  1. Re:Think Bigger Picture on Google Redesigns Image Search, Raises Copyright and Hosting Concerns · · Score: 1

    I can confirm, that the traffic from image search is down by 20 percent. People are being forced out of business.

  2. Play for time on Piriform Asks BleachBit To Remove Winapp2.ini Importer · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Do it like the Indians in the call centers. Tell them that you are working hard on this issue and are very keen to resolve it as soon as possible, but do nothing in reality.

    Play for time until they are bored.

  3. Welcome to Bureaucracy Superpower on Apple Granted Trademark For Its Stores · · Score: 1
    The bureaucrats in the USA must be getting filthy rich from all of those ridicules patents that they approve.

    The patent processing fees are probably in the millions per month.

    The only reason for patents to exist, is the processing fee that gets paid to bureaucrats. They encourage the companies to file more patents by approving all of the possible ones and rejecting them, if anybody complains later on.

    This bureaucratic money making system is beautiful.

  4. Looking for errors is fun game on Will Renewable Energy Ever Meet All Our Energy Needs? · · Score: 1
    So this reasoning human was looking for errors.

    The fun thing of this game is that the assumptions of this human were also wrong.

    The world-population is not growing as fast as it has been and the numbers of people are going to decline in the future, if the housing is going to continue to be so expensive.

  5. Few Countries on DRONENET: An Internet of Drones · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately there are only a few countries where the drones of today may be economical.

    Look at Ecuador for example, they have slow infrastructure and insane mountains everywhere. Drones would connect this relatively small country very well. They have small landing fields everywhere and possible delivery needs of all sorts.

  6. Re:Guaranteed Extinct Within 5 Years on Panda Blood May Hold Potent Assailant Against Superbugs · · Score: 1

    The panda is the Chinese national symbol. They have political reasons to do anything possible to save it. It is way better conserved than the tigers that will eventually go extinct, if the rate of their decrease will go on.

  7. Re:Yes we can! on New Documents Detail FBI, Bank Crack Down On Occupy Wall Street · · Score: 1

    More hope than change probably.

  8. Re:Cyberpunk on Rivalry Building Between Amazon and Google · · Score: 1

    They could build a peer to peer marketplace, where users have ratings and very easy to create product pages. Take away the fees for transaction and you will beat Amazon and Google. Anyone can copy Amazon and ebay into one, make it with 3% commission rate and beat out the competition, while improving the shopping for the masses.

  9. Re:Steam? Railroads? on Krugman: Is the Computer Revolution Coming To a Close? · · Score: 1

    Can you build a circular railroad and have 1 million customers, then put the trains on super fast and delete all of the stations ???

  10. Root Kit it for fun on Arduino and MK802 Robot, Controlled By Phone · · Score: 1

    You can control it randomly too. The robot is controlled by address calls.

    212.235.232.101:8080/3/100/1 - backward

    100 is a parameter of speed of DC motor, it could go from 0 to 255.

    Have fun messing around !

  11. Re:31km in an Earthquake Zone on Ask Slashdot: Should Scientists Build a New Particle Collider In Japan? · · Score: 1

    Technically yes, Japan is the seismically most active area of the world, but they are also capable to create structures that are flexible and do not move when the ground moves.

    Japan is probably the best country for making it tolerant to shaking, even if the flat Australia would be much better and cheaper.

  12. Re:And suddenly on Instagram Wants To Sell Users' Photos Without Notice · · Score: 1

    The funny part is that they will take the pictures of the users and then sue them for using their images illegally.

    This was their plant to make money all along.

  13. Re:Twitter: yes. Facebook: No. on Ask Slashdot: Facebook, Twitter For Business, Is It Worth the Privacy Trade-Off? · · Score: 1

    Yes, privacy and secrets are allays a concern, but I believe that employees must have access to their social networks during breaks, becasue it makes them happy. Otherwise the management is loosing out to get employee motivation for free.

  14. Re:C# ? Hang 'em... on Japanese Police Offers First-Ever Reward For Wanted Hacker · · Score: 1

    I would upvote this joke, if I would know how to do it in here !

