  1. Re:Picasso on Why Games Should Be In the Public Domain · · Score: 1

    The fact that it's intellectual/code/electronic/non-physical/content seems to mean it should be free.

  2. Re:IIS better in almost every way. on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 2

    Why has Apache started to lose ground?

  3. Re:I'm switching to IIS! on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 4, Funny

    The MS shills are out in force posting as AC, you mean?

  5. Office 365 on Satya Nadella Named Microsoft CEO · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, after being responsible for Office 365, what could possibly go wrong?

  6. Re:IE needs a "No Script" add-in! on Microsoft's IE Is the Most Targeted Application By Security Researchers · · Score: 2

    Going back to what the summary says, IE is usually present on the systems _that haxors want to compromise_.

    Corporate machines, which have IE because they are chained to legacy systems that once required it.

    Corporate machiens, where access is available to much more valuable data than some grandma's Hotmail password.

  7. Re:you do know... on Ask Slashdot: Are Linux Desktop Users More Pragmatic Now Or Is It Inertia? · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's the company which develops the user interface that wants to foist this "one size fits all" model on people, because:

    1. They simply don't want to have to keep up with development for both, in terms of effort and cost.

    2. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so content can all be monetized (in their favor).

    3. They want to herd everyone into a walled garden, so the OS can control the machine without having to ask too many questions about it.

    It's like that centuries-old saying gunga-gunga-gunga-galunga. Which translated from the classical tongue means, "If your auntie had balls she'd be your uncle."

  11. Re:Such documents trove on Now On Video: GCHQ Destroying Laptop Full of Snowden Disclosures · · Score: 1

    More precisely, there really is no way for a journo to know what is dangerous to disclose and what isn't. The only source that could really tell us that are those who the information would embarrass to begin with.

  12. Re:Great plan Nintendo on Nintendo Could Base Comeback On Improving Peoples' Health · · Score: 1

    It's no coincidence that Wii Fit was successful because it appealed widely to people who are not young children.

    Nintendo seems to have positioned themselves somewhere between LeapPads and the other gaming systems - a platform for kid-safe, ultra-casual gaming.

    The latest console was a flop. They've been behind the curve on hardware since two (three?) console generations ago. They have no real properties that they haven't had since the 1990s.

    It's hard to think of why you'd be interested in Nintendo if you were > age 10, unless you are interested in Mario or Pokemon

    And yet, IE remains.

    Does that mean Putin will get a peace prize for stopping Obama's warmongering in Syria?

  15. Re:Liar, liar pants on fire! on Rovio Denies Knowledge of NSA Access, Angry Birds Website Defaced Anyway · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Well, there are numerous parties we can blame here. Certainly the NSA, but what about the advertising companies? They build leaky software, and they make their money by harvesting information you don't know you're sending or don't wish to be sending to them anyway.

    Shouldn't these fly by night outfits that serve ads on the internet and trade in your personal information have some responsibility to protect it?

    if Holder still has his job after all the scandal and corruption, the chances a crony holding a key office and overseeing the surveillance program is canned for doing exactly what the emperor says? Zero point zero.

  19. Re:And so it begins... on Bitcoin Exchange CEO Charlie Shrem Arrested On Money Laundering Charge · · Score: 5, Interesting

    since bitcoin isn't a currency so much as it is a ledger where everything is tracked and traceable, it does not seem like the ideal venue for illegal transactions. The "paper trail" is going to be out there.

    One article I recently read described Bitcoins as "prosecution futures". I think they might have been right.

    I mean no matter how innovative or cunning the group of humans is in trying to protect themselves, they can at best hope to stay one step ahead of the zombies

  21. The government = zombies on FBI Has Tor Mail's Entire Email Database · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In those zombie movies, no matter how well the humans are barricaded in a place, eventually the slow-witted zombies will always break in. They have all the numbers and time required.

  22. Re:It might be an unpopular opinion... on Ask Slashdot: What Does Edward Snowden Deserve? · · Score: 0, Troll

    Snowden committed crimes. For the rule of law, he should be tried and sentenced to the prescribed penalty for those crimes.

    I'm glad we know what he told us. But you can't not prosecute people who undoubtedly did commit crimes because you agree with their stated motives.

  23. Re:The real point of what Detroit has to offer... on Detroit Wants Its Own High-Tech Visa · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's the Republicans' fault that Detroit is in the state that it's in?
