  1. Re:Excellent Kiddie Porn Producer on EU Debates Installing a Black Box On Your Computer · · Score: 1

    Yeah, real question is who starts monitoring those suit-mans so that those suit-mans doesn't get too exited while crawling throught that material...

    What a great change for pedofiles to watch those photos and be not touchable by law and who else would like to spend ones days doing stuff like that...

  2. Re:Didn't do the math on Amazon, Not Developers, Will Set New App Store's Prices · · Score: 1

    No. In case seller try's to set certain % cut for developers. No matter what price they sell it forward. And making possible discounts go from developeres wallet not theirs.

    If you make cookies and sell one pack of cookies for 1€ to my shop, i will pay you 1€ per pack.
    After that i can charge from those cookies to consumers whatever i want.

    What would you like if afterwards tell you (your flour per cookies cost 0,8€/pack, just to demonstrate) that i decided to give discount from cookies and tell you that i decided to pay only 0,5€/pack to you.

    In many cases manufacturers try to "suggest" retail pricing by labelling price into products prior shipping.

    So truly it should go developers tells their price and vendors decide how mutch "profit" they want to add into price. And in many cases retail into retail pricing affect manufacturers willingness to set certain price+profit for their product and local competition usually keeps cost reasonable.

  3. Civilization on Have I Lost My Gaming Mojo? · · Score: 1

    Try civilization (IV is prob better than V and you can buy that by 10€), or some another turn-based strategy game. Other game witch addicted me is minecraft. I would encourage you to give a try for either one of them or both.

  4. Re:Wasn't there a desktop friendly scheduler rejec on The ~200 Line Linux Kernel Patch That Does Wonders · · Score: 1

    Well, if it is something trivial use it. I mean 16 core's isn't that uncommon anymore, especially in servers but also desktops are catchin up that limit quite fast.

  5. Magic Trackpad on Best Mobile Computing Options For People With RSI? · · Score: 1

    I have heard a lot of good about Apple's Magic Trackpad. It should have decent support for it in ubuntu maverick 10.10 too... (http://www.apple.com/magictrackpad/)

  7. Re:Choice on Texas Opens Inquiry Into Google Search Rankings · · Score: 1

    Maybe i need to clarify. I know google is best search engine out there but i hope that there would rise new competitor even equal to google. And by abusing power i meant, i don't know if google is giving results over others that suit's its financial or political goals. Either way google has way too mutch power in internet.

  8. Choice on Texas Opens Inquiry Into Google Search Rankings · · Score: 1

    Google might be abusing it's power but what we really do need is real choice.

    We have basically bing and google and every other search site have licenced their engines.

    I personally am not really happy about bing and there seems to be no true alternative for google. I welcome more competition into search engine market.

  11. Re:Maybe it's not for playing per se on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    Why would "traces" be in mac client then?

    I can't see any logic to keep same script and even maybe common client base if meaning for linux is only for delicated server usage.

  12. Re:What an understatement on More Evidence For Steam Games On Linux · · Score: 1

    You are forgetting that valve's graphics engine is being ported to mac. Do i need to say what opengl support would mean for posibility of linux client?

  13. Re:slow space travel on Don't Talk To Aliens, Warns Stephen Hawking · · Score: 1

    And forgot to mention that even if we would take hit from new kind of diseases they carry why wouldn't it go another way around also?

  14. Re:Why I Quit GIMP After 2 Minutes on GIMP Dropped From Ubuntu 10.04 · · Score: 1

    You might be right that it's how its expected to be, but it doesn't mean that its best way of doing things. If you do things some way because it's how you have done it and your dad, grandad and so on.... ...things will never develop.

  15. Gpl violation on Did Microsoft Borrow GPL Code For a Windows 7 Utility? · · Score: 1

    Microsoft has had open source code earlier also. But it's been licenced with bsd kind of licence. The problem is that if there are gpl-licenced code taken (doesn't need permission of project owners) microsoft has to give all changes they made to public. Gpl can also touch so depends what they've done with/to that they might also need to distribute more code of theirs. There is also organisation who's trying to track down and sue corporations violating OS licences (can't remember name), maybe they get some job to do.

  17. Size of site might affect also on Comparing Microsoft and Apple Websites' Usability · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I agree, but we need to remember that Microsoft's site is mutch larger than Apples. Small sites are always easier to keep in way that navigating between sites are easier and you always find site you are looking for.
