  1. Re:No 12" LCD can fit cargo pocket on Is Intel Killing 12-Inch Displays On Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    if you want your text smaller, tell the OS to render it smaller, people buy high res displays to have a better looking screen not to make all their shit impossible to read. on windows XP people compensate by setting their resolution lower than mid 90's screens could support

  2. Re:netbooknotebook is just naming on Is Intel Killing 12-Inch Displays On Netbooks? · · Score: 1

    the distinction is very real, people expect a new laptop to do most or all the things their laptop does, they also will usually need a table or other surface to set up on.

    a little 7" netbook isn't expected to replace a regular computer and it's small enough to throw in a cargo pants pocket and to carry around while using it.

  3. Re:COnsider how it comes across on What Questions Should a Prospective Employee Ask? · · Score: 1

    in this economy, the goal is to get any offer that pays the bills.

  4. Re:No physical security on Can We Abandon Confidentiality For Google Apps? · · Score: 1

    more information is leaked due to local security failures(viruses, worms, trojans, assholes using anonymous FTP from home, assholes using unprotected windows shares and unencrypted wireless) than to third party application servers being compromised.

    the key thing is to look over the service agreement with google docs to make sure that there is an agreement to keep stored documents confidential.

  5. Re:Gambling on BringIt.com Allows Players to Bet On Console Game Matches · · Score: 1

    there is a difference between a fee tournament where the participants are putting up money and winning prizes, and betting on the outcome of a game between 2 teams that are not betting.

  6. Re:I think it should have gone to trial on Tenenbaum Lawyers Now Passing the Hat · · Score: 1

    if the company were being sued for 25000 times the value of the software, yes

    the problem isn't that the bid bad RIAA is suing people for copyright infringement, the problem is that congress unconstitutionally constructed a criminal fine system into civil law to allow punishment to be carried our in civil court so they can bypass many of the defendant's rights.

    The purpose of civil court is to make the plaintiff whole again and sometimes, when the defendant has been particularly wanton in their disregard for the law to smack them on the nose.

    The mcdonalds hot coffee case that people get so outraged over was $160,000 in compensatory damages and 480,000 in punitive damages.

    taken to the same ratio as the DMCA allows for a $1 song, this would be like that case taking a verdict of 400 million dollars in punitive damages.

  7. Re:WINE on Sandia Studies Botnets In 1M OS Digital Petri Dish · · Score: 1

    if they are testing botnet behavior, they can do so while fudging the details of infection.

  8. Re:Had This Problem Myself on AVG Update Breaks iTunes · · Score: 1

    I find nag screens less annoying than the eating of application and or vital system files.

  9. Re:unity is perfect on New Zealand Tree Stuck In Evolutionary Time Warp · · Score: 1

    well that demigod they have named Jesus seems pretty important as well.

  10. Re:Mechanical batteries on 'Power Capping' the Datacenter · · Score: 1

    and how much for the insurance in case one of those kinetic bombs decides to go off?

  11. Re:Already being done its called the Falcon 9 on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    But if it's liquid fueled you can't funnel money to Senator Orrin Hatch's district in the production. that will never do.

  12. Re:Ares Rocket less safe than a Space Shuttle? on Early Abort of Ares I Rocket Would Kill Crew · · Score: 1

    but that is a russian design, those guys invented the AK-47. you can't expect us capitalist pigs to compete with that can you?

  13. Re:Which motherboard was it? on A GNU/Linux Distro Needing Windows To Install? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Doesn't this state of matters boarder on the brink of insanity? No, it really doesn't. Don't get so hysterical.

  14. sanctions? on Lawyer Offers $1M For Proof His Client Could Have Done It; Oops · · Score: 5, Insightful

    He should be disbarred for offering a reward to anyone who helps strengthen the case AGAINST his client.

  15. Re:Achem. Mistrial. on Judge May Take "Fair Use" Away From Jury · · Score: 1

    it's inherent to the jury system because the jury cannot be punished for it's decision. at least not yet (BTW, for the 4 box crowd, attempting to change this would be an appropriate reason to go to box #4)

  16. Re:The real problem.... on Rosetta Stone Sues Google For Trademark Violation · · Score: 4, Insightful

    if by "use to their benefit" you mean reach potential customers, then yes.

    until it is illegal to suggest alternatives or present your product as an alternative this lawsuit is baseless

    and it's no good for availability if you have to search ebay for the part to get your system back up. soft raid will run on anything

  20. Re:On board all the way!! on RAID Trust Issues — Windows Or a Cheap Controller? · · Score: 1

    "real" raid is much worse. all you need is a backup copy of the software driving fake raid to get it up and running 5 years later when the controller craps itself. when your $500 card lets the magic smoke out and the vendor is 3 years out of business and you can't check your firmware version because the card will just catch fire again if you hook it up.... you are screwed.

  21. Re:NPOV on Planck Telescope Is Coolest Spacecraft Ever · · Score: 1

    summary reads like it was meant for CNN.com not slashdot.org. I am certain that nobody with a slashdot account would be both ignorant of what absolute zero is and incapable of JFGI
