  1. Re:Infinite energy! on Scientists Develop Solar Cell That Can Also Emit Light · · Score: -1, Troll

    o Since when is the lowercase "O" a bullet?

  2. Re:Yet another reason... on IRS: Bitcoin Is Property, Not Currency · · Score: 1

    People who mined Bitcoins at the beginning are now millionaires, what's stupid about that?

  3. Re:Money on IRS: Bitcoin Is Property, Not Currency · · Score: 1

    Government cannot declare anything to be money any more than I can declare myself to be a ballerina.

    I'm pretty sure you can declare yourself a ballerina if you want to. Who's going to check? The ballerina police?

    Sorry, forgot to edit my copy/paste.

    One Bitcoin will always equal 100 000 000 satoshis.

    Bravo Slashdot. I can't even write a non-breaking space nor use   in my comments, even in 2014. Bravo.

    One Bitcoin will always equal 100,000,000 satoshis.

  6. Re:Probably really bad news for bitcoin, actually on IRS: Bitcoin Is Property, Not Currency · · Score: 0

    Most commerces won't bother with trading Bitcoins directly just like they don't deal with credit cards directly. Right now they use POS systems to deal with VISA and MasterCard, and they'll use a service like BitPay to accept Bitcoins.

  7. Re:Yet another reason... on IRS: Bitcoin Is Property, Not Currency · · Score: 0

    That's like saying nobody should use PayPal, nobody should buy stocks.

    Just let it go already. You didn't mine Bitcoins at the beginning and now you're pissed off because you're not rich.

  8. Re:You just got told on IRS: Bitcoin Is Property, Not Currency · · Score: 2

    Quite the opposite. Since the value of Bitcoins can fluctuate, just like stocks, it not only makes sense for the government but it also makes it a legitimate and legal market in the USA.

  9. Re:Source code for 3.3 was out there long ago.... on Microsoft Posts Source Code For MS-DOS and Word For Windows · · Score: 1

    As far as I can recall, the Tandy 1000 series had its MS-DOS in ROM, you don't even need a floppy or hard drive in order to boot it.

  10. FreeDOS on Microsoft Posts Source Code For MS-DOS and Word For Windows · · Score: 1, Informative

    Stop asking Microsoft for the source code to MS-DOS when there's already a compatible DOS available for free.

    Dear Brendan,

    gay people have the rights to be miserable too.

    I wanted to make a joke about the ignorance of how the world works and you totally ruined it with facts.

    Of course we won't, because he's naturally blurry.

    In Soviet Alaska, Windows look at YOU!*

    * because Russian hackers installed spyware on your PC and spy on you via your webcam.

    I think killing things "for fun" is something psychopaths do.

  18. Re:Bad Analogy on Cryptocurrency Exchange Vircurex To Freeze Customer Accounts · · Score: 1

    Let's try using Bitcoins planet-wide right now. After all it's only one planet in one solar system in one galaxy.

  19. Re:It only makes sense. on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    Google doesn't publish global stats, so I can't quote anything.

  20. Re:meh on Functional 3D-Printed Tape Measure · · Score: 1

    The replicators from Star Trek basically "print" objects using atoms instead of plastic, so we only need to use atoms filaments instead of plastic filaments!

    Another example: try to buy metric drill bits at regular hardware stores.

    Not if you switch to metric time.

  23. Re:Let me know when... on Functional 3D-Printed Tape Measure · · Score: 1

    That's the nice part. You can print smaller scaled versions of the cop and merge them together when you want a larger one.

  24. Re:It only makes sense. on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    Given that page counters usage is down and Google Analytics usage is up, I wouldn't trust the numbers from statcounter.

  25. Re:Intel on AMD Develops New Linux Open-Source Driver Model · · Score: 1

    As opposed to all the "official" benchmarks that have been compiled to give Intel an edge against AMD?
