  1. Re:Trolololo on Australians Receive SMS Death Threats · · Score: 1

    How does that scam work if you aren't nice enough to WU the 25k back?

  2. Re:PIGS OPEN FIRE ON BABIES on Google Wants You to Use Your Real Name on YouTube · · Score: 1

    Because you wanted a headline/title like this one? /cynical

  3. Re:$50 for 8 gig is a terrible deal on 16GB Nexus 7 Sold Out On Google Play Store · · Score: 1

    You don't need it for pron. (or so people tell me )

  4. Re:There is - far less on Developer Drops Game Price To $0 Citing Android Piracy · · Score: 1

    For 99c, I expect most eBooks to be unedited and badly written. Occasionally, one hits you and you wonder what the author is doing selling it for 99c. Amazon could make a killing doing a 'pulp' style book for around 5-8 dollars, with a number of books in it, and an editor that's read and fixed the more glaring errors. Or maybe they could alter the Kindle app to allow readers to highlight and upload fixes to errors to the authors.

  5. Have they 'struck out' anyone yet? on Three-Strikes Copyright Law In NZ Halves Infringement · · Score: 1

    And how did that go? Or is it in the courts?

  6. Re:And then you circle back around on Finding Fault With Anti-Fracking Science Claims · · Score: 1

    Except you're only electing slightly left and right, and not extreme.

  7. Re:For the last F*CKING time... on Google Releases Jelly Bean Updates For the Nexus S · · Score: 1

    What does Kies have to do with jelly bean updates? It's a POS that doesn't deserve support. Along with all the rest of the carrier apps. They are akin to the crud you get buying a computer with Windows from Dell, etc.

  8. Re:So, unless it's cheap, what is the point? on Gooseberry Launches Android-based Raspberry Pi Rival · · Score: 1

    You cant hesitate to think too much to get first post.

    IANAL, but the media that they run on probably matters. This isn't print media, or FTA tv, or radio, or any of the broadcast stuff. It's individuals choosing to do a get from a website.

  11. Re:Put stuff in sealed plastic cases? on Ask Slashdot: Storing Items In a Sealed Chest For 25 Years? · · Score: 2

    What will an SSD do after 25 years? Magnetic media, we know, EPROMs, likewise.

  12. Re:65k Split pages on Star Wars Fans Fix Up Luke Skywalker's Home · · Score: 1

    I felt a great disturbance in the net, as if millions of pages suddenly downloaded.

  13. Re:Vector vs. cheesy on Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android · · Score: 1

    Not all, but I'd have to say most.

  14. Re:What makes you think his "sentence" is ever up? on Apple Hacker Charlie Miller To Demo Dangers of Near-Field Communications · · Score: 1

    Citation on how you came up with 'approximately one trillion' - I somewhat agree, but I'm intrigued with the figure.

    So when Apple sell a WD (for instance) HD it has a greater perceived quality than when WD sell the same drive? About the only difference is that when you buy it in an Apple (or other OEM) computer, you can't use WD's (longer) warranty.

    Don't know, I don't know such stuff. I just do eyes ...

  17. Re:Good. on Why Amazon Wants To Pay Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    You get to read a chapter before you buy, (unsure what happens with CD/DVD) - that's better than a bookstore. Unless they set up internationally (Australia) I still won't be paying sales tax. And it's under the online GST minimum.

    Amazon wouldn't be caring about paying sales tax, it'd get passed on to customer.

  18. Re:What instead of Flash? on Adobe Stops Flash Player Support For Android · · Score: 1

    I said cheesy animation, and you extend that to all animation, and TV, which isn't animation. (ok, it includes animation, but there is a lot of content on it that isn't)

    I'm still disappointed that we treat one of our citizens this way. (Australia, that is)

    Flashing text. midi sound. Oh wait, that sucks too. If you can't get the message across without cheesy animation, then the message isn't worth it.

    Insightful? We need a metamod score of 'ironical'

  23. Re:Frequency is troubling on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    Or did it fail because the water mains and sewer treatment lost their power as well? THey probably have backup, but that wouldn't take them through long power outages.

  24. Re:Dilapidated infrastructure? on After Recent US Storms, Why Are Millions Still Without Power? · · Score: 1

    Yes, but if you progressively undergrounded utilities, you would have less and less wire down repairs to do in the future. It's not that overhead wiring is necessarily dilapidated, more that it is prone to this kind of accident.

  25. Re:Nothing new on Former Microsoft Exec: Microsoft Has "Become the Thing They Despised" · · Score: 1

    Apple would sue Microsoft for slander if they claimed to be copying them with their latest. (Windows8)

    Sadly, Microsoft look like getting more license fees from Android tablet/phone makers than they will get from WindowsRT, establishing themselves firmly as patent trolls. Sad, because by profession I write code for Windows, and seeing it head in this direction isn't healthy.
