    That's not true, Mooncoin is losing value every day.

  3. Re:Missed the Boat? on Ask Slashdot: Time To Get Into Crypto-currency? If So, Which? · · Score: 1

    It's lower now than march 2014, but it's a hell of a lot higher than march 2011.

    Check the value of the Canadian dollar against the American dollar for the last four years. We've lost around 25%.

  5. That's a reward? on Bitcoin Capitalist Opens Bounty For New Block Cipher · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin capitalist Mircea Popescu has opened a contest to find a new block cipher and is offering a 10 Bitcoin reward for a winning submission.

    Wow, TEN whole Bitcoins for improving how it works? Why not offer 30 million Dogecoins, at least you wouldn't look so cheap.

  6. Re:Trend towards illegibility on Amazon's Thin Helvetica Syndrome: Font Anorexia vs. Kindle Readability (teleread.com) · · Score: 1

    Except that most companies seem to have gone with simple, flat and single-colour icons, making them harder to distinguish from one another. Colour blindness in one form or another is affecting most of the population.

  7. Re:Trend towards illegibility on Amazon's Thin Helvetica Syndrome: Font Anorexia vs. Kindle Readability (teleread.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I'm still hoping it's a stupid trend, like all those ugly flat icons in dull washed-out pastel colours and GUI elements that are invisible but that you're expected to already know that they're there, what they represent and how they work.

    Are you a racist? Why do you have a problem with red-coloured sensors?

  11. Re:Nice on Glowforge Printer Cuts and Etches Patterns Into Almost Any Surface · · Score: 1

    And can we please stop calling everything a fucking "printer"? There's 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC mills. My HP laser printer cannot cut the paper.

    This thing is a laser cutter, not a laser printer.

    I don't read Japanese, I just look at the cartoon drawings of school girls being super-friendly with the tentacle monsters.

  14. Obligatory on Storing Very Large Files On Amazon's Unlimited Cloud Photo Storage · · Score: 2

    Japanese user YDKK has developed a tool to store arbitrary data inside a .bmp file, which can then be uploaded to Amazon's service.

  17. Hulu = U.S.A.-only

  18. Why? on Torrents Time Lets Anyone Launch Their Own Web Version of Popcorn Time · · Score: 3, Informative

    I stopped bothering with torrents years ago. Even the Canadian version of Netflix has more than enough titles to fill my TV-watching time. Sure it's not blockbusters all the time, and we get new titles months if not years after the DVD releases, but it's also really not expensive and I feel like I'm getting excellent value for the low monthly fee.

    As opposed to what, expensive Chinese hardware?

  20. Re:Since when has /. become tech support? on Ask Slashdot: Fixing UVC Camera Issues Under Windows? · · Score: 1

    Well, they work under Windows XP (very old) but don't work under Windows 7 (much newer than XP). So it used to work on a Microsoft product and now it doesn't work anymore. I don't see why he can't blame Microsoft.
