I don't understand your question well enough to answer it. Your question seems to imply that somebody said it should take more time to lose 3 billion dollars than to make it. I don't see how that is relevant to a comment about how a person will do just fine without United States citizenship if he has 3 billion dollars.
Maybe he could alternate between a medically-induced coma and having his heart stopped, each for as long as it could be safely done before switching. He would alternate between being "brain dead" and "clinically dead" for a whole year and then completely revived to collect his money. Since he's rich, I'm sure the American government would allow it.
I think the point of economic sanctions to ruin a nation's entire economy. And Slashdot picked out just the games part so it will fit in with this website.
Any time you say something bad about Google on Slashdot, you'll have people replying with comments on the level of political attack speech, and probably get modded down. It's as if they have shills with Slashdot accounts. But that's strange because Slashdot can't be big enough for a corporation to care.
I was actually a bit disappointed that every single comment seems to be about how the company is going to die, or arguing over whether it's relevant in a business environment. Does anybody out there know anything about the new development environment?
I have a 1.5 terabyte external drive and a 5 gigabyte one. It's not that I can't get more space. And for what it's worth, I'm not much of a gamer. It's just that it's insanely stupid to eat up gigabytes of space in the computer if you're going to have a disc in the computer the whole time with the same files. All of my CS classes were about efficiency. The real world is about using up resources just because they're there.
Well my biggest gripe is the amount of space it takes to install the games. If the problem is all the video, sound, and graphics, why not just run the game directly from the disc? Don't they make you put the disc in to play the game anyway? It's like they want to annoy you in both ways, eating up your disc space and still requiring you to have the disc.
Hmm maybe it depends on the model. Or maybe I've flipped. Either way, if the web browser works, I could do without rooting the television to make it an Android tablet... for now...
The only thing I can imagine is they're trying to download pictures from a crappy site that has like 100 thumbnails on it but rather than linking to the pictures directly, they each link to a webpage with that picture. So you have like 100 ads displayed to see the pictures. I could see somebody opening 100 pages in new tabs do save each picture.
Not interested because I've already seen what they did with their Google Music player. I spent days uploading all of my music. After a storm, I found I no longer had 4G coverage at my desk (I was actually able to get 4G everywhere in the building except the one place I had to be all day). Anyway, so suddenly I couldn't stream music fast enough to play it without buffering. I started setting Google to make more and more of the music available offline. Eventually I grew tired of their music player because their shuffle mode seems to randomly play songs rather than shuffle them (it was actually possible it would play the same song twice in a row, or never get around to playing every song). So I went back to the Amazon music player. And that's when I realized the Google player does make the music available offline, but apparently in a format only the Google player can use, even though they were mp3 and aac in the first place. So there's no way I'd use them for the rest of my file types. I don't want Word documents that can only be viewed with Google Docs, or mp4 files that can only be viewed with Google TV or whatever. Why can't it just download the same file I uploaded?
I'm thinking "biggest Android tablet ever". With a Kinect instead of a touchscreen. Or at least a real web browser instead of only being able to look at sites of their "partners".
They'll post every detail about their life on Facebook.
This is a big problem with Slashdot. If they don't like what you say, you'll be modded off-topic. But if they like what you say, you can be as off-topic as all hell and still get modded insightful. What's the point of having a moderation system if it won't be used properly?
The United States became prosperous when the British came in with devastating weapons and laid claim to its resources. So did Australia and Canada. Why didn't the same work for Africa?
That might work, but you probably should have included a comment about Africans not being smart, to ensure that you get your +5.
Most people in Africa have enough to eat. Africa is an enormous continent with many different landscapes and people. What Africa needs is leaders who actually care for their people, so they can exploit the land better and be educated.
It's not that Africans can't pick the right leaders. It's that the people draining African resources will kill any African who tries to take the place of the leaders they've chosen for Africa.
At this point, you guys are just circle-jerking. One bashes Africa and gets a +5, then another replies and bashes Africa getting a +5 repeatedly. I personally think Africa's problem has been nations repeatedly coming in with devastating weapons and laying claim to its resources. And when the people try to take it back they are faced with guns. And the people who took their resources will justify this by identifying one African as the representative of them all who, has agreed to sign everything over even though nobody else accepts this person as their leader. Kind of like when a law gets passed in the United States that nobody wants.
More resources means people will think they can make more people. Which, of course, will be worse in the long run since underground water never lasts forever, and it will be a larger population to starve.
I personally think it's a bit inconsiderate to basically say there should be less Africans. The number of Africans in existance is not the root cause of their problem. My first thought was "what non-African nation is going to lay claim to this water supply while Africans continue to die?"
Android requires that you give consent, since it tells you what permissions the application needs prior to installing it. So by very definition, these data leakages on Android are not malware. The user said it was ok for that application to collect that data.
If all users factor out the apps that require these kinds of permissions, how does the set of Android apps compare to the set of iPhone apps?
Since when is the iOS more secure? The latest Android has a very stable code and a solid permission system that allows the user to set exactly what an app can or can't do. This in contrast to an OS that can be rooted by a fucking website.
None of that matters as long as that version of android doesn't exist on any Android phone sold.

I don't see how that is relevant to a comment about how a person will do just fine without United States citizenship if he has 3 billion dollars.
If he has over 3 billion dollars, it's not going to stop him from living wherever he wants and doing whatever he wants.
Maybe he could alternate between a medically-induced coma and having his heart stopped, each for as long as it could be safely done before switching. He would alternate between being "brain dead" and "clinically dead" for a whole year and then completely revived to collect his money. Since he's rich, I'm sure the American government would allow it.
And this is Slashdot so you're modded "Funny". But if you said all of them deserve to die anyway, you probably would have been modded "Informative".
I think the point of economic sanctions to ruin a nation's entire economy. And Slashdot picked out just the games part so it will fit in with this website.
You missed the point too. It's not a "genome copying error". It is "evolution", which is exactly what is supposed to happen.
The problem is it's only telling you how many people like it, not how many people don't like it.

In that case, the government should stop taxing me too, so I'd never complain about being taxed without representation.

I wonder how hard would it be to issue an update that only allows accelerometer data to be passed to the app in the foreground.
My guess is Facebook is about to claim it has a patent on instant messages.

What Africa needs is education, not more water to be exported to other countries.
