  1. Re:wow on Anonymous Takes Down DOJ, RIAA, MPA and Universal Music · · Score: 1

    new here?

  2. well done apple on Apple Transfers Patents Through Shell Company To Sue All Phone Makers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    this is a smart way to avoid negative publicity. 'apple sues xyz' makes apple sound like an evil company. 'digitude innovation sues xyz' is a way protecting the brand

  3. sibal is a clown on Indian Minister Seeks To Censor User-Generated Content Online · · Score: 2

    Using 'think of the children' and 'hurting religious sentiments' as reasons for censoring is getting out of hand all over the world.

    this guy is a known clown. all he wants to achieve out of this is to censor all anti-congress sentiments on the indian internets which has been on an incredible rise this year. he is getting what he deserves. look at #kapilsibal and #idiotkapilsibal

    the ire is epic. the biggest democracy on the planet prides its free speech. snubbing that is going to take some doing.

  4. up-down vs left-right on Are Power Users Too Cool For Ubuntu Unity? · · Score: 1

    our fingers do up-down movements on the trackpad intuitively than left right, so having the dock icons at the bottom makes most sense for launching and switching. why is that so hard to grasp?

  5. hmm where can this be used? on CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    high-frequency trading of course

  6. Re:Very Unfortunate. on Authorities Closing On LulzSec · · Score: 1

    this is stupid. you don't go picking locks to make your neighbor get better locks

  7. Re:Very Unfortunate. on Authorities Closing On LulzSec · · Score: 1

    why cry foul if the govt. resorts to the same tactics? (say if they planned an attack that helped pass a bill)

  8. Re:WAR, what is it good for? on Has the Rate of Technical Progress Slowed? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    "Don't be so gloomy. After all it's not that awful. Like the fella says, in Italy for 30 years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. I...n Switzerland they had brotherly love - they had 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long Holly. " - harry lime, the third man

  9. where is the report? on Analyst, 15, Creates Storm After Trashing Twitter · · Score: 1

    I don't see the report linked from TFA. I dont see it on the linked pcpro article either. what exactly is news here? that a 15 yr old wrote something?

    OMG! this guys sooo cuuuuute... i appreciate the guys' honesty.

  15. wishful thinking or just stupidity? on Earth Bacteria May Hitch A Ride To The Stars · · Score: 1

    Given the sheer expanse of time that lies ahead of the four discarded rockets, at least one is likely to eventually encounter a planet.

    how did they come up with that?
    thats like saying, am throwing up 4 balls in the air, am sure one of them will hit the moon.

    space is curved, there are gravitational fields everywhere. chances are that the rockets would be locked in an orbit of some sort or crash somewhere due to the fields.

  16. the man who knew infinity on Ramanujian's Deathbed Problem Cracked · · Score: 4, Informative

    not totally offtopic but i would like to recommend this amazing book (the man who knew infinity) to anyone interested in reading his biography. its one of the best biographies i've ever read.

  17. the tools maybe.. on Who Killed the Webmaster? · · Score: 1

    Managed hosting and the bunch of tools for a CMS, database access over the web, a control panel like PLESK, cpanel etc. Who needs a webmaster anymore when you can do much more sitting with a notebook on ur beanbag?

  18. Re:Set the wayback machine to 2001... on iPhone Faces Uncertain Market · · Score: 1

    the cellphone market might be saturated but not the smartphone market. Just like how the music through cassette players and walkmans was saturated when iPod came out.

  19. signal lag causes it.. on Even The Blind Get Deja Vu · · Score: 1

    remember reading somewhere that its because one of the eyes deliver the signal a bit late than the other eye (or one ear than the other), so the brain already knows what has happened

  20. ah damn ! on Oracle Linux Explored · · Score: 1

    read the article thinking "Oracle Linux Exploded"

  21. blink blink ! on Another Millenium Problem May Have Been Solved · · Score: 1

  22. sony hires kids for PR positions ? on Toshiba to Exchange 340,000 Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    The supplier changed the composition of the insulating paper without notice, he said.

    will these PR guys ever grow up? The supplier is to blame ? How did this pass quality then?

    From TFA

    "..Freeserve, the first U.K. Internet service provider (ISP) to offer free Internet access to customers in the late 1990s."

    I dont know how that became..

    "..Ajaz Ahmen, known for creating the U.K.'s first ISP Freeserve."

    hats off to the /. editors

  25. Re:Couldn't care less about AAC on SanDisk Releases New iPod rival · · Score: 1

    Flac or Ogg support on the other hand would be a major point in a product's favor from my position since I do have a fair number of files in Flac currently and Ogg does sound better than mp3 at most bitrates.

    stop thinking and living in your own small little world and move outside. flac ?.. try selling that idea to your pointy haired boss. markets dont revolve around the minority unless its a niche you are trying to carve for yourself.
