    That's how the can do free shipping on everything!

  2. Is this additional income tax? on Seattle City Council Unanimously Approves Income Tax For the Rich (geekwire.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I mean where I live you are happy to get 50% of your income after tax.

  3. It is already real on Former Oculus Exec Predicts Telepathy Within 10 Years (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I can talk to anyone on earth through the internet or a phone. Sci-fi movies are right most of the time, but the implementation differs.

  4. Would be funny if everybody did that on Germany Approves Plans To Fine Social Media Firms Up To $57M (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Imagine muslim countries trying to fine hate speech from their point of view. Or anything that resembles nudity.

  5. Just make yourself invisible on HBO, Netflix, Other Hollywood Companies Join Forces To Fight Piracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Do they realize, their service is not affordable for the majority of the world? Their shows are staying unknown outside the US.

  8. Why present something that cannot be accessed? on Wall Street Journal's Google Traffic Drops 44% After Pulling Out of First Click Free (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Google's search result would be trash if every other link led to a page that needs subscription. Plain and simple. Then there are those geolocked sites, too...

  9. There is a reason it did not catch on on Ask Slashdot: Is There a Way To Write Working Code By Drawing Flow Charts? · · Score: 1

    I don't know the reason, but there is one, and it must be a pretty good one. That is enough proof for me.

  12. Good, but also bad on EU Passes 'Content Portability' Rules Banning Geofencing (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Since nothing prevents subscribing to a service from Western Europe in Eastern Europe, the prices have to be the same across the whole region. Major games on Steam are already too expensive for the poorer half of Europe.

  13. Universities teach useless knowledge.

  14. Re:I might regret saying this but... on HPE Unveils The Machine, a Single-Memory Computer Capable of Addressing 160 Terabytes (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

  20. Re:So in other words... on Microsoft Tests a Secured Edge Browser For Business (techradar.com) · · Score: 0

    Virtual Machine is for pussies. Just use a separate Psychical Machine, if security is so important.

  21. Re:English "losing"? on EU Leader Says English Is Losing Importance (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    Who cares about French? Russian is the way to go for Europe!

  24. Tried to compress explorer.exe on Windows is Bloated, Thanks to Adobe's Extensible Metadata Platform (bit.ly) · · Score: 1

    From 4.7 MB down to 1.3 MB. I don't think binaries should be compressible that much.
