  1. Someone might make a cool application for it.

    That's definitely not Apple's way of doing things.
    Not saying that's good or bad; it just not how they work.

  2. Re:At this rate on Twitter Shuts Down JSON API and Names New CEO · · Score: 1

    He *IS* an extremist. That doesn't mean he isn't right about some of the things he says.

  3. http://careers.stackoverflow.com/jobs?allowsremote on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Find Jobs That Offer Working From Home? · · Score: 1

    That's how I got my current job.

    The catch is that you are competing with all the best developers in the world, so you'd better be very good.

  4. You bastard! I was reading Slashdot from Skype!
    Now I have to throw away my computer and buy a new one.

  5. If Steve Jobs was still around... on Users Report Warping of Apple's iPhone 6 Plus · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He would tell the users they are not supposed to put an iPhone 6 Plus in their pockets.

  6. "wild, teeth-gnashing rants" on Choose Your Side On the Linux Divide · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but this reminded me of http://xkcd.com/1095/ :-)

    (I gotta say, I use MacOS and Windows more than Linux these days; but even when I was a heavier Linux user I didn't care THAT much)

  7. Every month, when "Shark Week" arrives, I'll start wearing kevlar. My connection might be wireless, but my head isn't.

  8. Android App on Comcast Drops Spurious Fees When Customer Reveals Recording · · Score: 1

    I use https://play.google.com/store/...

    Good audio quality, you can choose to record all conversations by default (and then decide which ones to keep), etc.

    It doesn't have an automated notice, but you can always say it yourself :-)

  9. Re:Southwest Boarding Policies on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 1

    And the company is totally within their right to enforce that policy and deny the free "upgrade".

    Getting the family off the plane and illegally threatening them, on the other hand...

  10. Idiomatic ramifications on Complete Microsoft EMET Bypass Developed · · Score: 1

    So... EMET is SHEKER?

  11. Re:fake premise on "Microsoft Killed My Pappy" · · Score: 1

    My android phone crashes way more often than my Windows VMs (which almost NEVER crash, or reboot without warning, giving credibility to the theories that blame faulty hardware and drivers for Windows problems). This also happens at inconvenient times. Maybe you stopped using Windows 15 years ago (I wouldn't blame you)

  12. Re:Mavericks is free? Hmmm... on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 2, Informative

    Just the same as Mavericks, only you have to enter your CREDIT CARD INFORMATION to create an Apple ID.

  13. Re:Real world experience? on Ask Slashdot: Hands-On Activity For IT Career Fair · · Score: 2

    Did I miss anything?

    Nope, you've just described my average Friday.

  14. Re:God it feels good to be an American!!!!!!! on Bolivian President's Plane 'Rerouted Over Snowden Suspicions' · · Score: 2

    I want to snort a mountain of coke and fuck my wife's sister!!!

    Yeah, well, you won't be getting any more coke until you apologize to the President of Bolivia. You should have thought that through.

  15. Re:Different strokes for different folks on Subversion 1.8 Released But Will You Still Use Git? · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but I usually try to keep "less technical users" away from software development.

  16. Here's a solution on Ask Slashdot: Moving From Contract Developers To Hiring One In-House? · · Score: 1

    Remove the quotes around "free" and put them around "empathy".

  17. Argentina can help on Oslo Needs Your Garbage · · Score: 1

    We'll send you a container with our best politicians.

    They should burn well, as they are all full of shit.

  18. I'd buy one on Google Reportedly Making a Smartwatch, Too · · Score: 1

    ...But Google will probably kill it next spring, so why bother?

  19. Of course they won't MERGE. 3 years from now, tops, Chrome OS will be more dead than Google Reader.

  20. That's a country with low food standards on How Much Beef Is In Your Burger? · · Score: 2

    But a beefburger rarely contains 100% beef.

    Bullshit. Come to Argentina, and even the cheapest* beef burgers are really 100% beef (and lots of industrial junk of course, but no other meats)

    *: about GBP 0.50 each

  21. WTF? on Monkeys Made Smarter With Prosthetic Device · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Am I the only one that finds it disturbing that a scientific study gives a dangerous drug to primates in 2012?

  22. I wonder... on Older Means Wiser To Computer Security · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Wouldn't it be terrible if 18-25 year olds behaved the same way in other aspects of their life? Like sex, studies, personal security...

    Oh, wait...

  23. There is no industry convention on Ask Slashdot: How Long Should Devs Support Software Written For Clients? · · Score: 1

    You have to support it for whatever it says in the contract.

    You DO have a contract, right?

  24. Four Letters on Windows 8 Won't Play DVDs Unless You Pay For the Media Center Pack · · Score: 1

    XBMC

  25. I wonder... on Magician Suing For Copyright Over Magic Trick · · Score: 1

    ...how would Slashdot have reacted to this if Teller wasn't the one suing. Or even better, if he was the one being sued.
