  1. Re:Wow on Largest-Yet EVE Online Battle Destroys $200,000 Worth of Starships · · Score: 1

    You are wrong on the basics, because the destroyed ships can be recycled and looted in that game, so the loss of one is a win for the others. It was a wealth redistribution battle, that is why so many scavenger ships did participate in there and got smashed.

  2. Re:So What??? on 23-Year-Old Chess Grandmaster Whips Bill Gates In 71 Seconds · · Score: 1

    Furthermore the game was set up to be quick and for fun without much else. Gate lost, because he took the bate in this game.

  3. Re:Still 3K$ for a monitor on YouTube Goes 4K — and VP9 — At CES · · Score: 1

    You are late. 2014 will have a screen for 1k USD at 4k pxl resolution. Old prices are irrelevant now.

  4. Re:Worst MacBook EVER on Ask Slashdot: Best Laptops For Fans Of Pre-Retina MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    Have a look at HP business laptops (pro line). They make them intentionally for businesses who order thousands of units and need frequent upgrades. They even provide Bios upgrades for as long as 5 years sometimes. Their consumer models are nowhere near in terms of updatability and support.

  5. Re:Why are they doing this? on Singapore & South Korea Help NSA Tap Undersea Cables · · Score: 1

    Japan did refuse. China does refuse. Russia does refuse.

  6. Re:Tomorrow in the news: on Norway's Army Battles Global Warming By Going Vegetarian · · Score: 1

    Funny joke.
    Sweden can increase health of their soldiers, if they go vegetarian every second day. Protein is hard to get rid off in the metabolic system. It is better to give the body some time before a news pile of metabolized protein does trash the body.

  7. Re:Easy! on CCC Says Apple iPhone 5S TouchID Broken · · Score: 1

    They have been doing this before iPhone 5. Their bast hack was the collection of fingerprints from high grade politicians, from restaurant glasses. One of their magazines published the fingerprints and explained how to print them with printers and strap them on thin latex gloves. It was a protest act against fingerprints in passport, but the politics did not listen.

  8. Re:Drupal sucks. on Crowdfunding Platform For Drupal Development Launches · · Score: 0

    Drupal is better than you think, becasue the other offers in this world do suuuck even more.

  9. Re:Imagine this happening with music and movies on Valve Announces Family Sharing On Steam, Can Include Friends · · Score: 1

    Valve is super smart on this one. Sharing is like free advertising for them. They get more users and personal advocates for free. Sharing will work out for them, just like video sharing or Tupperware sharing parties are working out.

  10. Re:Blame Microsoft on Seagate's Shingled Magnetic Recording Tech Boosts HDD Capacities to 5TB and Up · · Score: 1

    No need. Seagate will come up with a design to leave out one empty row for every 10 rows of overlapping data. This way they can manage the amount of data that needs to be rewritten. This of course will happen in the next generation, after they see how their first design sucks.

  11. Re:Does the order matter? on Ministry of Sound Suing Spotify Over User Playlists · · Score: 2

    Ministry of Sound is officially evil. The electronic music was supposed to be like open source, where Djs and producers do allow creative use of their music, because Djing and remixing is not possible without sharing.

  12. Re:uhuh sure on Apple Now Relaying All FaceTime Calls Due To Lost Patent Dispute · · Score: 1

    Your non-action against thought crime has been logged.

  13. Re:Of, by, and for the powerful elite on U.S. Gov't Still Fighting the Man Behind Buckyballs; Guess Who's Winning? · · Score: 1

    Craig Zucker is an AAA-Level A-hole. He used to sue competitors of him while he was in business. And now he is complaining about the same cruelty that he did to others. It only suits him well that he is in the same situation now as his own victims were.

  14. Code for the world instead on Code For America: 'The Peace Corps For Geeks' · · Score: 1

    The self-imposed American government of the (The North) is not very respected among the people with more than half a brain. No money, no free work. I guess that smart coders would rather code for the world in an open source way, instead of coding for one corrupt system that is breaking their lives in numerous ways.

    The divine pasta has spoken. The true god is wining.

  16. Re:Self Driving on Uber Tip-Skimming Allegations Could Spark National Class Action · · Score: 1

    Super funny how the law is resisting technology. The winners will embrace Uber and use it to max out the profit during work. The others will loose.

