    When that is one serviceable translation, an unserviceable one to certainly read I would not like.

  2. Old provern on Independent Human Interface Guidelines · · Score: 0

    using new and experimental interface styles, spurring developers to emulate these styles in their own applications. Unfortunately, because Apple provides neither guidelines nor code for developers to work with, the implementation of these interface styles and features by third parties can be lopsided and directionless
    Those who do not understand unix are doomed to reimplement it, badly.

    buisness ... you would loose readership ... colume ... we haven't hear of
    As you've demonstrated beyond doubt that you're a professional journalist I'll bow to your superior knowledge of the subject.

    They're laughing and pointing because it's supposed to go shiny side out
  6. Re:I'd like to say... on Digg.com Attempts To Suppress HD-DVD Revolt · · Score: 3, Funny

    there is a kind of "censorship" every day on slashdot because the stories chosen and disgarded are those chosen and disgarded by the editors, not you.
    That's not really censorship. It would be censorship if they were making the decision based on the contents of the stories, but an obvious prerequisite for that is missing.
  7. Re:A good design on How to Stop Digg-cheating, Forever · · Score: -1

    Since when did "exponentially" become a synonym for "much"?

  8. oh noes!!! eleventyone!!!! on Has Open Source Jumped the Shark? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I was into Open Source in the old days when they just played small gigs, before they sold out and went commercial. Seriously, TFA sounds like it's written by a whiny emo kid who's sulking because his favourite band aren't cool now that more than 3 people have heard of them.

  9. Re:Commie Chinese only need ONE chinese sale on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: -1

    Please note that I didn't wrap any of those terms in scare quotes.

  11. Re:Commie Chinese only need ONE chinese sale on Only 244 Genuine Windows Vista's Sold in China · · Score: -1

    A very similar scenario is playing in China where a tiny fraction of the population accounts for nearly all of the income from the economic boom.
    It can't be so. Communists believe in equality!
  12. Re:Cashing out on When Tax Day Comes to Azeroth · · Score: 0, Funny

    Isn't it time we had a separate /. section for all this virtual taxation nonesense? They could run a competition to design for the logo for it! I propose a piggy bank with acne.

  13. Re:The excuse... on Prior Art On Verizon Patents · · Score: 0, Funny

    As long as they met their quota they seemed to be able to be bums the rest of the week...

  17. Re:Thank God for Darknets... on Web Scanning Technology for Copyright Violations · · Score: -1

    The actual patent reads like a maths paper with lots of buzzwords.
    So does the article, but what else do you expect from eldavojohn?
  18. Re:slashdotit sucks on WTO Again Sides With Antigua Over Online Gambling · · Score: -1

    Slashdot takes 4/1 fairly far every year
    To 3/31 of the following year. That ought to be far enough for anyone.

    You missed out "role" - it should be role (strictly speaking, with a little hat over the o that I have no idea how to type).
