  1. corrupt as fuck on Radio Royalty Legislation Described As 'RIAA Bailout' · · Score: 1

    That just shows how ridiculous it all is. internet streaming should never have been any different to radio streaming. So that should be coming down to match radio streaming, not the other way round.

  2. Good news everybody on Electronic Retailers In Europe Now Required To Take Back Old Goods · · Score: 2

    This is a really important step forward for the environment.

  3. confusing name on Microsoft Picks Another Web Standards Fight · · Score: 0

    they have deliberately picked a name which they know it will get shortened to RTC-Web just to maximise the confusion between WebRTC and themselves.

    They are such sly cunts.

  4. Re:Field dependent requirement on Ask Slashdot: How Many of You Actually Use Math? · · Score: 1

    OK that's fine, but just understand that there is no such newspaper as "The Times of London" it is just called "The Times".

  5. Re:You got to add a 'u' and silent 'e' on Ask Slashdot: How Many of You Actually Use Math? · · Score: 1

  6. heard it before for win 7 on Windows 8 Graphics: Microsoft Has Hardware-Accelerated Everything · · Score: 1

    they claimed they did this in windows 7, but it turns out that minimising windows and so on can make audio programmes skip.

  7. thickness on Sony's Thermal Sheet Good As Paste For CPU Cooling · · Score: 1

    isn't the advice to have rather less than 2mm paste between the chip and heatsink?

  8. Re:Sad.. on 2 New Social Networks With Very Different Political Twists · · Score: 2

    After all, it was Cameron (and/or Osborne) that decided to put someone aggresively in favour of news international with personal relationships with key staff in charge of the bid. So if Hunt is bad, Cameron (and/or Osborne) is/are worse.

  9. all changed now on Primary School Girl Told To Stop Photographing and Blogging School Meals · · Score: 3, Informative

    Apparently the Chief of the council was on radio 4 just now and he has reverted the ban live on air. It remains to be seen if this filters down correctly!

  10. Re:Its the words, not the music on Do Headphones Help Or Hurt Productivity? · · Score: 1

    exactly - I like quite fast music without lyrics as it perks me up.

  11. Re:Implied Consent? on 64 Complaints Received On UK Cookie Law · · Score: 2

    yeah i fucking hate this spam copout where implied consent seems to be accepted. resulting in my receiving 2 mobile spam texts a day recently.

  12. metric? on Open Compute Developing Wider Rack Standard · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The first mistake is that they are still talking in inches instead of metric units.

  13. power & accountability on What a Black Box Data Dump Looks Like · · Score: 1

    Someone with that much power should be held to a higher standard of accountability.

  14. very specific regulation on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    i don't really understand why the government wants to get involved in this kind of thing in a specific industry.

  15. Re:The Internet should not be regulated on EU Targets Facebook's Ad System · · Score: 3, Insightful

    specifically the fact that it has become common practice for sites to treat opt-out as informed consent, when its well known that if opt-in was in place extremely low numbers would opt-in.

  16. Re:EU still has some sense left, compared to US on EU Approves Unified Full Body Scanner Regulations · · Score: 1

    yeah fucking manchester airport uses scanners and they're mandatory. pisstake. at least this is going to change.

  17. Re:I've actually been using bing lately on Official "Firefox With Bing" Released · · Score: 1

    Tes its fucking annoying having 2 type more characters than you need 2!

  18. info about what's bad about it? on ACTA Signed By 8 of 11 Participating Countries · · Score: 1

    So what are the actual problems remaining with ACTA as it is signed?

  19. what about across the whole of europe on EU Court Rules Against Exclusive TV Licensing Deal · · Score: 1

    sounds like the EU would be ok with one broadcaster having the rights for the entirety of europe

  20. Re:... and the problem is? on AMD Ports Open-Source Linux GPU Driver To Windows · · Score: 1

    ha I had never thought of this - so in 70 years time all OSS will be usable in closed products. No doubt software will have advanced significantly in my lifetime, but I also expect a lot of OSS software being written now to be still in use (and usable) in 70 years.

  21. Re:let's not forget on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    cool then its safe for me to upgrade ;)

  22. Re:Longstanding multiple monitor issues not fixed on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    i have a laptop with an extra monitor attached to the left and I DO have problems. seems like you're the one spreading FUD to me.

    Or how about we stop throwing around accusations of FUD

  23. Re:let's not forget on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 1

    can you get gnome2 on oneiric?

    'nuff said

  25. Longstanding multiple monitor issues not fixed on Ubuntu 11.10 ('Oneiric Ocelot') Released · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They still haven't made any progress on the issue with multiple monitors whereby the left panel goes in a shitty place depending upon which screen is your main monitor. Mark Shuttleworth weighed in and basically said fuck you we're not fixing it. Even though ~50% of multiple monitor configurations are affected by this.
