  1. Re:I assume it's a typo... on Federal Smartphone Kill-Switch Legislation Proposed · · Score: 1

    but that doesn't excuse the /. editors for not engaging their brains.

    Wouldn't they need to meet the prerequisite of having a functioning one, first?

  2. Re:Bing? on This Isn't the First Time Microsoft's Been Accused of Bing Censorship · · Score: 1, Informative

    That's funny.

    First link searching "Sybase ASE Manual" on Bing: http://manuals.sybase.com/onli...

    Searching for "IBM DB/2 LUW manual" yielded:

    https://www-304.ibm.com/suppor...
    https://www-304.ibm.com/suppor...
    http://www.ibm.com/support/doc...

    As the first three results.

    Unless you're using a different Bing it seems what you claim is mostly bull.

  3. Re:Hubris and Pride on Government Secrecy Spurs $4 Million Lawsuit Over Simple 'No Fly' List Error · · Score: 1

    You do realize such lawsuits will only happen if the government lets it, right? You haven't missed the last 30 years of case law regarding this, have you?

    Care to explain the Alien and Sedition acts passed in 1798, then?

  5. Re:Android is already there on Microsoft Rumored To Integrate Android Apps · · Score: 2

    Microsoft doesn't own Nokia's handset business yet. So, no, it's not their phone.

  6. Re:Last link is misleading. on The Death Cap Mushroom Is Spreading Across the US · · Score: 1

    Exactly. It was only one patient and they died.

  7. Re:Maybe yes, maybe no? on Ask Slashdot: Should Developers Fix Bugs They Cause On Their Own Time? · · Score: 2

    If you get paid hourly then perhaps. If it is irrefutable that its your fault/bug then you should feel obligated to fix for no extra charge/hours to them. If there is any doubt on the source of the bug (multiple developers) then you should be paid to fix it.

    With very few exceptions, having your employees work for no pay is illegal in the US. And, no, fixing a bug that you created is not one of those exceptions.

  8. Re:Loss of revenue on German Court Forbids Resale of Valve Games · · Score: 1

    Read the terms of the sale. It is quite explicit that you only licensed it.

  9. Re:Bad ruling on German Court Forbids Resale of Valve Games · · Score: 2

    It refutes your point that "the EULA is shown *before* (emphasis mine) the purchase" as it changes afterwards...

    In what way exactly? Steam always shows you the new EULA to accept if it's been modified.

  10. Re:Um, WTF? on HTML5 App For Panasonic TVs Rejected - JQuery Is a "Hack" · · Score: 1

    Hey, Panasonic, what would you say about the /. Beta? Hmm??

    "It looks like shit".

  11. Re:What the frak? on With HTTPS Everywhere, Is Firefox Now the Most Secure Mobile Browser? · · Score: 1

    There is a duplicate post filter. It's just extremely easy to bypass.

  12. Re:Free software on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    Sure, freetards believe that, but their opinions hardly matter.

  13. Re:infringement on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    They're telling people "Would you like to give Linus some money? We'll do it in your behalf (while taking a % of it for ourselves)".

    No they aren't. Their website says no such thing.

  14. Re:infringement on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    Where is the service using his name? It doesn't appear on their main page or any page I've looked at on their site. The article mentions his name, but so what? You don't need permission to mention a name in an article.

  15. Re:Free software on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    How would it be in conflict, exactly?

  16. Re:infringement on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    Saying his name in a story is not copyright infringement. Nor is this scam service using his likeness or claiming he is a user. One can hope your simply trollbaiting and not a moron.

  17. Re:spam on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    Ignoring it is not the same as being able to block it, though.

  18. Re:alternative explanation on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 1

    Or an even simpler explanation: this is a no-name startup that next to no one has ever heard of or cares about.

  19. Re:Value on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 2

    Nope they haven't even amassed 4 bitcoins in donation.

    Tip4Commit supported 337 GitHub projects, for which 9,076 tips have been earned (a tip is earned when a pull request for a commit on a supported project is accepted), totaling about 3.34 (worth about $2,650 at today's Bitcoin exchange rate of $793.20).

    This is just an advertisement for some no-name trying to ride Linus' coattails for publicity.

  20. Re:Value on Would Linus Torvalds Please Collect His Bitcoin Tips? · · Score: 2

    Not collecting sends a message to anyone who is considering to tip you that you're not interested.

    And if they really aren't interested, so what? Why should anyone be obligated to care about this stupid startup? If they can't get people interested then the whole thing should simply be allowed to fail.

  21. Re:Great news! on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 2

    Then maybe the US Government shouldn't have been doing things that would piss the world off if found out?

  22. Re:Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen on Developer Loses Single-Letter Twitter Handle Through Extortion · · Score: 1

    Last 4 are not a secret. Best buy and lots of box retailers now actually ask you for it when you check out. You have to broadcast it in the air in front of everyone in line.

    Because your unable to just hand them the card to read?

  23. Re:Another moron submitter on Google Charging OEMs Licensing Fees For Play Store · · Score: 3, Insightful

    For nothing? So they make no revenue from the apps they sell or the ads?

  24. Re:Google already has a noose on manufacturers on Google Charging OEMs Licensing Fees For Play Store · · Score: 2

    What they are closing off has nothing to do with the ability of OEMs and others to make custom home screens and launchers nor are they going to block that.

  25. Re:CAPTCHAS on Snapchat Account Registration CAPTCHA Defeated · · Score: 1

    Sure that would likely thwart it. The point is that it's currently crappily implemented.
