  1. Re:Is this comment some kind of a joke? on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: -1, Troll

    That aside, what are you insinuating? That a group widely and routinely chastised as espousing a "liberal" and/or "leftist" agenda by conservatives, opposed the now-cancelled US Reliable Replacement Warhead (RRW) program, and is opposed to nuclear weapons in general, is executing a propaganda campaign to make North Korea look more primitive than it really is when it comes to its rocket programs?

    Yes. Everyone in US is infected with patriotism/nationalism at some extent, and it clouds their judgment. Americans desperately want to present people who hate them as stupid, unrefined, or at least incapable of achieving anything that may challenge Americans' imaginary dominance in all areas of human activity. This "analysis" delivers such reassurance from nothing factual.

    I don't understand

    You have already posted another Microsoft-shilling comment in exactly the same format. Bad astroturfer, no cookie.

  3. Re:What's wrong with Word? on Google Docs Vs. Microsoft Word: an Even Matchup? · · Score: 1

    Google provides a useful document remote editing/distribution service, and article author criticizes it for not also providing all features of a Microsoft product that was made for a completely different purpose, and full of misfeatures that no sane person should use.

  4. More propaganda crap. on What Debris From North Korea's Rocket Launch Shows · · Score: -1

    This "analysis" is pure and undiluted bullshit that makes bold claims of supposedly primitive design based on the use of one particular chemical in a very complex device.

    Calling bullshit on that, too.

    OpenOffice uses the same libraries, and I have never ever seen the problems, unless some moron, such as yourself, forgot to install a font that was used in a document, so it was displayed using the closest fallback. This is software working as intended, and user being stupid.

  6. Re:A Mature Local Machine Product vs Immature Clou on Google Docs Vs. Microsoft Word: an Even Matchup? · · Score: -1

    I tried OpenOffice of several versions, over the years, and all of them were buggy. The latest one, for example, corrupted the watermark in the document.

    Calling bullshit on that.

    And the farmers in a certain area thought it was silly for a man to waste time and money building a castle until he became their lord, prevented them from leaving the land, and forced them to give him grain and coin taxes in exchange for protection from other lords with castles.

    Feudalism does not work that way.

    Anyone pushing cloud and tablets wants to be a digital liege-lord.

    I think, we already went through the fad of everyone trying to be "next Amazon".

  12. Re:They need "UI experts". on Open Source Foundations Coming of Age — What Next? · · Score: 1

    No, the whole models of both are fatally flawed. GNOME 3 breaks all window managers except its own shell -- that kills any customization that is not done within that shell, and their shell sucks. Both Unity and Gnome break easy window switching and screen layout control -- that clearly identifies them as touch-only design, no matter what their authors thought.

  13. They need "UI experts". on Open Source Foundations Coming of Age — What Next? · · Score: 1

    They should all hire some hipster UI company to ruin the remaining desktop environments and UI-heavy software with some moronic tablet-wannabe interface. After all, Windows 8 is selling so well, GNOME3 is welcomed by the users, and Unity did not hurt the popularity of Ubuntu at all!

    Actually it's the opposite, they don't claim to own the photos but they intend to sell (actually license) them as if they do.

  16. Re:Maybe you are wrong on Ask Slashdot: How To Gently Keep Management From Wrecking a Project? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I know it's popular on /. to trash anyone with a business degree as a know nothing douchebag, but sometimes perspective outside of the core engineering effort can pay dividends.

    Managers who can't rise up by replacing ones above themselves, try to rise up by hiring more flunkies under themselves to crack the whip at. This is an equivalent of cancerous growth in organization, and the reason why middle management is often incompetent.

    the verge: "You agree that a business may pay Instagram to display your photos in connection with paid or sponsored content or promotions without any compensation to you."

    That was not the only phrase changed, new ToS also give Instagram/facebook unlimited and transferable lcense to the images instead of the limited one.

    Because the original terms of service were perfectly reasonable.
    It's not a matter of privacy, it's a matter of photos being used against the will of the author, with no payment or way to deny such use.
