  1. Re:The price of "freedom" on Navy, Marines Prohibit Sharing Nude Photos In Wake of a Facebook Scandal (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I believe that things were just as complicated then, the only difference was that people hid them better. People always get turned on by sick shit, and will always look for the law's blindspots.

  2. Re:PLEASE RELEASE THE SOURCE CODE! on StarCraft Is Now Free, Nearly 20 Years After Its Release (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    OpenRA managed make C&C competitive, I really recommend that you take a look.

  3. No it is not. If anyone else has the data, google will copy them too. If no one else has them, google becomes the best reference.

  4. Re:Dark City on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    A bad end, organizing a resistance movement, a stalemate. These are three options of the top of my head.

  5. Re: Golden age of remakes maybe on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    In some of the outside scenes i remember that rocks were falling very slowly, that made me sure that they are on the moon. I do like your premise as well, I wonder why someone would do that though, except for "to experiment".

  6. Re:Old School : Darkstar on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    Liked it a lot, forgot about it until you mentioned it, good choice.

  7. Re: Golden age of remakes maybe on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 2

    Why do you think moon is overrated? I barely heard about it, and really enjoyed it when I watched it. (I can understand and agree regarding the rest).

  8. Re:Dark City on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

    I really hated the ending, it felt like they ran out of ideas and just decided to go for a huge battle.

  9. "The Host" or "Moon" on Slashdot Asks: What's Your Favorite Sci-Fi Movie? · · Score: 1

  10. This is capitalism on FDA Slams St. Jude Medical For Ignoring Security Flaws In Medical Devices (securityledger.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When there is no regulation, companies will always have the incentive to make as much as money as possible while doing as little work as possible. There has to be a stick, not only a carrot.

  11. Because free market a lie, it is not about what the consumer wants, it is about what the corporate overlords force him to want, either via education or via threatening.

  12. Re:ESR is still alive? on Eric S. Raymond Unveils New List Of 'Hacker Archetypes' (ibiblio.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering we have celebs like Milo-something and gangam guy, I think that becoming famous is not about what you did but how loud and presentable you are.

  13. Re:Doesn't matter.... on Ransomware Asks For High Score Instead of Money (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Actually, I agree that they are not completely equivalent. Guns kill much more people than ransomware.

  14. Re:The SJWs have started eating their own. on Google Accused of 'Extreme' Gender Pay Discrimination By US Labor Department (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It makes me happy too, but for a very different reason than yours. It means that these people actually stand for their principles and are willing to criticize each other when they violate them. Where I live we have feminists defending rapists when they are their best friends and parliament members talking against violating the Shabbat while they drive their own car in it. I don't like SJWs much as well, but I'd rather have them over corruption and hypocracy.

  15. Re:Doesn't matter.... on Ransomware Asks For High Score Instead of Money (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you also think that if someone designs a new gun he should be in jail? If not I would be glad to know why this is different.

  16. Re:The invisibles on Slashdot Asks: What Books Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    I meant comic as in panels and speech bubbles.

  17. The invisibles on Slashdot Asks: What Books Are You Reading This Month? · · Score: 1

    So far it feels like a comic version of "illuminatus"

  18. Re:Cruel to be Kind on Facebook To Use Photo-Matching To Block Repeat 'Revenge Porn' (aol.com) · · Score: 1

    I think that it's better to just act like a whore and not be embrassed by it, at least that's what works for me (cue the "lier, slashdotters are always virgins" replies).

  19. Dude, this is like totally radical

  20. It's more than just scripting code. We can also use emulators to run code of old games WITHOUT having to worry about it somehow downloading things from the internet. The problem is that code in docs is allowed to do way too much.

  21. Text documents should not be executed, that's my point.

  22. I think that it's insane that they have to know it. We are not afraid of opening .txt files, why should something more structured be that different?

  23. Re:What can Berners-Lee do here, really? on FSF Activists Want You To Call Tim Berners-Lee About DRM (boingboing.net) · · Score: 0

    It's funny that you start by explaining how his atitude doesn't matter and then you conclude by saying "if it's the case your life has never been worth anything". You are actually stating a tautology here, since you began your comment by saying that his action (and thus his life) do not matter.

    Somebody mod this up please

  25. Re:Well, duh - it is on Someone on Medium Just Said C++ Was Better Than C (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    gcc added something called "cleanup attribute" which is essentially destructors in C++. That replaces "goto" in the case you described. I really hope they will put it in the standard at some point.
