  1. Re:Poor people had to leave the USSR on Behind Google's Recent Decision About China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    3 room means 1 kitchen, 1 living room and 1 bedroom.

  2. Re:Hate google or not on Behind Google's Recent Decision About China · · Score: 5, Informative

    cajones = drawers, cojones = the word you wanted to use.

  3. Re:Who will fix the problem? on Australian ISPs To Disconnect Botnet "Zombies" · · Score: 1

    Sorry, I don't agree. The security model in unix is much better. You can still get crap, but typically as a user, and then you can just delete/recreate the account, and that's it. Unfortunately, doing that in windows means you have to deal with registy crap. Also since 99% of windows users also run their computer with administrative rights, then you have to reinstall the Os. I'm not saying that this cannot happen in Linux/MacOSX/OtherUnix, but since the users are just users, the damage is limited.

  4. Re:Opportunity Rocks on NASA Mars Rover Opportunity Grinds "Cool" Rock · · Score: 2, Funny

    metric or imperial days?

  5. African or Asian? on Jeremy Allison Calls Microsoft Dangerous Elephant · · Score: 3, Funny

    sorry, there are no European elephants....

  6. Re:Want this in my car! on Sound Generator Lethal From 10 Meters · · Score: 4, Funny

    There is a very nice solution to the slow drivers. Just carry a laser pointer, and carefully point inside his vehicle in a place (s)he can see. Then thanks to Hollywood, they run away as fast as they can.

  7. Re:Why Arnet We Just Using Fibre??? on Displayport V1.2 To Take Giant Leap Over HDMI · · Score: 1

    The only real advantage of the fiber is the power you need to cover long distances. since people tend to have the computer and the monitor within resonable distance (less than 5 meters), I don't see how fiber can be an advantage.

  8. Re:Never Fear!!!! on US Blocking Costa Rican Sugar Trade To Force IP Laws · · Score: 1

    Well, I think Costa Rica should say then that the country cannot export microprocessors to USA. Since they have a nice Intel factory there...

  9. Re:Perfect geek storm! on Lacking Buyers, NASA Cuts Prices On Shuttles and Old Engines · · Score: 1

    Yeah... like this? http://www.darwinawards.com/darwin/darwin1995-04.html Much better than the old JATO!

  10. Re:Audio/Videophiles Beware on THX Caught With Pants Down Over Lexicon Blu-ray Player · · Score: 5, Informative

    sorry, but the maximum speed of i2c is 3.4 mbps. you will need about 9m difference in length to have 10% of phase difference between your clock and your data, using the maximum speed (the usual one is 100-400 kbps). I agree that cat5(e) was not designed for i2c signals, but is more than enough for this application.

  12. Re:FRAUD ALERT -- Slashdot sucked in again? on Toyota Develops New Flower Species To Reduce Pollution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Plants cannot metabolize nitrogen directly. You need some nitrogenated molecules to allow them to absorb the nitrogen. This job is typically done by bacterias in the soil. Why do you think you put nitrogen fertilizers to plants, if the atmosphere is > 70% nitrogen?

  13. Re:Probably people abusing the system on Canonical Halts Ubuntu CD Free-for-all · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You can still pay for the cd...

  14. Re:That's alright. on Amazon Hobbles Features For International Kindle · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but the one charging you that is your provider in the US. Within Europe, the roaming charges have a lega limit (per mb, minute or sms). Even when I was using my chilean phone in Germany I ended up paying a reasonable amount (~US$200 for 3 weeks). I think you are pointing your darts at the wrong place...

  15. Re:Well they would say that wouldn't they on Microsoft Says Google Chrome Frame Makes IE Less Secure · · Score: 5, Funny

    I was expecting "Microsoft Says Google Chrome Frame Makes IE even Less Secure"

    You have to buy the old one, the new one doesn't run Linux (or any other 3rd party OS).

  18. Re:ME on Old Operating Systems Never Die · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, I have to deal with an embedded medical computer that runs WinME (It's designed to control a gamma probe). So, unfortunately, WinME is not completely dead.

  19. That's why I like open source on Microsoft Says No TCP/IP Patches For XP · · Score: 5, Interesting

    well, that's one of the positive aspects of the open source code. If the main developer doesn't want to fix something, then someone else can do it.

  21. Re:And then what? on Apple Pulls C64 Emulator From the App Store · · Score: 1

    Well, I rewired (partially) my car, and built my own stereo. And I do that because I like it. And no one forbid me to do that.

  22. Re:Reminds me... on What the DHS Knows About You · · Score: 1

    I (as most South americans) have already to pay us$45 to enter USA, in cash, every time I enter, plus us$130 for the visa, if you get one (I've never had troubles, but a friend was rejected twice). Please don't give me more reasons not to enter USA again.

    I think the most known song From Alejandro Fernandez, fits perfectly here. (It means "Wasn't me")

    Well, in the fish and hunting museum in München they have a real rifle measuring more than 5 meters. I tihnk is from the mid XIX, and it was used to hunt from ships.
    BTW, that one is not a cannon.
