  3. Re:Why bother legislating it? on Digital Tech and the Re-Birth of Product Placement · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't much like the American definition of freedom.
    Freedom is for individual people. Not for corporations.

    And all the better for it.
    When adverting no-win-no-fee lawsuits was deregulated, the parasites surged forth from every hole, almost single handedly causing the "heath and safety gone mad" culture we currently suffer.

    Isn't the theory that by amassing giga-libraries-of-congress, of personal data you'll get relevant and personalized ads?
    Nope, turns out they are just as irrelevant as the least targeted ads, such as TV.

    So what is it?

    "absolute truth"? That's an odd way to spell "thought-terminating cliche".

  10. Re:Google+ on Popularity Trumps Privacy For Many On Facebook · · Score: 1

    Sorry, disagree with your last statement that social networks aren't the problem.

    Facebook has some fundamental flaws, which arise from conflicts of interest between their users and their business model. Facebook don't want you to use it "correctly" as defined by the power user.
    (Inb4 that trite meme about the users being the product.)

    Maybe google, with it's broader product range, and less reliance on any individual product, will be able to offer a far superior product, because they don't have to cannibalize and whoring Google+ for every last penny.
    Time will tell.

  11. Too old on Ask Slashdot: Am I Too Old To Learn New Programming Languages? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah sorry, at 40 your brain basically fossilizes, and becomes a FIFO stack.

    Original simcity?
    Yes, I always found the reduced maintenance cost of roads, outweighed the negative effects of traffic and pollution.
    Rail only allowed greater land values, and therefore tax income.

    Tear up all the roads. Replace with rail.

    Easy yes, but it puts you in constant violation of the terms. A griefer could then report you, so your solution isn't ideal.

    And nothing of value was lost.

    Additionally, using a facebook page over your own domain looks ghetto. Might as well be myspace, or geocities.

    In my opinion they have a free and openess of communication, which western style forums seem to stifle.

    Pseudonymity is such a core part of Internet culture. "Real names" are a very recent artifact of companies trying to monetize the web. It offers no value to users.
