  1. Cmon people... on The Specter of Gasoline At $5 a Gallon · · Score: 1

    Steven Chu is not the "Secretary Treasury" which is grammatically incorrect at the very least (Secretary OF THE Treasury if TFS was correct) United States Secretary of Energy - Steven Chu. A little google search wasn't that hard now was it?

  2. Re:They better not have... on Remastered Star Trek: the Next Generation Blu-ray a Huge Leap Forward · · Score: 1

    How exactly would they "fuck with the storyline" they can only re-edit what they have, I don't see how they can mess with the actual episode content.

  3. Re:It's kind of scary on The Pirate Bay On Track To Be Banned In the UK? · · Score: 1

    Damn You Niagra Falls!!!!!!!! There, I damned it!

  4. Re:What's up with the advertisements? on EU Court Rules Social Networks Cannot Be Forced To Police Downloads · · Score: 0

    Off-topic much??

  5. Re:Hmm on How the GOP (and the Tea Party) Helped Kill SOPA · · Score: 1

    Your argument loses steam when you mention that Limbaugh is on the air 10am - 1pm central, when that would warp the time space continuum considering he is on the air 12 - 3 eastern (11 - 2 central). Nothing to do here!

  6. Re:Ethical? on Cystic Fibrosis Gene Correction Drug Approved by the FDA · · Score: 1

    if so, that would be great. Most people make less than that.

  7. What the summary fails to note... on Eye of Tiger Composer Sues Gingrich To Stop Campaign From Using Song · · Score: 5, Informative

    Is that Jim Peterik, the co-author, is not suing, and doesn't mind that Gingrich uses it... "Chicago-born Frankie Sullivan co-authored the Grammy award-winning song with fellow Survivor founding member Jim Peterik. However, Peterik is not party to the lawsuit and reportedly said that he didn't have a problem with Gingrich using it, according to a Sun Times report." http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/290196/20120131/gingrich-sued-copyright-infringement-eye-tiger-rocky.htm

  8. I find on Mozilla Announces Long Term Support Version of Firefox · · Score: 1

    Most addons I use just need a min/max version fix and they work fine.

  9. Re:Unfortunately it's the 1% who calls the shot on US Survey Shows Piracy Common and Accepted · · Score: 1

    This makes actually a lot of sense, more so now that it's becoming a lot more common to move away from the now classic huge and expensive recording studios to smaller and simpler, home-made recording studios. The technology is making it easier for any dumbass like me to tape him or herself playing the bass and just paste it over some play along tape, and have it sound sort-of-decent with your favorite (pirated) software and a couple of google searches. Since, as you said, what most musicians want is to actually play live in front of people, the whole 'recording an album' thing is just a means you use to try and make more popular whatever it is that you play, even if just a little bit. The irony of your statement about using Technology to make it easier... is you used the word "TAPE" lololol. The preferred word, when used to describe this process with technology is... RECORD.

  10. Re:Don't waste your time, get an iPad on Ask Slashdot: Best Android Tablet For Travel? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I can get a case for the Ipad that will accomodate my standard apple bluetooth keyboard. iSSH does my console needs remotely. RDP does my remote into windows boxes VNC does my remote into everything else... Entertainment? Ipad is king. Web surfing? Didnt Safari recently top the list?

  11. Re:Best Android for Time Travel? on Ask Slashdot: Best Android Tablet For Travel? · · Score: 1

    Using that logic, Marvin wins... Because Data is Dead... Unless you think he will be reincarnated in B4

  12. Let the on Hobbit Film Trailer Posted Online · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Flame War commence!

  13. My IP came up with nothing... on Sony, Universal and Fox Caught Pirating Through BitTorrent · · Score: 1

    First I tried with a proxy ID, nothing came up... So it was obviously not reading my cookies. Then I tried with my IP and nothing came up... But then again, I only torrent as a last resort (i use a private encrypted service for most things) and by last resort I mean "so obscure that it is not mainstream" and thus... nothing shows up.

  14. Teamviewr on ipad is terrible on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Print From an Android Tablet? · · Score: 1

    I can only guess but it is probably just as bad on android Rdp for windows and vnc for everything else works pretty good

  15. Re:What next? on Toronto School Bans Hard Balls · · Score: 1

    Wait, was it graphite or lead? Because IIRC the "lead" is actually "graphite with a clay binder"

  16. Re:More Specifically Aimed at Chinese Fur Farms on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 2

    Respectfully, from a Jew to You... FUCK YOU

  17. Re:Entrenched Interests on Secret BBC Documents Reveal Flimsy Case For DRM · · Score: 1

    Ok Itunes or other digital service, It is negligible overhead for them to "keep it in stock"

  18. Re:Entrenched Interests on Secret BBC Documents Reveal Flimsy Case For DRM · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So I, being Rick Astley, can simply go to the store once every 5 years and buy my own album? And put provisions in my will for my estate to do the same in perpetuity?

  19. Re:Maybe Apple should make a smaller one? on Kindle Fire Will Be Hotter Than iPad This Holiday · · Score: 1

    Why would Apple want to get involved with the internal squabbling of a monarchy?

  20. Re:Don't bother on Firefox 8.0 Released · · Score: 2

    I am on the Nightly channel. It does crash every once in awhile, but I get a lot less "Firefox is running but not responsding" after I have closed the browser.

  21. Re:Hostile workplace on Airline to Offer In-Flight Adult Movies · · Score: 1

    You really thing RyanAir flight attendants are unionized?

  22. yeah... on White House Responds to ET/UFO Petitions · · Score: 2

    I bet if the government was asked about any other super high security classified information, they would similarly deny it.

  23. Re:apt-cache search and grep on Mobile App Search: So Broken AltaVista Could Do It · · Score: 1

    what if my girlfriend enjoys binging me? Will i still go blind?

  24. Re:FIRST on The Real Job Threat · · Score: 1

    Too bad AC get's no credit for his "accomplishment."

  25. Re:full software rendering? on VLC Player For Android Is Almost a Reality · · Score: 1

    Also "BIG SCREEN GOOOOD" is a better way to market something than a more technical explanation.
