Just shut every fucking site you've purchased down already. I can't imagine you guys EVER regaining whatever credibility you might have thought you had. Your websites are bleeding to death while you're picking their pockets for every last penny you can find.
You have in the past (and probably still do) ban people from posting from you website, including paying customers, in a fashion that makes the users not aware of their status. Given that this is fraud, do you plan on implementing any sort of Shadowbanning as governor? Perhaps billing constituents for state services without providing them?
DVI can support the same HDCP protection as HDMI because it's the same fucking thing with a different connector shape. The anti-HDMI fud here is idiotic.
Making HDMI ports requires a license/royalty (whereas things like DisplayPort is an open VESA standard and requires no royalty payments).
The reason why diamonds are so expensive isn't the result of De Beers, but rather the governments of the western world refusing to sell diamonds unless they are certified as "conflict free" and the government of many diamond producing nations having laws in place to limit the harvesting and exporting of diamonds.
... because De Beers has influence over these governments to maintain the market conditions that De Beers wants. The problem with free market puritanism is that it attempts to completely separate the private entity with the government entities they manipulate. Some would even go so far as to try to victimize De Beers. The fact remains that De Beers is just as complicit in all the bloodshed in those regions. Playing the "only blame the governments involved" is shortsighted.
So what? Cartels will naturally fall apart given no government interference. It is in their best interests to cheat on this agreement. Its just like the prisoner's dilemma, while it might be best for all of them to cooperate, they won't because they want an advantage over their competitors. Cartels never last so long as there is a lack of government involvement.

Yes, but it's terribly nerdy to blithely dismiss these stories if you don't use/like/know-anything-about the software, isn't it?
Yeah, I work in an Oracle shop. I've also been on/. since it was on Malda's Alpha. My point is the intent of the submission, since there's plenty of nerdy stuff to post besides some piece about turtleneckboy's latest crapware bug written up on just another industry rag.
Not by much, "Corporate Expensiveware Has Bug, Film At 11" isn't interesting nor very "nerdy" on its own. If you watch what gets frontpaged and who the submitters are lately, it should become obvious that modern/. is just clickbait for the big IT rags. I doubt this is merely coincidence, so I'm wondering what's going on behind the scenes.

Slashdot Mirror
I think it's just timothy trying to inject some eye-catching words in the headline for click-baiting.
Because timothy.
And block that crap at the router.
Or will Win10 cease to function at that point?
It's the same framerate at this:
$ cat /dev/null
Some shitty Phoronix post about KDE vs GNOME? Is Dice running low on clicks lately?
Dice clickbait. Nothing to see here, etc
C# isn't declining in popularity from where I sit - Slashdot is.
You don't need to be a Kreskin.

You've "won". It's over. Shut them all down.
adware-infested installers, perhaps hosted on SourceForge, which could also track customers.

In another universe, there is no slashdot.
In that universe I wonder which other websites Dice ruined.
I wonder if any Van Halen fans at MS pushed for "UI812".
the chose to use Bing to check. Shoulda used Google!
Microsoft would pay small rebates for every patch for Windows they released...

we need that money to fuel the lawyers for all our patent violation lawsuits against each other.

If you relativize "good" and "evil", you end of having nothing.
For the evil the good is evil.
Good and evil *are* relative, unless you have some sort of universal definition that everyone can agree on.
Soulskill, you are advancing your political and world views at the expense of slashdot's quality.
What quality? It's a sure way to generate page hits, which is all that the Geek.net overlords care about.
