  1. Re:You're asking who? on Ask Slashdot: Unity/Gnome 3/Win8/iOS — Do We Really Hate All New GUIs? · · Score: 1

    I don't hate them. There you go.

    FYI on Ubuntu 11.10 using gnome-shell

  2. Re:Apple topic? on Google Releases Chrome 5.0 For Win/Mac/Linux · · Score: 1
  3. Re:Simple on What Has Your Phone Survived? · · Score: 1

    Water also self-ionizes.

    And saying "[it] isn't very conductive" doesn't mean it's an insulator.

  4. Re:Times are a changing.. on EA Flip-Flops On Battlefield: Heroes Pricing, Fans Angry · · Score: 1

    And even then the Yankees don't win the entire time.

  5. Re:Dead company walking on Blackboard Patent Invalidated By Appellate Court · · Score: 1

    Can we please trade eastern district of Texas back to Mexico?

    No thanks. You can keep it.

  6. Re:library of congress on How Heavy Is a Petabyte? · · Score: 1

    And six months are 180, so one (calendar) day is approximately 0.0172142063 radians.

  7. Questions for Dr. Gamma on Ask Jazz Technical Lead Dr. Erich Gamma · · Score: 1

    Can you tell us of your ideas for new robot masters? What is your plan to get rid of Mega Man? Are you really Dr. Wily in disguise?

  8. Re:I hold my phone to my left ear on Need a Favor? Talk To My Right Ear · · Score: 1

    I'm right-handed and not deaf, but I also hold up the phone to my left ear, but because I hear better with it and thus am able to listen better with it. Also, when I'm wearing headphones and hearing music and I actually want to listen to what someone has to say, I take off the left headphone so I can pay attention better.

    I also prefer my left eye; I wear contacts and have a harder time seeing when I'm wearing only the right-eye contact.

    So it's also more like the usual right- or left-handedness in that you're better suited to do certain tasks with a particular side.

  9. Re:The Voice function is innovative on iPod Shuffle Finds Its Voice · · Score: 5, Funny

    Most music already has this feature. You just gotta wait for it, and you'll even listen to it in the singer's own voice.

  10. Re:Well on Should Job Seekers Tell Employers To Quit Snooping? · · Score: 1

    Sadly no mod points at the moment, but I want to say not only how true this can be, but that it can also depend heavily on the circumstances.

    I started on a new job just yesterday after months of searching. And what happens? When going with my boss to one of our client's offices we got pulled over. The officer was in the right, but my boss thought we could not miss the meeting and bribed the cop.

    Now, what to do? Do you choose your own ideals and morals, missing that meeting and possibly starting off giving your boss a headache and who knows what other difficulties down the road, but staying with a clean conscience of doing what's right? Or just suck it up and go with the flow because you just got that job you were desperately needing for a while now?

  11. Cuban Linux distro name on Cuba Launches Own Linux Variation · · Score: 5, Funny

    Tell me I'm not the only one who expected its name to be Cubuntu.

  12. Dirt nap? on Digital Storage To Survive a 25-Year Dirt Nap? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I'm more interested in storage that can survive:

    • Sleeping with the fishies
    • Pushing up the daisies
    • Jumping off this mortal coil
    • Joining the choir invisible
    • Pining for the fjords

    Any one able to help me out?

  13. Next step? on Examining Portal's Teleportation Code · · Score: 4, Funny

    Porting Portal's portal code?

  14. Re:Protection of the tech jobs market on Judge Rejects H-1B Visa Injunction · · Score: 1

    I'd mod parent down, but I'd rather explain why I disagree...

    Why would you mod someone down just because you disagree?

  15. Re:Pssst! on Ghostly Ring Found Circling Dead Star · · Score: 1

    In the UK (and in any country that uses the same "million" system) a "million billion" is 10^6 × 10^12 = 10^18 and is called a "trillion," which is already greater than the US' "quadrillion" (since, as a previous poster already pointed out, 10^6 × 10^9 = 10^15)

  16. Re:How about 2 sabers? on The Wiimote As Yoda Intended - A Lightsaber · · Score: 1

    Sure, using the nunchuck to use the Force is a cool idea, but being able to play as Darth Maul has its attraction as well.

    If this is what you mean by 'attraction'... by all means, go for it.

    And don't forget to post the link to YouTube

  17. Re:I wish they had given my Rachel one... on Girl's Heart Regenerates With Artificial Assist · · Score: 2, Interesting

    March 20th, 2005, and my girlfriend also died because her heart suddenly decided not to work anymore. She was 25.

    Coincidentally enough, her name was also Rachel.

    The news in the article are truly awesome. There may not be enough hearts for everyone, but at least with this machine they'll all get a better shot at pulling through, instead of just staying there waiting helplessly.

  18. Re:This is why I read Slashdot on How To Turn a Mini Maglite Into a Laser · · Score: 1

    ... in Japan. Or in Korea, if they're old people.

  19. Re:Light is out of control! on SCO Chairman Fights to Ban Open Wireless Networks · · Score: 1

    I know, let's begin with seeking criminal charges against that one dude who had the brilliant idea of saying, "let there be light."

    Because all this is obviously His fault.

  20. Re:Piracy = Freedom on How to Turn A Music Lover to Piracy · · Score: 1

    Yes, but now all of Slashdot knows you enjoy such music.

  21. Re:Bah humbug. on America's Worst Christmas Parties · · Score: 1
    Finally, unionize.

    I fail to see what being ionized has to do with anything here.

  22. Re:In reply to the story... on Give an Internet Freedom Disk · · Score: 1

    I'll give them a high-energy drink, accelerated to 0.8c, courtesy of LHC.

  23. Tab Mix Plus on Firefox 2.0 Posted a Day Early · · Score: 1

    There is a new Tab Mix Plus version up for testing, and it does work on FF 2.0. So far, I haven't had any problems with it.

  24. Re:What happened? on IE7 Released and Available for Download · · Score: 2, Funny

    I may be more paranoid than you, but I usually use wget to download NcFTP to get Moz builds.

  25. But how? on Miami Court Orders Take Two to Hand Over Bully · · Score: 1

    You know, all these Jack Thompson stories keep popping up here and there. But has anyone ever asked him, in response to all his claims about "training" killers and bullies and inspiring school violence, how would these games do it, according to him?

    Like, with actual scientific studies and the like?
