  1. Re:he has a point on 3D Cinema Doesn't Work and Never Will · · Score: 1

    Just like black and white movies! Black and white is not what your eyes were made for, or rather, what your brain was made for. If you'd stay in the BW cinema for the rest of your life, your brain would adapt quickly. But adapting to a situation where one moment you're in the black and white and another your in color, that may prove harder

  2. Re:Mid-range? on Nvidia Unveils New Mid-Range GeForce Graphics Card · · Score: 2

    Maybe you should read up on what Moore's Law actually is.

    shitty filipino horror movies.

  4. Re:Who else hasn't read his copy of volume three? on Volume 4A of Knuth's TAOCP Finally In Print · · Score: 1

    Another excellent point. Since he's collecting royalties on all his old books, he has no incentive to write new ones. Maybe that's why it took 28 years and didn't even get it finished. The only way to make sure the next volume is released is to pirate his books.

    He should give his books away for free and make money by selling tshirts.

  6. Re:No real Guidelines on IRS Nails CPA For Copying Steve Jobs, Google Execs · · Score: 1

    Part of Obamacare included a 2.4% medicare taxes on passive income (dividends, interest, some rent, etc) above a certain amount ($250,000?). Who knows when that actually kicks in.

    I volunteer to pay a lower tax rate with no deductions or credits.

    An LLC can be treated as a corporation by filing form 8832 or an S-Corp by filing form 2553.

    1. MPEG-LA (or any other patent holder) only need to disclose if they participate or contribute.
    2. A jury in Texas, not the IETF will decide if there is patent infringement.

  14. Re:Playboy isn't Porn on The iPad Will Get Playboy In March · · Score: 1

    Hugh Hefner is the perfect icon for playboy -- an 84 year old man lying in bed like a dead fish with viagra dick while a dozen $1000 a week whores pretend to enjoy riding his dick for 2 minutes. Also, the floor is covered with dog shit.

    desktop linux usage is around 1%. If that. Windows is 90%. 30% of 90% is a lot more than 100% of 1%.

    everywhere or just slashdot? copy/paste don't work here in safari or chrome, so maybe they're just trying to keep feature parity.

  18. Re:poor title on Wikileaks To Name Swiss Bank Tax Evaders · · Score: 1

    If you can go through the trouble of setting up a swiss bank account, you can go through the trouble of setting up trusts to avoid estate taxes.

  19. flaunt? on Apple iPhone 5 To Flaunt New A8 Processor · · Score: 4, Informative

    flaunt |flônt; flänt|
    verb [ trans. ]
    display (something) ostentatiously, esp. in order to provoke envy or admiration or to show defiance : newly rich consumers eager to flaunt their prosperity. ( flaunt oneself) dress or behave in a sexually provocative way.

    Apple flaunts the UI, not the tech specs (ram, processor, bus speed, etc).

  20. poor title on Wikileaks To Name Swiss Bank Tax Evaders · · Score: 1

    Having a swiss bank account doesn't mean you're a tax evader. They don't report information to the (US) IRS, but neither do many other foreign banks. If you run a business, your revenue isn't automatically reported to the IRS either.

    OS X has a command line. If there's a reason to switch, that's not it.

    Excellent point! For example, It requires Microsoft Windows, so therefore Microsoft Windows is now GPL.

  25. Re:Yes, Machiavellien, quite on Google To Push WebM With IE9, Safari Plugins · · Score: 1

    They also refuse to indemnify you if patent infringement is found. If they seriously believe it is patent free, why not put up a bounty? Paying $10,000 (or whatever) per patent is a lot cheaper than a Texas jury and gives them a chance to fix any offending code before it's an issue.