  17. Yes to Money, but not as donation. on Ask Slashdot: How To Get Open Source Projects To Take Our Money? · · Score: 0

    You could give 3k to me and I will publish a batch of the best 100 images under the creative commons license on Flickr. The images would be free to use for everybody. I can guarantee an audience in the millions. I can guarantee perfection and quality which you can see in advance. The problem is that you can not get your money to be marked as donation, because I am not an registered non-profit organization as same a many of the open source developers and contributors. Donating money is easy, getting it recognized as donation is harder. Contact epSos.de on Flickr with your money granting proposals and have fun !

  18. Re:Tin-foil... on Moscow Subway To Use Special Devices To Read Data On Passengers' Phones · · Score: 2

    To their defense, the Russian police actually does locate stolen phones. The German police does spy on us, but never gives us the location of our stolen or lost phones, because they say that it is not their job. In reality, all of the governments use this kind of surveillance tech, but only Russia is OK to provide it openly to the real people on the street. There are a lot of things that the RUSS government does very badly, but some they do much better then the hypocritical governments in the west. The govt. debt of example, they were strong enough to just default on it and move on in 1998. The EU is crippling itself over debt and is dragging millions into poverty over it. It is the same hypocrisy that let's them protect our privacy in public, but actually spy on us in private. I am very sure this phone locator tech will get abused, but at least they provide non-abuse services with it too, unlike the governments that do not even admit that they use such technology.

  19. Welcome to the future. The smartest taxi drivers will use ride sharing services to eliminate their down time. The others will get broke.

  20. Re:What if my name was Hitler on In Germany, Offensive Autocomplete Is No Laughing Matter · · Score: 1

    Your comment is more valid than you think. There are a few people who are named Hitler or Adolf in Germany. They are usually older. I have heard of one personally. They are usually immigrants from the former German exile communities from the eastern Europe and Kazakhstan. Due to different regulation and history, they were forced to keep their names. The Germans themselves managed to change their family names, if it was associated with Nazis in any way.

  21. Talking Snake on Creationist Bets $10k In Proposed Literal Interpretation of Genesis Debate · · Score: 1
    The best argument against the GENESIS myth is the talking snake.

    The story has devil in form of the talking snake. A lot of talking animals are also present in cartoons and are purely fake.

    If, god was a being that created the humans, then how can devil be a shape-shifting being that can talk in a language of Adam and Eve that did not have their own language to learn in the first place.

    Why would god want to teach them the language of gods, if he had prohibited them from eating the wisdom apple, so that they do not learn anything that the gods know. The genesis book contradicted itself in this, god has given knowledge before they even ate the apple and therefore he just behaved like a very spoiled child for throwing them out of the house for learning something new !

    If the super intelligent creationist god does behave like a 9 year old child, than the whole story is rather fishy.

  22. Re:For the love of god, shut up about buttcoins! on How the First Bitcoin Hedge Fund Approaches Security · · Score: 1

    You are mislead by the crazy people who were first to support bitcoin, look up the recent investors, who invested into bitcoin companies. Are you claiming them to be insane for having invested into similarly crazy ideas that did work out. Those VC people know money when they smell it. Have a second look at bitcoin, but do not look at it as money. Look at it as a very liquid kind of stock that you can pay with.

  23. Re:This is very true on Large Corporations Displacing Aging IT Workers With H-1B Visa Workers · · Score: 1

    It would have been better to ask the older employees to get paid less. Some of them would be willing to reduce their pay, if they get a guaranteed contract for 3 to 5 years. Manages are very dumb at thinking long term, becasue the invisible HR costs and employee loyalty is a very low advantage in their eyes. They are very wrong.

  24. Re:This is pretty silly. on Russian Search Engine Yandex Beats Bing · · Score: 1

    Or maybe, becasue Yandex lets you search for the stuff that is blocked on all other search engines. Go try it yourself.

  25. Re:When the Billionaire makes a move... on Eric Schmidt To Sell Up To 42% of Stake In Google · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The Google CEO is aware of the coming inflation of the USD, which will plummet US stock, because the international investors will relocate the assets to other countries in case of an inflation. The inflation is needed to reduce the US debt. Or did you really think that the USA is going to create more money out of nothing. They will just make the debt less valuable and pay off with ease. He is actually behind schedule, becasue other super rich people already dumped the stocks from USA. China will demand payment very soon, so that the inflation is the only possible way of reducing the value of the debt in a quick way.
