  1. English or Bingo? on Eavesdropping With a Smart TV · · Score: 1

    A article? Really? No-one even reads these before they get posted anymore?

  2. Re:patented keyboard technology? on Typo Keyboard For iPhone Faces Sales Ban · · Score: 1

    Whoosh!

  3. Re:Does anyone actually... on Retail Stores Plan Elaborate Ways To Track You · · Score: 1

    If you are about to hit something a passenger will shut up, or better yet, warn you. The person on the phone will not do either.

  4. Re:Ask any McDonald about mcdonalds.com domain on Microsoft Files Dispute Against Current Owner of XboxOne.com · · Score: 1

    Someone really ought to explain that then and than are not interchangeable.

  5. Re:Must be nice on Wayback Machine Trumps FOI Tribunal · · Score: 1

    I did this when I lived in the UK, they kept sending reminders that if watching TV I needed one but no-one ever came to check. In fact I did not own a TV so it would have been a waste of time anyway, :)

    That was last year, I was hunting a Samsung in June 2012!

  9. Thanks Apple on Apple Tells Retailers To Stop Selling Certain Samsung Devices · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If you hadn't made such a fuss about the Samsung Tabs they would not be so popular today, Here in Australia they are very hard to find, you have to pre-order it while the ipads sit in the shops. I am not suggesting that they are outselling the ipad, but there is a real demand which, in part, has been created by the market leader. What a weird world we are in today!

  13. Re:It's the apps, stupid! on Universal Android Laptop Dock: Microsoft Nightmare, Or Toy? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have an office application on my phone, I forget what it is but I can open Excel an Word files in it. Maybe not as well as MS office but that even depends on the version you have compared to the document author.

    The idea is awesome, all my info on my phone easy to access and work with on the go. It is not going to replace laptops but it is going to dent netbooks.

    Honestly it is like politicians never tell the truth any more, oh wait! :)

  16. Re:I work in the advertising industry on Dish Network Announces Prime Time TV With No Ads · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I work in the advertising industry and it is outrageous how far people can go to abuse others. It isn't free to make all those good tv shows and in my opinion authors should get paid for them. Mostly this is based on advertising on TV. If you don't want advertising, go buy the DVD boxes which don't have them. But have some decency and let people get paid for their hard work. Dish Network is bunch of assholes.

    Fine but don't then fill the DVD's with crap about piracy and advertising other shows, I just bought them to avoid getting the actual show I want to see in an uninterrupted format, let me have it!

  17. Debian + motion + wput on Ask Slashdot: A Cheap, DIY Home Security and Surveillance System? · · Score: 1

    I know this is coming late but a standard Debian install with motion and wput installled uses any USB webcamera to record video on motion detection and the upload the best image (or images) to an FTP server. So you can get local video and also back up images offsite. It is so cheap you can have several of these working independently. I used this system to monitor landlord movement at my last place and got most of the place covered with a laptop and a netbook.

  19. Re:hmm on Employers Need Wind Power Technicians · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Isn't $20 an hour better than no job at all? Or is there some reason the electricians can't work for that amount?

    To be fair TFA states Pacific Time, so it is NASA you need to be complaining to.

    Obviously I didn't read TFA, but I did look at the picture, and it does indeed look like a school project, even down the tape round the squared off potatoes. :-)
