Are you sure the same people are saying both views that you hear? Did you check their User Infos or something? This could just be another instance of the "Everyone on Slashdot must think alike" fallacy. The two views you mention, I believe, are more likely to be held by different Slashdotters.
At least you didn't use the word "hypocrisy" and misspell it.
You're affirming my point. The point values of pieces in chess are totally arbitrary and, though they help in strategy, are not related to the outcome of the game.
Thus, the points have no place in game theory. All that counts is who wins. If you're playing a lot of games, you don't keep track of who won by more pieces, just who won more often. So, an effective way of representing the outcome in game theory (and in tournaments) is +1 for a win, 0 for a loss, and +1/2 for a tie. -- Obfuscated e-mail addresses won't stop sadistic 12-year-old ACs.
In the games of Mao I've played, it's made clear that going out of cards is not "winning", it just lets you add a rule. You "win" when you understand the game well enough to introduce it to other people.
But it is what zero sum means with regard to chess. If you sacrifice a queen to make a checkmate, you haven't lost, you've won. All that matters is that in the end, one of the players has one point, or they both have a half-point.

That's a blatant oversimplification. If there were no tobacco companies, it would either be an anomalous violation of supply and demand, or it would be because smoking was illegal. In that case, a good number of people would be dying from black-market tobacco, or perhaps from other, more dangerous substances sold as tobacco.

That frequency is not feasible. The article about "The Last Computer" put the maximum possible clock speed of a computer (according to the currently known laws of physics) at some number of THz.
But that won't stop the chip manufacturers from trying of course.
January 15, 2028 - Intel announces their new 400THz processor, which performs 100 billion floating-point operations in the millisecond before it consumes itself in a nuclear explosion. This is a step up from AMD's recent processor which simply fries any nearby user with bolts of plasma energy.

This isn't exactly true. I use a PayPal account so that users of my MUX can contribute to the cost of hosting it. They send me money with PayPal, and I pay the hosting service out of the PayPal account. I've never had to register a credit card or bank account. Sure, it means I won't be able to turn PayPal money into "real" money, but I have no need to do that. -- Obfuscated e-mail addresses won't stop sadistic 12-year-old ACs.
