  4. Chicago Style Politics at play? on Environmental Enforcement Agents Targeting Guitars · · Score: 1

    The CEO of Gibson has donated to Republican candidates. The CEO of their competitor -- C.F. Martin & Company -- has donated to Democratic candidates. C.F. Martin & Company uses the same wood and isn't being investigated by the government.

  5. Re:How is this on The Copyright Nightmare of 'I Have a Dream' · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The speech contained a message that MLK (presumably) wanted to get out to everyone. Steamboat Willy, not so much.

  6. Re:Hemos Says: "So Long, and Thanks For All The Fi on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    People think that JonKatz left the site years ago. Not true. He still submits stories, but since everyone has him blocked, no one has noticed them for years...

  7. Rob and Steve on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Rob and Steve Jobs both leaving their jobs at the same time!? They must be forming a startup together!

  8. Hey CmdrTaco on Rob "CmdrTaco" Malda Resigns From Slashdot · · Score: 1

    Thanks for Slashdot. I may not have always agreed with you, but I've enjoyed the journey.

  9. For the pilots? on United Pilots To Use iPads For Navigation · · Score: 0

    And this is to help them find the plane, right?

  10. Cheaper? on Motorola's Most Important 18 Patents · · Score: 1

    If they only wanted the patents, wouldn't it have been cheaper just to license them?

  11. If they lost? on What If Android Lost the Patent War? · · Score: 1

    That's why Chuck Norris and Jackie Chan don't usually workout together.

  14. Re:Borders was still open? on Borders Books, Dead At 40 · · Score: 1

    Interesting. They reduced the number of computer books and soon went out of business. CompUSA reduced their number of computer books and soon went out of business. Seems like some sort of pattern...

  15. Too bad, good selection on Borders Books, Dead At 40 · · Score: 1

    I don't shop at Borders because they don't have any locations in my state. But I did visit one in GA a while back. I was really impressed with the selection of computer books they had compared to the book stores around here. It's really sad to hear this now that my local Barnes & Noble has also closed.

  16. Re:Great, so how the hell do I paint ashalt shingl on Bill Clinton Says 'Paint Your Roofs White' · · Score: 1

    How much are you paying for labor on this?

    "production in Detroit"

    So it's a reality show?

  18. Re:Warning, not exactly objective research here on The Cost Of Broadband In Every Rural Home · · Score: 1

    I doubt those roads just go up to the home and stop. And I don't think many people build a home that isn't next to a road thinking "someday, someone will build a road right here." More likely, the road was already there and those cost are for maintaining a road that already existed.

  19. Magazines on How Do You Get Your Geek Nostalgia Fix? · · Score: 1

    I kept most of my magazines :-) You can also find some issues of old computer magazines available for reading on the internet here: http://www.atarimagazines.com/ (Not just Atari magazines, they have a few others too).

  20. New Gates? on It's Not a New Ballmer Microsoft Needs; It's a New Gates · · Score: 1

    You mean new gates at the entrance to keep people like Ballmer out?

  21. Re:Why are Libs so enamored with taxes? on Amazon Drops California Associates to Avoid Sales Tax · · Score: 1

    And if they didn't have loopholes, they'd just pass the cost along to us.

  22. Not a hard problem on Caltech Scientists Measure Dinosaur Body Temp · · Score: 1

    After all those years, I'd think they'd be room temperature by now.

  23. Re:Do people pay money for Android apps? on Android App Quality Pathetically Low Says Developer · · Score: 1

    "Guess where I'm concentrating my efforts for my next project...."

    Windows Phone 7?

  24. Simple solution on Mozilla Ships Firefox 5, Meets Rapid-Release Plan · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just call this version (5) something like 4.3?

  25. Re:And They'll Encourage Tethering on Verizon To Drop Unlimited Data Plans In Two Weeks · · Score: 1

    Actually there's an Android app that tells you how much you've used so far.
