  1. Kogan's in the UK now? on Retailer Calls Rivals' Bluff On "HDMI Scam" · · Score: 1

    OK, I RTFA and Kogan has opened up shop in the UK. I wondered why the prices were in pounds. They've been doing this in Australia for a while, mostly to score free publicity at the expense of JB and Harvey Norman.

    ...and can probably drive.

  3. Re:Not impressive... on Pdf.js Reaches First Milestone · · Score: 1

    Oh wow, retro-trolling. Soon we'll be back to page-widening, Steven King is dead and bell bottoms.

  4. Re:SOL on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I was talking about the other side of the funding. The schools only get 3 years for Arts, Commerce, Primary Teaching, Science and 4 years for Engineering and Secondary Teaching.

  5. Re:SOL on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Add in that the Feds only pay for 3 year science degrees and you're squeezing out the important stuff. They'll probably shift them to 4 year engineering degrees and keep the same major content.

  6. Re:US-only problem? on Ask Slashdot: CS Degree Without Gen-Ed Requirements? · · Score: 1

    Australia is pretty much the same. The last two years of high school are specialised down to tertiary pre-reqs. Most of the general stuff is done by the age of 15. Apart from a couple of electives and my minor (most of us picked a CS minor) our only non-CS units were maths and a couple of hardware engineering units.

  7. Re:Duh on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 1

    That's not raw Firefox is it? Are you thinking of FrontMotion? That works well with GPO configuration.

  8. Re:You had me at... on Microsoft Exploits Firefox 4 Uproar, Beats IE Drum · · Score: 1

    Yep. We've been permitted to upgrade to IE7 or Firefox 3.6. Anything higher isn't allowed by our Oracle financial and HR package.

  9. Re:But... on An Entirely New Class of Aircraft Arrives · · Score: 1

    Four items at once, I believe.

  10. Re:I've said it before and I'll say it again on US Warns of Problems In Chinese SCADA Software · · Score: 1

    The boss is often the problem. They 'need' access from their desks to 'monitor' things. That's where the cross-over happens. One way data feeds into a reporting engine are better but then the muppets don't feel they're in control.

    Aren't you the guy who said Iraq was winning? Wow, Baghdad Bob is working for Israel now.

  12. Re:Why so much processing power??? on Microsoft Releases Kinect SDK For Windows · · Score: 1

    Leave the Morans out of this. They're likely to shoot you.

  13. Re:it's june, 2011 on Microsoft Releases Kinect SDK For Windows · · Score: 2

    The ultimate punishment was reserved for the manager behind Bob. She got life with Bill.

  14. Re:I just downloaded it and am coding now! on Microsoft Releases Kinect SDK For Windows · · Score: 1

    The cost of not upgrading Vista is greater than the cost of upgrading. Others have addressed the XP boxes.

  15. Re:It was only a matter of time on Microsoft Releases Kinect SDK For Windows · · Score: 1

    So I can use Kinect to see who let one rip.

  16. Re:Really? That's important ? on Linus Renames 2.6.40 Kernel To Linux 3.0, Announces Release Candidate · · Score: 1

    My native language is English and I agree.

  17. Re:...what? on Samsung Launches Exynos-Based Origen Dev Board · · Score: 1

    My thing can already create other things, or so I'm told.

  18. Re:How About ... on Amazon and Barnes & Noble Jostle Over Battery Life Figures for Nook, Kindle · · Score: 1

    My thumb drive doesn't keep the processor in a ready-to-go state all of the time. These devices have an on, off and in-between state that actually drains power while doing 'nothing.' When they're fully off, they take some time to fire up.

  19. Re:I pre-ordered First Post. on GameStop To Honor Ancient Duke Nukem Pre-Orders · · Score: 1

    Mine's encoded in your DNA. The reptile part.

  20. Re:Delaying Release on Samsung Wants To See iPhone 5 and iPad 3 · · Score: 1

    No, they just rip-off Cisco's trademarks.

  21. Re:No amoled for you! on Samsung Wants To See iPhone 5 and iPad 3 · · Score: 1

    How about the 'rumor' of Apple using Samsung chips in current, shipping products?

  22. Re:Yes I remember... on Samsung Wants To See iPhone 5 and iPad 3 · · Score: 1

    No, but Slashdot will dupe this later.

  23. Re:I think it's kinda silly on Do Developers Really Need a Second Monitor? · · Score: 1

    Web designers only need this if it's the baseline monitor that the users are forced to use. We had someone argue that they needed a second screen to 'see what the users see' and then upped it to a 24'' when the users are stuck on 17. The rest of us can't use their 'masterpiece.'
