  1. Re:Rebranding on IBM Takes System/z To the Cloud With COBOL Update · · Score: 1

    Don't you mean CloudFlxr, or pyUrFramely?

  2. Re:Not really a leak on Wikileaks Releases Docs Before Trial of TPB Founder Warg · · Score: 1

    "Public documents? At a low cost!? Guffaw! Let them eat Kickstarter!"

  3. Re:Machine shop, anyone? on Of 1000 Americans Polled, Most Would Ban Home Printing of Guns · · Score: 1

    People say GIMP is not even in the same league as Photoshop. This proves it.

  4. Re:Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth... on Nintendo Hijacks Ad Revenue From Fan-Created YouTube Playthroughs · · Score: 1

    "most of which" indeed. Content-ID is not always accurate (and happily errs in the "content" "owner"'s favor--feel free to Google, or YouTube, that problem). Nintendo can use false matches to destroy people that make original videos without Nintendo images, sounds, etc., by funneling the revenue to them.

    Also, "corporate gibberish"? It's three simple sentences that are logically connected to each other.

    I'll admit they look English. They're marketer doublespeak, but they do look like grammatically correct English.

    At best, all this "on-going push" will "ensure" is that people are chilled at the thought of uploading something with a sound or footage that will trip Content-ID and *wham* no revenue. They also haven't said how permanently they "have chosen not to block people using our intellectual property", so people who have uploaded videos, safe in the knowledge that they've "only" been Content-ID'd and neutered by Nintendo, could be awash in copyright strikes one or two golden-parachuted CEOs later.

    Of course, it's not only the fault of the fine folks who brought us 10NES and awful Wii-to-Wii U data transfers; YouTube needs to be taken to task (or at least avoided) for making the chilling Content-ID system.

  5. Re:Google is no better... on Sorry, Larry Page: Tech-Industry Viciousness Is Here To Stay · · Score: 3, Informative

    Besides, Page is the same guy that got into a "shouting match" with Brin (I'll let Slashdot find the WSJ link this time, I've linked it enough) because Brin was getting in the way of sharing personal user info for money.

    He's given the viciousness, and now he can go take it like the karma-challenged man he is.

  6. Re:Another job is lost. on Robotic Bartender Assembles Your Drink, Monitors Alcohol Consumption · · Score: 0

    Said ex-bartender is later found in his home, slumped in front of a computer with Vega Strike in fullscreen, dead of an apparent suicide. Hillary Clinton blames the game for driving him melancholy, and promises to ban all such games with robot bartenders. Rand Paul calls it "yet another scary example of government overreach", while Mike Bloomberg calls for his own ban on illegal capship turrets and milspec vessels ("You don't need a Goddard to fly to the bodega," he pleadingly says).

  9. Re:They don't know what I like on Inside One of the World's Largest Data Brokers · · Score: 1

    ... mobs are mindless crowds of people refusing to take responsibility for their individual actions.

    That explains all that Acxiom does, come to think of it. (Well, except the "mindless" part; they clearly know what damage they do.)

  10. Re:Based on TOR on The New Yorker Launches 'Strongbox' For Secure Anonymous Leaks · · Score: 1

    I have the impression that humanity is probably compromised by an assortment of constitution trampling three letter agencies, I just don't get why it keeps getting pushed as some shining beacon of goodness. I have to assume that 1/3 of the people are the feds fishing, 1/3 are criminals fishing and 1/3 are privacy advocates who somehow don't seem to know about the other 2/3.

    Please educate me if I am wrong.

    What is a Firefox? A miserable little pile of sources.

    Any group that gives YouTube, Facebook, and their friends an excuse for real name harassment is a bad thing.

    Wonder if Demand Media is regretting that purchase now?

    Why would they? They can just "Due to the unfortunate circumstances of a continuing bad economy, we have had to shutdown name.com. Sorry for the inconvenience, lol." and done. Their hands are wiped clean, the low-level IT workers are Romney'd in one fell swoop, the fat cats still get cash from their bulk-writing SEO scheme, and they can just buy up whoever else decides to take over whatever domain( name)?s they managed.

    It's a programming API. This obviously means that RIM will let people make assemblers, compilers, and interpreters that compete with the likes of C, Objective-C, Python, and Scratch. ;)

    People like Smith revel in their evil, and promote ignorance and inequality with full intent. "Incredible density" would be an improvement for them.

  24. Because twitter. on Syrian Electronic Army Hijacks Guardian Twitter Feeds · · Score: 1

    Hacking a twitter account seems to present all the difficulty of cutting a silk gown with a chainsaw, or shoving a battering ram through a spider web. As an added bonus, their little "Verified" badge makes people who read the pretenders' tweets think they are that much more accurate all the while.

    Something is clearly very wrong with security there; I guess we will MySQL never know.
