  1. Question: on Prime Time Freeware Manual: the Dossier Series · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Do you think that Slashdot-run book reviews are worth reading in the first place?

    In my experience, no.

  2. BFD on 5th Anniversary of Open Source · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I bet something else inconsequential happened five years ago too. Maybe even three or four other totally useless events.

    Come on, who cares when the label was "officially" coined? Six years ago I was using OSS, even though it wasn't "official" yet.

  4. Re:The reason for the Delay is medical. on Athlon 64 Pushed Back to September · · Score: 1

    Both Alan Cox and Linus Torvalds are uncircumcised due to socialized medicine's cost controls. That is why they should relinquish control to Stallman, who is properly cut, and therefore able to concentrate on the Linux kernel do to having a clean penis.

    Typical Zionist propaganda. What a surprise that a son of the "Poor us, we wandered around the desert for a few years once and got killed by Zyklon this other time" race is at the forefront of the software-stealing fanatic community, a man universally recognized in the software community as self-centered and unpossessing of the most rudimentary ethics of intellectual property. Anyone who has walked within sixteen cubits of Mr. Stallberg could tell you that there simply isn't a chance, de-foreskinned or not, that his penis could be clean.

    Yet fine Norseman Linus Torvalds and robust Briton Alan Cox, with cock uncut and nose unhooked, intimidate you.

    Why do you think that is?

    Circumcision should be recommended in every country, look how simple it is in this video. Hopefully everyone will choose this procedure, and maybe we can have a charity drive to raise money for Linus' and Alan's circumcision.

    A full set of sex organs certainly doesn't seem to impair Linus or Alan from their kernel duties or personal lives; the Linux kernel is stable and strong, Linus is happily married with children, and although Cox doesn't talk about his personal life online, it is an open secret in the software community that he is a practicing homosexual. RMS, conversely, has no sexual prospects and has the GNU Hurd project to lay claim to (along with its record of 15 straight years in development without producing a working kernel).

    I think your personal stake in Jewry has clouded your judgement.

  5. Translation: AI is Nowheresville on Infinite Games? · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Computer scientists drooled like curs at true AI twenty or thirty years ago, but that was before people had run out of ideas pertaining to AI. Today the only problems AI can solve are uninteresting ones.

    In the case of a game, I'd call it "automatic choosing of next state" rather than any form of "intelligence".

    Because if your $100 sink gives way, you can have $50000+ of water damage to contend with.... whereas on a computer the stakes are usually much lower.

    Oh really? So if the database for the payroll department gets trashed, thats low stakes, huh? I think this discussion was pointed toward IT professionals, which you are obviously not.

    I said "usually" you braindead fucking choad. I am also an IT professional, and I'll bet you $100 that I am smarter than you in both Verbal and Math areas. And while I'm in ad hominem territory, I will also bet that you are ugly and unloved.

  13. Re:Let me be the first to rush to his defense on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 2

    Deflection of blame and its subsequent justification by any/all onlookers is one thing about the present mode of thought that I could really do without.

    If you do something for a while and it's not fun anymore, you stop. Unless you're an addict, in which case you continue on your path of compulsive behavior with renewed dedication.

    Gamers don't have trouble leaving games behind when they're done with them. Addicts do. And saying "Damn you Sony, you should have filled my 21-online-hours-per-day months-long bender with more FUN!" is weak.

  14. Let me cast the first stone. on EverQuest: What You Really Get From an Online Game · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Gaming addiction is not a behavior of gamers... it's a behavior of addicts. The games just happen to be there for the addict's mind to latch onto.

    Blaming particular games (particularly in a manner which reeks of personal bitterness) for addictions is like blaming alcohol for alcoholism, or blaming heroin for junkies: it's a foil. The real ones to blame are the ones who are addicted.

  19. Re:I am an artist, and you WILL pay me. on Danish Anti-Piracy Organization Bills P2P Users · · Score: 3, Insightful
    You're not a real recording artist. I am.

    Know how I sniffed you out?

    I'm sorry, but the only reason I even bothered signing with a label was to SELL MY STUFF. Make money, that's all.

    There are *SO* many reasons to sign to a label!
    • they sell your shit (which you mentioned)
    • they distribute your shit
    • they promote your shit
    • they book your shit
    • they speak "on your behalf" in these kinda situations
    • etc.

    I mean, don't get me wrong. Even with all these advantages there are significant disadvantages:
    • you must sell or you are dropped
    • you get a fraction of what you'd make on an indie
    • you often end up owing the label money
    • occasional legal nightmares
    • etc.

    No actual recording artist these days is naive enough to think that labels are solely useful for printing and sales.

  24. you must admit on Secure PDAs · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If microsoft did "biometric user identification", we'd be screaming bloody 1984. Instead, it's linux-based. Neat-o.

    There's plenty of automatic-MS-bashing that goes on here, and plenty of automatic-MS-bashing-bashing. But if you look at the facts and stick to the numbers, it's not very farfetched to assume Microsoft is always trying to screw us somehow.

    Look at Palladium, with which they will entrench DRM on every desktop. Look at Word's closed and obfuscated binary file format. Look at all their OEM tricks, and EULA abuse, their fake Switch ads and their systematic abuse of power.

    Their strategy (whose final step is most assuredly "PROFIT !!") has been to fuck consumers and users as much as they can get away with and rob their pockets of change. Next to a Finnish hobbyist's OS, they look pretty bad.

  25. agreed on Mozilla: The Good And The Bad · · Score: 2
