  1. Re:Rogue-like on Looking Back At Dungeons & Dragons · · Score: 1
  2. Rogue-like on Looking Back At Dungeons & Dragons · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Rogue-like games are here since 1972!
    And you have been killed by a troll!

  3. That's not news on US Youth Have Serious Mental Health Issues · · Score: 1

    Not every American boy or girl read Slashdot!

  4. Intel CPUs? on Intel Launches Wi-Di · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PCs running Intel's latest generation of Core processors

    I don't see the point here. How can I see from WiFi whether you use Intel, AMD, ARM or whatever else?
    Sounds more like advertisement than technology!

  5. White House must pay the Greek government on Mexico Wants Payment For Aztec Images · · Score: 1

    For using the Corinth style capitals and columns in its buildings ...

  6. Facebook vs X-Factor on Facebook Campaign Decides UK Christmas Music Charts · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm not sure which one is worse for the Christmas, Mankind and Intelligence, though,

  7. Re:It's All About CONTROL! on After Berlusconi Attack, Italy Considers Web Censorship · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Freedom is not for you is you are not someone. That's it.

  8. That's already in place. on After Berlusconi Attack, Italy Considers Web Censorship · · Score: 3, Informative

    In Italy you are not allowed to reach some international websites, mainly related to betting.
    You get directed to a generic web page (hosted at the government company SOGEI Spa) that says that you are not allowed to visit those websites.
    If you are in Italy you can try http://www.ladbrokes.com/ or http://www.skybet.com/.
    Can you spell "freedom" in Italian? We cannot.

  9. Organic? on Did Chandrayaan Find Organic Matter On the Moon? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It depends on what do they mean with "organic"!
    At the bare minimum it's "anything that contains carbon". Which is not that hard to find when you stroll close to a star.

  10. Awesome on The Star Wars Christmas Special Still Exists · · Score: 4, Informative
  11. If only I could on Cool-Tether Links Phones' Bandwidth To Make High-Speed Hotspots · · Score: 1

    attach to multiple free wifi hotspot I see from my room ...

  12. What if on Bomb-Proof Wallpaper Developed · · Score: 1

    an unstoppable cannon ball hits and unbreakable wall?

  13. Italian business on Intel Allows Release of Full 4004 Chip-Set Details · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It'd be nice to remember that the Italian Business was a good thing in this case at least!

  14. And then? on Toyota Develops New Flower Species To Reduce Pollution · · Score: 1

    What are the long term plans for the foliage disposal?
    Once those leaves will be stuffed with the bad gases, they will die. And then?
    Back to the soil and the athmosphere?
    Nice solution then!

  15. SDK 2.0 is not android 2.0! on Android 2.0 SDK Released, Google Maps Navigation Announced · · Score: 1

    But it makes a huge hype, anyway!

  16. Art vs Science on Are Software Developers Naturally Weird? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In my opinion real software developers are more like artists than (computer) scientists.
    If you look at artists for all the disciplines, you'll find that almost all of them could fit the concept of weirdness.
    For the good and the bad.
    Divergent thinkers are very often at the base of new (software) solutions to old problems or for a fresh new breakthrough..
    So, yes, very likely developers look weird when compared to anyone else.

  17. Simply .... on Avatars To Have Business Dress Codes By 2013 · · Score: 1

    bullshit!
    I would focus on the contents of electronic communication more than the appearance!
    Provided that I had one other than the default gray outline.

  18. Re:Peer to peer mobile device network on A Mobile Phone Mesh That Can Survive Carrier Network Failure · · Score: 1

    Exaclty. If you add the encryption capability then you'll understand why it's so scaring. For governments and carriers.

  19. Re:Any usefulness? on Darwin's Voyage Done Over, Live · · Score: 1

    Nice. Quite expensive, but nice.

  20. Any usefulness? on Darwin's Voyage Done Over, Live · · Score: 1

    Apart of rising some attention about the Evolution Theory in the (funny) battle against the Intelligent Design, I don't see any usefulness.
    Have those scientists, journalists (?) and artists (??) gained any new knowledge from this trip?

  21. Water problem! on Watermelon Juice Makes Great Biofuel · · Score: 1

    Do those professors know how much water it's needed to grow watermelons?

  22. Re:Do you have non anecdotal evidence? on Why Is Linux Notebook Battery Life Still Poor? · · Score: 1

    ChromeOS is Linux.

  23. Re:Do you have non anecdotal evidence? on Why Is Linux Notebook Battery Life Still Poor? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So maybe it's time for both kernel developers and distribution packagers to focus a little bit more on which hardware users are buying.
    Which is not multi (4+) core servers, but rather cheap laptops and netbooks.
    And, anyway, lower power consumption and better efficiency will probably also benefit the "big iron".

  24. Similar to Italy on Japanese Political Candidates Go Dark Online · · Score: 1

    The candidates are required to shut up in the last days before election.
    Then I'd like to know how they are enforcing such a constraint in a large country.

  25. This is why OSs exist! on The Problems With Porting Games · · Score: 1

    Of course the gaming industry still goes on working on bare metal ...
