  1. Pay more, get less ? on Intel Details New Ultrabook Reference Designs · · Score: 1

    Think I'll pass on this

  2. I'll get tarred and feathered for this but on Ask Slashdot: Self-Hosted Gmail Alternatives? · · Score: 1

    have you considered Exchange ?

  3. Wallace v IBM on Finding Fault With the Low, Low Price of Android · · Score: 2

    Shame there is already a precedent that makes his trolling totally irrelevant

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wallace_v._International_Business_Machines_Corp._et_al.

  4. Nvidia 320m equipped mini on OS X Lion Ships With Faulty NVidia Drivers · · Score: 0

    No problems here with Lion so if there is something up with Nvidia drivers its not affecting my machine

  5. Re:What about Win7's "XP mode" ? on Windows XP Market Share Finally Falls Below 50% · · Score: 1

    It's more than a year since that was a requirement.

    Have you never been to windows update to get the patch ?

  6. We get the idea on Why IT Won't Like Mac OS X Lion Server · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    So IT departments may not like apple for various reasons.

    Look at the share price and the earnings. Apple, quite rightly, couldn't care less.

    I don't think it needs an article a day to say what IT departments think of apple either

  7. OS X virtualisation on Will Apple's Lion Roar For Business? · · Score: 1

    IT departments would want to see the Mac OS offering full support for virtualization

    It does offer full support, unless you're too cheap to buy Apple hardware to run it on.

    The whole thing seems to boil down to a whine that the AC submitting can't run OS X on his cheap commodity hardware..

    WAKE UP AC ! OS X is a means to sell Apple hardware because they are a hardware company.

  8. I saw a clincher for me on Apple Adopts Bluetooth 4.0. Could It Reject NFC? · · Score: 2

    If Paypal want to be involved with NFC then I want absolutely nothing to do with it, BT here I come

  9. Re:How about Office on Apple Releases Mac OS X Lion, Updates Air · · Score: 1

    His purchased version of office 2011 needs rosetta to run the installer

  10. Re:Slashdot Ads on Study: Ad Networks Not Honoring Do-Not-Track · · Score: 1

    It's still there for me, your karma must just be shit

  11. Hang on on Microsoft May Add Eavesdropping To Skype · · Score: 1

    So this records voip calls in the same way you can record pots calls ?

    How is this patentable as not obvious ?

  12. Nearly year long ? on Android Phones More Prone To Hardware Problems · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I thought WP7 devices had only been available for about 6 months ?

  13. Interesting Points on A Generation of Software Patents Examined · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The language in the US Constitution says

    To promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries.

    If software patents do not promote the progress of science and useful arts are they not unconstitutional ?

  14. Interesting on The Ugly State of ARM Support On Linux · · Score: 1

    Windows 8 is supposed to be moving to support ARM and now there's an article suggesting that Linux support for ARM is a buggy collection of hacks and tricks. I'd bet money we'll see more of the same from wide ranging sources. When the Muellertroll writes about it we'll know for certain where it's coming from.

    Makes you wonder if you should be paranoid or not ?

  15. Re:IBM = Innovator? Not in my lifetime. on IBM Turns 100 · · Score: 1

    You grew up during the "Personal Computer revolution" and managed to entirely miss that corporate desktop computing is based on the IBM PC ?

  16. Re:I read the summary on Book Review: Drupal Web Services · · Score: 1

    Well shit, I missed that bit.

    Should have been a 10/10 with those extras included.

  17. I read the summary on Book Review: Drupal Web Services · · Score: 4, Insightful

    So, if the summary is correct, it's a six month old book that was out of date a couple of weeks after it was published and it scores 8/10 ?

    Wonder if they have a pile of stock gathering dust that they needed a slashvertisment for ?

  18. Abertay University, Dundee, Scotland on How Citigroup Hackers Easily Gained Access · · Score: 1

    This kind of attack is what they teach in the first term of their ethical hacking and countermeasures course.

    What kind of morons don't programme against something that's so basic ?

  19. It'll never be an option on Could PayPal Be an In-Store Option? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Because they're a bunch of scummy thieves.

    http://www.paypalsucks.com/

  20. Yay ! on Average Gamer Is 37 Years Old · · Score: 1

    I'm finally above average in something !

    That's a good thing isn't it ?

  21. Oblig on Ask Slashdot: Verifying Security of a Hosted Site? · · Score: 1

    Should always be posted when mentioning databases

    http://xkcd.com/327/

  22. Re:I'd rather have a Xoom anyway. on Apple Nixes iPad Giveaways · · Score: 1

    Asus EEE Transformer, same spec and cheaper

  23. Terry Pratchett was right ! on Modeling Security Software To Mimic Ant Behavior · · Score: 1
  24. Interesting to watch on Microsoft Said To Limit Device Makers' Partners · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see how MS do in a market where there is no lockin to office/exchange and where there are already successful competitors in the marketplace shipping very good products.

    This could be one of the few times where MS have to compete on their own merits rather than their usual practice of havings Windows as the centre of everything.

  25. Re:jurisdiction? on US Citizen Visiting Thailand Arrested For Blog Posting · · Score: 1

    Not at all like the USA did ten years ago to a Russian ?
