  16. Re:Confused on Checking For GPL Compliance, When the Code Is Embedded · · Score: 1

    The Slashdot groupthink is opposed to over-the-top copyright law and secretly-drafted legislation, not against reasonable (read: 14 years) copyright terms.

    For someone with such a low UID you should know this.

  17. Re:Slate rumors on Next iPhone — Front-Facing Camera, A4 Processor · · Score: 1

    I certainly hope these new rumors are true, but I'm content to wait for a press release and focus on facts.

    Then you'd better wait for technical specs, not a press release. Press releases are just advertisements, nothing more.

  23. Re:Monaco on Programming With Proportional Fonts? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What you propose would confuse a Scandinavian. Quoting [1]:

            The numeral 0 -- Some writers put a diagonal slash through the
            numeral 0 (zero), a practice that may have originated with early,
            low-resolution computer terminals which displayed a slashed "zero"
            glyph to distinguish it from the capital letter O. This practice is
            confusing to speakers of Danish and Norwegian languages containing
            the letter "Ø", and they prefer to place a dot in the center of zero
            for this purpose.
