  1. Re:!!! Fix the Patent System !!! on Microsoft Continues Android Legal Assault · · Score: 1

    If we did it would be a happier country.

    Not perfect, maybe - but happier.

    Why, will Ponn Farr be made mandatory?

    Does that mean he had previously dismissed it as a bad idea and then after someone else made progress he jumped aboard?

    No ... though it sure could offer new meaning to 'Blue Screen of Death'.

    Only if it's a hardware problem, yeesh.

  3. Re:Sears Tower on Chicago's Willis Tower To Become Vertical Solar Farm · · Score: 1

    So... do assholes sarcastically deride people's statements for the sake of personal inadequacies, or just for the sake of being assholes?

    Does it matter? We're noisy because others are noisy.

  4. Re:Sears Tower on Chicago's Willis Tower To Become Vertical Solar Farm · · Score: -1, Troll

    The building is now and forever will be called the Sears Tower. No locals call it the Willis Tower. No non-locals should either. It's a landmark and a piece of architectural history. Like the headline says, it is "Chicago's." In this sense, it will always belong to the public, and the ability of some random foreign insurance firm to finagle some temporary naming rights will never change that.

    So.. do Nerds pedantically correct people's statements for the sake of accuracy, or just for the sake of being different?

    If they are transparent, how can they capture the light and convert the photons to electrons?

    For the same reason your car windshield is transparent, but your Transitions glasses won't darken.

    And Americans vote for corrupt garbage.

    So, what, we solve this problem by voting for the dudes that say they're honest and working for the people?

  7. Re:$39 BILLION!? on Why the AT&T and T-Mobile Merger Is Bad For Consumers · · Score: 2

    Where was that $39 billion when it came to putting up and maintaining signal towers? Where was that $39 billion when it came to customer service? Where was that $39 billion when it came to the outlandishly expensive service?

    All this money, and what does AT&T do with it? It's like a slap in the face for their own customers.

    Though I agree, I can't help but think about this one detail: Wouldn't they suddenly have all of TMobile's already-installed hardware?

  8. Not quite the expected answer... on Ask Slashdot: Huge Digital Media Libraries · · Score: 1

    Back in the early 00's I had a problem with having a huge music library and trying to keep it synced across my work computer, home computer, and laptop. It was frustrating, I had a 'collection' but in 3 distinct piles. I'd end up with some songs on one machine and different ones on another, etc. At some point a music subscription service came along. I gave it a go and I'm still happy with it even today. Instead of having to copy 10's of gigs of MP3s over, I just install the app, log in, and play.

    I know music-on-demand isn't highly regarded around here, but seriously, I don't miss keeping track of all that music. I do, however, enjoy finding new stuff to listen to and being able to hear it in its entirety.

    I generally refer to them as BribeBM.

    That actually sounds more like a laxitive. "Try new BribeMB with prescrption-strength analphlox!"

    Correct. You can figure out why.

    Average doses in the world due to fallout: 0.11mSv

    Average doses in Japan due to fallout: 0.012mSv

    Isn't it ironic how the only country that was attacked with nuclear weapons actually has less fallout than the rest of the world?

    It might be if these two events happened a few decades more recently.

    As an aside, I don't understand anyways how one could "cure" homosexuality.

    That depends on which part of which country he lives in, which is something you should have asked him before jumping to this conclusion.

    What you going to do, shoot the water as it swirls round your feet

    If he lives in Southern Missouri, he'll never have water swirling around his feet. What he could have is a shortage of creature comforts like food being delivered to the grocery store. He'd be able to shoot animals for food.

    When people seem crazy, try asking them questions . Chances are you just don't understand.
