Well the rest of the world is extremely net positive overall. A quarter million new people or so a day.
This just means that European culture will die out as it's being replaced by immigrants from the middle east and Africa. (Who tend to have a net positive rate so Europe will expand more later on, just not White Europe)
Annoyance #2, actually dealbreaker, is how they've made the OS almost broken if you don't use a Microsoft account login. This means that your computer's login is the same password as your email address, and is out of your control. Microsoft or anyone pressuring them can get into your (their) computer since they control the password. It is way to easy for SOHO users looking for time-wasters in the Microsoft store to convert the local account into their own user login and lock out everybody including admin. The email address of the logon is proudly displayed on the logon screen to unauthenticated users, with no way to turn this off.
Stop spouting non-sense. This is totally false. I've been running Windows 10 since November on my work laptop and since January on my home desktop. You only need to use a Microsoft account to get access to the App Store. This access is easier if you use the Microsoft account as your Windows User account so you don't have to log in every time you use the App Store, but Windows 10 will happily let you use regular old Windows User accounts.
"Ur" is a fairly common way to represent an origin or prototypical item of a set, as in a "ur-language" would be the mother tongue from which other languages spring. It seem to be being used in this context to mean more "all-encompassing", or a back to roots type thing, but the meaning still applies.
Seriously. I don't normally complain about the crap that gets posted from the same sources over and over that's just trash, but these Bennett posts are awful garbage. This is not your personal blog! No one cares what you think!
And this idea is stupid as well. It looks like he thought "Hey, lots of sites have moderation systems, why not twitter" and then realized that it, like all moderation systems, would have some problems. How does that rate a whole discussion?
Is there a chrome extension that blocks slashdot stories with "Bennett Haselton" yet?
What I'm more concerned about is that first image in the article. Did they photoshop a plunger on it to make it look more like a Dalek? What kind of reporting is this?
So? The copy doesn't mean that downloader would have ever given any money to the artist if that was the only way to obtain the file, they might (probably) would have just gotten something else for free instead (or be willing to pay a lower, but not offered in the marketplace, rate). That's why we have all these new methods of paying artists like donations (pay what you want), kickstarter (like for the latest Zach Braff movie), indiegogo, etc. (as well as the traditional methods like t-shirts and swag and concerts, seeing the movie in the theater for the theater experience)
These are inherently ephemeral goods; there is no real world resource loss. Whether they get paid once or a billion times, the amount of work has not changed. Even if they never get paid, like plenty of artists who work their whole lives at their craft and never even make rent money.
If you can't make money doing what you are doing, then do something else.
they didn't just do that. they basically saved NPR back in the day and allowed it thrive and grow as their most popular program ever. That's why they're still playing old shows two years later.
Well, you are still taking the copy without paying for it. That copy still carries a value even when the plain act of copying does not involve any manufacturing costs. I can't believe how tough concept this often is for slashdotters.
I can't believe you still don't get it. Taking that copy causes NO loss of resources to the artist, the resources being used are by the sharer and the downloader. The artist didn't lose anything.
That the artist didn't get paid for that copy is irrelevant. That's just a failure in their business model. I can't charge you for every time you download and read this comment, even if I wanted to.
The thing you keep missing is that the artist (or record company, or estate or whatever) DOES NOT deserve to get paid for every single copy of their song, forever and ever. If you aren't making enough money doing what you are doing, then do something else.

So earth has like 4.7 billion people on it
Dear lord are you behind. There are over 7.3 billion people on earth.
Hell, we hit 5 billion in 1987.
Yeah, it's super easy:
function int RollD6() {
return 4;
}
Did you even read the title of the article?
It's a lossless format, so the resulting image is the same pixel for pixel with the original.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
The trips are only shared if the user explicitly does it, and your crazy rant has nothing to do with this.
Holy crap. I had no idea that people would so far with this crap as to try to claim Samus Aran was transgender. That's just crazy.
There was this movie that among other things was about unintended consequences that can happen if you have conflicting policies / instructions.
And my job has a policy against going to imdb.com from work
So what's the name of the movie then please?

I guess it would be stupid to say "Did you even read the article?" on slashdot.
"Total Annihilation" are literally the first two words in the article.
Do not summon him!
The Windows 8 start menu screen is still available if you want it. It's a check box under properties so you can have it either way.
Are you being stupid on purpose or what?

Why am I responding to an AC troll....
It's already on the InterWebs and just a matter of time before it's everywhere.
Except that it's not on the torrents yet:

http://news.softpedia.com/news/The-Interview-Torrent-Downloads-Exist-but-They-re-Not-What-You-d-Expect-467819.shtml
The only people we know for sure who have the movie are Sony (who aren't releasing it) and the hackers (who definitely aren't releasing it)

VS2013 Pro is also available for free to students (as is SQL server and a bunch of other MS tools).
You just need a ".edu" email address and sign up at DreamSpark
That's not what the OP wanted. Specifically, which stream has teh boobies. ;-)
That would be a totally different site, myfreecams.com
:)
Duhh. Neither does the artist make any money.

Actually the page says:
"emulated in JSMAME, part of the JSMESS software package."
These guys made NPR fun to listen to.
they didn't just do that. they basically saved NPR back in the day and allowed it thrive and grow as their most popular program ever. That's why they're still playing old shows two years later.

Sporadic 1 day delays due to Eyjafjallajökull
Ha! Iceland... I had to google that name just to make sure your cat didn't walk on the keyboard...
Well other than the lack of outline mode. Which , annoyingly apple's Pages dropped recently too.
And which I have *no idea* how to find on the new fangled ribbon interface thing in modern Office either :(
You go to the "View" tab (the last one) and it's button number four.
:)
Just FYI
I use outline mode all the time. (And I also like the Ribbon, which makes me a heretic around here.)
Well then can we get the code for the server-side so we can run our own private servers to play the games we bought?
This is all well and good until you have http://legit.example.com/viewurl.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fmalicious.example.com
And how does that php page get on the legit website? And if it's a redirect, then the final page will show the malicious URL.
