    Okay, serious now. Why this particular district is so popular for patent trolls? Easy to bought corrupt judges? Or too stupid judge to realize the malicious intent of the troll? Both?

    We can nuke East Texas?

    Hum, no. Is more like the original developers have retired and been replaced by incompetent script kiddies who made the last versions of Windows Live Messenger. The new kids knows nothing about serious work.

    Does not work in the long run "tighten the tap and then open slowly." The first and perhaps the second generation will understand the message, but the third and fourth will do the same irresponsible way as the first generation predecessors acted. You humans must be constantly guided and monitored to be able to live in a stable manner in a long period of time.

    Only if you do not intend to play graphically heavy games on your computer.

  7. Do not do that on Ask Slashdot: What Are Your Experiences With Online IDEs For Web Development? · · Score: 3, Informative

    Simply dont. If you are intending to do code professionally then you should be worrying about the security of your code against competitors / thieves /industrial espionage, and the worst way to do this is to put your code "in the cloud". And I will not touch the point of the performance of a "cloud IDE" because others have already shown examples to exhaustion. In short: Very, very bad idea.

  8. Re:Of course not on Is Blockchain the Most Important IT Invention of Our Age? (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It is because democracy to work perfectly depends on collaborative participants. But in practice the human being is concerned only with himself and at most with their immediate relatives. Hell, I still see around people arrogantly spreading that everyone should use the "survival of the fittest" or the "law of the jungle", which are completely incompatible with democracy.

    Only complementing what I wrote, I forgot to add that the object to be considered a planet should be large enough for its own gravity causes it to go into hydrostatic equilibrium (ie become round)

    For me, any object large enough to be round, which orbits a star and does not orbit another planet can be considered a planet. I do not understand why astronomers are so fond of complicating the idea.

    It's normal. I have ample evidence that most humans have serious problems in correctly interpreting ideas expressed in a given text. And add to this the fact that they also have difficulty thinking outside of extremes (binary thinking).

    "Americans are not taught real history. They are taught the sanitized, approved version. Likewise they don't really think for themselves. They usually select their opinion from a menu presented by the mass media."

    This is true in a disturbing number of countries.

    Correct. In Brazil, which is supposedly a democracy, simply speak a truism about some powerful and rich guy and the next week you will appear dead or arrested by the most ridiculous reasons. It's a good thing therefore be able to hide your identity when certain truths need to be said.

  14. Keep in mind that a "pure/super Capitalist" social model where the social model is "I am the only thing that matters and others be damned" (ultra individualism) is as harmful and dangerous as the "Communism" of Stalin. I know that you humans have difficulty of escaping from extreme (note my nickname, I'm not really human), but you guys should try harder to get a healthier middle ground.

  15. Re:This stuff is meant to be pretty fancy. on Samsung Begins Mass Production of World's Fastest DRAM (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    I also find it strange. In theory one Fury should be faster than a GTX980 but what happened was the opposite. I think the reason is the fact that the HBM chip behaves like a NAND flash chip: Slow on individual access but fast when you access multiple chips in parallel in a RAID0 like scheme

  16. Re:Strategic disengagement from oil & oil prod on Biofuels Will Power Navy's Next Deployment (sandiegouniontribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Brazil too. Here the newspapers (ferociously pro-US) are trying to use the low price of oil as a reason for the public oil company give up the pre-salt exploration and deliver (for pennies of course) the fields for American companies.

    Not on the long term. For some time we are experiencing an "economic war" under the hood and it is right now involving the oil price to harm countries that are not pro-EUA. Once they achieve their goal the oil price will go back immediately to the previous levels.

    Well, if you are using Gecko as a "desktop manager" of sorts with HTML and Javascript to draw the GUI so you are using a browser like a desktop OS. And the problem I see on that it is a really inefficient way to work (display a desktop, etc.) on devices with limited resources.
