  1. Re:whatever happened to gingerbread on the n1? on Google's Nexus S, A Look At Gingerbread · · Score: 1

    That's really weird.. what is this then?

  2. Re:Encrypt it.... on Confidential Data Not Safe On Solid State Disks · · Score: 1

    So do you always just believe what people tell you without checking facts?

  3. Per megabyte on The True Cost of Publishing On the Amazon Kindle · · Score: 1

    It says it's $0.15/MB, but is that per book sent, or for all their books? Because if a book is ~200KB, with one method it costs $0.15 to send 5 copies, and with the other it costs $0.75 to send five copies. This is an important distinction (that might be solved if I RTFA, but)

  4. Re:Positivism on Firefox 5 To Integrate Tab Web Apps · · Score: 1

    The way you described it reminds me of how Windows 7 lets you pin applications to your start bar. I like this. I don't know if it's really necessary over the bookmark toolbar, but if they're trying to move away from that like Chrome has, then it's certainly a neat idea.

  5. Re:Most likely a good thing on Google To Merge Honeycomb and Gingerbread · · Score: 1

    I just think that it's ironic that Chrome OS is less useful than Android.

  6. Re:What apps? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    At least they're all apps, and you don't have to carry around three or four actual dongles.

  7. Re:Great...what if you're without your phone? on Google Adds Two-Factor Authentication To Gmail · · Score: 1

    I think you mean "OMG how dare they add an optional feature I don't like!"

  8. Re:Minecraft on Post-Oracle Purchase, How Is Sun's Software Doing? · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately since the Source Engine is BSP based, all the blocks in the world would have to be entities instead of world elements themselves, and that's kind of limited (in most 3D engines, really) compared to Minecraft's expanse. At best it'd have to be modified all the way down in engine code to work the way it does now.

  9. Re:iPad firmware? on Verizon iPhone Is Now Jailbreakable · · Score: 2

    That was for unlocking the GSM modem (allowing carriers other than AT&T), not jailbreaking (allowing other software).

  10. Re:Microsoft and vaccines on Bill Gates Says Anti-Vaccine Effort Kills Children · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Hey, go with what you know. Getting to use it to save lives, all the better.

  11. Re:What does that even mean? on Universe 250+ Times Bigger Than What Is Observable · · Score: 1

    Inside the circle, then!

  12. Re:it's due to pass the Earth in 2029 on Asteroid Once Seen As Dangerous Offers Chance For Close Study · · Score: 1

    Are you asking if it's metric 2029 or imperial 2029?

  13. Re:Didn't he die at the end of 3? on The Matrix Re-Reloaded · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes, but the machines never gave his body back to the humans. This was somewhat explored in the short-lived MMO, I get the feeling if there are more movies they will build on this fact.

  14. Re:RIAA is still going? on RIAA Threatens ICANN Over Music-Themed gTLD Standards · · Score: 2

    They act as if nobody but the RIAA is allowed to write, perform, or record music.

    Woah woah woah WOAH woah. Hold on now, let's not say anything crazy.

  15. Re:Pc gaming = Too hard on PC Gaming Alliance's New President Talks DRM, System Requirements · · Score: 1

    recent games

    Pentium 4

    Well, there's your problem.

  16. Re:One day on Jeopardy-Playing Supercomputer Beats Humans · · Score: 1

    You missed GLADoS.

  17. Re:This is news? on In the Google Navy · · Score: 1

    Have you seen the front page of Slashdot lately?

  18. Re:So ... on 'SMS of Death' Could Crash Many Mobile Phones · · Score: 1

    That's what unlimited text messaging plans are for!

  19. Re:Dead birds? on Magnetic Pole Shift Affects Tampa Airport · · Score: 1

    Oh! You better let all the scientists know the reason the birds died, was, then.

  20. Re:What is the value in this? on IBM's Jeopardy Strategy · · Score: 1

    'For about as much as it cost us to build this supercomputer.'

  21. Re:Mrecury on Swedish Firm Proposes City Buildings On Rails · · Score: 1

    Strike back - with laser satellites.

  22. Re:minutes matter on Minecraft Reaches Beta Status, Price Goes Up · · Score: 1

    Oh, and don't forget the procedural lego kit design generator.

  23. Re:The cost of CA-signing each key on Database of Private SSL Keys Published · · Score: 1

    Except Netgear owns netgear.com, not netgear.net..

  24. Re:Nope. on Vint Cerf, US Congresswoman Oppose Net Regulation · · Score: 1

    That's weird. Since when is Amazon a public service, and doesn't have the right to pull the plug on Wikileaks, as well as the other things you mentioned?

  25. Filtering on Over 40% of New Mechanical Turk Jobs Involve Spam · · Score: 4, Funny

    So, would the filtering of bad services from MTurk be performed using MTurk?
