  2. Re:What about gold mining in WoW? on Bitcoin To Be Regulated Under US Money Laundering Laws · · Score: 1

    People exchange cash for the virtual currency

    For money laundering to work you should also be able to exchange virtual currency to cash. People are not exchanging money in WoW. They are paying for services and products.

  3. Re:Inexplicable pricing. on Adobe To Australians: Fly To US For Cheaper Software · · Score: 1

    It's understandable in Europe where they've got 20% VAT

    Check Adobe prices for EU and USA again. VAT has nothing to do with 1 US for 1.2 EUR exchange rate.

  4. Re:Microwave mea culpa on Where Have All the Gadgets Gone? · · Score: 1

    you stopped playing games on console -2, disappointed with gadgets for your dog -1, consolidated your phones and decided that less PCs is enough.

    They also call them Albert and Laika. Whoever modded parent as insightful should be bombed first.

  8. Re:Multi-Media on the Web is FUCKED on Microsoft Going Its Own Way On Audio/Video Specification · · Score: 1

    The hype of HTML5 has been years coming, with Steve Jobs and legions of techies on slashdot and other sites calling for the death of Flash.

    He is dead, Jim.

  9. Re:what about germany? on No Spitfires In Burma After All · · Score: 1

    You heard about the war, but you haven't heard about combat range of Spits.

  10. Re:He knows something you don't. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    So how does writing bad code make him irreplaceable? He writes code that nobody understands.

    Nobody except him. OP never said that this coder can't read own code.

  11. Re:He knows something you don't. on Ask Slashdot: How Can I Explain To a Coworker That He Writes Bad Code? · · Score: 1

    Who else can maintain that cluster fsck?

    So guy is working hard to make sure that he is irreplaceable. It could give him more years on paycheck, but eventually business will put business continuity on higher priority.

  12. Re:Receiving 2.1 trillion roubles on Russian Space Industry To Receive $69 Billion Through 2020 · · Score: 1

    A lot of money in any case.

    Lets put it in perspective. 10 billion a year. Lots of money to burn on rockets.

    Or 1/10 of Russia's military budget for the same time period. two times less than promised increase in military expenditures. less than 3% of federal budget for 2011.

    Given than budget is funded by exports of natural resources, I would say that they expect slight increase in oil/gas prices and bigger profit margins.

    Space travel is fascinating, but it causes less worries for politics than health care, social policies or military.

  13. Re:Intel? on Ask Slashdot: Linux-Friendly Motherboard Manufacturers? · · Score: 1

    In other words: Just search Google.

    That's a very dangerous suggestion. If user accidentally uses google as search engine and searches for google, Internet will explode.

  14. Re:I'm .. I'm stunned! on Outrage At Microsoft Offshoring Tax In the UK, Google Caught Avoiding US Taxes · · Score: 1

    That's a common fallacy. There is no US statute, state or federal, that requires "maximising shareholder value"

    You can call it a myth. If CEO does not use tax havens, he or she will be outvoted in next shareholders meeting in favor of CEO who does it. It is not in US statute. It is only corporate version of Darwin laws.

  15. Re:I've no idea who he is. on Sir Patrick Moore Dies Aged 89 · · Score: 1

    Therefore he's not important.

    He is more important than you. AC never had his/her obituary posted on slashdot.

  16. Re:U.S.A. on The Countries Most Vulnerable To an Internet Shutdown · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine what a catastrophe it would be for the general population if they were all suddenly unable to Tweet about what they read on Facebook?

    Last time some politic decided to cut off internet, masses went to streets and smashed authoritarian government to smithereens. We can only hope that it will happen to US too some day.

  17. Re:Based on the summary... on The New Series of Doctor Who: Fleeing From Format? · · Score: 1

    The classic doctors were better.

    You will always love your first doctor.

    That's closer to the real situation. some people like old ones. some like 10th or 11th doctor.

  18. Hackers on The Cyber Threat To the Global Oil Supply · · Score: 1

    Hackers pose serious threat to oil business. One computer virus and tanker flips over. Looks like somebody checked his or her video library and decided to sell same story to the press.

  19. New Zealand is a good place on Mega Finds New Home, Dotcom Says · · Score: 3, Funny

    New Zealand is a good place to start new business after your business is destroyed by your arrest which occurred on some Pacific country. Could you remind me in which country you were arrested, Kim?

  20. Re:This is actually cool... on Kim Dotcom's Next Venture: Free Broadband To New Zealand · · Score: 1

    he still just doesn't get any support from the general public

    He will get support, when NZ government pays for fiber in lawsuit about breaking civil rights

  22. Re:In the mean time, we are moving to drones on China's Stealth Fighter Flight Test Successful · · Score: 1

    In addition, the DOD really needs to spend money on thorium reactors

    In addition US military budget should exceed budgets on other 154 countries combined. Having 41% of all military spendings is not enough.

  23. Re:It's just for the show on China's Stealth Fighter Flight Test Successful · · Score: 2

    I found that the engines are probably those that were used in MIG-29.

    MIGs use Klimov RD-33s. Chinese J-17s and J-31 use Klimov RD-93. Different modification of a same engine. They used engine which was already verified and used live in other Chinese fighter plane. Chinese don't have MIG-29s.
