  1. Re:Even if this was true... on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 1

    Not native, but you can emulate. While not a cure-all today as ARM becomes more and more powerful the interpretation of instruction sets becomes less of a speed issue.

  2. Re:Even if this was true... on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 0

    Piratebay.

  3. Small market on Is Intel Planning To Kill Enthusiast PCs? · · Score: 1

    If the main part of the market doesn't care, then that is the direction they will go. They are in the business to make money, not cater to a tiny group of people.

  4. Screw them on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 1

    If they want free support and get irate when its explained to that that its how you may your money, they can take a flying leap.

    No great loss if they go elsewhere for their handouts. I'm sure your paying customers will still be around.

  5. Re:So Hilter had the right ... on Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas · · Score: 1

    Yes, he should have. Just as much right as we had to say he was an evil dictator.

  6. Propaganda on Legislators Call On Twitter To Ban Hamas · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Is free-speech the last i heard.

    Twitter can of course take it down on their own as they dont have to adhere to the US Constitution in this matter, but our government should NOT be involved in requesting that a individuals ( or group ) speech to be curtailed.

    Yes, i realize they are not Americans and may not have that right in their home country, but an American governmental agency asking bothers me greatly.

  7. Re:Papa John on Papa John's Sued For Unwanted Pizza-Related Texts · · Score: 1

    Ya damn them for worrying about the bottom line of their company. Contrary to your desire, they are not in the business to be philanthropists. If costs go up due to government regulations it will have ramifications in business. Pretty simple math here.

  8. 250Mil on Papa John's Sued For Unwanted Pizza-Related Texts · · Score: 1

    Will pretty much end the company.

  9. Re:Liability, the law, and you on "Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court · · Score: 1

    Most of what you were taught as a kid was a lie; The law isn't here to protect you, but control you.

    Well, some of us were taught that as kids.. Not all of us grew up in oppressive families.

  10. Re:I don't understand German law but... on "Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court · · Score: 1

    That will be forthcoming. Far easier to hold them liable and force them to control/monitor traffic than the way it was being done ( 3rd party tracking and filing legal notices )

  11. Exit node liability on "Anonymous" File-Sharing Darknet Ruled Illegal By German Court · · Score: 1

    Well, to be honest it sort of makes sense. Its your line, your account, and you chose to do it.

    Not much different than loaning your car to someone you *know* will be transporting drugs or robbing a bank.

    Running an exit node ( when did RetroShare get this anyway? ) is like a waving a huge red flag, 'hey, look at me', and everyone really should stick to remaining internal to the network, so its 'safe'.

  12. Re:And Send, too! on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    In a large company today, its not a case of 'some people feel', but instead is a legitimate problem that does cost time, resources, and productivity.

    The worst part is often times even the IT dept cant manage to properly reply to group emails, its not just the end users.

  13. Re:Can we get rid of long sigs as well? on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    That stuff is banned where i work, but people still do it since there are no repercussions, yet.

  14. Its about time on Companies Getting Rid of Reply-all · · Score: 1

    I have been advocating this for years. Don't remove it as it is needed in some cases, just make people think before they use it.

    I would prefer that people could properly use email, but that isn't going to happen so its 'babysitting' time.

  15. Re:Detection is cheaper on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    And depending on the company, i make them aware that i will be giving my money to their competition.

    I have done the same with sites that *require* flash to function at all.

  16. Re:Google StreetView on A Wi-Fi Wardriving Motorbike — With Plans Available · · Score: 1

    Google is a company and publishing information.. He isn't ( i assume )

  17. Weeks on After Weeks of Trying, UK Cryptographers Fail To Crack WWII Code · · Score: 1

    Should give it some time before one calls it quits.

  18. Legal issue? on Ad Blocking – a Coming Legal Battleground? · · Score: 1

    On what grounds?

    Is it illegal to offer a way to ignore content you dont want? It may piss off the advertisers, but unless they are subsidizing your hardware/software/connection and its part of your TOS, i dont see a legal leg to stand on

  19. Re:Lets test the Doppler shift on DuckDuckGo - Is Google Playing Fair? · · Score: 1

    No, its Altavista's fault.

  20. Who would pay for it? on Could Testing Block Psychopaths From Senior Management? · · Score: 1

    The consumers of course, with higher costs of goods. And workers, with their jobs, who while can perform the job perfectly fine are unfairly black listed due some silly test that doesn't relate to job performance at all..

    if you think 'the insurance company' ( or some other arbitrary disliked group of the day ) is going to pay, you have a lot to learn about economics.

  21. Re:Direct link on Police Raid Home of 9-Year-Old Pirate Bay User, Seize "Winnie the Pooh" Laptop · · Score: 1

    It's the tidbits like this that make me feel warm and fuzzy about copyright and police:

    Its the job of the poilce to enforce the laws, nothing more, nothing less. In this case they were just doing the job that your ( if you are local to the story anyway ) tax dollars are paying them to do. A policy of 'selective enforcement of law' is NOT a path you want to go down.

    Now I dont like the situation anymore than the next guy, but blame the people responsible, the legislature, and not the cop on the street.

  22. "Here we go again" on Samsung Claims iPad Mini, iPad 4, New iPod Touch Also Infringe Patents · · Score: 1

    Again? when did it really end?

    Where will it end? ( most likely when you cant even pee without being sued and all commerce comes to a grinding halt. )

  23. "Cloaking" on Cloaking Technology Could Protect Offshore Rigs From Destructive Waves · · Score: 1

    The soon to be over used buzz word of 2013..

  24. Media manipulation on Australian Govt Pledges Action On Google Tax Evasion · · Score: 1

    Just like with other things, they use 'bad terms' to represent 'legal actions' to manipulate the public's opinion against the companies/people.

    And since people in general are stupid, it tends to work every time.

  25. Re:Obvious --- craftsmen have always done this on Form1 3D Printer and Kickstarter Get Sued For Patent Infringment · · Score: 1

    It may be obvious to you and i, but we dont matter. Who does matter is who reviews the patent application. If it doesn't appear obvious to him and its awarded, we can look forward to decades of take down notices ( mostly notices as what small project can afford to fight? )
