans and Executive Reaction? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Could we get some IPs? We would like to independently verify your assertions.

  21. Re:Gmail on Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets · · Score: 1

    I take that back. They seem to be doubling storage to 2 GB.

  22. Re:Gmail on Man Sells Baby to Pay for Gadgets · · Score: 1

    gmail really is 1 today. No you don't get more storage.

  23. Timeline is a little wrong. on IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray · · Score: 5, Informative

    IBM filed this motion on Jan 19. The actual subpoena was signed by IBM's attorney on Jan 13. SCO's motion for more discovery was granted Jan 18.

    The blurb for this story is a little misleading. IBM planned to do this and may have even already had the subpoena executed by the time SCO's motion was granted. The timing was coincidental not causal.

  24. Let's settle this once and for all... on LAMP Grid Application Server, No More J2EE · · Score: 1

    Why don't we have the good guys here at /. find some enterprising J2EE coders to redo /. as a J2EE application. If it takes more servers to run the J2EE app then LAMP wins. If it takes less servers to run the new /. then J2EE wins. End of discussion.

  25. Re:Probs before PR on Is Firefox 1.0 Less Stable than Firefox PR1.0? · · Score: 1

    such that it doesn't try to absorb all the system's resources

    Try explaining that to the people that designed Java.
