  1. Re:Mandriva Directory Server on Mandriva SA Cedes Control To Mandriva Community · · Score: 1

    > I modified libuser myself to enumerate LDAP accounts.

    Please submit a patch.

  2. TL;DR on Mandriva SA Cedes Control To Mandriva Community · · Score: 1

    "This costs too much, here you do it."

  3. Guess we can't compete with child slave labor on U.S. Imposes Tariffs On Chinese Solar Cells · · Score: 1

    We can't offer lower prices on a superior product because our laborers have frivolous things like "health care" and "vacations" and "eight hour work days."

  4. Re:If you want to impress me on Dolby's TrueHD 96K Upsampling To Improve Sound On Blu-Rays · · Score: 1

    THX has a technology that is available on some laptops and home tuners called Smart Dialog Plus that does that. Also if you're using surround sound the dialog usually comes from the center channel and the left and right speakers. You can enhance the clarity of the dialog by increasing the volume of the center channel and adjusting the center channel width to a lower setting.

  5. Excuse me sir but those are contradictory actions on Comcast To Remove Data Cap, Implement Tiered Pricing · · Score: 1

    > Remove Data Cap

    > Implement Tiered Pricing

    Well, which is it?

  6. It's DSL on Ask Slashdot: Holding ISPs Accountable For Contracted DSL Bandwidth · · Score: 1

    Expecting 3MBit out of copper phone lines is like expecting to reliably shove an elephant through a plastic drinking straw fifty times a second. Certainly, in time, we could develop the technology to shove an elephant through a drinking straw fifty times a second in time and given enough money and effort, but that would be stupid. If you want affordable (relatively speaking) broadband and you can't get a cable modem consider satellite.

  7. Jedi mind tricks on UK Police Roll Out On-the-Spot Mobile Data Extraction System · · Score: 2

    Remove battery. Place battery into glove compartment. Lock glove compartment. Sorry officer, it's locked. I'm going to need a warrant for that search and seizure.

  8. Re:I misunderstood the summary title on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 1

    If you sign every comment with "QED" you are creating a paradoxical statement that cancels.

  9. Yes there are animals other than humans that think on Stone-Throwing Chimp Back In the News With Better Plan · · Score: 1

    Please wake me up when humanity gets over itself.

  10. It's inevitable on Federal Court Rejects NDAA's Indefinite Detention, Issues Injunction · · Score: 2

    Stop struggling. The government will be allowed to imprison anyone for no reason and monitor everything everyone does for no reason. There's no point trying to stop it. Your vote doesn't matter because if the Government doesn't like your vote they'll just change it. We're in a sick downward spiral that will result in revolt, genocide and eventually mass destitution. Already a majority of Americans are out of jobs. The only reason government statistics don't consider a majority of people to be unemployed is because you're only considered unemployed if you can be verified as currently looking for work. According the the US government, you're not unemployed if you've given up looking for a job. Also, if you have a mortgage, the government considers you a small business owner and thus employed. We will only start to recover when the money being hoarded by the obscenely rich is no longer worth anything.

  11. That's one way to get them to go in for testing on FDA Panel Backs First Rapid, Take Home HIV Test · · Score: 1

    What if it was designed so that whether or not you had the HIV virus it showed a positive result? That would be one way to get people to go in for testing.

  12. Re:Processed sugar is the problem on The Mathematics of Obesity · · Score: 1

    The problem with monotheistic religions is that they make people tend toward assuming that one problem has one cause and one solution that is out of reach.

  13. Guess I'll throw away my computer now. on Google Talks About Its Ubuntu Experience · · Score: 1

    > Unity 2D is likely to disappear in 12.10

    No. I don't need compositing to edit a spreadsheet, thanks.

  14. Does it matter if it's legal or not? They're cops. on Connecticut Resident Stopped By State Police For Radioactivity · · Score: 1

    Cop: Scuse me son, your car is radioactive.
    Driver: But it's not illegal to transport radioactive materials. Why are you stopping me?
    Cop: *smashes tail light* Scuse me son, did you know you got a tail light out?

    Or use a backpack instead.

  16. What do you do for work after something like this? on Resumegate Continues At Yahoo: Thompson Out As CEO, Levinsohn In · · Score: 1

    What does someone who was a CEO and gets canned for something like this and well covered by media do for work after something like this? I mean, how could you possibly go to another job without a hiring manager going "oh you're that guy in the news that lied on his resume?"

  17. Re:The List on The 30 Best Features of Windows · · Score: 1

    > #17. Instant search > Oh, you mean like what Linux has had since forever ago. Also, see Dolphin, Semantic Desktop etc. Actually Windows had that first. In fact, Windows had a lot of things that you're claiming "Linux had forever ago" first. Being able to patch together several GNU tools on the command line to simulate a feature built into an OS's desktop does not mean that Linux has that feature. There's a significant difference, for example, between "desktop search" and the "find" command. Desktop search was introduced in Windows 95 at which time most Linux GUI users were using either one of the basic windows-like shells or KDE, which didn't have search built in at that time.
