  1. Communist Party of China and Google have you! You are already automatically enlisted, no further actions are necessary on your part.

    I agree there's a lot of vulgar content to be removed.

    I mean, Futanari is one thing, furry is another, but furry futanari? The line must be drawned here! /Picard

    I think you a word.

  4. The attack started the moment Adobe made the Mac version of Flash a slow pile of crap.

  5. Put back 10% of your winnings into lower-cost ALT coins... just in case.

  6. I don't know about these guys, but I know my Dogecoins still have a trade ratio of 1:1 for other Dogecoins!

    It could also be tablets. If I can buy an Amazon Fire 7 for only 40 Canadian dollars on Prime day, I don't even want to think about the price of tablets in China.

    You keep using quotes. I do not think they work like you think they work.

    Pirating is too expensive for most people because they can't afford the big sailing vessel.

    How about making the keys linked to specific hardware that the game can detect? OS type, OS version, CPU model, system RAM, GPU model, GPU RAM, display model or at least native resolution, etc.

    Much, much harder to resell a key if you need 100% the same computer as the person asking for the key. And since they should be reviewer keys, the game should expire after a X days or after a set date, such as 30~60 days after the launch of the game.

    Or you could just make a limited demo version of your game available to everyone, like in the 1990's, and just bypass this whole "gimme a free key so I can review your game" bullshit.

    Wrong thread.

    Why does "people posting comments in the wrong thread" keep happening?

  14. Re:Review copies on People Keep Trying To Scam Their Way Into Free Video Games (kotaku.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We used to called those things "demo version". Anyone could download them so you didn't need to filter out scammers from legitimate reviewers.

  15. I'm pretty sure the city council decided something that was in their favour, not the city's.

  16. 5mm on Tiny Plastic Is Everywhere (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Scientists call the tiny pieces "microplastics" and define them as objects smaller than 5 millimeters -- about the size of one of the letters on a computer keyboard.

    Those of us living in first-world countries know how long 5mm is, thank you very much.

    Price not important. Only life important.

    And when the thing breaks, you know how to fix it since you made it yourself and understand how it works.

    $5 for a homebrew antenna? That's pure luxury! I make mine from Pringles cans. They were on sale last week at 99 cents per can so I bought 50 of them.

    Man is special -- made in the image of God.

    Judging from most of the people I've met so far in my life, I have to deduce that God is an asshole.

    I've opted for the 'no children' route, personally. What have you done?

    Like many on Slashdot, I've also opted for the "no children" route. Then again, you need a female partner for that so it's not like we opted into anything to begin with.
