  1. Microsoft will Force the consumers to use it on What Windows Phone 8 Needs To Do To Succeed · · Score: 1

    If you think of all the businesses that use Microsoft on their desktop, and servers. They could easily force only Microsoft phones to sync with their products. Imagine Exchange only working with Windows Mobile 8, or file sharing with your desktop. Sure, you might try and get around it with other products, but Microsoft will make it difficult.

  2. Re:who leaks the content weeks before release? on The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War · · Score: 1

    No. These movies are released to retailers and other places weeks before they are allowed to sell them. All it takes is 1 employee to sneak the video online.

  3. Re:It's been said a thousands times before... on The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War · · Score: 1

    Not entirely true. How many paying customers do you think Diablo 3 or WoW would have if people could hack it for free?

  4. Re:The harder they try, the more they fail on The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War · · Score: 1

    No, your wrong. The idea of breaking up files into multiple paths had already been invented before torrents. Tools like Edonkey or LimeWire could send files in pieces, but these services were getting shut down. If you have a central site where files can reside, they will go after that site. Bit_Torrent eliminated the need to centralize anything. All this was primarily designed to share files, legally or illegally.

    You never used BBS's back in the day.

  6. Re:What's interesting to me on The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War · · Score: 1

    That's because media can't be controlled like everything else. For example: You can't travel to Europe for free, just to see if you're going to like it, but you might watch a new movie release without paying for it, simply because you can.

  7. The harder they try, the more they fail on The Futility of the Ongoing Piracy War · · Score: 1

    The problem is that, the more you try to lock things down, the more new ideas are invented that spur new innovations, leading to more hacking. Bit_Torrent was invented because all the Warez Websites were getting shutdown.

  8. Re:Sure, you can resign anytime you like, worker on Foxconn Says Vocational Students Aren't Being 'Forced' To Work · · Score: 3, Funny

    No one is forcing them to work. They have a choice, work or starve!

  9. Re:I like Androids concept on Why Are Operating System Version Names So Absurd? · · Score: 1

    Names are easier to remember than numbers. When you use your browser, do you type "216.34.181.45", or "slashdot.org"?

  10. I like Androids concept on Why Are Operating System Version Names So Absurd? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Pick a name in alphabetical order. That way you have an idea if you have the latest version.

  11. Re:OMG! on Samsung Expected To Sue Apple Over iPhone 5 LTE Networking · · Score: 1

    It's a game of Chess. You never reveal you plans to your enemy. Apple knew they needed LTE for the iPhone 5, that is part of the reason they took so long to release it. They had to play head games with Samsung so they could put them in a stalemate.

  12. Apple's plan all along on Samsung Expected To Sue Apple Over iPhone 5 LTE Networking · · Score: 1

    I believe it was Apple's plan all this time with suing Samsung, so they would make a deal in the end to allow the iPhone 5 to use LTE, and drop all existing lawsuits.

  13. You Know, I have one simple request.. on Nature Lover Vladimir Putin Flies With the Cranes · · Score: 1

    and that is to have cranes with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!

  14. Re:Cost too much on Toys R Us Unveils Android Tablet For Kids · · Score: 1

    Slapping a cheap rubber bumper is not what I call Child Proof, heck I can do that to any tablet.

  15. Cost too much on Toys R Us Unveils Android Tablet For Kids · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, why would anyone pay $150 for this cheap thing when you can get much better. I'd rather pay $150 for the kindle fire, or even the nook. Unless this tablet is childproof from breaking, its not going to sell.

  16. Not on any Government list - on Following FEMA's Zombie Preparedness Plan Could Land You On Terrorist List · · Score: 1

    There must be something suspecious about you.

    If you lived in China, you would still be standing 12 hours in a single shift, working in a shithole.

    With the way kids are growing up today, you'll fit right in with everyone else.

    It's the art of capturing votes. If you can get a scientist and preacher to vote for the same guy, you know you've done something right.

  23. Re:You have to make up for your short comings on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Disabilities In the Workplace? · · Score: 1

    'survival of the fittest' has kept this world in balance for millions of years. You recognize that everyone is special and should be treated all the same regardless of what they contribute, you end up with 8 Billion People with nothing to do, but feed of what others can give. Sounds like Dystopia to me.

    Hunger is a pretty good motivator in most countries.
