    A judge ruled that this practice wasn't extortion, but "hard bargaining". Hilarious.

  6. Re:Relying on user reviews is stupid on TripAdvisor Fined In Italy For Fake Reviews · · Score: 2

    I guess Yelp doesn't even bother ACK'ing TCP connections from Italy then...

    Their whole business model is to write fake bad reviews for companies and make it hard to see any good reviews unless the company "buys some advertising" from them.

    Isn't HGH illegal unless it's prescribed by a doctor for a specific medical condition? This sounds like a [at best] "I paid a doctor a bunch of money to prescribe it for me" situation.

    Why? NK just forgot to reboot their modem.

    It makes a large multinational corporation look bad. Most people don't know that SMB pretty much == Windows == just another Microsoft security problem.

    More like all the dinosaurs decided to commit suicide, so they all jumped into volcanoes at the same time, plugging them up with their bodies. Finally, the pressure got too high and kablam! Massive volcanic eruptions around the Earth.

    It is with BlackBerry. Their cell phones are totally unusable when the keyboard fails. It's a security feature!

  21. Re:Intrinsic motivation vs. Extrinsic motivation on What Happens To Society When Robots Replace Workers? · · Score: 1

    Assumes fact not in evidence. Namely, it requires their basic needs to be met [food, shelter].

  22. Re:Good news, bad news on What Happens To Society When Robots Replace Workers? · · Score: 1

    I believe your first challenge to a life of leisure will be "what will I eat today?" and "where will I sleep tonight?" You seem to think that the rich won't mind paying crazy taxes for welfare payments to hundreds of millions of people. Or if the republicans are in charge, those people instead are homeless and get to go to the food bank and depend on the largess of those same rich people.

    If over a short period of time, the economy switches to a 'virtual' one, you can say goodbye to the US and Europe. The rich will pick some islands to live on, with a suitable paid-for navy to surround it, and just get their money they 'earn' transferred there and let the US and Europe burn down. Which it will because millions will be starving, homeless and without hope for themselves or their families.

  23. Re:Why bother? on Ask Slashdot: Is an Open Source .NET Up To the Job? · · Score: 0

    the constant daily updates of Java to fix security flaws are driving everyone crazy and causing support nightmares.

    And .Net has no updates. Ok, maybe just one or two a year...for new features. It has no security problems.

  24. Sure, it's always been there, but it's gone to a whole new level since the "event".
