  1. China clay?

  2. Fonts? on KDE Applications 15.08.0 Released · · Score: 1

    KDE needs better fonts to effectively utilise space...

  3. In my case, I no longer buy stuff from itunes / any other online stores - put it on the devices to listen, I listen to the radio, it keeps me upto date and no fuss... I have a good audio system at home for which is no longer used because of mp3s - the way we listen to music has changed - and it will change more in future...

  4. Programming language on Speaking a Second Language May Change How You See the World · · Score: 1

    Speaking language is the programming language of our brains, that is what complex logic and reasoning is built upon.

  5. Totally cool! on Canon Shows the Most Sensitive Camera Sensor In the World · · Score: 1

    Thats a great presentation video. If it can deliver what it shows in the video, its really good.

  6. Meh... on First Evidence That Some Insects May Rely On Photosynthesis · · Score: 1

    So, there will be a fight for becoming taller and broader, space on land will become so important that you have to almost root yourself there?

  7. not original on Gamera II Team Smashes Previous Best Human-Powered Helicopter Flight Time · · Score: 1

    Flintstones did it in the stone age

  8. Re:Stage acting - the real 3D on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    Next would be stage acting, which is almost life-like.. Or maybe holographic projected stage acting done by 3D models

    I should be patenting these ideas :-)

  9. Stage acting - the real 3D on The Hobbit's Higher Frame Rate To Cost Theater Operators · · Score: 1

    Next would be stage acting, which is almost life-like.. Or maybe holographic projected stage acting done by 3D models

  10. Its only symbols on Icons That Don't Make Sense Anymore · · Score: 1

    Its only symbolic representation of the thing its like a language people have developed from relevant objects and people have learnt and got used to. I wonder what he would comment about the hieroglyphics??

  11. Re:A transistor made of a single atom? on Physicists Create a Working Transistor From a Single Atom · · Score: 1

    Well, it'll certainly cut down the raw material cost eh?

  12. No upgrade on Synaptic Dropped From Ubuntu 11.10 · · Score: 1

    I am not upgrading Ubuntu from 10.04 anymore, I am a gentooer henceforth, its getting too bureaucratic.

  13. KDE doesn't look professional enough on KDE Software Compilation 4.6.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Gnome looks a bit more professional with the menu structures, icons and nautilus. With KDE it feels as though you have to do a lot more to get the same operations done. Couple of things I find annoying are the space utilization on the windows, they should try to maximize the window area and not shrink it with big icons and fonts, next... the file browser is not as good as nautilus.

  14. Good stuff on Slashdot Launches Re-Design · · Score: 1

    Personally I did not like the previous design much, it was bulkier and slower than its predecessor... The new design looks nimble and uncluttered. Good stuff indeed.

  15. Re:My Idea on Is the Web Heading Toward Redirect Hell? · · Score: 1

    Looks very close to a browser based DOS attack :-)

  16. Re:IE turns 15... on Internet Explorer Turns 15 · · Score: 1

    sheesh the story ended too soon, I was waiting for how Chrome OS would make an entry

  17. Encryption? on iPhone's PIN-Based Security Transparent To Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I thought these devices would have encrypted the files in filesystem that is why the PIN... Seems odd

  18. Re:Considered a solved problem? on Why Linux Is Not Attracting Young Developers · · Score: 1

    Spot on. I am aligned to this view point, OS pool seems to be full and they all do the same things, no innovation coming out from there means its a solved problem. Thus there will be less people attracted towards it trying to create a problem and then try to solve it. I also think the current study curriculum has hit a wall, until they have open ends there would be no new stuff in OSs.

  19. Re:iPhone geeky? on The Ultimate Geek Christmas Card · · Score: 1

    Getting iPhone is geeky? I think not, it means you are a gadget freak. Now if you compile the iPhone kernel on the iPhone and use it boasting that its much faster than your regular kernels, that definitely qualifies you as a geek.

  20. Difficult maintaing an OS on Chrome OS and Android "Will Likely Converge" In the Future · · Score: 1

    It is a real surprise they are going to merge chrome and android. /Sarcasm

  21. As the saying goes on How To Vet Clever Ideas Without Giving Them Away? · · Score: 1

    Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats. - Howard Aiken

  23. Re:This has existed for years on Hackers' Next Target — Your Brain? · · Score: 1

    So ... the psychotherapists get a new tag now ?

  24. Its okay on Behind the "My Location" Errors In Google Maps · · Score: 2, Funny

    Its still beta ;-)

  25. Re:I hold my phone to my right ear on Need a Favor? Talk To My Right Ear · · Score: 1

    Fine if you want to say your logical side is not left, but its mostly because your right side says so ... ;)