    And also, this guy can hack, he can surf the net without leaving traces, but all he ever wanted is to do some stupid crimes in school ???

    He must be real crazy, or the police is not saying the truth, becasue usually the people with those abilities make serious, illegal money, instead of shooting their brains out in schools.

  15. Re:rampage killers on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    You just gave the facts against your own argument.

    Look at the kill count in modern Germany, after 1950. Guns in here are totally a no-go. Not sure about other countries, but in here the sate is the only organization that is allowed to have the monopoly on deadly force. Guns for hunting do require special courses, certificate papers and money. So, the broke, crazy asses without support can not get them. And when they get the guns, they actually suck at shooting, unlike the well trained American crazies.

  16. Re:impossible on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    The people who love guns are going to say that we need more guns to stop people like this criminal.

    If having guns would stop the shootings, why is the USA still a country where this happens almost every year now ?

  17. Re:Of course it is ... on Is Technology Eroding Employment? · · Score: 1

    Technology will replace people. It just a question of time. The real good question is how to feed and what to do with the people that are being replaced.

    I have no answer for this, but I hope that one day everyone can make products at home and market online, so that there are no factories that produce products with robots and sell them to real people who have no way to earn money.

  18. Re:Especially the robot CEO's on Schmidt On Why Tax Avoidance is Good, Robot Workers, and Google Fiber · · Score: 1

    The robots will probably pay the taxes. This is why there are no robot CEOs.

  19. Re:Probably Would Have Been Better off in China on New Hampshire Cops Use Taser On Woman Buying Too Many iPhones · · Score: 1

    USA is the best country in the world. There is no such thing as the bureaucratic empire of friends and servants of the law. Everyone is equal in the USA, but some people are more equal than others.

    Police in other countries would just ask, if she has any money to pay for the phones or if she needs any help to bring them to her car.

    Thank you very much. You just gave an idea of how the aliens use geological compositions and sediment deposits to pave their roads with something radar-reflective.

    With your help, we are going to give more credit to the conspiracy.

    The white spots on the river banks look like population hot-spots on earth.

    Let the conspiracy theorists begin making up stuff.
    Surely they will claim something about extra-terrestrial cities and FBI secrets.

  23. Re:Interesting censorship idea: self-incrimination on Google's Image Search Now Requires Explicit Queries For Explicit Results · · Score: 1

    This is also bad for Google, because their image search will be bad now. They censor images that are clean, becasue some other dirty websites might have linked the images or published links to them on dirty pages.

    The one who implemented this feature is not aware that a large portion of the censored images are actually very normal and not dirty in any way.

    Yahoo is improving the assets at the moment. Google should not feel that safe for the play of monopoly on content.

  24. Hampering innovation on New EU-Wide Patent System Approved · · Score: 0

    Hampering innovation is what the patents are doing by design.

    The politicians say that the costs are going to be lower, which means that anyone can hamper innovation 80% cheaper now.
    The politicians say that it is going to be easy to patent stuff, which means that anyone can hamper innovation faster.
    The politicians say that the patents are going to be approved centrally, which means that the fees from patents are going to channeled to some guy who will be the head of the new patent approval organization.

    Conclusion : It will be cheaper, easier and faster to transfer money to that new Unitary Patent Organization, that is so happy to take away the fees from other, existing patent organizations. From the outside, if just looks, as if the bureaucrats are fighting for bigger parts of the cake between themselves.

  25. Re:That's great... on Four Cups of Coffee A Day Cuts Risk of Oral Cancer · · Score: 2

    Correct. We should use our common sense in here.
    Hot coffee can actually increase the chances of cancer, if you burn your tissue way too often.

    The coffee producers funded a study that said that hot tea can create cancer. Now they funded a study that promotes coffee, but actually the tea is far more superior than coffee against cancer, because it can be blended and have multiple effects, instead of one. Most of the medicine was extracted from herbs. And most of tea is made from herbs too.

    The most healthiest coffee is probably the non-roasted, green coffee that is blended with mate and honey.
