    then we can only happily conclude Microsoft has fallen out of grace.
    This means the beginning of the end.
    Bye bye Billy.

  10. As has been said, on The Real Purpose of DRM · · Score: 5, Insightful

    DRM manages you rights in the same way jail 'manages' your freedom.

  11. Re: How about this? on Why Earth Hour Is a Waste of Time and Energy · · Score: 1

    Indeed.
    The only purpose it served was that it gave a handful of politicians,
    at the time it was implemented, a sense of power and control.
    All of the arguments pro are dimwittery.

    Disclaimer: I'm an astronomer.

  12. Re:Just wait... on Google Begins Blocking Third-Party Jabber Invites · · Score: 1

    That's in fact how my mind construed it for a moment.
    Why?

    Because the other day I put a filter on my non-gmail domain mailbox
    to send a copy from that mailbox to my gmail account, esp. so I
    could read the mail from my tablet, while being away.

    Then, for some mails coming in, I read those on the gmail account
    from the desktop PC (to see if the filter was working).

    Now, I noticed that having read them on the PC, the copies for some
    reason never arrived in my gmail mailbox on my tablet, or I should
    say, were totally unavailable and absent there, not in trash either.

    Which leads me to this question:
    Does gmail discard messages that were already read from a
    different connection (assuming the tablet service has some slack
    compared to the desktop PC delivery)?

  13. Not a gas; just a Titanic Aurora on Astronomers Probe Mysterious Gas In Titan's Atmosphere · · Score: 0

    That's all.
    But NASA needs some good PR.
    Which is a good enough motive these days.

  16. Yes. Your own bias is in the way.

  17. We are the Obama administration on Obama Administration To Allow All Spy Agencies To Scour Americans' Finances · · Score: 1

    And all your finance are belong to us.

    Seriously -- is there anyone here who doesn't see yet
    that the worst turns that history could make (in many
    respects), it made /because/ Obama came along?

  18. Re:It will fade away on U.S. Calls On China To End Hacking; Start Cyberspace Dialogue · · Score: 1

    You're whistling in the dark.

    I for one hate to see Americans including the US Govt being so
    dumbassed obviously anal towards the Chinese.
    They, Americans, used to be smart, across the board.

    Better shape up. China will bury you. Do you even know how many
    there are to 1 US [delusioned, fatigued -- like you] citizen?

  19. Re:Yes on U.S. Calls On China To End Hacking; Start Cyberspace Dialogue · · Score: 2

    The Middle East itself disagrees with you.

    Need I say more?
    Oh yes -- and stone cold DEAD.

  22. See then believe on More From Canonical Employee On: "Why Mir?" · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The other day I saw a video of some Wayland developer in front of
    group of developers, some of whom were X developers.
    It was really embarrassing.

    The Wayland guy was all trying to be cool, second guessing X and
    poking fun at it and presenting the image of how on earth we all could
    have gotten by with tsuch a lousy naive piece of shit.

    Almost noone in the audience dared to contradict this totally
    unrespectful smug piece of shit, and point out the shoulders that his
    shaky boots were standing on.

    To me though I saw it coming that the joke was on him. Wayland is
    just a name and a lot of foam and fuzz.
    X has been around 30 years. They must have done SOMETHING
    right.

  23. Slashdot should stop the Iran bashing already on Iran Blocks 'Illegal' VPNs, Google, and Yahoo · · Score: 2

    There are war mongers -- and then there's Slashdot,

  25. Linux doesn't even interact with the user on SXSW: How Emotions Determine Android's Design · · Score: 1

    Linux doesn't even interact with the user in the way that you describe.

    There are several layers between Linux and the user of a system that
    runs a Linux kernel.

    I think you DO want to be a linux basher.
