  1. Re:Anonymity on Anonymous Blogger Outed By Politician · · Score: 1

    First, true. But AMENDMENT, also

    That, to me, seems more important. They had to change the constitution to add this one in. They did not think it important enough to include in the original constitution

  2. Re:Easy solution! on PRS Demands License Fee To Play Music To Horses · · Score: 1

    Maybe if she plays it backwards the PRS would have to pay HER?

  3. Re:CORRECTION on BASH 4.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Setting the clock on a VCR is absolutely horrible from a usability point of view. I, personally, am quite technically competent (I read Slashdot, after all!), I know how to set the clock on my VCR, and yet I refuse to do so because it just feels so wrong

  4. Re:Slashdot loves piracy on Valve Takes Optimistic View of Piracy · · Score: 1

    > Most software/recording industry scare stories make the ludicrous assumption that every pirate copy represents a lost sale.

    Maybe not a lost sale, but every openly available cheaper or free copy of your content certainly devalues your content

  5. Re:Not good enough on Dvorak Layout Claimed Not Superior To QWERTY · · Score: 1

    > How are sites slashdotted when nobody reads TFAs?

    Because the ones that comment on the store don't read TFA, but those that read TFA don't comment on it?

  6. Re:But... on Scientists Hack Cellphone To Detect Diseases · · Score: 1

    Travel broadens the mind. Travel to those countries and find out for yourself instead of making cockeyed assumptions

  7. Re:A great example for the world on Indian Rocket Blasts into Space · · Score: 1

    Not quite.

    As I understand it, ISRO was formed in the 60s to develop space technology for weather monitoring and communications.

    Also, as I understand it, India had publicly avowed to only use atomic and nuclear technology for scientific and power generation purposes until the BJP Government in the late 1990s (there are, however, rumours that research into nuclear weapons and delivery systems has been going on since the 80s).

  8. Haven't they been doing this for years? on Indian Rocket Blasts into Space · · Score: 1

    Haven't the Indians been launching satellites for years? Wasn't that why ISRO was formed in the 60s - for communications and weather sensing satellites as opposed to manned missions and weapons?

    This particular form of rocket may be new, but everyone in the comments seems to think that the fact they they have a space program and that they have launched a satellite is new. Sourely that has been going on for years

    Please correct me if I am wrong.

  9. Re:Why aren't they cheaper? on The Light Bulb That Can Change the World · · Score: 1

    Here in the UK, the local council and energy providers have been sending us a few bulbs in the mail every year

  10. Re:Oh the irony on Indian State Encourages Microsoft Removal · · Score: 1

    The communist-led coallition government in Kerala is a legislative assembly and is democratically elected. The term Communist refers to economic and social policy, not to who enacts that policy and how it is decided. Get your facts right
