  1. Good luck with that! on Language Creation Society Says Klingon Language Isn't Covered By Copyright · · Score: 1

    Just remove the word "Klingon" and you're good to go

  2. Philosophizing on what is a "right" is a waste of time. I'm only saying that people create their own working conditions. Organization is just one of those ways. Both sides are asserting power, which is always in balance.

  3. Not at all. You enjoy many of the benefits of organized job action. And there are many more.

  4. And they can "create" the right through organized action to make their present job better. It has been to known to work before, and we all enjoy the benefits.

  5. If we organize we can assert more than that.

  6. It's money laundering. "Undocumented" income suddenly finds itself on paper, squeaky clean. And no doubt it can be written off.

  7. It doesn't matter if it's a "right". Sufficient demand is good enough. It's one of those things where organization might be needed. Unfortunately there wasn't enough in Yahoos case to reverse her decision. In short people can exercise their right to set their working conditions.

  8. Adding complex electronics that are potentially vulnerable to deliberate subversion from a distance is a non-starter.

    Really, you grab the remote and the gun goes off.

  9. Only two benchmarks are important on Slashdot Asks: What's Your View On Benchmark Apps? · · Score: 1

    Boot up time and Photoshop filters. Use a bittorrent client to measure internet speeds. "Speed test" web sites are dogged down by traffic.

    And this is one more reason the law deserves no respect. It is torture and it merits all the resistance a person can muster. Happily for the sadists, there is hardly any. The appeal to authority just overwhelms all humane reason.

  11. Re:That's a funny new definition of "entitlement" on After Netflix Crackdown On Border-Hopping, Canadians Ready To Return To Piracy (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Then we go back to plain old bittorrent. I really don't care about Netflix. And I sure don't sympathize with people who are trying to create indefinite copyright. It doesn't matter what they think. If I want to watch Arrow in the Himalayas, I will.

    Hollywood needs distribution if it wants an audience. They need Netfilx more than the alternative. They'll come down off their high horse when they do the math of some distribution vs. no-distribution. The internet shifts the balance of power a tiny bit more our way, and really doesn't leave much room for argument.

    Good luck putting a tariff on the internet. It has the power to destroy national borders and rent seekers. Now they can't stop me from taking my purchases wherever I want. This is a good thing.

    Is that possible?

    But you still have to sift through them to find the good shit, or pay someone else to. The publishing industry probably won't go away. Certainly the critics won't.

    And the less you have to do, the more you can choose to do.

    Watch out. There's going to be a lot of bad play writing out there. You are going to miss the gatekeepers

  17. Why a single camera? on Nvidia GPU-Powered Autonomous Car Teaches Itself To See And Steer (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Ever driven with one eye shut? The drunks needn't answer that one. But with two or more cameras and various other sensors, it seems that the "learning" process would go much smoother.

  18. Re:Only one way on Manufacturing Jobs On Decline Around the World (ampproject.org) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking a bit more basic than that, but my wording didn't seem to appeal to the moderators. Apparently they weren't as clear and simple as intended. Price reductions need to match cost reductions. By "cost", I mean human effort.

  19. I suppose, since the pardon, should it be necessary to use, has already been drawn up. An indictment won't last all of five seconds.

    You have to start giving stuff away.

  22. Re:Second Life still exists? on Bernie Sanders' Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    It's a democrat attempt to keep their rhetoric on the front page. Their campaign is dead without Sanders. There's nothing interesting about Hillary worth talking about. She just needs to say, "I'm not Trump" for the next six months.

  23. "Bernie supporters" may as well disperse, unless a few hundred of them want to run for congress to rout out the incumbents.

  24. Re:....wait....SecondLife is still a thing? on Bernie Sanders' Second Life Headquarters Besieged by Trump-Supporting Swastikas (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Both they and Sanders are begging for attention. It's almost sad to watch. The democrats are desperately trying to keep people interested. But what's left to say about Clinton that we don't already know? They should switch their focus to congress, so even if Trump wins he won't get past them.
