  1. Re:DRM and Netflix on Free Software Foundation Challenges Tim Berners-Lee On DRM (defectivebydesign.org) · · Score: 1

    Why does Netflix have to play inside a freakin' Web browser?

    You can use Netflix on smartphones, tablets, set-top boxes, various generations of game consoles from all three major companies, via dedicated apps. Netflix has so many players on so many platforms they can't just turn around and say they can't release a player for Windows, macOS and Linux.

    Leela: Didn't you have ads in the 20th century?
    Fry: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games, on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No, sir-ee!
    Bender: Quit squawking, flesh wad. Nobody's forcing you to buy anything.

  6. Re:One word on Ask Slashdot: Why Are There No Huge Leaps Forward In CPU/GPU Power? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem is that each new generation of programmers is lazier than the one before them. All the increased CPU power is wasted on bloated librairies, OS processes, etc.

    That's not true! I don't even use Amazon's systems but I suffered a loss of $150K!
