    Correction. Title should read Piracy In Developing Countries Driven By Prices

    -- as in greater than zero.

    For: 1.) You will be arrested. 2.) You will be arrested. 3.) You will be arrested. 4.) You will be arrested.

  3. Ahh, but still.... on Researchers Turn Mice Into Wine Snobs · · Score: 1

    the individual mice were able to discriminate the learned red wine from other liquors, including white wine, rosé wine, sake, and plum liqueur

    But still can't tell the difference between Diet Dr. Pepper and regular Dr. Pepper.

  4. WTF on Ask Slashdot: Facebook Archiving? · · Score: 1

    Where in the hell did the pictures come from to begin with? Why not start with the obvious location (source) and back THAT up.

  6. Re:Only $12~18K? on Device Addresses Healthcare Language Barrier · · Score: 2

    With the low cost of modern computer technology, why does this device have to be THAT pricey? Just wondering.

    Are you kidding? You must not be familiar with the US health care system...

    You nailed it! I don't program to accomplish tasks. I do it for the paycheck :)

  8. Re:Am I missing something?! on Comment Profanity by Language · · Score: 1

    If I were a boilermaker and was assembling boilers (the inside of which is never seen by non-boilermakers), I have enough respect for my craft and other craftsmen not to stamp the lining with profanities.

    However links to xkcd.com, would be tolerated on the inside of my water heater.

  9. Am I missing something?! on Comment Profanity by Language · · Score: 1

    Honestly. I wouldn't ever consider checking in code that contained profanities. Same goes for test data and exceptions. Honestly, when a program fails, its not acceptable that the user see profanities. Its the mark of a poor programmer.

    A bad craftsman blames his tools. Cursing in code or in comments is about as unprofessional as you can get.

  10. Re:How did this get through? on Android Honeycomb Born Too Early · · Score: 1

    ...so early adopters will be stuck mostly with regular Android apps. Wow! Big surprise.

    The owner of the first fax machine was an idiot. After a few months it became an mainstay of tech.

    You did the ol' George Costanza Frogger Move Across The Street.

  12. Been done before.... on Physicists Build Bigger 'Bottles' For Antimatter · · Score: 1

    I witness this first hand; the first one was built in the 1980s in NYC. Quite simple really. Load a trap here, open, unlock the system. Insert the trap, release, close, lock the system. Set your entry grid, neutralize your field and... the light is green, the trap is clean..

  13. How she could have avoided getting stuck.. on Shoplifter Gets Caught When Her Mobility Cart Gets Stuck · · Score: 1

    She wouldn't have got her cart stuck if she was riding in a custom conversion mobility tank chair!! Enjoy...

    By the way, the US can always deal with China by economical means

    You've got that the other way around. We are indebted to China.

  20. Riiiiight.... on Charity Raising Money To Buy Used Satellite · · Score: 2

    As soon as they get a couple 100,000 users (most of which will likely be in developed nations, just don't wanna pay) they'll figure out a way to start charging. No ISP is free.

  21. Re:Scary... on Hackers Penetrate Nasdaq Computer Networks · · Score: 1

    Are we really so deep in stacks of heavily leveraged electronic monopoly money that continued access to electronic exchanges is as important as continued access to electricy?

    Yes. It is as or more important. But you found the right website to gripe on.

    Agreed. Parent should complain how he's broke somewhere else.

    You can learn how to play ball or you can watch from the sideline.

  23. Re:Why is this news? on Woman Gets Revenge Courtesy of Google Images · · Score: 1

    Double standard is right.. If it were pornographic pictures of the girlfriend it would generally go unnoticed.

  25. Travolta-bot on Texas Student Attends School As a Robot · · Score: 1

    They attempted a similar robot when John Travolta came down with this affliction in the 80s. They couldn't teach the robot the hand jive so the whole project was scrapped.
