  1. Re:Wasn't Java open sourced? on US Justice Department Urges Supreme Court Not To Take Up Google v. Oracle · · Score: 1

    Didn't Google take parts Apache Harmony as base?

  2. Slashdot articles on Slashdot Asks: What Will You (Or Your Kids) Learn This Summer? · · Score: 0

    I'm going to learn writing Slashdot articles. How hard can it be.

  3. Time on Ask Slashdot: What Makes Some Code Particularly Good? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    After 5 years you can still read it and understand what it was supposed to accomplish, and it does so.

  4. JavaScript framework du jour on Google's Angular 2 Being Built With Microsoft's TypeScript · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Don't waste time learning this framework. In a month there's a newer and even better framework which will only be supported for a few months before everybody bails to yet another framework.

  5. Re:Freon? You gotta be kidding: on Google Introduces Freon, a Replacement For X11 On Chrome OS · · Score: 2

    I guess Google needs to put this project back in the fridge and think about it a bit more.

  6. Re:Latest update on GPG Programmer Werner Koch Is Running Out of Money · · Score: 1

    Additional update (from the article):

    Meanwhile, since our story was posted, donations flooded Werner's website donation page and he reached his funding goal of $137,000. In addition, Facebook and the online payment processor Stripe each pledged to donate $50,000 a year to Koch’s project

  7. Re:Evil corporation cage match! on Google Releases More Windows Bugs · · Score: 1

    Microsoft actually sells stuff that you can buy and use without agreeing to allow your data to be mined.

    For now. For example, Microsoft no longer sells a non-service version of MS Office.

  8. Re:owners of older machines, behold... on Firefox 35 Arrives With MP4 Playback On Mac, Android Download Manager Support · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's still less memory hungry than Chrome.

  9. Not really an 0day exploit on Lizard Squad Targets Tor · · Score: 5, Informative

    Either way, @LizardMafia's Tor relay attack isn't new. There's a paper on how Tor loses anonymity if over 50% of relays are compromised.

    https://twitter.com/kaepora/st...

    I was going to go with botnet, but many LizardNSA relay IPs appear to route back to Google Cloud. Thousands of tiny VMs at low bandwidth?

    You can see this whole list of tor nodes here: https://torstatus.blutmagie.de...
    All Lizard nodes resolve to *.bc.googleusercontent.com

  10. No on No More Foamy Beer, Thanks To Magnets · · Score: 1, Informative

    If you get too much foam, maybe you should clean tour glass and improve your skills in pouring a beer.

  11. Re:Patents on Bellard Creates New Image Format To Replace JPEG · · Score: 3, Interesting

    From Wikipedia

    On September 29, 2014, MPEG LA announced their HEVC license which covers the essential patents from 23 companies.[24] The license is US$0.20 per HEVC product after the first 100,000 units each year with an annual cap.

  12. Re:Are there any good alternatives? on Swedish Police Raid the Pirate Bay Again · · Score: 4, Interesting

    iTunes does not work on my 10 month old Panasonic "Smart" TV, or Linux based HTPC, or Sony PS3. Amazon only recently started selling ebooks here, nothing else. Netflix is great though, now if they can finally convince content providers to license them more content.
    So what are these alternatives?

  13. Re:Good luck with that EU on The EU Has a Plan To Break Up Google · · Score: 1

    The EU sees a big rich american company doing business in the EU and they're not paying EU taxes.

    On the plus side, those companies are not paying taxes in the US either.

  14. Re:Did anyone think it wouldn't work this way ? on Pianist Asks Washington Post To Remove Review Under "Right To Be Forgotten" · · Score: 3, Informative

    A lot of people with similar histories have asked Google the same thing, and have been denied.

    http://www.google.com/transpar...

    We received multiple requests from a single individual who asked us to remove 20 links to recent articles about his arrest for financial crimes committed in a professional capacity. We did not remove the pages from search results.

    An individual asked us to remove links to articles on the internet that reference his dismissal for sexual crimes committed on the job. We did not remove the pages from search results.

    What happens if they don't follow the rules? Will they serve prison time?

  16. Looks like free software is working on Confidence Shaken In Open Source Security Idealism · · Score: 1

    Somebody saw something weird, looked at the code analyzed the logic, found the bug, reported it, and it was fixed.

    Nobody said those thousand eyes would find bugs instantly.

  17. Re:OS Decay is largekly a myth. on Will Windows 10 Finally Address OS Decay? · · Score: 0

    WinSxS

  18. Wolvereness violated copyrights wants it "undone"? on DMCA Claim Over GPL Non-Compliance Shuts Off Minecraft Plug-Ins · · Score: 1

    So Wolvereness contributed to violation of Mojang's copyright and now wants his contribution to this violation removed from the internet?
    Or am I reading this incorrectly? The DMCA notice is for CraftBukkit, but he links to the license of Bukkit which are different projects (I think).

  19. Re:I have a true question. on Switching Game Engines Halfway Through Development · · Score: 1

    UnrealEngine gives you complete source access. You can do whatever you want to the engine. If you want to spend a lot of time on access to the raw data at the lowest level instead of game design, then you can do so.

  20. Re:Slippery Slope on On Forgetting the Facts: Questions From the EU For Google, Other Search Engines · · Score: 1

    But no information is being removed, just the search results to that information are removed.

  21. Re:Why? on New SSL Server Rules Go Into Effect Nov. 1 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because of money.

  22. Glory to Arstotzka

  23. Re:Really people? on Google To Stop Describing Games With In-App Purchases As 'Free' · · Score: 1

    Irrelevant, and bullshit.

    Bullshit, because it is free as in speech. Maybe not gratis as in beer.
    Irrelevant, because if a donor makes it gratis for everybody it is still gratis.

  24. Re:What whas the problem in the first place? on TrueCrypt Author Claims That Forking Is Impossible · · Score: 1

    Not secure in what context? Not secure to stop the NSA? Not secure to stop the average hacker? Not secure to prevent company property from being exposed to the public when a laptop is lost?
