    Its poor that are getting fat because they eat cost optimized manufactured garbage thats so cheap you can eat a lot of it.

    besides, you could plan to buy one at a time.

    if I'd buy four candybars and they would come in the mail I would eat them all! ALL! excuse me while I go raid the fridge for some kitkat.

    You just discovered why Americans are fat, yay for you.
    Sad fat low income American goes to walmart, buys huge box of vegetable oil labeled as chocolate and immediately eats it all.

    I'm wondering if there was any discriminatory thinking by the jury.

    Should I side with some random 'BIG COMPANY', or those nice folks that stay at my motel, dine in my cafe, rent my building and bring all this sweet economy boom to my town? Hmmm choices choices.

  7. Re:End the PPI race on Futuremark Delists Samsung and HTC Android Devices for Cheating 3DMark · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem is that many of the latest 1080p phones are slower in games than their 720p predecessors such as nexus 5 vs nexus 4

    I wonder why arent they rendering to smaller resolution window and then rescaling? M$ does this in X180 rendering games in 720p and upscaling to pretend its a next gen full HD console.

    Information wants to be free for me, but not for thee.

    Was AFP wrong to take the images because it violated the profoundly-honored institution of copyright, which everyone on Slashdot naturally adores (heh), or because they're a rich corporations, and rich corporations are always wrong compared to "working men"?

    because they made money from it

    I eagerly awate assemblerex's demand for Voltage Pictures to be compensated millions of dollars for the bittorrented distribution of The Hurt Locker. I bring this up as someone who was employed on that film, and note that that money pays my salary on the next film...

    Look into your contract sucker, do you really believe your payment was somehow related to how much money movie made? I wont even mention hollywood accounting.

  21. Re:self-flying planes on Airline Pilots Rely Too Much On Automation, Says Safety Panel · · Score: 1

    Are you thinking of that belly landing by Polish Airlines Flight 16 (November 1, 2011)? The landing gear failed to lower and the pilot did a text book belly landing.

    It was also determined by now that landing gear was 100% OPERATIONAL, fuse for the landing gear popped open and pilot didnt notice it (standard procedure).
    Proper action was to look at the instruments panel, notice fuse, pop it in, land a plane, not crash it.
