  1. Re:I am all for it. on France Demands Skype Register As a Telco · · Score: 2

    Yup. Even if you made 1 call a month my VoIP provider still beats Skype.

    I had a call yesterday over Skype and I found the quality absolutely awful compared to my VoIP line as well.

    What do you mean? Their products are easily accessible DRM free.

    Jeez with the number of times The Pirate Bay and the rest of them get mentioned on Slashdot I'm surprised more people don't know about torrents. :P

  4. Re:Of course we need them. on Nuclear Arms Cuts, Supported By 56% of Americans, Would Make the World Safer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Or rather you can deter violence by not pissing everyone off and becoming friends with them.
    The US is its own worst enemy in that respect.

  5. Re:Really, a fake tooth is fine, thanks on Scientists Grow Replacement Human Teeth In Mouse Kidneys · · Score: 1

    Yeah they'd probably try going it in your own kidneys for better rejection prevention. :P

  6. Re:This langrab is by and for corporations on Amazon's Quest For Web Names Draws Foes · · Score: 1

    Mind you it would have been a blood bath if a TLD cost $10.
    Can you imagine how awful it would be?

  7. Re:Not true. on Ohio Judge Rules Speed Cameras Are a Scam · · Score: 1

    Isn't part of getting your licence a explanation about driving to the conditions?
    If its icy then you shouldn't be anywhere near the speed limit. Yes its legal to go the speed limit in icy conditions but that is incredibly stupid and if you get a ticket for skidding over the white line then too bad.

  8. Re:Iran cut off from the Internet... on Iran Blocks 'Illegal' VPNs, Google, and Yahoo · · Score: 2

    Yeah if you lived in the Internet, how would you get back to Iran for food?

  9. Re:reboot? on Lucas Says Ford, Fisher and Hamill May Return For Next Star Wars · · Score: 1

    I did quite enjoy that one as well.

  10. Re:So MS may now back WebRTC??? on Google and MPEG LA Reach VP8 Patent Agreement · · Score: 1

    No this won't change a thing. Microsoft will make up another excuse.

    They are a significant party of MPEG LA after all. If they were concerned they could have done this ages ago.

  11. Re:His mansion on Dotcom Wins Right To Sue NZ Government · · Score: 1

    Something like that.

    Its legal for the NZ police to spy on foreigners.
    He isn't one any more which is why he is suing. Hence this entire article.

  12. Re:"Always on" is "Mostly Unusable For Several Wee on In Wake of Poor Reviews, Amazon Yanks SimCity Download · · Score: 2

    What is the reason for running aspects of effectively single player game play on a server?

    Yep DRM.

  13. Re:Can't believe their arrogance on Microsoft Fined €561 Million For Non-compliance With EU Browser Settlement · · Score: 1

    Not really. Regardless of the subject matter, Microsoft made a commitment to do something then failed to do it.
    The fine is about Microsoft breaking their promise.

  14. Re:The cynic in me... on Drone Comes Within 200 Feet of Airliner Over New York · · Score: 1

    I doubt your regular quadcopter would show up on radar as well.

  15. Re:It's a drone dammit on Drone Comes Within 200 Feet of Airliner Over New York · · Score: 1

    You'd have to be very good with your timing.

    To far away and the C4 doesn't hurt the plane.
    To close and your drone is just a smudge on the 747's windscreen.

    Generally detonator circuits don't work once they've been flattened.

  16. Re:Ya know on Triple Monitor Solutions From AMD, Nvidia Face Off · · Score: 1

    I've got a very similar set up to you actually. Also never really gamed on it.

    Personally I think games are absolutely retarded on 3 monitors. Every single screenshot was warped horribly which means you are basically going to use it as one monitor with some eye candy for your peripheral vision rather than actually looking around the place.

    Now simulators is where three monitors is awesome.....

    Do as we say, not as we do.

    The US doesn't have a favourable stance on human rights either. Obama is cleared to bomb civilians in his own country without a trial. What is your point?

  22. Re:So... on UK Court Orders Block of Three Torrent Sites · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They don't sell the product the torrent sites provide.
    I.e. DRM free video downloadable (not streamed) and released nearly at the same time world wide (some of us aren't in the US)

    The day they sell the product then let me know.

    Human tails could be a much more interesting typo. :)

  25. Re:We encountered something like this on How Power Failures Corrupt Flash SSD Data · · Score: 1

    It works better than you think. Under Linux you can dump lots of nice info on a battery.
    They all have fairly detailed stats on how much capacity they have, what they are rated for, voltage and even how much capacity is being used at the moment.
