  1. Re:doesn't help people take games seriously either on Sexism Still a Problem At E3 · · Score: 1

    You mean like car shows? Actually, like almost any show that features advertisement aimed at male audiences? Or do we need to get scientific studies that clearly show that even old men prefer young scantily clad women?

    Well jee, those SEXIST advertisers trying to target the tastes of their audience. This is 100% sexism and 0% marketing.

    No worries. They'll just put so much make up on that he'll look like he's in his twenties. Sorta.

    Remember this is hollywood. Everything is fake.

    That does indeed make sense considering how magnet links work. Thanks for the clarification!

    You can only "download" web pages and magnet links from piratebay now. Not even torrent files are available, other then linked from torcache.net.

    Not to be a dick, but that is about the smallest problem gimp has. Numerous completely missing features are a far, FAR greater problem. Photoshop is about 5-7 years ahead of gimp in terms of featureset. And Photoshop features evolved to serve the artists and graphic designers. As in people who actually do work on that software instead of designing it.

    How many americans will be able to buy one in a few years if current trend of removing money from the poor and concentrating it in the hands of the few continues?

  7. Re:Insurance Policy? on Hacker Releases 1.7TB Treasure Trove of Gaming Info · · Score: 1

    Such a case would have game companies driving it. If game companies are extremely interested in this package not getting decrypted by everyone, they will not make crime reports, they will stall their help for any ongoing cases and may even ask authorities to drop the case entirely.

    It's not so much blackmail as holding a hostage.

    You make it sound like your vote would have mattered. You have a one party system with two separate arms with different names. The "other guy" would have done exactly the same things.

    And population that is too busy trying to pay for the life style it's been told from birth it needs to maintain to be "a decent human being" can't afford to protest. Debts would crush their lives if they tried.

  9. Re:Violence on Google Glass Banned At Google Shareholder Meeting · · Score: 1

    Again, storage type is irrelevant from privacy's point of view. All that matters is ability to continuously record data from the camera and feed it anywhere. Even if you never store it locally and instead send it to google (which is what the glass is designed to do in the first place), it's still the same issue.

  10. Re:Violence on Google Glass Banned At Google Shareholder Meeting · · Score: 1

    STORAGE (which you are referring to) is irrelevant. The legislation is aimed to protect privacy. All you need is ability to constantly RECORD information. Glass does this, even if it doesn't store said information.

    For example, dashcams function in a way very similar to that of glass.

  12. Re:USoE on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 1

    But they can set the minimum sentence to zero. Which kills your entire perversion of truth.

  13. Re:USoE on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 1

    Kindly quote where it says that. Again, according to the source (instead of sensationalist lie used in the topic) there is no mandatory minimum sentence. A nation state may adapt a minimum sentence of no punishment.

    I'm guessing you're the standard anti-EU nutjob that happily swallows whatever lies are being fed to him without even bothering to look at the source to see that he's being told a bold faced lie.

  14. Re:USoE on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 2

    Read the topic. It clearly states "minimum sentence cap" instead of "minimum length of maximum sentence"

  15. Re:This bs is top priority? for crying out loud. on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 2

    Finland has no minimum wage. At all. We're still pretty high up, and our poverty rates are minimal.

    Of course that is due to the fact that de facto minimal wage is agreed in negotiations between unions and union of employers for each industry typically on yearly basis among other things.

  16. Re:USoE on EU Countries Closer To Mandatory Minimum Sentence Cap For Hacking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why, because of clickbait lie? Read the damn story.

    Minimum sentence can be a fine, or nothing. But maximum sentence cannot be less then two years for hacking, and five years for hacking of critical infrastructure. Not to mention that European Parliament is a democratically elected legislative branch of EU, directly elected by member states' citizens. It's the most and arguably only democratic branch of EU.

  17. Re:Why is it a consumer isue? on It's Time To Start Taking Stolen Phones Seriously · · Score: 1

    Likely extremely. Terrorists need to be "legendary" in concept that they are rare enough so that most people have never known one. They need to remain elusive, scary, and potentially everywhere but not really seen. The big part of fear factor comes from the fact that few if any citizens ever came face to face with one, so fear of the unknown remains a healthy factor.

  20. Re:Constitution on The NSA: Never Not Watching · · Score: 2

    What authorizes current government, or any government is not a piece of paper. It's a combination of people accepting the government and big movers and shakers behind the country accepting them to do their bidding.

    Propaganda control is successful enough to push whatever result through to the general public.
