  1. 1 - Invent something that needs cartridges or envelopes or bags or anything as a reason for doing useful service. 2 - Profit. 3 - Watch out for the Internet.

  2. MG5 on Slashdot Asks: How Do You Navigate Your Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    Have a Moto G5, I navigate using the finger sensor. One quick touch, main screen. Swipe to the right, shows background running tasks, swipe to the left closes or return to the prior screen. That's all, folks!

  3. They might be discussing the matter of having right to oversea servers data, but they already have them anyway. National Security my arse.

  4. Duck battery, I need a browser who actually works, and Chrome is NOT one that work with all types of websites. Frequently I have to launch Firefox for that and always keep it installed when using Chrome. That's why, up to today, I never totally migrated into Chrome. I still use Chrome when youtubing because of the extensions, and that is the only reason. At work I never use Chrome.

  5. Good for Linus. Still a boring job, but at least it's way better than trying to "make the world better" through Facebook.

  6. What can I Say? on More Than Half of US Workers Didn't Use Up Their Time Off Last Year (qz.com) · · Score: 4

    In some other country, our unions fought hard for us to have proper holidays. Now I take 2 (two) 15-days off, paid, during the year. We also have a 33% bonus added for spending during vacation. I take 15-day at every 6-month and come renewed for working even harder. Would never accept to work as a horse in US receiving carrots for that. My off-life is more important than work, always.

  7. Reminds me of Ponzi on Bitcoin Price Hits Fresh Record High Above $2,200 (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    For some reason, today's bitcoin operation reminds me of Pyramid Schemes, where only the first people actually make money. This system is going to fail somewhere in the future. And it's being taken by terrorists and crackers as a way of receiving untracked money. It doesn't matter. Unregulated "freedom" stuff here on earth will never work because of human (bad) nature.

  8. American Marketing on Amazon Just Announced the Touchscreen Echo Nobody Asked For (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Did you see the video commercial? MY GOD, I have never seen such a bad thing. American marketing plain sucks. It looks like 1980 commercials.

  9. Yeah, right. on US To Seek Social Media Details From Certain Visa Applicants (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    (...)"U.S. consular officials would not seek social media passwords"(...) As if they needed any password to have full access to our data.

  10. Check on As Print Surges, Ebook Sales Plunge Nearly 20% (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    eBook? WTF, reading paper books is way better and nothing to recharge or to worry. Never had an urge of having one, played with some of them from friends but really did not feel like buying such a thing.

  11. By itself on 'There's No Good Way To Kill a Bad Idea' (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Bad ideas, despite the suffering and ignorance they might disperse during its life are usually killed by themselves.

  12. Brazilian User on Ask Slashdot: What Was Your First Home Computer? · · Score: 1

    My first computer, back when I was 10 years old was a ZX81 Clone called "CP200s" from Prologica, a Brazilian-based firm. By that time the market in Brazil was closed to importing technology, so copied hardware flourished (stupid country never funded research instead). In that time I also played with a friend's CP-500 (TRS-80 Prologica clone). Today I still own a TK90x (ZX Spectrum clone with a dual switchable ROM to the original ZX spectrum) with a ZXCF I myself built, that way I can load everything from a Compact Flash card directly into ZX Spectrum RAM, pretty cool. I also have a MSX 1.0 in good condition with floppy drive and joysticks. Love to play Moon Patrol on it. :) Great old times...
