  1. Re:Concern for high values? on Pirate Bay Co-Founder Peter Sunde Is a Free Man Again · · Score: 1

    Though I now eat eggs

    Just bear in mind that if you have any rooster around your hens, you are eating fertilized eggs and thus, killing helpless animals for food.

  2. Why five fingers? on Low-Cost 3D-Printed Prosthetic Hand To Be Tested On Amputees In Ecuador · · Score: 1

    It's not like they are going to play piano with these prosthetic hands.
    If I was going to use this, I would want one with three fingers, the size of the hand would look less disproportionate.

  3. Re:Wait, this wasn't common knowledge already? on Tim Cook: "I'm Proud To Be Gay" · · Score: 1

  4. The Doctor? on The Doctor Will Skype You Now · · Score: 1

    But... Doctor Who?

  5. Re:And that's ignoring the real flaw of the system on 40% Of People On Terror Watch List Have No Terrorist Ties · · Score: 1

    "You seem to know a lot about how terrorists work... let me put your name in this list here..."

  6. I'm astonished... on Why China Is Worried About Japan's Plutonium Stocks · · Score: 1

    No time travel jokes so far?

  7. Re:It true !!!! on Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake' · · Score: 1

    Anyway, I went to check if I could take and send a picture directly to the e-mail instead of attaching the file to the e-mail and it didn't give me this alternative. I've never tried this before because I don't really like taking pics with my cellphone or my tablet because I have a wonderful DSLR camera. This is, by the way, another thing I can do with my Android tablet: take pictures in my Nikon camera, put the memory card in the tablet and share/upload the pictures. How do you do that with an iOS device without a computer or an external SD card reader?

  8. Re:It true !!!! on Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake' · · Score: 1

    I can download a PDF file with exercises a professor e-mailed me and post it in the University's forum for the other students. I can download .doc files from the students forum and upload it to my Google Docs. I can install a torrent client in it. I can use my micro SD card with MP3 files in either my phone or in the tablet. (All real and recent cases)

    About porn, a friend of mine told me (wink, wink) that redtube.com renders better in the iPad than in Android devices. I'm taking his word in this (wink, wink).

  9. Re:It true !!!! on Apple Says Many Users 'Bought an Android Phone By Mistake' · · Score: 2

    I have an iPad for about 2 years already and Android phones for almost 4. Last week I bought an Android tablet because I got tired of iPad's software limitations. It is still a nice piece of hardware to watch Netflix and browse the internet, but that's it. With the Android tablet I can do much more than I could with the iPad. Not having to deal with iTunes is also a plus.

  10. Re:ANDROID != LINUX on Android Beats iOS As the Top Tablet OS · · Score: 1

    There is NO Posix userspace on Android.

    "Why don't you write it yourself?"
    (That's the answer I used to get in Linux forums when asking about a specific driver or piece of software I couldn't find.)

  11. Re: And in other news... on Quebec Language Police Target Store Owner's Facebook Page · · Score: 1

    A shit-ton of French students[...]

    A metric ton or an imperial ton?

  12. In my country the solution would be simple... on Ohio Attempting To Stop Tesla From Selling Cars, Again · · Score: 2

    The owners of Tesla Motors would also be the owners of ANOTHER company that controls the network of dealerships.
    Wouldn't that work in the USA?

  13. "X-Machine-Gun-Box!" on South Koreans Using Kinect To Monitor DMZ · · Score: 1

    "Turn off!"

  14. What about North Korea? on US Forces Coursera To Ban Students From Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria · · Score: 1

    Oh, right... I forgot Coursera offers ONLINE courses!

  15. I love Samsung's smartphones, but... on Samsung's First Tizen Smartphone Gets Leaked · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ...if they ditch Android, I'll ditch Samsung.

  16. Re:When?! on Celebrating Dungeons & Dragons' 40th Anniversary · · Score: 2

    No, I don't want fries with my order, thanks.

  17. Where are... on MIT Develops Inexpensive Transparent Display Using Nanoparticles · · Score: 1

    ... the "wake me up when it displays full colour" messages?

  18. Re:The Artists should be thrilled on Why the Major Labels Love (and Artists Hate) Music Streaming · · Score: 1

    So, the record industry is the solution for the problem created by their very existence?

  19. Re:The Artists should be thrilled on Why the Major Labels Love (and Artists Hate) Music Streaming · · Score: 1

    And why do the artists need the record industry in this new reality? Why don't they stream their own music and cut the middle man?
    (This is not a rhetorical rant, I really don't know why.)

  20. Re:Old on Russia Backs Sending Top Students Abroad With a Catch · · Score: 1

    Same in Brazil. My ex-wife earned 1 year of her PhD in Spain from the government, but she had later to work in Brazil for at least 1 year in return. The real news would be if no country did this.

  21. Translating the headline... on Ask Slashdot: Can Digital Music Replace Most Instrumental Musicians? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Ask Slashdot: Can mass production replace most atisanal handicrafters?"

  22. Re:What's the answer? on Red Light Camera Use Declined In 2013 For the First Time · · Score: 1

    If you go fast enough, the yellow light will be blue-shifted and look green!

  23. Re:Useless on Fully Autonomous Flapping-wing MAV Is As Light As 4 Sheets of A4 Paper · · Score: 1
