  1. Re:All they need to do... on Wealth Therapy Tackles Woes of the Rich · · Score: 1

    It's not that easy. Most people worry about money constantly, and as a result, talk about money constantly. It's tough to have enough and to sit and listen to friends gripe about this or that money related thing. It's part of the same problem. Pretending not to be wealthy doesn't help.

  2. "Slow page turns"?? on Is Amazon Harming the E-reader Category? (teleread.com) · · Score: 0

    That sounds like a medical problem. You should see a medical doctor (Not an "e-doctor") about that. If you can't move a piece of paper with you finger at the speed you desire, you probably have a serious medical condition. Don't buy more stupid shit from the Internet. SEE A MEDICAL DOCTOR.

  3. Fuck you on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Dear publisher: Fuck you. I'm happy with either paying for journalism or viewing YOUR ads. I'm not going to allow your web site to shove somebody else's ads in my face. If you want to sell ads, then sell ads. Including some piece of code from an ad wholesaler isn't going to fly, in the same way I wouldn't accept an unknown package wrapped in brown paper from other random people trying to sell me shit along with my paper newspaper or paper magazine.

    Sell your own ads, publishers. That's part of your job. If you can't be bothered to do that, then I can't be bothered to help you get paid.

    I'm a windows phone user, and I can admit that it's dead.

    You should probably go back to the phone store and buy another one if yours is dead. Mine is working just fine!

    For a "dead" phone, mine works just fine, thanks. Somebody must have given you some bad information.

    Our company rents our Exchange from a big ISP that runs Exchange Server. A lot cheaper than Office 365 from Microsoft.

    Dipshit, Amazon sells your information to many, many, MANY different people. If you think the delivery person is the only person knows you're buying expensive electronics from Amazon, then I have a bridge to sell you.

  8. Good idea on Bitcoin Ponzi Scheme Operator Pleads Guilty To $150M Fraud · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It's not a bad idea. If you're going to do a Ponzi scheme, it makes sense to target a population that already has proven too gullible for it's own good: Bitcoin users!

    What is new?

    It's a new piece of software, a new income to deal with in accounting, a new security vector, a new expense, and all in all, a new headache that will bring merchants little to no added value. It's going to die just like all of the new payment methods that have come out recently and are due to come out so

    Windows Phone isn't terrible. On the contrary, it's the best phone OS on the market today.

    I understand why you're hesitant to try it out and see for yourself, being such a costly program and all.

    Oh, you silly kids! What the OSS fanatics fail to understand is that once a person leaves graduate school to get a "real job" in the "real world" that time suddenly becomes much more important to money for many, many people. Saving a few hundred bucks on software is pointless (to me) if I have to spend more than an hour dicking with it, for example. For other people, a few hundred bucks (actually Office 365 is only $100/year) might be worth two hours of their time to dick with. Anything more than that, and it's not worth my time.

    Really. "Twice the number of clicks"? Jesus, if you have to convince people that it's "only a few mouse clicks to install" is a program feature, then perhaps you should work on writing software that people actually want to use.

    Just use a couple of small business routers with built in VPN. They do all of the different subnets and wireless and all of that stuff. They're a few hundred bucks each.

  17. Built into Windows Phone on Ask Slashdot: Measuring (and Constraining) Mobile Data Use? · · Score: 1

    Windows Phone tells you exactly how much data each "app" or part of the OS uses. Easily limitable, too. Sucks for Android/ios users.

  18. Re:Just because you like it doesn't mean others wi on Microsoft To Cut 7,800 More Jobs, Take $7.6 Billion Writedown On Nokia · · Score: 1

    Better UI is subjective and personally I disagree with you on that. Most people really don't give a shit as long as it doesn't get in their way. People are familiar with iOS and Android and familiarity counts for a lot even if it isn't necessarily the most optimal way to do things. Look at how much hate Windows 8 has received even though in some cases it does make some improvements.

    I'm not a UI expert, but I kind of thought that we had moved past the "whole lot of random icons on the desktop" that my father used in 1995, but hey, whatever floats your boat. I personally don't have the time or interest to hunt through pages of icons for every little thing I need to do.

    I have seen no objective evidence that Windows Phone is more or less stable than Android or iOS devices. You'll need to present some actual objective data for me to concede that point. Something more than your personal experiences.

    I really have no interest in convincing you or anybody else. People with Android and iOS reboot their phones frequently. I don't. Enjoy rebooting.

  19. Re:Nobody will license Windows for mobile on Microsoft To Cut 7,800 More Jobs, Take $7.6 Billion Writedown On Nokia · · Score: 1

    It's better because it has a better UI, is more stable, and does much more by itself without needing extra "apps". It makes sense for companies to license it if their customers want to buy phones with what's arguably the best OS out there right now. Again, I don't understand why people don't buying them over Android. They're subsidizing the phones right now, but I'd happily pay more for a Windows Phone because it's a much better product, in my opinion.

  20. Re:Microsoft tried the wrong business model on Microsoft To Cut 7,800 More Jobs, Take $7.6 Billion Writedown On Nokia · · Score: 1

    The thing is, Windows Phone is a better OS than either iOS or Android, so it makes sense that they'd think that companies would want to pay to license their software. I don't know why consumers consistently choose Android or iOS over Windows.
