  1. I've got a dog toy that looks just like a Buckyball

  2. I'll look elsewhere in the future on Apple Exits "Green Hardware" Certification Program · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I think this is pretty poor form on Apples part. I love my macbook, but I'm not really interested in supporting a company that is going backwards environmentally.

  3. Re:I wonder.. on "Mini-Factories" To Make Medicine Inside the Body · · Score: 2

    Insulin is a protein like many hormones so I'm sure this is something they are thinking about.

  4. No, just RIM on Does RIM's "Huge Loss" Signal Wider Handset Market Deterioration? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sad to see a great Canadian tech company fail, but they just didn't keep up with changing market demands. Everyone now wants the latest games and movie s on their smartphones. It's not all about text and email anymore.

  5. Re:low hanging fruit on Carderprofit.cc Was FBI Carding Sting, Nets 26 Arrests · · Score: 1

    This might be true, but they can use them to follow the chain up to the bigger criminals or at least get clues as to who they are.

  6. Re:Please, Please, Please start a trend. on UK's 'Three Strikes' Piracy Measures Published · · Score: 2

    I'm sure this will happen for many reasons, but it will probably lead to more access points being secured properly rather than the law being changed. I think the internet is reaching importance that it should be considered a right that can't be taken away.

  7. Re:Easy enough on Ask Slashdot: Low Cost Way To Maximize SQL Server Uptime? · · Score: 1

    Make sure staff can't use the computer to surf the internet with at least a password on the computer... this is a very common problem that causes a lot of server issues in this type of environment.

  8. Most religions don't pay very well on Apple Store Employees Soak Up the Atmosphere, But Not Much Cash · · Score: 1
  9. Mediafire on How Madefire Is Changing the Visual Grammar of Comics · · Score: 3, Funny

    Did anyone else think that said "mediafire" or was that just me?

  10. Since they got their first real user today on Reddit Cofounder Says Site Was Built By a Horde of Fake Accounts · · Score: 2

    They can remove the fake accounts!

  11. Re:Stats disagree on Kaspersky Says Lack of Digital Voting Will Be Democracy's Downfall · · Score: 1

    Also, as the number of voters drop, the significance of each vote goes up so it will always reach a tipping point where people will care again.

  12. In soviet kasperskistan on Kaspersky Says Lack of Digital Voting Will Be Democracy's Downfall · · Score: 1

    Digital voting votes you!

  13. Re:um... on Fedora Introduces Offline Updates · · Score: 1

    I think Fedora is intended to be "bleeding edge" technology wise, so they are trying something new (for Linux) and I guess they'll see how it works?

  14. Less is better on How Would You Redesign the TLD Hierarchy? · · Score: 2

    Seeing how com, net and org all lost their meanings in the end, I think we'd be better off with just one general TLD and country specific TLDs to be run as each country wishes. Possible exception for some sort of "trusted" TLD as well, to be issued only to certified organizations.

  15. Re:But /. said Linux don't get malware? on Six Arrested Over Japanese Android Porn Virus · · Score: 1

    Technically trojan horse not virus, but it's hard to review a program and it's purpose on a mobile device while doing other things (one handed web browsing...)

  16. Re:Bring your own network to work on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Take On HTTPS Snooping? · · Score: 1

    While this is possible, it is also possible to enter the "debug" mode on your mobile device to find how what tower you are connecting to, and from there you can find out who owns it etc.

  17. Really appreciated on Why VCs Really Reject Startups · · Score: 2

    I really appreciated his feedback on my recent venture idea pitched to them: Step 1: Gather underpants
    Step 2: ...
    Step 3: Profit!
    Apparently I need to figure out step 2...

  18. Re:Is it necessary the vien come from a dead human on Vein Grown From Her Own Stem Cells Saves 10-Year-Old · · Score: 1

    To receive a transplant, you'd have to go on anti-rejection drugs which have a lot of problems.

  19. Re:uhhh... on Ask Slashdot: What's Your Beef With Windows Phone? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think it's the size of them that looks silly, looks like a kids toy.

  20. Re:how stupid are people? on Employees Admit They'd Walk Out With Stolen Data If Fired · · Score: 1

    I think it has to do with the "entitlement generation".

  21. Re:Unit cannot be resold as received? on NewEgg: Installing Linux Breaks Laptop · · Score: 1

    This is why I always buy new laptops with the smallest drive they come with, and buy a new 500 gig which I install at the same time. Keep the original just for warranty returns and repairs - keeps your personal data safe as well.

  22. Re:Patents on Patent Troll Sues Google, AOL Over Search 'Snippets' and Ad Serving Tech · · Score: 1

    Since they often use broad wording, you see people being sued for internet inventions over a patent that was intended to cover a fax machine etc.

  23. Re:Funding? on Patent Troll Sues Google, AOL Over Search 'Snippets' and Ad Serving Tech · · Score: 2

    I wish that if they can't get rid of software patents, they could just change them so that the most someone could be liable for is the possible percentage of lost revenue for the plaintiff. In other words, if the plaintiff is a troll and has no product the most they could sue for is $0, because they haven't lost any sales.

  24. Re:Gossip - no wonder women dominate on Why Young Males Are No Longer the Most Important Tech Demographic · · Score: 1

    It will be interesting to see how this changes in the next few years.

  25. Must be because of on Canada No Pirate Nation: Global Leader In Music Download Sales · · Score: 1

    Must be because of our strong Canadian laws against piracy and strict enforcement against - oh wait...
