  1. Re:IFTTT on 'My Heroic and Lazy Stand Against IFTTT' (pinboard.in) · · Score: 1

    Great tip. Thanks! :) Fun to use and indeed powerful. Oddly enough, when I installed IFTTT I thought that it would do what Automate does.

  2. Re:Meanwhile on Facebook Now Supports PGP To Send You Encrypted Emails · · Score: 1

    Slashdot still doesn't offer https support.

    Get in line, I'm waiting for UTF-8! ;)

  3. Yeah... but.... on New Cargo Ship Is 488 Meters Long · · Score: 1

    It is 488 meters long and 74 meters wide

    Yeah... but, how many football stadiums is that?

    big stars, bigger explosions, and top-notch special effects

  7. Re:FireFoxConn OS on Foxconn Betting Big On Firefox OS · · Score: 1

    No Microsoft flamewar. No unicode support. lame

  8. Assange doppelganger on One Year Since Assange Took Refuge in Ecuadorian Embassy · · Score: 1

    This is a very crazy idea, but what if a Julian Assange body double exited the embassy?

    I think that would be very interesting to see.

  9. Re:Coporate Policy Stifling Innovation Also on White House Announces Reforms Targeting Patent Trolls · · Score: 1

    Sir, sorry to disturb you, but I was passing by and found some of these
    on the floor. Are they yours? ;)

  10. Ugly on A Serious Proposal To Fix Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    I look at Windows 8 and makes me miss Win7 GUI. This however is an improvement over Win7 and is by far the best UI mock-up for Windows 8 I've seen. Microsoft should just hire this guy.

  11. Easy fix! on Snapchats Don't Disappear · · Score: 5, Funny

    All they need to do is create the ".NoMediaNoMedia" file. This will keep the photos and the file ".NoMedia" from being viewed on the device.

    Not according to Betteridge Law.

    Oh... I see... nevermind then.

    I expect more than this from the Slashdot editors!!!

    In Soviet Samsung, TV eye controls YOU! ;)

  16. Re:or emeritus professors.... on Oxford Temporarily Blocks Google Docs To Fight Phishing · · Score: 1

    As the article notes, a senior professor considered a world expert in Aztec culture or hunting Higgs Boson might

    I understand your point and I partially agree with it, but IMHO a doctor that only knows about medicine, will never be a good doctor.
    Don't you think is valuable for a doctor to know some basic knowledge about psychology and/or sociology for example? I think it is. Not a Phd in those fields, but some basic knowledge sure will be useful in his career and make him a better doctor.

    Back on topic, I think that the PC and the Internet are amazing tools, which knowing how to use them will make you a better professional in your chosen profession.

  17. Shuuuush! on Google Store Sends User Information To App Developers · · Score: 1

    Hey guys he is telling the truth, we need to stop him from ruining this flamewar!

    I don't know about you but I certainly don't mind if they defrag my living room!

    I'm sorry, but in order to defrag your room is required at least 15% of free space. ;)

  20. Obligatory... on Slashdot Mobile: Now For Tablets As Well As Phones · · Score: 2

    But does it have support for UTF-8? :)

  21. As a portuguese... on Sub-Ice Antarctic Lake Vida Abounds With Life · · Score: 1

  22. Re:I'm not an Apple fan so... on UK Court of Appeal Reprimands Apple Over Mandated Samsung Statement · · Score: 1

    ... and here we see the birth of a internet meme ;)

  23. Congratulations on the 15 years! on Thanks For Reading: 15 Years of News For Nerds · · Score: 1

    I have learned alot of stuff about a good number of topics thanks to the interesting and insightful comments. To the community, my sincere thank you and please keep sharing your knowledge.

    /. has been under some criticism (quite rightfully) about the bad writing of most summaries. But one thing that distinguishes this site from others, is that normally the conversation, around even a uninteresting not-for-nerds story, brings a interesting discussion, thanks to the good comment's system and community.

    Don't ruin what /. has of value and keep evolving. Like others have already said, embrace support for todays standard web technologies and for sure well be around for other 15 years ;)

  24. If the headline... on Who Cares If Samsung Copied Apple? · · Score: 2

  25. Re:When you can't innovate on Canadian Copyright Board To Charge For Music At Weddings, Parades · · Score: 2

    Watch out, soon we will have to pay to voice our protests against it.

    I believe that is called "lobbying".

    Or "bribing". Depends on the country, thought.
