  1. Re:The question on eBay Seller Sues Autodesk for $10 Million · · Score: 1

    "Innocent until proven guilty" only applies to criminal cases. For civil cases, the court is supposed to side with whichever side is more likely to be correct.

  2. Re:In other news on Mindbridge Saves "Bunches of Money" In Switch To Linux · · Score: 1

    Who cares about the ratio of software cost to support cost?

  3. Re:Nice... on Facebook Exposes Advertisers To Hate Speech · · Score: 1

    Why does it matter is a rapist is rejected from the group if he has already passed on his genes by then? Many women will choose to bear the child even if it was the product of a rape. Keep in mind that a serial rapist can potentially leave behind far more children than most useful members of society could support.

    HEY! That is not trolling! There is no objective "more" or "less" evolved, YOU FUCKING MORON MOD.

    Who are you to say what is more or less evolved? Rape isn't just a crime, it's an evolutionary strategy.

  6. Save even more money! on Big Box Store Reps Push Unnecessary Recovery Discs · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind these customers don't realize that something better is available for free. A fool and his money are soon parted...

  7. Re:kiosk on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    I was unclear in my original post... I still have my computer, and use THAT for the added Xbox functions you just described (except for storing games on the HD, I have to use a shelf for that).

  8. Re:kiosk on Another Sony Rootkit? · · Score: 1

    Because of this trend and because I don't like to have to mess with WINE, I just bought a console and started using that for games instead. Before now, I hadn't owned one since my old Sega Genesis.

    Ever see "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"?

  10. Re:Thank you very much on Most Laws Attempting Limits of Violent Videogames Fail · · Score: 2, Informative

    I can understand his position... the GGP appears to list progressively more widely offensive things, and then finishes with gay sex. It implies that gay sex is the most offensive thing on the list.

    You should put your signature in Slashdot's "signature" section of your preferences. That way I won't have to read it.

    Interesting... I'm not saying this is wrong, I just didn't know that. Where does the mass come from once the photon starts moving?

  15. Re:If true, then cryonics are effectively useless. on Another Way To Erase Memories · · Score: 1

    As if ice crystals smashing every cell to pulp weren't enough, now even if the damage could be repaired there would be no personality left after a cryonic resuscitation.
    Fortunately, no one who wanted to freeze themselves had any personality to begin with.

    Also, photons actually do have mass... Look it up. :)
    I just looked it up, and it does not seem to have mass... where did you hear otherwise?

    Keep in mind that the buying decision isn't made based on what the total cost is to society, but what the total cost is to the buyer. Someone who hires illegals does not care that you are paying for his savings.

    Yeah, because there's nothing in between "let it be" capitalism and communism, right?

    there is the very real likely possibility that a "friendly" looking robot is less likely to be attacked by the enemy.

  25. Interesting. on Why Work Is Looking More Like a Video Game · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I can definitely see this sort of thing happening in my line of work; I'm a mechanical engineer who specializes in design. I'll spend the bulk of my work week playing with 3D models, and the finite element model does all the work I hated having to do by hand. The people who use my work give ratings for how much they like the final product, so I like to think of (that rating)/(total cost) as my "score".
