  1. Re:Some systems MUST be 100% fool-proof on Altering Text In eBooks To Track Pirates · · Score: 1

    Piracy has absolutely zero impact on e-book sales.

    a) 70% of the best-sellers are romance novels. Most pirates are neckbeard fatasses who are afraid of women.

    b) 70% of e-book readers are women. See above.

    You could pirate e-books naked in front of a police station. Nobody would give a shit.

  2. Re:So, uh... what are they copyrighting then? on Altering Text In eBooks To Track Pirates · · Score: 1

    The new version is a derivative work: only a copyright owner can prepare a derivative work under U.S. law.

    IANAL

    They'll just laugh at you for spending time and money making yourself look like a douchebag.

    And your file sharing will have zero effect on sales of an e-book.

    If you are going to any trouble to pirate a 99 cent e-book, you need a job.

  5. And so it ends on MS To Indie Devs: You Have a To Have a Publisher · · Score: 1

    The console makers strangle each other in their hysterical paranoid greed, leaving the PC as the undisputed king of gaming platforms forever.

    The PC always wins. It destroyed console gaming. It will destroy the mobile market next after Apple and Google are found with their hands around each other's throats.

    IBM, Valve and Linux win!

    hahahahaha

  6. Thread Recap on Teen's Biofuel Invention Turns Algae Into Fuel · · Score: 1

    100 fat stupid big-mouth know-it-all towering assholes criticize working invention in a nasal smartass tone of voice while ramming another mom-prepared hot pocket into their distended fat neckbeard-encrusted sneering faces.

    The only thing that makes threads like this tolerable is the certain knowledge that nobody will ever take any of you seriously about anything.

  8. Re:what a waste of time on Microsoft Office Finally Gets iOS App · · Score: 0

    I prefer to type on a tool designed for typing: a keyboard.

    A screen is designed to display information. Not as a typing device.

    But that won't stop the retards who make mobile apps from trying to make everyone believe that a touch screen is superior to a keyboard. All it does is prove they are so busy jacking off to their mobile devices they never bothered to learn the concept of the right tool for the job.

    If you connect a keyboard to it, its a shitty PC. Why not use a real PC?

    Most bosses are retarded incompetents. Give them the toys. Leave the real computers for people who do real work.

    The mobile app market is an endless greased-up cash grab by stupid people who do not understand the concept of the "wrong tool for the job."

    Doing real "work" on a mobile phone is like assembling a car engine with your teeth. It is completely retarded.

    You're the kind of guy who, if Kate Upton walked up to you in a red cocktail dress with a "let's reproduce" look on her face the first thing out of your mouth would be "the science demonstrates that this is impossible" in exactly the tone of voice that everyone imagines that line would be said in.

    Brain isolation. Do you have any idea the torment that would be endured by an isolated brain? I think that could easily qualify as the worst crime ever perpetrated upon one human being by another.

    Do you science-worshipping jackasses even hear yourselves? I realize neckbeard-ism requires you to reject all emotion, but this is pure inhumanity.

    Thank God there aren't enough of you to get funding or political momentum.

    There's nothing more entertaining than a random collection of chemicals that, according to itself, crawled out of the muck 5 minutes ago in cosmic terms and is now going to lecture the universe on how things are.

    You don't know dick. In cosmic terms, the human race is a toddler that has just now learned the lights go on when the switch is up, and off when the switch is down. Our "engineers" are the toddler that flips the light on and off repeatedly while making a noise like "huhuHUHUHuHuHuHUUhuUHUHUhuuH"

    Any scientific pronouncements uttered by humanity are chuckled at by the cosmos and the various advanced beings in it the same way adults chuckle at a toddler who marches around the house wearing a pasta strainer on their head.

    The human race can't even feed itself and wipe its own ass yet. Get the fuck over yourself.

    All the technology people have fled, leaving behind a handful of trolls and wiseasses.

    It was fun once, I guess. Someone needs to open a site where we can talk Linux and technology without the neckbeard bigot hate-mongering atheist crybaby pro-corporate pro-government obsessive anarcho-fascist unemployed dropout jackasses that infest sites like Reddit and that sockpuppet circlejerk at Boingboing.

    Scribus, LaTex, and Lyx dont run in wine

    So quick to wiseass that you don't even realize how stupid you sound. Scribus runs on Windows. LaTeX and LyX have been running on Windows and Mac for oh, going on 20 years.

    We have the source code, genius. We can port Scribus, LaTeX and LyX to anything.

    "Noone uses Outlook" just reveals that you dont do any IT work in any sizeable organization,
