  1. F-16 Viper? on Air Force Claims To Have Solved Fatal F-22 Oxygen Riddle · · Score: 3, Interesting

    It's unusual to have the F-16 referred to as Viper in articles like this. I had to look it up and indeed, it seems to be a common and old nickname for it. I think it suits the aircraft better than the "Fighting Falcon".. I never understood why they had to put the "Fighting" in the name.. wasn't Falcon enough?

  2. LTE – iPhone's downfall too? on RIM CEO On What Went Wrong · · Score: 1

    Yeah! It's LTE's fault. Really, that's why iPhones are selling so badly oh wait! No, they are not selling badly at all!

  3. Re:License for mobile phones on Samsung Blames Galaxy SIII Burn On "External Energy Source" · · Score: 0

    Ah! You hint to a belief that those who buys iPhones are techically challenged, and if they were to be banned from buying Apple products Apple would suffer. No, that's probably not accurate. Thanks for playing.

  4. Re:Intel: 59% of market on PowerVR To Make Mobile Graphics, GPU Compute a Three-Way Race Again · · Score: 2

    You can surely dominate in other respects than market share, no? Look att Apple who completely dominated the cell phone industry from the day they released the iPhone, with exactly 0% market share. Domination can be measured in the means others take to counter the attack. Everyone scuttles against Apple or is about to perish. nVidia and AMD surely dominates the desktop GPU market before Intel since it'sIntel that's playing catch up in means of power and features.

  5. Re:Standard speed == 3.5 GHz on Intel Ivy Bridge Processor Hits 7GHz Overclock Record · · Score: 2

    Yeah because Hz == Hz? Hmm.. welcome to the MHz Myth. You probably haven't heard of it, but you should. It's like this: Hz a measure of steps per time, like counting number of steps mer minute taken by someone who runs. Imagine a short person and a tall person that take an equal number of steps. Who runs the farthest? The tall man or the short man? Pentium 4 or a Ivy Bridge Core i7? It's not your 10 year old Pentium4.. In case you cot lost in the lesson somewhere.

  6. Re:couldn't they just do this with earth based? on Hubble To Use the Moon To View Transit of Venus · · Score: 1

    Hubble's sensors are made to detect faint stuff that Earth based telecopes just can't detect. Hubble's sensors will fry immediately.

  7. There is a point on Some USAF Pilots Refuse To Fly F-22 Raptor · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There is a point for the F22, and that is to suppress all other power's desire to make stuff that will encounter it. That's why the US have nuclear weapons, not to use them but to deter others from using such weapons agains them. So.. it very well might be well spent money.. but we never know, since we won't see the stuff that the F22 is designed to encounter..and that's the point.

  8. Just the WiFi version on Apple Quietly Updates iPad 2's Processor · · Score: 5, Informative

    This only applies to the WiFi version, called iPad2,4. The CDMA and 3G versions are still using the older 45 nm version of the A5 processor.

  9. A sensible follow up on Botched Repair Likely Cause of Combusting iPhone After Flight · · Score: 2

    I think it's extremely pleasant to read a relevant follow up of a previous article. In this day and age where hysterical or sensational trolling is the main reason for publishing any news items, a calm and sensible follow up where the facts are laid bare is rare. Kudos to Slashdot.

  10. Re:Confirmation on Nokia Sues HTC, RIM and Viewsonic · · Score: 2

    You don't think that Nokia's recent win against Apple where they settled their disputes has anything ti do with it? It just might be that Nokia's satisfied with what they got from Apple's iPhone which is more than they get from their own smartphone business.

  11. Re:Will Googorola sue them? on Mozilla To Support H.264 · · Score: 1

    Microsoft says it pays and pays more that it receives, and they have stuff in the patent pool too http://blogs.msdn.com/b/ie/archive/2010/05/03/follow-up-on-html5-video-in-ie9.aspx. So that probably is the case for Apple too.

  12. Why was it confidential? on Confidentiality Expires For 1940 Census Records · · Score: 2, Insightful

    OK it's somewhat sensitive information, but why was it confidential for so long?

  13. Only one question though on Garden Gnome Tests Earth's Gravity · · Score: 1

    Will Kern blend?

  14. Re:Will Googorola sue them? on Mozilla To Support H.264 · · Score: 1

    Yes, Apple is paying for each download.. up to a cap of $6.5 million annually. Google payed 125 million for On2. That's 19 years worth of h.264 licenses. Money google probably will have to pay anyway.

  15. Google on Defending Your Cellphone Against Malware · · Score: 1

    This artichle seems to be solely about Android and it's not that surprising since it's the operating system from the company whose business model is to sell your personal information to everyone who wants it. The users of Android are the advertisers, you are a part of the product packaged by Google for the OEMs and carriers. Welcome to the open!

  16. Re:Dubious on Intel Medfield SoC Specs Leak · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What RISC platform did XP, Vista and Windows 7 run on? XP had support for Itanium, but that's not a RISC platform. Vista and Win7 only support 32- and 64-bit x86. So.. It seems you are wrong in your statement.

  17. Re:Win for Xiph (and open source) on Siri Protocol Cracked · · Score: 1

    Error's corrected. All is well. Have a nice day :)

  18. Re:Win for Xiph (and open source) on Siri Protocol Cracked · · Score: 1

    Xiph didn't create FLAC, Josh Coalson did, two years prior to it being included in the OGG cluster of codecs by Xiph.

  19. SCO resulted in some good on SCO Zombie Creaks Into Motion Again · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The whole SCO story isn't all bad, perhaps not bad at all. It has resulted in some pretty important stuff like auditing the Linux code for copyrighted stuff, keeping developers and contributors honest to the code, and really putting these legal issues to test so the rules are clear and hardening Linux while showing that it is a serious player and that large companies can get involved. Linux as a project is absolutely better off for it. Hard times makes does that to stuff, if it doesn't kill you. I thing the battling with Apple will result in the same thing: Less copying/imitating/plagiarism and more innovating. That's what we want, isn't it? New great products, not more of the same?

  20. Did I miss something? on Sony Buys Ericsson Out For $1.47 Billion · · Score: 1

    When did Microsoft or Apple buy their smartphone partner? How is this a page out of their play books? Why is Apple or Microsoft mentioned in this article? Everything isn't always about them.

  21. Re:Funny thing about this Siri business.... on Google Improves Android Translator To Battle Siri · · Score: 1, Informative

    The problem with everything you mentions is that it can be awesomely great, but fundamentally useless if no one knows that it excises at all. I didn't know Google have any speech services, nor Microsoft. I do however know that Apple has, so what Apple have done is useful for me. What Google or Microsoft has done was impossible for me to use, since it was unknown to me.

  22. Re:Pot meet Kettle, Black? on Google Accused of "Cooking" Search Results and Charging MSFT Too Much · · Score: 1

    Google does not have a monopoly, get over it already.

    Ha ha ha! You made a funny!

  23. Re:Prior art on German Court Upholds Ban On Samsung Galaxy Tab · · Score: 1

    A picture frame from Samsung isn't a computing device, so there was no trademark infringement prior to the iPad.

  24. Lots of OSes to pick on HTC Considering Buying Own OS · · Score: 4, Interesting

    There are several cool zombie like OS:es that is ripe for resurrection: AmigaOS, MorphOS, Plan 9 and Haiku. One could even put an OpenStep foundation on top of any of these or something more conventional OS like Linux or xBSD and tap some similarities with iOS.
