  1. Re:Tablet people! on My $200 Laptop Can Beat Your $500 Tablet · · Score: 1

    >You'd think it would take Moses coming down from the mountain to get them to spell this correctly!

    /. already covered that story, but they had a typo in it as well and they spoke of "Mouses" coming down from the mountain.

  2. Re:Right on! on Usage Based Billing In Canada To Be Rescinded · · Score: 1

    since those users are straining the infrastructure, using more electricity, slowing-down service for other users, et cetera.

    Just my humble opinion.

    Will this outbreak of common sense continue on /.? We can only hope.

  3. Re:Bell Canada on Internet Downloading Costs To Rise In Canada · · Score: 1

    They also got fined 1.3 Million dollars for calling people on the do not call registry. Looks good on them.

    It looks even better on them when you consider that they were contracted by the CRTC to operate "Do not hesitate to call" Registry.

    The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) launched the National Do Not Call List (DNCL) on September 30, 2008. Bell Canada was contracted to act as the National DNCL operator, and will be responsible for registering numbers, providing telemarketers with up-to-date versions of the list, and handling consumer complaints about telemarketing calls.

  4. Re:18 months in isolation on Mars500 Mission Begins · · Score: 1

    Unless they set up a LAN party for the duration of the trip. Also, substitute Jolt Cola in for one of the limited consumables and a Slashdotter would totally pwn those other guys in handling the isolation

  5. Re:saves time and money! on How Do You Handle Your Keys? · · Score: 2, Funny

    There was no need for the overclarification

    And again. This is slashdot

  6. Re:great story on Apple Bans Sexy Apps, Developers Upset · · Score: 1

    as for porn, yes there was beta porn, but it came much later than vhs porn and was significantly harder to come by

    No wonder beta porn was never really successful

  7. No intelligence in my company on Are There Any Smart E-mail Retention Policies? · · Score: 2, Funny

    21 day mail retention and a 30 Meg mailbox size. It is great for booking holidays because after the first 21 consecutive days, it doesn't matter how much longer you are gone because the volume of email will never really get that much greater.

  8. I'm not worried about becoming violent... on Brain Changes When Viewing Violent Media · · Score: 1

    The money/resources that they wasted on this study should have gone towards serious research into problems such as dementia. But I guess, since they still will not understand dementia by the time I get it, I will forget all of the violence that I've witnessed and become complacent once again
