  4. Give back to the developers on Apple Has Too Much Money · · Score: 1

    The developers are the ones who have helped Apple get where it is by developing apps for their iOS platforms, so why not reduce the 30% cut they take from each app sale to at least 25% or even 20%.

  5. Re:MadExcept! (your app should send bugreports) on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Non-Developers To Send Meaningful Bug Reports? · · Score: 1

    And how are you addressing the issues of non-crashing bugs with your reply? You've added nothing here I'm afraid. Crash reports are a fairly simple task to implement.

  6. Re:Make it send data to you on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Non-Developers To Send Meaningful Bug Reports? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, a crash report can be sent by an application, but a non-crashing bug? If the bug isn't caught by tests (automated or manual) then the software won't know to send an issue like that, otherwise it wouldn't have been a bug in the first place.

  7. Re:Hmmm.... on Canada Rolls Out Plastic Money · · Score: 1

    Coins go in my pocket, bills go in my wallet. I don't like a thick wallet and if it is, I'd prefer it being filled with bills that are actually useful such as $5 and above. Why have 5 $1 bills taking up the space of 1 $5 bill? No thank you. Coins are also easier to use in machines (vending, tranist, etc.)... no need to press coins flat multiple times until they're accepted. If a big wad of $1 or $2 bills makes you feel rich or is used to impress the ladies then I guess you have a point.

  8. Re:Hmmm.... on Canada Rolls Out Plastic Money · · Score: 1

    Nothing gave me the idea that you're talking about American money, which is why I said I'd take the loonie and twoonie any day (over bills).

  9. Re:Hmmm.... on Canada Rolls Out Plastic Money · · Score: 1

    Canadian here and I spend a lot of time in the states and I really don't like a pile of american $1 bills taking up room in my wallet; they're quite useless afaic. I'll take the loonie and twoonie any day.

  10. Re:Curious question on 10-Year Study Reveals Electron Shape · · Score: 1

    An ellipsoid (shape of the Earth) could have been another possible shape for an electron I suppose. The earth bulges due to gravity and centrifugal forces from it's spin. An electron spins too, but if it's a near perfect sphere then this spin doesn't appear to have any effect on its shape, nor does gravity... as far as we can tell so far I guess. Interesting.

  11. Re:too positive on The Cost of US Security · · Score: 1

    Clarification... the Iraq war was for oil disguised as a war for security. What the US did in Iraq is nothing short of craptastic.

  12. Re:What's different on Android 3.0 Is Trickling In, But Are the Apps? · · Score: 2

    Android 3.0 (Honeycomb) was developed with tablet type computers in mind and is not meant for smartphones. Android 2.x apps will still work, they just won't be optimized for the interface.

  13. Bandwidth caps & charges on Proposed Standard Would Address Video Buffering · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Are these providers going to cover the charges associated with downloading unneeded data to consumers devices?

    Not only fixed, but fixed about 6 months ago.

  16. Re:Pre-1952? on New Zealand Government Opens UFO Files · · Score: 1

    Also a good percentage of reports are likely fraudulent as well. People want their 15 mins of fame.

  17. Pre-1952? on New Zealand Government Opens UFO Files · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So why no reports from before 1952? Roswell incident occurred in 1947. I imagine before this people just attributed "UFO"s to natural "unexplained" causes, but then Roswell got so much exposure that I guess it made more sense for people to take the easy way out and say it's aliens. We're still discovering amazing natural occurrences in our atmosphere.

    I'm not saying a UFO have never stopped by to take a look, but 99.999% of reports are likely explained by natural causes.

    Or they're simply covering their face with their hand. Looking at the footage, I see nothing in the persons hand. What looks like something black in the ladies hand is just her hair. Nothing to see here folks.

    1000 degrees F = 538 degrees C

  23. Re:Raises the Question Where Does Oil Come From? on Quantifying, and Dealing With, the Deepwater Spill · · Score: 1

    Umm, hello? The oil was put there by God. How else do you explain it being there with the Earth being only 6000 years old?

  24. Exposure to the back catalogue? on 8-Year Fan-Made Game Project Shut Down By Activision · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Wouldn't some of these fan made games get people interested in some of the originals again? You get enough people into a forgotten series who start asking for more and in turn the rights holder makes a new game of their own in the end with a healthy profit hopefully. Yes, I know... big business doesn't understand this type of thing.
