  1. Re:LOL on Music Industry Sues Irish Government For Piracy · · Score: 1

    Germany will bail them out. So this is an easy way for the music industry to sue Germany.

  2. Re:LOL on Music Industry Sues Irish Government For Piracy · · Score: 1

    They will have to sue Bachus and the Muses.

  3. 640 Billion on Astronomers Estimate Milky Way May Have 100 Billion Alien Worlds · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, 640 billion should be enough for anybody...

  4. Re:Distinction without... on Almost 1 In 3 US Warplanes Is a Drone · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, it is the USA. So it would be an Imperial Shitload. Anyway, total BS.

  5. Propaganda on Almost 1 In 3 US Warplanes Is a Drone · · Score: 1

    The 500MB/s is just as accurate at the 1 in 3 figure. In other words, BS.

  6. Maintenance on London Installing Largest Free Wifi Network · · Score: 1

    For how long will it keep working before a lack of maintenance makes it go dark?

  7. Re:One more.... on Ubuntu TV Finally Gets a Close-Up · · Score: 1

    Everything in my house is over the same internet connection: 1080p TV, phone and internet. It works fine most of the time.

  8. Re:Manan Kakkar could be less of an idiot on Leaked Memo Says Apple Provides Backdoor To Governments · · Score: 1

    Exactly, there are enough court cases proving MS guilt on various shady deals with fines and settlements totalling about 2 Billion Dollars. No further proof is needed.

  9. What happened to phones that 'Just Work'? on Microsoft Scraps 'Where's My Phone Update?' Site · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What happened to phones that Just Work? I don't want to update my phone. It must be reliable, just like an analogue wire line phone used to be.

  10. Re:We've had an increase in gas prices... on Why Fuel Efficiency Advances Haven't Translated To Better Gas Mileage · · Score: 0

    Yup, that is why I just loooove my 5.7 litre V8 Dodge. Nothing has ever stopped me - rocks, sand snow, whatever. I got stuck in soft sand once because I was going too slowly and had to push and back up a bit then I accelerated and zoomed through it.

  11. Women are scared of mice... on Mouse Sperm Cells Grown In Vitro · · Score: 1

    Won't happen...

  12. 3D TV already flopped in Japan in 2010 on Makers Keep Flogging 3D TV, Viewers Keep Shrugging · · Score: 1

    3D TV already flopped in Japan the PREVIOUS Christmas, but producers are still trying to dump the remaining stock in the West.

  13. Re:Next step... on Windows 8 To Include Built-in Reset, Refresh · · Score: 1

    +1, pretty much what I was thinking too.

  14. Bar code scanner on Ask Slashdot: Tech For Small Library Automation? · · Score: 1

    You could type the ISBN into a label using a bar code font and use a simple inventory control program with a bar code scanner, or you could go the whole library software hog and work the problem to death.

  15. Re:OpenSSH on Securing Android For the Enterprise · · Score: 1

    "The very last thing anyone should be doing is bridging their networks to a mobile phone", which sadly is exactly what the corporate IT droids want to do, because any simple solution like OpenSSH must be bad...

  16. Blame it on facebook... on Facebook a Factor in a Third of UK Divorces · · Score: 1

    Seriously honey, it was just a one-time fling, Facebook means nothing to me...

  17. Re:Geek perspective: websites on Belarus Bans Use of Foreign Websites · · Score: 1

    We are already avoiding dealing with US companies, for various reasons. These new acts just add a few more impediments. In general, it is much easier and more cost effective to deal with Britain or Europe or any of the BRIC nations like Russia, China, Australia, South Africa and Brazil, than with the USA.

  18. Re:Geek perspective: websites on Belarus Bans Use of Foreign Websites · · Score: 2

    No, the USA is a democracy, but it is not a Republic, it is a Federation. Some of the US states are Republics, some are a Rechtstaat and some are Free States. These are all different political concepts.

  19. Re:P&T on handicapped parking on In New Zealand, a System To Watch for Disabled Parking Violators · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but 'a quarter inch' could mean that a wheel chair cannot get through the damn door. I have assisted friends and I can say that it would be very trying to negotiate a blocked parking slot, lifting a heavy disabled person in and out of a truck, up and down stairs and then having the chair stuck in a door too - I have had all those problems at one time or another, though fortunately not all at the same time.

  20. Re:one a year?? what about places where it's 30 da on Ask Slashdot: Changing Passwords For the New Year? · · Score: 1

    You got the year wrong. Password11 now becomes Password12.

  21. Re:Progress on NRC Approves New Nuclear Reactor Design · · Score: 4, Funny

    "who caused it on purpose?" It was an act of God. That is what Gods do. They make stuff and then they destroy it again, just like a small child playing in the mud.

  22. Re:Unintended Consequences on Domestic Surveillance Drones On the Rise · · Score: 1

    "And a very few of them realized that they could still profit by playing inside the law and dropped their other criminal activities." For example the Kennedy family, who went into politics...

  23. Re:Classes in the kernel? on Kindle Fire and Nook Upgrades Kill Root Access · · Score: 1

    Class is the ability to recognize quality, without consulting the price tag.

  24. Easy to do actually on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 1

    Funny that this is sloshdat and no-one talks about the technicalities of what the Iranians did. The main thing you need to hijack a UAV is a GPS test set, which only costs a few thousand bucks.

  25. Re:Speed Camera's on Picture Blocking Beer Cooler Keeps Your Face Out of Embarrassing Photos · · Score: 1

    All you need is a flash with 'slave' mode. Half decent flash units have a built in sensor that can be used to fire it, which is useful when you are doing a photo shoot with multiple flash units. So, you can mount one of those on the back of your car and give it a try at 250km/h down the E311, but don't complain to me if you end up with a million DH in fines...
