  1. XPrivacy on Google Cuts Android Privacy Feature, Says Release Was Unintentional · · Score: 1

    You mean not everyone is using XPrivacy already?! Ok, live and learn. Like when I actually first saw an ad in an android phone, mine never shows one.

  2. Re:OpenID on GNU MediaGoblin 0.5.0 "Goblin Force" Released · · Score: 2

    Aren't we confusing OpenID witn MyOpenID ? It seems OpenID is live and kicking.

  3. I still prefer kobo on B&N Releases Nook Tablet To Rival Amazon Fire · · Score: 1

    I still prefer kobo and wait eagerly for the next release.

  4. Re:There are real problems to solve first, Mozilla on Meet Firefox's Built-In PDF Reader · · Score: 1

    You have to be kidding.

    Menu bar, Firefox Menu/Options/Menu bar
    Status bar, Ctrl+/

    You have already been answered about protocol, and I have not seen poor performance, memory usage could be better, but it is clear you are ignorant of Firefox and blowing it out of proportion.

  5. Aren't Oracle and Apache at odds about Harmony on Oracle To Give OpenOffice.org To Apache Incubator · · Score: 1

    Aren't Oracle and Apache at odds about Harmony

    After all, Oracle did all it could to kill Apache Harmony.
    Why would Apache take OpenOffice like that! It may be a trap and it wouldn't be the first time.

  6. Re:Lets face it on Potentially Great Sci-fi Films Still Due In 2011 · · Score: 1

    The near-immortal psychic robot is not part of the original trilogy. Is part of the despicable books that came before to link it to the robots series. (which are less awful that the gaia bullshit that came to illustrate the future after the original trilogy)

  7. You won't be able to see the moon landing site on A Half-Gigabyte View of the Moon · · Score: 2

    Off course you won't be able to see the moon landing site.
    Some will tell you is because of resolution.
    I say it is because New Mexico is not in the moon.

  8. Re:h-t-t-p colon slash slash on What’s the Internet? (on 1994's Today Show) · · Score: 1

    You may be young and not be aware that are other things besides http.
    Back in the day ftp, telnet, gopher, where common stuff, you had to specify to avoid confusion.
    Right now," www" is not even necessary in most of the case.
    Have you ever wondered why this site has the name it has? It is because of the slash slash and the dot (in those days there were more .edu and .org than .com assuming .com was not your first assumption)

  9. it is a contest on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    You don't get it, it is a contest. On who can produce the best greasemonkey script to fix this horror. The winner will get an all web 2.0 no plain html, no unicode, fixed with frames for the rest of his/her life.

  10. Re:Is this really 'do no harm'? on Google Researcher Issues How-To On Attacking XP · · Score: 1

    Wait, are you saying McDonalds is not evil?
    I thought it was the sole responsible for fattening up everybody. That alone makes it more evil than Burger King and Microsoft combined.
    Oh, sorry you are saying that McDonalds could or could not be evil, just not because an employee is evil.
    Hold it, what if the employee robs a bank because of brain damage obtained of all the fat and the "would you like fries" he got at McDonalds?

  11. Re:A Question Is Answered on Food Activist's Life Becomes The Life of Brian · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That does not prevent the idolizing of politicians, individually or as a party.
    President or party Messiah anyone?

    It does not prevent the abuse of the state, just warranties that state has a monopoly on certain kids of abuse.
    School teachers accused of pederasty with immunity of prosecution anyone?

    Not that I don't support "the separation between church and state. Is like separating good and evil." (That comes form a cartoon of wizard of Id, and cannot help but quote it here).

  12. Re:Great, but don't go overboard on Venezuela Bans Hostile Videogames and Toys · · Score: 1

    >Okay, conspiracy theorists. If we are in the "Brave New World", where the fuck is my free drugs and obligatory orgies?

    Haven't you seen the education and the fashion being promoted this days. Anyone advocating against drugs and orgies, is ridiculed. We may not be in "Brave New World" already, but we cannot be far.

  13. You are cutting yourself with the razor on PA School Spied On Students Via School-Issued Laptop Webcams · · Score: 1

    You are cutting yourself with the razor.
    That is not what "Occam's Razor" is or how it is used.

    Occam's Razor is the principle that "entities must not be multiplied beyond necessity".

    Not the principle of doubting the capacity of the media (that should be common sense).

  14. I never publish with EXIF on Mining EXIF Data From Camera Phones · · Score: 1

    I never publish photos with any EXIF.
    There are tons of utilities out there to remove it, I use this: http://www.sentex.net/~mwandel/jhead/

    I still have to silence the cell phone camera. It is annoying.

  15. How do I mark all CAs in Firefox untrusted? on Mozilla Accepts Chinese CNNIC Root CA Certificate · · Score: 1

    How do I mark all CAs in Firefox untrusted?
    There has to be a better way than change each one manually.

  16. Re:Hey Germany on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 1

    That same declaration states: "Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children."

  17. Good I have a Nokia 5530 on Carriers, Manufacturers Are Strangling Android · · Score: 1

    Good I have a Nokia 5530, unbranded, unlocked, prepaid chip. No GPS and no 3G (I have a stand alone GPS for when I really need it and 3G is too expensive).
    I use the wifi to browse, check mail, play music, read books, keep my agenda, some games, light office applications use, and only occasionally the phone features.
    Nokia gets updates from time to time and I can even change it to get the updates of other zones (not officially tough)

    Symbian S60 5th may not be the best of the best. But ranks in the top 5. And for 150USD it cost me less than my previous phone.

  18. Re:Scummy... on AT&T Suggests To 300K Employees To Lobby the FCC · · Score: 1

    You must be new to any government and government like entity.

  19. It is kind of sad to think on Photoshop Disaster Draws DMCA Notice For Boing Boing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It is kind of sad to think that some people will think she looks perfectly normal. Event though they have never seen someone like that, just other adds, tv, etc.

  20. Free speech for corporations? on Corporations Now Have a Right To "Personal Privacy" · · Score: 1

    Free speech for corporations? Either that is not true, or is just for profit corporations.
    The government (in the USA anyway) has a long story of trying to shut down non for profit corporations that dare to say that a certain candidate is no good.

  21. It could be worst on Wolfenstein Being Recalled In Germany · · Score: 1

    They could be banning burcas or big crosses, just because they are sons of the "revolution".
    Even if the revolution killed more than any burca or big cross ever has.

  22. Re:I've got an idea on Newly Declassified FBI Docs Reveal Predictive Data System · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It wouldn't work. When have you heard about a political speech and reality having any connection?

  23. Small tires on New Zealander Invents Segway Alternative · · Score: 1

    Small tires do poorly on anything less than really smooth roads.

    I have kids and can see the difference when they are ready and I take the training wheels out. Much less vibration, and faster cornering.

    This may have some positives, but they would hardly outweigh the risk of facing a 2" pothole.

  24. Re:So what? on Murdoch Demands Kindle Users' Info · · Score: 1

    You mean there are people who actually subscribe to paper version newspapers/journals?!?!

    One of the local newspapers here deliver four out of seven days the paper to my door for free!
    And I can read all I care about WSJ thru Google (to by pass the subscription).

    Except for a very very few, I can't think why a regular person would subscribe.

  25. How "scientific" publications work on Should Copyright of Academic Works Be Abolished? · · Score: 2, Interesting
