  1. Re:Already done before on MIT Hack Turns the Green Building Into a Giant Game of Tetris · · Score: 1

    OK, so where's your practical example of a major hard-hack? Oh wait, you haven't done one. STFU.

  2. Re:Don't you have to enter your password? on Federal Court Allows Class-Action Suit Against Apple Over In-App Purchases · · Score: 1

    Info on creating an app store account with no credit card is here. I would assume purchases can then be made using an iTunes voucher.

  3. Re:Don't you have to enter your password? on Federal Court Allows Class-Action Suit Against Apple Over In-App Purchases · · Score: 1

    Settings > General > Restrictions > In-App Purchases. I don't recall setting it to ON, but it is ON, so that is probably the default.

  4. Re:Why respect copyright or artists? on Aussie Case Unlikely To Solve Piracy Riddle In Fast Broadband World · · Score: 1

    Nice sarcasm. I hope. Either that or by your ethos you have no right to claim wages/salary/benefits from your employer/social security provider (most probably the latter).

    Thanks. And get off my lawn.

  6. Re:Breach of Contract not necessarily IP infringem on The Supreme Court To Rule On Monsanto Seed Patents · · Score: 1

    So there are reasons other than simple greed behind these contracts.

    That reason being the potential mass destruction of staple food crops due to pesticide resistance. Bought about by a corporate effort to monopolise seed. Allow me this; Monsanto, their board, their employees (including yourself) and anybody who provides research, funds, or in any way supports this concept of patented genes in the crop cycle is doing it only out of selfish greed, and should be tried for crimes against humanity.

  7. "Cloud" server? on Ask Slashdot: My Host Gave a Stranger Access To My Cloud Server, What Can I Do? · · Score: 2

    What the hell is a "cloud" server anyway?

    Hey, that's cool! It's a good thing you got an iPad because if you'd bought an android tablet, he'd be able to spell:

    I think the argument is over the accelerated rate of change, not the change itself.

    That may be so (I don't know) but is human activity not responsible for so much farty livestock?

  11. Re:Why not windows on apple? on Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads? · · Score: 1

    People buy Macs for the full Mac experience, including OSX.

  12. Re:OK, I have honest questions: on Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads? · · Score: 1

    If your employees don't believe in your own products enough to use them themselves you should probably question weather or not you want to keep them

    Management with insight would question why their own employees don't believe in their employer's products. The approach you describe is merely pulling wool over one's eyes.

    Those shutters you have on so tightly will fare you well as you progress through life/career/etc

  14. Re:well duh on Microsoft Barring Certain Staff From Buying Macs, iPads? · · Score: 4, Funny

    This is a common misconception spread by anti-apple people, or people who have not used an iPad. Visit any recording studio (home or professional) and you are likely to see iPads being used as instruments, console/transport extensions, composition scratchpads, etc etc. WRT data entry, I wouldn't want to type on one all day, but as a note taking device, the screen based keyboard is perfect for touch typing.

  18. Re:Nothing but the best for me. on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 1

    Or this one:

    Transmission of music data at rates faster than the speed of light seemed convenient, until I realized I was hearing the music before I actually wanted to play it. Apparently Denon forgot how accustomed most of us are to unidirectional time and the general laws of physics. I tried to get used to this effect but hearing songs play before I even realized I was in the mood for them just really screwed up my preconceptions of choice and free will. I'm still having a major existential hangover.

    Would not purchase again.

    Dude, put... down... the keyboard...

  21. Re:more laws on Smartphones More Dangerous Than Alcohol, When Driving · · Score: 1

    I suppose the difference between cops and everybody else is that:

    • Police cars make up a small percentage of the number of vehicles on the road.
    • Police drivers generally undergo advanced driver training which may (or may not) increase their overall driver awareness
    • Attention to in-car devices is essential (and I emphasise "essential") for them to do their job, unlike casual drivers texting and yapping

    Not many ice storms in Australia, mate. Perhaps in the Victorian/New South Wales highlands but most of the phone lines are run underground anyway.

  24. Re:While that 40 minutes a week might help the hea on Scientists Study How Little Exercise You Need · · Score: 1

    Keep it up, Bro. May I suggest you grab a protein shake as soon after exercising as possible - but use this as a meal replacement. And cut out high carb snacks between meals. It can be fun to be slightly hungry, especially when your fitness is improving! Regardless, I know some big guys who race bikes and whup the skinny guys.
