  1. Re: Take note, Assange haters on Lauri Love Ruling 'Sets Precedent' For Trying Hacking Suspects in UK (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey, if you operate what is essentially a hotel but for business reasons you choose to target only people whose room and board is guaranteed by the state, a large portion of whom are violent nut-jobs, that doesn't absolve you of responsibility to keep them all safe - from each other, from the guards, from themselves.

  2. Re:Why would he be extradited in the first place? on Lauri Love Ruling 'Sets Precedent' For Trying Hacking Suspects in UK (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The US Court system is the fairest one one the world. Defendants have rights that are given in no other country in the world.

    We also punish you if you are guilty. The fact that this faggot might commit suicide is proof that prison is a deterrent to crime.

    Perhaps a small indication why the US isn't the favourite destination of everyone, particularly if they think you've done something to them.

  5. Re: Fuck them on Five Major Credit Cards Are Now Blocking Cryptocurrency Purchases (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The lender separates themselves from the challenge of figuring out how to generate cash from the amount they lend. They *don't care* how *you* do it, just that once issued, you owe them.

  6. It's not needless murder if some police goon gets to power trip over sanctioned blatant murder which everyone knows will go unpunished.

  7. Re:Whats the purpose of Credit Cards Again plz on Five Major Credit Cards Are Now Blocking Cryptocurrency Purchases (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    It's to allow one group to screw another group. To make money from nothing.

  8. This is exactly the kind of thinking which has left an uncloseable niche into which cryptocurrencies neatly fit.

    It's the way of the world - try to defend an untenable position and be denied (eventually.)

  9. J.P. Morgan Chase, Bank of America and Citigroup said Friday they are no longer allowing customers to buy cryptocurrencies using credit cards. "At this time, we are not actively investing in our own demise.

    Let me paraphrase,... I would not put myself in such a position.

    How else do you propose that the population problem is addressed. If I were in charge of this, Is be quite concerned and maybe open to anything which only foil-headwear-officionados would notice results in death.

    It's almost as if news is released as advertising. The health professionals want to drive people to medical care; the vintners want to drive people to wine.

  14. How does this patent intersect with rule 34?

  15. Re:Isn't the question why they die at 30? on Naked Mole Rats Defy Mortality Mathematics (discovermagazine.com) · · Score: 1

    I recall hearing that back in the 80s. How do they test that? Run mice to death on a wheel to see how many heartbeats they have in them?

    Maybe the mice choose to die to avoid the monotony?

  16. Buffenstein says naked mole rats violate to the Gompertz-Makeham law

    Maybe 'law' is too strong, or... PARADOX ALERT!!!!!

    No, that would be waaaay more interesting than this story.

    In my experience it's not slightly out of date, it's twelve months out of date!

  21. Re:Defense: it was drunk on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    But what the hell is the point of having an automatic driving system if you have to sit there waiting for that split second between when you realize the autopilot isn't working and when the accident occurs?

    The point is that human drivers are being used to train (or at least act as a safety backup system for) autonomous systems until they're ready.

  22. Autopilot has done well but there's always room for improvement. Next time, it should aim to include an ambulance in the mix - the human occupants matter too!

  23. Re:Competition? on Ask Slashdot: What Is Your View On Forced Subscription-Only Software? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's a good time for a competitor to enter the space and better address the customer's needs

    One can only applaud Adobe, as once they've come to the same conclusion, they wasted no time in opening a door to competitors. Most altruistic!

  24. I've been a long time advocate and paid user of JetBrains' ReSharper until they forced the subscription model on users.

    I'm feeling the pain of not having it available but as they don't offer payment terms I'm comfortable with, I am left with no choice.

    They really rub salt in the wound by rolling back the twelve months of updates you pay for in advance when you discontinue your subscription.

    I've found that uninstalling it worked best for me so that I'm not reminded of their distasteful choice each time I fire up Visual Studio.

    If they'd have made it clear at the outset that after a few years of purchasing new versions, they'd attempt to use my investment of time as a lever to generate a steady revenue stream from me, I would not have given their product a second look.

    Sure, it's a great product but if it's no longer feasible to make feature improvements which will persuade users to upgrade, taking the product back from paid-up users isn't the right thing to do.

  25. It's illegal to be in possession of rubber bullets but it's ok to have real bullets?

    I apologize in advance if California doesn't subscribe the the 'chocolate bar, assault rifle, Twinkie' item-layout near checkouts in stores - I'm outside the US.
