  1. Re:Disable is disabled on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 3, Informative

    Uninstall updates on those apps first. Then it will let you disable them.

  2. Re:Canon or Nikon on Ask Slashdot: Best Camera For Getting Into Photography? · · Score: 1

    The autofocus seems to take roughly same time on the one's I've had in the last 6 years

    This is the reason why missus doesn't use our point-n-shoot anymore. When you are taking pictures from kids SLR is clear winner since you get picture taken when you want it, not when the camera has pondered the situation enough and situation is allready over....

  3. Re:you missed Sony on Ask Slashdot: Best Camera For Getting Into Photography? · · Score: 1

    I guess it's intentional... You never know when Sony declares that pictures you take gear manufactured by them is their property.

  4. Re:Work Experience on Go For a Masters, Or Not? · · Score: 1

    Funny.... I Don't have ANY degree but ~10 years experience on networks. Last time I was employed they clearly said that they don't care about degrees, all they cared was what I'm REALLY capable to do. Show me a person who can work out of college/university with all of Cisco/Juniper/Extreme... There is a slight difference with academica and real world. Coding might be different story but most gifted coders I have seen haven't been graduated either.

  5. Re:You are missing the point. on American Red Cross Sued For Using a Red Cross · · Score: 2, Funny

    J&J is going up against the Geneva Convention and International law. They are is not going to win this. That's easy one. J&J is going to declare ACR as enemy combatant.
  6. Re:Circumventing Copyright is a bit of a stretch on Blizzard Officially Files Against WoW Glider · · Score: 1

    The ONLY way for blizzard to make the problem go away is to remove the requirement to grind every character up to lvl 60 or 70. My suggestion would be to give people the ability to create alternate characters starting at any level UP TO the level of their highest character. So if you've got a level 52 mage and you've decided mages suck and want to play a warrior, you could create a new warrior character at any level between 1 and 52.


    That wouldnt help a bit since 99% of bot users are using it to farm gold and materials. Havent seen any bot's in lowbie areas but areas with low drop rate materials used to be full of bots.
  7. Eh... on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    If you need to ask it on slashdot. It's propably better if you dont vote.

  8. Re:Possibility on PS3 Japanese Estimates Down, No 360 Price Drop · · Score: 1

    PS2 sucked as DVD player. If you are a movie buff you will buy decent Blue-Ray player for same price.

  9. Re:slashdotted on Microsoft Banning 360 Firmware Modders? · · Score: 1

    That wouldnt make sense since on X360 Harddrive is external addon and easily replaced.

    In slashdot patents are evil. Unless they are owned by Apple.

    Battlefield 2142 isn't Vista only. How about even trying to find out facts before start rantting about MS's Evil Empire.

    Quotes from Windows XP EULA.

    Funny. I have always thought that granting licences to something that you dont own is considered as a fraud.

  23. Re:Detection not possible for LCD TVs ? on New Fee For Internet-Capable PCs In Germany · · Score: 1

    In Finland we have a similar system. Funny point is that you don't have to tell em if you have TV, thought bureau which runs these inspections tries to upkeep a myth that you are required to let em search your house for TV's. Inspectors are normally off duty cops and there have been some cases where they have presented themselves as polices so people should let em in. Even thought finnish law won't even give the right to perform searches on cases like these to on duty cops.
