  1. Re:Broke for me on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    One clue I'll give you is that it hasn't yet been released, even though slashdot says so. What exactly did you upgrade too?

  2. Re:time on Ubuntu 9.10 Officially Released · · Score: 1

    Well, given that it HASN'T been released yet, that might be a bit premature.

  3. Re:It's a horrendous problem on Study Says US Needs Fewer Science Students · · Score: 1

    I'm wondering when a bunch of scientists will be putting together a study that finds that the U.S. needs less sociologists.

    We looked to the U.S. for advise, and we got Sol Trujilo. Trust me, you guys could be doing worse.

    OK, let's say this is true. I don't see how this negates the original argument, if accidents haven't increased yet technology is becoming more widely used.

    I was thinking a large hammer would do it... or run over the device with a tank.

  7. Re:Robotic Rescue on Skiing Robot May Not Be Useful, But Fun To Watch · · Score: 1

    To me, it sounds like a toy for the Terminator. Check out the following video - I was waiting for him to tell me the robot had a "neural net processor, a learning computer".

  8. Re:It doesn't crash on Microsoft May Be Inflating SharePoint Stats · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Precisely. SharePoint is remarkably difficult to integrate and setup. I blame it on their insistence on using Integrated Security. Anyway, that's just my impression, I'm no SharePoint expert.

  9. Re:Useless on PulseAudio Creator Responds To Critics · · Score: 1

    Who the hell cares? Software gets developed, it's actively worked on in a coordinated fashion (more distros are using PulseAudio all the time) and it gets better. It's called progress, without it Linux distros would stagnate.

  10. Re:who's to blame. on PulseAudio Creator Responds To Critics · · Score: 2, Informative

    Well, if the software calls on a driver, and the driver has a bug and crashes, then it's the fault of the driver. Therefore, fix the driver. Simple! Why is this so controversial?

    He was saying that the bet would be run, except if signed by the Toyota HR manager. Duh!

    More so because he's now dead. An email from the grave?

    You mean that she should form testicles. I'm sure that's exactly what she needs.

  14. Re:Yep on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No, but if you make $9 million in profit and lose $10 million in a lawsuit, then they'll not do the marketing campaign again. Even if they make $12 million from the campaign (doubtful), the return becomes so small that it's not worth them doing any more. Further to this, hopefully the arsehole marketer who came up with the idea loses a job or some advertising agency loses revenue as Toyota moves to another company.

    Oh man... while that post certainly flames on, it makes some decent points. Someone mod it up?

    Uh... they created a MySpace page with all her details! I'm not really surprised she freaked out.

    Oh, incidentally, as she's a female I don't think she really needs to "grow a pair".

  17. Re:Yep on Toyota Claims Woman "Opted In" To Faux Email Stalking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Maybe, but terrifying sure is. Victims of stalking find that they are incapable of doing day-to-day things. The lady had a legitimate fear, she told her friends, then she later was ridiculed for those fears. This is all the fault of Toyota.

    I for one hope that she wins the whole $10 million. Maybe only that way will dumb-ass marketers start *thinking* about what they do!

    Oh the horror! You have the biggest army in the world, and yet - gasp - without guns for citizens you might be invaded! Oh noes!

  19. Re:Wow, that's hypocracy on Apple Takes Action Over Australian Logos · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Believe me, almost all Australians know what Woolworths is, and the very, very tiny percentage of the population who don't know the difference between the Woolworths grocery-inspired apple logo and Apple Computer's Apple logo probably a. don't use computers in the first place, and b. can't afford a computer. So no real threat of market dilution there.

    And yet the Woolworths apple logo looks absolutely nothing like the Apple Computer logo. Nice.

    I stand corrected.

    Just so we are clear, can you tell me where you are getting this information from? I've looked through chapter 119 of title 18 of the U.S. code and I can't see this, but I may have missed something.

  25. Re:What is very sad on Massachusetts Police Can't Place GPS On Autos Without Warrant · · Score: 1

    I've just reread what you are writing, and I'm not sure where you are disagreeing with me. A roving wiretap indeed follows the target, who moves from location to location. That's my understanding. I'm sorry you are feeling aggressive, incidentally, perhaps my comment further down made things worse, I'm not sure. But chill man.
