  1. Re:I thought that was the iPhone on Is Final Cut Pro X Apple's Biggest Mistake In Years? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ..or .Mac, Mobile Me, Apple TV etc All stellar successes.

  2. Worry not... on Is Final Cut Pro X Apple's Biggest Mistake In Years? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Steve will send some shill journalist *cough*mossberg*cough* a short ambiguous email explaining why FCP X is actually a better product, then the fanboys will understand that they were wrong and Apple is right.

  3. If he's so smart how come he's dead? on Remembering Alan Turing On His 99th Birthday · · Score: 2

    Yeah go ahead.....

  4. That will cause delays on Fonolo Lets You Bypass Company Phone Menus · · Score: 1

    That f*cks up the CRM caller id/customer record lookup that is automatically kicked off when an agent answers as its that canadian companies caller id that will show up. The agents will have to do a manual lookup and ask more questions to verify the customer identity.

  5. Google Kids = Legal obligation/legal minefield on Why Doesn't 'Google Kids' Exist? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One bad video/image slipping through could cause Google a lot of problems. Think wardrobe malfunction x 1,000,000 Its why many companies shy away from this.

  6. Privacy policy and EULA? on An IP Address For Every Light Bulb · · Score: 1

    I love tech as much as the next slashdotter but this just seems like tech for tech's sake. This also surely has privacy and usage rights issues that I we haven't even thought of yet.

  7. Palm on If You're Going To Kill It, Open Source It · · Score: 1

    "Palm" is on the list. In its entirety. Low blow lol.

  8. As opposed to how the US is handling it? on KGB Wants Control of Email and VOIP · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Clean up your own back yard before you go knocking on your neighbors door.
    The NSA has hardware in Google HQ and most likely other US data centers too.

  9. Tackle the symptom only? on A Look At the World's Dwindling Food Supply · · Score: 1

    "The report calls for more innovation to increase production"
    I think they should be tackling the underlying problem, namely, people having children without the direct means to support them. I can see a day when parental licensing is introduced. Its a terrible notion but it may be for the greater good.

  10. Typical Sweden on US Lawyers Target Swedish Pirate, and His Unicorn · · Score: 1

    No better country than Sweden to allow their citizens to be harassed this way.

    What a spineless puppet state.

  11. Oh well on Wi-Fi Shown To Interfere With Aircraft Systems · · Score: 1

    Time for Honeywell Avionics and Boeing to produce an enormously expensive piece of equipment that "fixes" this. Certification forcing all planes to carry it would be a bonus.

    Ok gents, quick as you can now...

  12. Re:Thanks EU on New EU Net Rules Set To Make Cookies Crumble · · Score: 1

    IF this had been the US government introducing this law you'd all be applauding it. Reminds me how all the yanks jumped to Microsoft's defense when the EU fined it heavily for anti-competitive practices, despite everyone constantly complaining about Microsoft. Typical anti-European sentiment from Americans.

  13. The criminals on Aussie Security Forces Testing Apple's iOS · · Score: 1, Funny

    Obviously the convicts in HMS Prison Australia have heard of this "jail breaking" thing and want in.

  14. G'day mate! on Aussie Security Forces Testing Apple's iOS · · Score: 1

    What's that skip? Uncle Drongo's got a compound fracture of the tibia? There's a bladdy app for that mate!!!

  15. Re:bleat! on Are Google's Best Days In the Past? · · Score: 1

    Oh god, a google fanboy. Is that even a thing?

  16. Re:Time dilation on Infertility Could Impede Human Space Colonization · · Score: 1

    Current energy price is a function of current energy production processes and sources.

    We need a new energy source, or more specifically a new energy storage medium. If the energy of the sun could be stored in vast enough quantities then perhaps it could be used to create and move a gravitational anomaly in front of the ship (mini black hole? like that created at cern except bigger and more stable) that would pull the vessel forward providing controllable acceleration. Just brain farting here but we have to start thinking different.

  17. Time dilation on Infertility Could Impede Human Space Colonization · · Score: 1

    Our only hope is to create engines capable of pushing our vessels to high speeds as in 0.9c upwards. Let time dilation take care of the rest.

  18. Public domain? on Sony Marketing Man Tweets PS3 Master Key · · Score: 1

    So the code is now legally public domain? Aces!

  19. Rest in peace man on Computer Industry Mourns DEC Founder Ken Olsen · · Score: 1

    Sad indeed. The first computer i ever used was a vax running vms (a model 220). I'll never forget the time i was taught how to knock other terminals offline using the phone program, or send ascii art via "facsimile". Best of times. Rest in Peace Ken.

  20. Compensation? Class action? on Microsoft Explains Windows Phone 7 'Phantom Data' · · Score: 2

    So is there going to be compensation for users scorched by this bug/feature? Class action suit anyone?

  21. Exploit heaven on Firefox 4, A Huge Pile of Bugs · · Score: 1

    The exploit potential for FF4 b9 is worrisome. It could set them back a year of 2 in bad publicity and market share gains. I submitted a bug 5 years ago and it still hasn't been seriously looked at. (it stops FF from starting up) Just endless (... has been assigned, or has been added reports.) I won't be touching it until 4.1.

  22. About time really.... on Fake Steve Jobs Says 'Leave the Real One Alone' · · Score: 3, Informative

    I thought that Fake Steve blog shut down 2 years ago. It was funny for a while but got stale real fast when he was unmasked and the whole book thing.

  23. Re:I ain't no Virgo on Stars Remain In Their Usual Places; People Panic · · Score: 4, Funny

    A-men to that. Screw this Virgo crap.

  24. Status bar on Mozilla To Release Firefox 4 Next Month · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bring back the god damn status bar. Change for change's sake is never a good idea.

  25. Well done!!! on Hank Chien Reclaims Donkey Kong High Score · · Score: 2, Informative

    I think its a shame that he was omitted from "The King of Kong" movie. Wiebe took Hanks score and there wasn't so much of a mention of Hank. He's a good guy and Im happy for him. Also it there a theoretical maximum score for donkey kong? Just wondering what the asymptote is.
