    What happens to the music you paid for if that company changes its mind?

    No music for you!

    NEXT!

  2. Re:What is BT? What is BPI? on Music Industry Pushing For BT To Block Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    I was confused as to why and how the music industry could be pushing for BitTorrent to block Pirate Bay.

    Cue the Chewbacca defense.

  3. Re:That's not a problem on Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4S Battery Problems · · Score: 1

    And of course, after performing this stunt on an airplane, you will not be treated like the rest of the passengers.

    Finally, some service around here! Coffee, please!

  4. Re:Seriously? on Apple Acknowledges iPhone 4S Battery Problems · · Score: 1

    Software on their own server vs hardware in the hands of millions of people.

    Yeah, that's almost the same thing.

    That guy was there to see if it could help the signal strength by adding a bar to it.

  6. Re:end of Arduino? on 10k Raspberry Pi Units Available In December · · Score: 1

    No, but it gets you the Atmel ATmega328 that is the core of the 30$ Arduino platform. And if you can use the internal oscillator, all you need for external parts is a tiny capacitor on the power pins.

  7. Re:Dilute the results on Google Starts Indexing Facebook Comments · · Score: 2

    It sure does.

    Searching for "Does Google index Slashdot comments?" already gives me this page as the first result.

    +1 to this "Social sites" search tab idea.

    Sounds like an improvement to me.

  10. MAME? on 10k Raspberry Pi Units Available In December · · Score: 1

    Is it powerful enough to run MAME, at least older versions?

  11. Re:Obligatory question on 10k Raspberry Pi Units Available In December · · Score: 1

    Considering that the Arduino Uno sells for 30$USD, I'm still impressed by the specifications of the Raspberry Pi.

  12. Re:Nerds are not cool by definition on Is the Maker Movement Making It Cool For Kids To Be Nerds? · · Score: 2

    Next thing you know, journalists will translate "homemaker" into "house hacker".

  13. Re:Pictures are large on Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than · · Score: 1

    256-bit color depth?

  14. Re:Quickly on Things That Turbo Pascal Is Smaller Than · · Score: 1

    And your font alone probably took 2048 bytes (256 characters with a 8x8 matrix).

  16. Re:I'm here on Open Hardware Journal · · Score: 0

    Is that a Christine movie reference or a Chewbacca defense reference?

    It makes no sense!

    The true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination. - Albert Einstein

  20. Re:So it turns out.... on The Weight of an e-Book · · Score: 1

    So what you're saving is that we would need to copy the file, erase the drive then nuke it from orbit since it's the only way to be sure.

    For all those that don't get my point...

    There's no "oh shit, my phone can't the new OS" moment. I can't become outdated the same way a smartphone does.

  23. Re:We don't care. We don't use iPhones. on iPhone 4S Has Been Jailbroken, Hack Enables Siri on iPhone 4 · · Score: 1

    A regular "dumb" cellphone will work as long as the antennas and services are in place.
