  1. Re:So, Apple fanboys on Apple To Stream a Product Launch Live For the First Time · · Score: 1

    I believe they would like their crow with rounded corners, easy to use, and stylishly designed.

    Within the realm of what is possible I think that it is more likely that a foxcon employee would commit suicide live in order to get better working conditions for his fellow workers vs same employee doing a live streaming product launch that would only get said employee fired.

    I would think that a live streaming suicide is more likely.

    So reporting on a news release about the fact that an upcoming news release will happen live.

    Ok, so since they serve up fewer web pages they are loosing money?

    I'm not talking potential money involving things I will not do such as viewing the news organizations main page. That is like when Congress including the cost saving of changing daylight savings on the economy to counter the cost of something stupid they wanted.

    And besides, I use an ad-blocker so I wouldn't be seeing the ads anyway.

  7. Re:Nutrients on No Microbes In First Sample From Lake Vostok · · Score: 1

    The article is concluding that there are zero microbes down there, so any nutrients present would be irrelevant

    If there is no food you will not find things eating said food.

    I agree, information should be freely accessible.

    We may disagree though on how that should be accomplished.

  9. Re:It's not a bad system IMO on Brazilian Newspapers Leave Google News En Masse · · Score: 1

    I go to googles news page, I see a story headline, I click the little arrow to find who all is reporting the story, and I then follow links directly to the news sites story.

    How is this not saving the news companies money?

    Those who want less profits are those who are seeking less profits. They don't quite know that what they want is less profits, but that will be the result of the actions they want to take.

  11. Re:What Happened to linux and tech?? on Making a Slashdot Omelet · · Score: 2

    A lot of the linux enthusiasts have moved to OSX, hence the reduction of linux stories and more apple stories.

  12. Re:Nutrients on No Microbes In First Sample From Lake Vostok · · Score: 1

    Yes, and the reason that there is not a significant amount of bacteria in a clean room is because there is nothing for them to eat.

    So really this shouldn't be a surprise since one should ask, if there are no nutrients in the water why should we expect there to be bacteria there?

  13. Nutrients on No Microbes In First Sample From Lake Vostok · · Score: 2

    So what exactly do they suspect these bacteria have been eating down there in the deep dark cold?

  14. Re:Access on Eben Moglen Explains Freedom and Free Software in Two Video Interviews · · Score: 1

    My point was that slashdot probably doesn't really care if you do or do not view their advertisements.

    I agree with you that there really is no reason why my comment should be modded up.

  15. Re:Meh. on Below-Expected Earnings For Google Posted Early, Trading Halted · · Score: 2

    Ain't capitalism grand?

    Don't you mean "Ain't stock markets grand?"?

    There is no requirement for capitalism to make use of stock markets.

    Thanks, didn't think to look at the section between the media player and the comments, I would have figured a link to the transcript would be in the summary.

    Wow. thanks, I didn't noticed that.

    Also I, like many here, read slashdot at work and if you are reading a web page you may be doing some research or something, but if you are watching a video then it is pretty clear you are not doing your job.

  19. Re:It's a feature not a bug on Eben Moglen Explains Freedom and Free Software in Two Video Interviews · · Score: 1

    The transcript is so I and others can skip sitting there watching and absorbing.

    I am always amazed when someone mentions the advertising on this site since almost everyone uses ad-blockers theses days, but also if you are in good standing slashdot gives you the option of not seeing the advertisements.

    I really don't think slashdot makes much from displaying advertisements.

    Now if slashvertisements are real, well they may make some money off those.

  21. It's a feature not a bug on Eben Moglen Explains Freedom and Free Software in Two Video Interviews · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's why, instead of editing this interview Timothy Lord did with him, we simply cut it in half, removed a little introductory and end conversation, and let the Professor roll on.

    Yea, that's the ticket, we don't need editing, just cut the video in two. Also, lets make sure to remove context like introductions.

    Ok, since all you did was cut the video in two and remove context, did you at least make a transcript this time?

    Yes, the world is worrying about the nuclear research program of a country that thinks a nuclear research program is more beneficial to them than being in control of their own currency.
