  1. Re:Move it around first .... simple! on Germany Says Taking Photos Of Food Infringes The Chef's Copyright · · Score: 2

    Arrangement of say 5 elements on a given surface is finite (unless you want to go into args like "these fries 3mm apart instead of 1 and facing 2 o'clock instead of 3"). Lets assume that number was 5, then only 5 people in the whole world would be entitled to the copyright on a first-come basis. What about the billion other Jackson Pollocks who stumble on 1 of the 5 arrangements by accident? This is an insane ruling and should be appealed.

  2. Besides Advertising Your Patreon On Here... on Interviews: Ask Brianna Wu a Question · · Score: 1, Troll

    Don't you think it is disingenuous for anyone to:
    (1) Troll GamerGaters at the very beginning, when they were fighting for ethics in Games' Journalism.
    (2) Get b***h slapped by a torrent of angry gamers.
    (3) Cry on the roof-tops that you're being harassed by "men."
    (4) That "men" are scaring "women" from the industry (when you are a trans-woman btw).
    (5) Claim to have received death-threats and was too afraid to live in your own home but still gave copious number of interviews from it.
    (6) Eventually got around to port your 1 game and it looks like a horrible game from 1996
    (7) Create a storm whereever you go on Social Media (beacause maybe you are deranged?) and blame "men" for your shortcomings.
    (8) Spoil my Slashdot by showing your creepy face on HERE and ask for money!

    Any thoughts?

  3. AmiMoJo, the SJW Troll on Twitter CEO: "We Suck" At Dealing With Trolls, Vows To Kick Them Out · · Score: 2

    The memo doesn't mention Gamergate so I had to check who did.

    Turns out the source of this summary is The Verge and it is one of the corrupt medias Gamergate is fighting. TheVerge regularly post anti-gamergate articles. So it's only fair they carried on by linking the leaked memo to GamerGate. It is in the interest of the corrupt media to silence their critics. How else will they sell their bullshit lies if there are loud critics on Twitter and Youtube?

    P.s. You do not have to be in Gamergate to hate TheVerge, they are the people who brought you and fuelled #ShirtStorm.

    developer? Please go to her shitty website and show me where she held a developer or programmer position?

    doxing victim? She re-tweeted a dox and it was a made-up address but never told her followers. She is known to send herself threats & ddos and will then blame others (TFYC, Wizardchan and now GamerGate). This is what we call a professional victim.

    Are you Zoe Quinn or her friend ShitLipz? You pathetic person.

    I totally understand. I do not understand these pathetic people (men and women) who create sockpuppet accounts to prop their own comments up. I have a life and a job to take care of, maybe they don't and that's why they feel the need to make themselves matter in this way. It's very sad. Too bad /. has no means to fight back so I rarely post here. Replying to you a 2nd time is the most I've done in half a year. Goodluck!

    Thank god many Youtubers have done hands-on reviews of this NX1 and found it very lacking or subpar.

    I will need SLR Lounge to make full disclosure on who their partners are because we live in an era where we cannot even trust Tech/Games reviewers as being honest! Also Samsung was known to fake 3D benchmark reviews so their copycat phones would sell. That's kinda low.

    It's fun to see negative moderation when your post is nothing of the sort. To me it's clear that /. is a boys club... probably worse now thanks to the Sarkeesian & phony cohort effect.

    Problem here. If you let them hit record, then they will say they forgot to or they will only record what suits them.

    So the choice is really "Record All" or "Record Nothing." Because "Record Something" is just biased and possibly unusable in court. I may be wrong.

    If LAPD or US cops have nothing to hide then why not have their privacy invaded by perpetual recording cameras (while they are on duty)? I mean... unless they have something to hide or doing things they shouldn't like violating the law?

    When you read that Stuxnet was an NSA/Israel creation and every month you get drip fed news about NSA's true illegal/terrorist side (like finding ways to hack popular email servers or backend links of cloud storage) and just now, cracking VPN services, you have to ask yourself this: "Who has opened Pandora's box?

    What can you do against vendors who do that? At the very best it's a hassle to fix the problem caused resulting in wasted man-hours (bearing in mind that most of us are not tech-savvy). At the very worst, this can result in permanent damage for example iOS 8 bricking your iPhone. What do you do then? What are your consumer rights when a botch (insufficiently tested) OS update results in a damaged device? Who is to blame here?

  16. Re:I've questioned that myself on Ballmer Says Amazon Isn't a "Real Business" · · Score: 1

    I agree, it's a long game. If Wall Street investors told Amazon "grow as big as you can be, reach for the skies," then clearly they are in it for the longterm. Someone on this thread also mentioned that Amazon is re-investing its profit in growth, which is why its graph of sales maybe growing exponentially up but profit line is zero or flat. This is why I'm claiming that it's not a normal company. How can it afford to do what it's doing? And for that long (since 1997?)? Even if you find investors in Europe to do the same, you will have 2 problems: scepticism and not-so-deep pockets. The culture of risk taking is far greater in the US. I'm not sure why trade ministers over Europe are not talking more about the disaster (e.g. death of local book stores) that's being created by hurricane Amazon.

  17. Re:I've questioned that myself on Ballmer Says Amazon Isn't a "Real Business" · · Score: 1

    From the documentary I mentioned, a lady said she buys books at £8 while Amazon sells the same at £5.50 (with free shipping!). Afterwards the Amazon rep agreed that sometimes they sell books at a loss. France saw this danger and their Minister of commerce talked about tackling this threat on the documentary (i believe Free Shipping was mentioned too). Let me reiterate my question, how can one compete against a "company" like Amazon (IPO 1997)? Every country it goes to, it kills off local rivals because they don't have the same generous investors and banking credit-lines as Amazon. This is just not normal.

  18. I've questioned that myself on Ballmer Says Amazon Isn't a "Real Business" · · Score: 3, Interesting

    To me Amazon is not a normal company at all because the philosophy of its investors is "Do whatever you have to do, don't worry about profits/losses, we'll be right behind you." How can one compete against a company like that? It's as if a bank (hell, maybe Treasury!) opened an infinite credit line just for Amazon! No wonder our high-street shops (and online shops) are falling like flies!

    From a BBC documentary on Amazon (Business Boomers) someone said "Amazon was designed to be a shark right from the start." It's true in a way. Since spending money is no issue, it can do whatever it wants with its prices while growing its business areas. However its brick & mortar (or online) rivals cannot. They don't have an infinite credit line with their banks or investors, and depend on their profit margins. I'm wondering why European governments have not cracked down on this unfair "business" that is Amazon?

Even criticising a fast food outlet with "Your food sucks!" or a religion. Free-speech advocates and freedom fighters will now be victims of this anti-troll law. I sure hope people falsely accused will sue the government for all inconvenience caused.
