  1. Re:Forced Upgrades? on Why We Love Firefox, and Why We Hate It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm pretty sure the word 'age' in IT measures the time from when someone switched from something to something else and then notifying you about it. Some sort of temporal penis length.

  2. Re:Finally on Microsoft Surface, Meet Apple iSurface · · Score: 1

    What 'connect a true physical keyboard' to a computer is an innovation? You people do realize that small computers like iPad and Galaxy are just small computers ?
    Let me break this down.

    1. We have for some reason, powerful but small computers in our pockets.
    2. They don't have keyboards and you need to use their overlay keyboard graphics stuff.
    3. These computers has USB ports.
    4. Keyboards has existed since the computer was invented.
    5. I've had USB keyboards for 10 years or so.
    4. ???? (insert immensily godlike genious innovative revolutionary thought here)
    5. Connect small keyboard trough small USB connector on small computer. Tada!
    6. PROFIT & THE GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO PATENT TROLL

    Now lets see. I hereby grant the world prior art on the following for free public domain use on all smartphones:


    Either by USB or Bluetooth:
    - External hardrives
    - Mouse
    - Extra displays
    - Game controllers
    - Portable speakers
    - Anything a sound card can do, external sound cards
    - Anything a graphics card can do, external gfx cards (PCMCIA VGA style, just wrapped differently)
    - Anything a CPU can do, yes attachs extra CPU cores to run Angry Birds DualCore Edition
    - Anything else you can think of that can be connected to a computer that can be shrunk a little bit and given a new paint job.

    Of course after this, everyone will want powerful computers without 213 various devices, and we are back to regular PC's again, full circle.

    some of us rather have chaos than tyranny.

  4. Re:Portable HD with 25K+ CDs worth of music. on RIAA Admits SOPA Wouldn't Have Stopped Piracy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Justin Beiber is what people want, because it is marketed that way. People don't just have a terrible taste in music, they are also willing products of the marketing industry. (aka fashion)

  5. Re:v1 was bullshit too on OAuth 2.0 Standard Editor Quits, Takes Name Off Spec · · Score: 1

    Well, half the world runs on Apache + PHP, but you are right in asking why.

  6. Re:NONE on Ask Slashdot: the Best Linux Setup To Transition Windows Users? · · Score: 1

    Actually I have problems running both new and old hardware with more and more distros lately. Seems someone thinks everyone should follow the exact same upgrade cycle. There should be a 'driver cd' for linux distros ,supporting anything outside the developers perspective.

  7. Re:If only they knew how to even use a hammer on Hackers Release AAPT Data To Protest Aussie Policies · · Score: 2

    The best thing about anon is that they created so much noise lately that i've seen 'civilians' knowing about them. (and in most cases sympathize with them). they might come off as juvenile, but if it can improve the general knowledge about issues, it's a good thing. i for one usually don't shed a tear for the people targeted by anon.

  8. Re:The jerk probably wants to eat and raise a fami on App Developer: Android Designed For Piracy · · Score: 1

    Does anyone code for fun after they leave moms basement ? Everyone has to make money and those who claim to program for fun are really just hoping to be 'discovered' and brought into the industry.

    Conditional presentation, the business logic still lies on the server.

    We often used high end system to query the data, then work on it in SQLite or similar, and commit back.

  14. Re:in 3..2..1 on Chicken Vaccines Combine To Produce Deadly Virus · · Score: 2, Interesting

    No. That is invasion of privacy. I refused to get the bird flu vaccine during the global panic a couple years ago, because I noticed that the medical companies had gotten an exceptional carte blanche waiver for all ill effects.This was all a big pharma ploy. And lo and behold, the vaccines that came out of this has shown itself many times to have bad side effects.

    Did you even have a GeoCities account ? Wikipedia is damn good looking for those who are seeking facts, not bling.

  23. Re:ITS A CONSPIRACY! on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    I don't know, but maybe the years of coding graphics effects has made my eyes superfast. I have no problem seeing a 'subliminal message' frame squeezed in between the other 49 frames any given second. So thats probably why I don't like 3D movies if they actually are at an effective 12hz. My eyes and head hurts after a 3D movie.

    Enjoy the reign of Romney. Oh, I pity you Americans. He's a pretty smooth liar already, just wait until he gets the backing of the White House staff veterans and you will see an era that you would not even dream about under Bush.

  25. Re:Awesome on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    I've seen Transformers 2 and Prometheus now in 3D, and it strains the eyes, it adds little to nothing for the effort and money it costs. I will be avoiding 3D movies from now on.
