  1. I'm actually ok with this on DC Comics Prevails In Batmobile Copyright Dispute · · Score: 1

    I just Hollywood looks at Star Trek and the pads they were using , and knock on Apples door for a few billion dollars.

  2. Re:Not on the disc on Anger With Game Content Lock Spurs Reaction From Studio Head Curt Shilling · · Score: 1

    Where's all the internet vitriol for Steam?

    I can sell the games when I am done with them on Steam. It's not as if you can't get a new login and password.

  3. Re:exponential version growth on 5th Edition of Dungeons & Dragons Announced · · Score: 1

    1974 - First edition
    1989 - Second edition
    2000 - Third edition
    2008 - Forth edition
    2012 - Fifth edition

    Great - soon they'll be up to Mozilla speed and releasing a new edition every other day....

  4. Re:And? on Microsoft Can Remotely Kill Purchased Apps · · Score: -1

    Apple has never remotely killed an app. Google and Amazon have. Apple has removed apps from their store, but that's not the same thing.

    That's incorrect.

    Not only was the app been remotely killed, the developer has been banned from the app store as well as having his app removed from the apple application store.

    It was even featured on /. . It was when an application developer let Apple know about a security hole he managed to find and utilize.

  5. Great on Ask Slashdot: Is Your Data Safe In the Cloud? · · Score: 2

    So even tho I get to check the box that disables advertising, I have to see advertising?

    Can /. at least put all the ads (like the sourceforge logo) in the same folder so I can just add an * to adblock?

  6. Re:Doesn't really tell the full story... on Worldwide Support For Nuclear Power Drops · · Score: 1

    well, if you get to add nuclear bombing - we need to add drowning in the hydro to the equation, which makes it far deadlier than nuclear power.

  7. Re:Whew! on Valve Announces Massive Steam Server Intrusion · · Score: 1

    I got the joke, and realized at the same time the joke was on us.

    Getting an email a week ago would of allowed me to actually start changing passwords before there was a chance of financial loss.

    A post on a forum that I seldom visit means jack shit to me when an email saying "you might have problems" would be a better heads up. Maybe even letting me know when I go into steam to play my games would of been cool.

    If it hadn't been for slashdot, I'd still be exposed to credit fraud.

  8. Re:Whew! on Valve Announces Massive Steam Server Intrusion · · Score: 1

    I would of liked to have an email instead of finding out a week later on Slashdot.

  9. Re:Well, that changes the question. on SSL Certificate Authorities vs. Convergence, Perspectives · · Score: 1

    Uh, no - I'm not a consultant. We are a business that provides automation software to those people to allow them to do the jobs they need to do while working for their parent company.

    See. you are using a cookie cutter approach to rip on Microsoft. The problem there is your assumptions are incorrect.

  10. Re:Easy. You provide three independent notaries. on SSL Certificate Authorities vs. Convergence, Perspectives · · Score: 1

    It's not possible to force them to do that. They're required by their company to be on Microsoft Internet Explorer.

  11. Re:A reputation system? on SSL Certificate Authorities vs. Convergence, Perspectives · · Score: 1

    Really?

    So, in essence you're saying when the thug shows up at the front door and offers protection, we have to pay up front or get our business trashed?

  12. A reputation system? on SSL Certificate Authorities vs. Convergence, Perspectives · · Score: 5, Interesting

    What happens when you are a software company that will have at best 1000 clients?

    That's the issue I am facing right now with Norton and SONAR. I started deploying with Clickonce since i needed to add SQLCE to our customers machines. Now SONAR pops up and deletes our software randomly. If you look at the logs, Norton actually says "YOU CHOSE TO DELETE THIS".

    That's just an Antivirus company. How in the hell can I expect to be able to deliver product and keep it updated if I'll never have enough customers to "Trust" our software and build a reputation?

    We cater to a pool of clients that will never go above 1100 customers. Does this mean that in addition to AV troubles, we will never get trusted because we cannot possibly get enough people to make the numbers to BE trusted?

  13. Great Idea! on Legal Tender? Maybe Not, Says Louisiana Law · · Score: 1

    Let's extend the law to force politicians to never be allowed to use cash, must use a card, and any possessions that can't be traced back to the usage of the card given to the poor in their state.

    That will stop bribery in its tracks!

  14. ok? on A Few Million Monkeys Finish Recreating Shakespeare's Works · · Score: 1

    So, if this is a real test and success - then the filter can be reconfigured for chunks of lines from Star Wars - or the writings of jim butcher and those books should be there too right?

  15. Re:Her Defense Was Pretty Good Too on Phelps Clan Tweets Intent To Picket Jobs Funeral Via iPhone · · Score: 1

    I also ride with the Patriot Guard http://www.patriotguard.org/ to help shield families of our fallen heros from these despicable people of this so-called church.

    Rock on! PG rider here too.

  16. pc death on Can Newegg Survive the Post-PC Future? · · Score: 1

    Until tablets have 24 inch or larger screens, 5.1 dolby, and support for my older games i'll be purchasing pc's i can build.

  17. Re:... walks into a bar. on Faster-Than-Light Particle Results To Be Re-Tested · · Score: 1

    If we remodulate the bar's defensive screen, we can cause an inverse polaron wave to inhibit nuetrino flux - and still retain its wallet.

  18. Re:RTFA - free games on Steam Translation Community Slaving Away · · Score: 1

    That's up to the translators and Steam. My point was/is Steam does give away free games.Something the ranting author is obviously unaware of.

  19. Re:RTFA - free games on Steam Translation Community Slaving Away · · Score: 1

    Yes, thank you - that is exactly what I meant.

  20. RTFA - free games on Steam Translation Community Slaving Away · · Score: 1

    Steam does give free games away, I got Portal for free when they offered it for free for everyone.

  21. Re:Nothing New on TOSAmend Automates Counteroffer Terms For Service Agreements · · Score: 1

    Receipts from alcohol purchases..

  22. Re:Nothing New on TOSAmend Automates Counteroffer Terms For Service Agreements · · Score: 2

    Also, don't you have to be sober when you agree to a contract for it to be binding?

    I can easily demonstrate that fully 9/10's of all TOS's I clicked thru would be invalid if that's so.

  23. Don't let them kill it on Android Tricorder Killed By CBS · · Score: 1

    I don't have an android yet - and I certainly do not support CBS.

    Will we still get 5.00 shipping????

  25. Re:Genius. on Right-Wing German Extremists Tricked By Trojan Shirts · · Score: 0

    I doubt there was any reaction face.

    If I showed up to a pro-obama fanfest and got a t-shirt for free that washed out and advertised for gay something, i'd just use the free t-shirt to wipe my ass. Which wouldn't of changed the use of the shirt in any way, shape or form from the original logo.
