  1. Is any business model sustainable? on Pay What You Want — a Sustainable Business Model? · · Score: 1

    n/t

  2. Re:Linking != publishing on Crookes, RIAA, MPAA, ICE — 'Linking Is Publishing' · · Score: 1

    Did you just publish a deer?

    Oh look, a million dollars!

  3. Re:Red the TOS - Number 21 on WikiLeaks App Removed From Apple Store · · Score: 4, Funny

    Where did you read that the application was collecting donations?
    TFA only mentions that the author donates $1 to wikileaks for every sale.

  4. No right. on Google Declines To Turn Over Harvested Wi-Fi Data · · Score: 1

    The government has no right to access this incorrectly and even illegally collected data. Google has confessed their mistake, now they should delete that data and receive the punishment for their actions. If Google doesn't agree with the verdict, then they can choose to use the data to help their case, and not the other way around (where the Government uses the data to make their case.)

  5. Guess they don't want my money on Single-Player Game Model 'Finished,' Says EA Exec · · Score: 1

    Pretty much all games I play these days are single player. I lost interest in multiplayer games quite some years ago.
    So, some other company will get my money instead of EA.

    The best part of singleplayer games is that the experience doesn't depend on the presence of others.

  6. Re:Democrats loved the Pentagon Papers on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    Not everybody is an USA citizen. WikiLeaks doesn't exist for just the USA citizens.

  7. Oh, no Fallout add-on? on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    Misread the title, I thought it was some cool add-on for Fallout.

  8. Re:In a just world... on Which Shipping Company Is Kindest To Your Packages? · · Score: 1

    And elephants.

  9. "email" has hotmail as top result on Hard-Coded Bias In Google Search Results? · · Score: 4, Informative

    There's a difference between website search result and inline information from other google services.

    The first search result for GOOG yahoo finance, but the first thing shown, before the search results, is google's finance data (as if you were searching via google finance).

    "World map", "map of the usa", "shopping", no top places for google.

    "6*9" gives "54", but no webpage results... OMG HAX

  10. Legalese on Which Language To Learn? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Win or lose, either way you'll earn money.

  11. Re:On the other hand on VLC Developer Takes a Stand Against DRM Enforcement · · Score: 2, Informative

    That's a bit like saying air is the most commonly inhaled gas when people watch pirated content.

    Holy crap, terrorist also depend on air. Therefor pirates must be terrorists.

  12. Virtual money on Is Zynga Trying To Patent Virtual Currency? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    I've been using virtual money ever since I was able to pay for this directly from my back account without the need to convert it to real money first. Of course instead of using a new name and symbol thingy my bank simply used the same name and symbol as the real money, and applied a 1:1 conversion ratio.

  13. Re:Impressing girls on Zuckerberg's Side of 'The Social Network' · · Score: 1

    I think they they meant a different snake, I think it was a trouser snake.
    But you can also fallback to jewelery, perl and ruby spring to mind.
    Otherwise you can try your luck over a hot cup of java.

  14. Re:Wrong answer on Zuckerberg's Side of 'The Social Network' · · Score: 1

    To expand on my own post, building things because you like the build things still isn't an answer to why you decided to build that thing, you could have made some other thing. Why did he decide to "build" facebook, and not youtube, or flickr.

  15. Wrong answer on Zuckerberg's Side of 'The Social Network' · · Score: 1

    Yes, I understand that people build things because they like building things (I'm one of those).
    But the question is why did he, Zuckerberg, create facebooks. Because there is no evidence that shows that he actually built anything, it was all made by others. Sure, he made some drawings on a napkin of something that sort of resembles facebook. But calling that building facebook is just ludicrous.

  16. Re:Open office != MS Office on Why Microsoft Is So Scared of OpenOffice · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'd be shocked if an other product better supported MS' proprietry format than MS' products. Yes, MS Office is better in supporting MS Office macros. But OpenOffice is better in supporting OpenOffice macros.

  17. Re:Konrath Fails to Give Credit Where Credit is Du on The Ease of Publishing an Ebook · · Score: 1

    For all we know the publisher made him a worse writing due to shaping him to the image the publisher set out for him.

    Editing works both ways, and considering we only observe the end result and cannot redo the process to the observe the other possible result the argument that the publisher made him a better writer is moot.

  18. So it must be crap software then on Devs Grapple With 100+ Versions of Android · · Score: 2, Insightful

    TweetDeck for the iPhone crashes way too often (about once a day on averahge), and for that there are only a handful of different versions. So TweetDeck for Android must be real garbage.

  19. Re:I predict more are going to jump ship from Micr on Microsoft Admits OpenOffice.org Is a Contender · · Score: 5, Funny

    Thanks to the Ribbon interface I spend much more time in the Microsoft Office products. It has never been easier to search for the tools that I've been using for over 10 years thanks to the new Ribbon interface. I just keep selecting tabs until I find the thing I was looking for. And it only took me half an hour to figure out what the Office Button was and that it was hiding operations like save as and print preview.

  20. Re:aww... on Of 1.2 Billion Twitter Posts, 71% Are Ignored · · Score: 1

    RT @Culture20 good point #ack

    Otherwise the acknowledgment isn't acknowledged, and thus ignored. Now somebody has to ack me, otherwise ... etc.

  21. vertically interesting content on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    People always say that with widescreen movies you will see more (horizontally).
    But I think that widescreen movies actually show that "we" suck in producing vertically interesting content.

    An other often used excuse that widescreen is better is because people naturally see in widescreen. Which is bullshit. The eyes point in the same direction and are not that far apart. So the active focal area is much more square shaped.

  22. Re:Obvious on Why Are We Losing Vertical Pixels? · · Score: 1

    Where? These things are really hard to find.

  23. Re:Should be targeted at more than iOS on Epic Games Predicts Console, Mobile Convergence · · Score: 1

    Android (on Tegra 2 based systems) is also being targeted by Epic. It just doesn't get as much attention (nor is there a public tech demo). But you can find a bunch of videos on youtube.

  24. Error in their math on Linux May Need a Rewrite Beyond 48 Cores · · Score: 5, Funny

    They have an one-off error in their math, it's actually 9 times a 6 core CPU. So, at 42 cores a rewrite is needed.

  25. Not bribery; just PR stunts. on Game Reviewers Face Odd Bribery From Publishers · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's not (always) bribery, but just a PR stunt. They don't do these things for better review scores, but for media attention.
    Serious, what good is "rancid, rotting meat mixed with spent shell casings, teeth, broken glasses and dog tags" or "brass knuckles"?
    If it's not cash, or some other thing they can cash in then it's not really bribery.
