  1. Re: Like a dice on Does a Black Hole Have a Shape? · · Score: 1

    I'm still getting a few referrals from time to time.

    I only ever mined Dogecoins months ago, I was way too late in the game to mine Bitcoins.

  2. Re:What a guy! on Ransomware Creator Apologizes For "Sleeper" Attack, Releases Decryption Keys · · Score: 1

    When you get some *real* skills, then try getting a good job that pays well.

    Simply having skills isn't enough anymore. There's not enough jobs and companies want to pay less for the same jobs every year.

  3. Refund Bitcoin? on Ransomware Creator Apologizes For "Sleeper" Attack, Releases Decryption Keys · · Score: 1

    Strangely enough, you need someone very honest to "refund" anything via Bitcoin because he has to send the coins back himself, there's no "return/refund" mechanisms.

    So, all we can say is that guy is a "really honest crook", as strange and contradictory as it seems.

  4. Re:What after one year? on Windows 10 Release Date: July 29th · · Score: 1

    But the real question is, with Linux being free and major OS X updates costing around 20$, is it still valid for Microsoft to ask 100$+ for their OS?

  5. Re:What after one year? on Windows 10 Release Date: July 29th · · Score: 1

    And what's the cost for XP or new Windows users? Not everyone already has Windows 7 or 8.

  6. Re:trashdot is at it again on Does a Black Hole Have a Shape? · · Score: 1

    Yeah. Any idiot knows that half a hole is still a hole, black or not.

    Fuck off, Dice.

  8. Re:Meh on NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 980 Ti Costs $350 Less Than TITAN X, Performs Similarly · · Score: 4, Funny

    320x240, why do you ask?

  9. Yeah sure on Tron 3 Is Cancelled · · Score: 2, Funny

    Tron was a great sequel and I've heard good things about Tomorrowland, but they'd rather make things like princess movies. They're Disney, after all.

    When can we expect yet another cute puppy-centered live movie?

  10. Re: Marketing-driven deadlines on Windows 10 RTM In 6 Weeks · · Score: 1

    It's not free if you only have XP or want to build/buy a new computer.

    And at 109$USD for an OS alone, it's really expensive.

  11. Re:Could be worst on MinGW and MSVCRT Conflict Causes Floating-Point Value Corruption · · Score: 0

    Sorry, non-native english.

  12. Re:That's a good thing on How Elon Musk's Growing Empire is Fueled By Government Subsidies · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lobbying used to be called bribery. Just because there's a few strings attached doesn't make it any difference in actual practice.

  13. Could be worst on MinGW and MSVCRT Conflict Causes Floating-Point Value Corruption · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Try doing the same thing on an original Pentium.

  14. I agree, donations are a good idea!

    If you liked my comment, please donate 5 Dogecoins to D9scjyKETYZesSmhjCR4vye4bc6iDqXPd6.

  15. Re:Value for money bail outs on How Elon Musk's Growing Empire is Fueled By Government Subsidies · · Score: 1

    That's exactly what I was about to post. The other car companies were bailed out, as well as banks. At least Elon is doing something with great potential.

  16. Re:Private Profiles on Orange County Public Schools To Monitor Students On Social Media · · Score: 1

    Privacy terms change. Companies change hands. Profits come first. Information is valuable to both companies and thieves.

    Those are facts and those situations happen all the time in reality.

    But continue going "lalalalala" with your fingers in your ears if it helps you.

  17. Re:Private Profiles on Orange County Public Schools To Monitor Students On Social Media · · Score: 1

    There's no citation needed. If the information is available, either it will be sold or it will be stolen.

  18. Preserving is not the right word on Artist Uses 3D Printing To Preserve Artifacts Destroyed By ISIS · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Low-resolution copies of the originals does not help preserve the originals.

  19. Re:Billions on Google Chrome Tops 1 Billion Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    Let the RIAA count those numbers again, because I'm pretty sure the total should be around 600 billion users.

    Then again if you let Verizon do the math, Google only has 60 million users.

  20. Re:Probably a more useful metric than social netwo on Google Chrome Tops 1 Billion Users · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Going with the free email from your ISP means that you lose your email address if/when you switch to another ISP.

  21. Re:guys, i got an idea! on Google Chrome Tops 1 Billion Users · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Some people already seem to think that Facebook is the Internet.

  22. The most powerful computer in the world is useless without software to run on it. What's the point of a powerful Android gaming console if only phone-type games are released on Android?

    Any other game console is going to have more games than this thing.

    I use HEAAC at 64kbps for the car. ;-)
