  4. Re:I would be embarassed to be Italian if... on Italian Draft Wiretapping Law Under Fire · · Score: 4, Informative

    Unlikely, since Berlusconi proposed it to avoid further problems to himself and his gang with Italian justice.

  5. Re:I feel on Zynga Investment May Herald Google Games · · Score: 1

    They want money, not quality!

  6. Re:Silly, inferior mammals on Some Birds Can See Magnetic Fields · · Score: 1

    And to make you feel worse, they even poo on your head.

  7. Jobs answer on Users Report Foul Play In App Store Rankings, Purchases · · Score: 2, Funny

    Just avoid hold it in that way.

  8. Re:For a day? on Local Newspapers Use F/OSS For a Day · · Score: 1

    No.
    Having other stuff between the image, tool palette, layers... is highly annoying and distracting.
    Users have asked for it for ages, but GIMP developers are probably too proud to admit their interface sucks.

  9. Pointless on Do Scientists Understand the Public? · · Score: 1

    How can you expect people to understand science when a good percentage still read horoscopes? Believe in creationism? Use homeopathic remedies? Is scared by chemtrails?

  10. Other problems on The Tuesday Birthday Problem · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "I have two children, one of whom is a boy born in the first day of the year. What's the probability that my other child is a boy?"
    "I have two children, one of whom is a boy born in January. What's the probability that my other child is a boy?"
    "I have two children, one of whom is a boy born in Winter. What's the probability that my other child is a boy?"

    Do they give different probabilities?

  11. Re:Oh Please on Developers Expect iOS and MacOS To Merge · · Score: 0, Troll

    And as soon as Jobs will announce in some future keynote:
    "We are merging iOS & MacOS during the next year since personal computers are things of the past."

    "Hail Steve! Good move! We were waiting for it! Let's hurry and burn our computers!"

    Yes Nintendo, who do you believe you are? Apple?

    I've heard it will introduce Ius primae noctis
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Droit_de_seigneur

    The worrying part will be reading how Apple fanbois will be very proud of having Jobs "test ride" their brides.

  14. Re:Old, old news on Why Being Wrong Makes Humans So Smart · · Score: 1

    And CEOs that bankrupt their companies become CEOs of larger companies.

  15. Re:baloney! on Struggling To Bridge the Casual-Hardcore Game Gap · · Score: 1

    From "Mario" to "Diablo" the gap is quite significative: class choice and associated abilities learning, quests, characters and items statistics...
    When to play successfully a game you need to memorize stuff and do math, you jump from casual to hardcore.

  16. Re:Islam question on Pakistani Lawyer Wants Mark Zuckerberg Executed · · Score: 1

    Just look for the meaning of the word Jihad.

  17. Re:Irresponsible on Google Researcher Issues How-To On Attacking XP · · Score: 1

    What would have been a good time for him to publish it?
    The same day Microsoft will fix it? The day after? The day before?

    They didn't fix it in 5 days. What if the fix will happen in one week? In one month?

    Two words:

    Uwe Boll

    What is Seven?

  24. Re:Truth VS Advertising on Google Stops Ads For "Cougar" Sites · · Score: 1

    The cougar site, however, is relatively unambiguous by name.

    Could not be the opposite for young people? I assume that for a 8 years old child, the name "CougarLife" would seem related to big cats habits.

  25. Re:Simple fix on Your Computer Or iPad Could Be Disrupting Sleep · · Score: 1

    If you get a girlfriend she will put all those computer things away at night. You also get to have sex and cuddle and spoon her, making it really easy to fall a sleep. It's the easiest and simplest fix.

    You must have missed the "Slashdotters" part.
