    The only problem with defaulting your loan is that you'll have a hard time finding people willing to lend you money in the future.

  2. Re:Put them out of business! on US ISP Adopts Three-Strikes Policy · · Score: 1

    Yes, just spam some legal threats and collect the settlements.

  3. Re:How about... on MPAA Asks If ACTA Can Be Used To Block Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    We're all seeing how well that's working with the government...

  5. Re:Still trying to keep Larrabee going? on Intel, NVIDIA Take Shots At CPU vs. GPU Performance · · Score: 1

    The software will need rewriting to take advantage of Larrabee anyways.

    Get some human decency!

    Do you expect human decency on Slashdot?

    Do you expect humans on Slashdot?

    I doubt he'll be running MS Update on Linux :P

  9. Re:Maybe I'm missing something on Exam Board Deletes C and PHP From CompSci A-Levels · · Score: 1

    Is this even valid C syntax? (1L(y))

  10. Re:Details on the Ubuntu Wiki on Ubuntu LTS Experiences X.org Memory Leak · · Score: 1

    It means that it's time to open up wikipedia and educate yourself.

  11. Re:Rules of Ad Blocking on Website Mass-Bans Users Who Mention AdBlock · · Score: 1

    No, that's the second rule of ad blocking. The first rule of ad blocking is you don't talk about ad blocking.

  12. Re:A lot of people on IBM Breaks Open Source Patent Pledge · · Score: 1

    The cure is waitpid?

  13. Re:yay facts! on New Litigation Targets 20,000 BitTorrent-Using Downloaders · · Score: 1

    What about if you upload it directly to them?

  14. Re:Microkernel? on Multicore Requires OS Rework, Windows Expert Says · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually most current monolithic kernels are multithreaded, so they can have one thread working on reading that CD, while another threads handles user input, etc. The only difference from microkernels is that it's all in a single address space.

  15. Re:Pascal on Good Language Choice For School Programming Test? · · Score: 1

    Actually VB.Net is quite different from VB6/VBA/VBS. It's basically C# with a VB-like syntax.

  16. Re:Interesting graph! on Where Microsoft's Profits Come From · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I believe that the two drops and spikes correspond to a new version of Windows being release. Prior to release, people will stop buying the old version, which would be seen as a drop in profits. After the release, a lot of people will upgrade, which accounts for the spike in profits. The second spike (2009) is bigger than the first (2006) because Windows Vista wasn't as successful as Windows 7.

  17. Re:No difference to them on Subversive Groups Must Now Register In South Carolina · · Score: 1

    All citations have been suppressed, silenced, destroyed and/or killed.

  18. Re:They're giving it 160%! on Game Devs Migrating Toward iPhone, Away From Wii · · Score: 1

    There are quite a lot of engines which are PC and Xbox only because they only have a DirectX renderer and don't have the time or experience to make one for the PS3 (Source engine). I don't know any exact numbers, but that could explain the results.

  19. Re:I rarely get to say this... on PS3 Hacked? · · Score: 1

    Probably because they lose money on each PS3 sold, hoping to catch up with game sales. So people who use their console for something other than games cause them to lose money.

  20. Re:Logistics on China Begins Monitoring Billions of Text Messages · · Score: 1

    Considering they already have a pretty sophisticated system for filtering the Internet, filtering text messages could be easily added on to that.

  21. Re:Oblig XKCD on Office Work Ethic In the IT Industry? · · Score: 1

    Of course we make up for that by building overly complex multi-language systems that somehow manage to make the build process actually take a long time through all the ancillary activities surrounding the actual chunks of compilation.

    Autotools?

  22. Re:Remove the Internet. on Google and Microsoft Sued By Mini Music Label · · Score: 1

    Well at least they'll be sure they they have working filesystems.
