  1. Why paid apps? on How Paid Apps On Firefox OS Will Work · · Score: 1

    Home/consumer software has been post-scarcity for a long time, why reject free software and try to stuff the genie back into the bottle? You want paid software to attract developers so there will be apps right? But there are already apps! Just skip to the last step. And when you provide such a platform developers will have an incentive to fill any gaps by releasing their own solutions as seen on Maemo.

    First question answered in the FAQ, you'll be stunned at the technology they use to address this problem!

  5. Re:They don't NEED to. on NOAA Report: World Labor Capacity Dropping Because of Increased Temperatures · · Score: 1

    That was correct, but instead we've kept the work hours the same and concentrated the increased wealth produced.

    Hey buddy that's not just some yahoo's website. Anthony Watts is a professional shill for a right-wing think tank.

  7. Re:no on Cryptography 'Becoming Less Important,' Adi Shamir Says · · Score: 1

    The regression in computer security over the last few years is due to "cyberwarfare." Zero-days are being sold to militaries as "cyber-weapons" and being used in a very targeted manner, instead of being sold to common black hats and being used as widely as possible where security researchers can at least find them soon after the fact, or ideally being reported/disclosed.

  9. Re:I Don't Understand the Conclusion on Terminator Sparrows? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It certainly looks like a pair of conflicting statements...did they never consider that they'd triggered an "Uncanny Valley" reaction in the sparrows and they were being aggressive towards the cyborg-zombie sparrow?

  10. Re:*yawn* on Pirate Bay Shifts Connections From Sweden To Ease Heat on Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    They do have an official onion site but last time I checked it was down and had been for at least a week.

  11. Dan Brown on Buying Your Way Onto the NY Times Bestsellers List · · Score: 1

    This explains everything.

    Goatse right? You stepped into that one.

  13. Re:weird analogy on Ask Slashdot: Will Cars Eventually Need a Do-Not-Track Option? · · Score: 1

    This is more like a browser history file on a borrowed computer.

    ALPR and cell tower tracking are more analogous to web tracking services. And then there are the insurance company "black boxes" which are analogous to Sony's CD rootkit.

  14. Re:so what? on Homeland Security Stole Michael Arrington's Boat · · Score: 1

    No I'm complaining that the people who have no practical redress against bad behavior by the government are the ones who can't publicly call them out.

  15. Re:No-go on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    If we could find a way to convert bitterness and butthurt into fairy dust and rainbows, you could single-handedly save the planet!

  16. Re:weasel words on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    The big difference here is that in the new process the CO2 is conveniently separated which takes a lot of the difficulty out of sequestration.

  17. Re:Sounds like rubbish on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    You're right, the problem is that the part where the CO2 gets back into the ground happens on a timescale way too slow for human civilizations.

    Just journalists documenting how weird North Korea is. Some of the articles are pretty hilarious:

    Hahahaha classic. And the GP only mis-stroked a key a second time, you hit a key 2 keys from the target.

  21. Re:right on First Dedicated Asteroid-Tracking Satellite Will Be Canadian · · Score: 1

    Hey if can be argued that guns would be needed in a fight against a military with supersonic stealth fighters, cruise missiles and ICBMs, is it such a stretch to argue that they could be used for asteroid defense?

  22. Re:so what? on Homeland Security Stole Michael Arrington's Boat · · Score: 1

    I don't think that's what anyone means here. If this was some non-web-celebrity average Joe getting his laptop seized, it wouldn't be news, and he would be lucky to ever see that laptop again. Because it's a rich guy and his boat, it's news, even though he has the means to pummel the DHS over it in court and get his boat back.

  23. Re:They say that now... on Official: Playstation 4 Will Play Used Games · · Score: 3, Informative

    I'm sure it will play used games for certain definitions of "play." Don't hold your breath for online play with used games or any other features they feel the used market can do without.

    So would you like to rely on courts rather than the dictionary for our definitions?

  25. Re:cowboys and indians? on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 1

    Agreed.

    A shotgun is a safer weapon - but still a weapon. I just can't stand the "guns are just tools and why don't we go after cars?" BS.
