  1. Re:If only on Microsoft's Xbox To Have Streaming TV Service? · · Score: 1

    If only there was a way to get individual channels that you want to watch a la carte without having to buy a full package worth of crap...

  2. home routers on IPv6 Traffic Remains Minuscule · · Score: 5, Interesting

    How many home routers support IPv6?

  3. Re:Brain Activity on Gadget Tracks Brainwaves As You Watch TV · · Score: 1

    This sounds suspiciously like the plot of Batman Forever.

  4. Re:Refreshing honesty? on WordPress Hacked, Attackers Get Root Access · · Score: 2

    99% of the comments on the wordpress post are exactly like yours. Everyone is treating it like it's not even a problem.

  5. Re:RTFA on SSL and the Future of Authenticity · · Score: 1

    Oof. I stand informed.

    Are you positive GoDaddy is being picked on because of the hunting thing? There are definitely many more reasons to not trust the security of GoDaddy.

  7. Re:Watching the Waters on Editing Wikipedia Helps Professor Attain Tenure · · Score: 1
    Oops. Misread the website name. I did miss the attribution at the bottom of the article. However, I would say that at least, the slashdot summary should relink or not specify that Liana Davis wrote in Watching the Watchers, and at the very most, they didn't accurately follow the attribution clause if Hugh Pickens easily mistook Liana Davis as a writer for that blog.

  8. Watching the Waters on Editing Wikipedia Helps Professor Attain Tenure · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what Watching the Waters is, but this article is an exact copy of what's in the wikimedia blog.

  9. is it lactose free on Chinese Scientists Make Cow Producing Human-Like Milk · · Score: 1

    for those of us that are lactose intolerant

  10. Re:Link to the notes: on FBI Wants You To Solve Encrypted Notes From Murder · · Score: 1

    Even outside of all the nontextual stuff that would be lost, I'm not even sure what some of the letters are. They look very ambiguous. Who should decide what letter it actually is? I think it's less helpful to provide a plain text format, because then you could possibly be leading people who would be helpful down an incorrect path.

  11. I didn't start until last year. on Ask Slashdot: How/Where To Start Watching Dr. Who? · · Score: 1

    I started with the first season of the modern ones. Hooked me, and now I've seen all the modern ones as well as the specials. I would suggest the same thing. The older ones move much slower.

  12. Re:Very misleading title on Online Poker Chip Thief Gets Two Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    Zynga can sell them to you through Zynga. You can't sell them through Zynga.

  13. Re:Actually, this isn't all bad on AT&T To Acquire T-Mobile From Deutsche Telekom · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself. It will not be an improvement for all existing customers. If you live in Manhattan (or inside other major cities, rather than the suburbs), you get the fastest data speeds (HSPA+), and the only drop calls are when you're talking to someone on ATT or going too deep into the subway. Merging with ATT means 4x the number of customers of T-Mo sitting on probably only twice as many backhauls. Previously the pipes were not crowded when you were a t-mobile customer, now they will full of iPhone users.

  14. Re:A fair way of doing things on The Politics of ICANN · · Score: 2

    why are we separating by country? the internet is an international community. We all go to the same slashdot.org, why would you want to make it slashdot.org.us?

  15. extraterritorial on Making the Case For Microscopic Life In Meteorites · · Score: 1

    who are their owners, exactly? because they are not electable, they shouldn't have to answer to anyone. are you saying they get payouts? is there any record of this?

  17. Re:The moral of the story on Musician Jailed Over Prank YouTube Video · · Score: 1

    many parts of the US have plenty of pet chickens. i imagine many parts of australia can be very similar to many parts of the us in that respect.

  18. Re:Here's what he's doing on Man Open Sources His Genetic Data · · Score: 3, Informative

    The genetic data he is making public domain are the 1 million SNPs that 23andme.com compile. SNPs are the 1% that is different from person to person and this is just 10% of that 1%. So it does not cover the 99% of DNA that is the same between people.

  19. Re:Pathetic on Microsoft's New Plan For Keeping the Internet Safe · · Score: 1

    Do you remove it as a trusted root on your browsers?

  20. Re:Pathetic on Microsoft's New Plan For Keeping the Internet Safe · · Score: 1

    I think the it would have to be a third party company that the consumer and the bank would both need to trust. Like how we trust verisign to prove the identity of an https provider. I don't think it's a good solution, though.

  21. Re:Great idea! on Prison Cell Phone Smuggling Out of Control · · Score: 3, Insightful

    inmates get cellphones from people who are not in jail. internet commenters are morons.

  23. Re:Cheating? on Bing Is Cheating, Copying Google Search Results · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's like a student cheating on his homework by copying the smart kid. It will only work as long as the smart kid sticks around.

  24. Re:A Bit Left Off on NASA Pitches Heavy Lift Vehicle To Congress · · Score: 3, Informative
