Comment Mixed Message from the Creators (Score 4, Insightful) 75

The creators should really decide what they feel. Because in the explanation on piratebay they show understanding if people won't buy before trying etc. but people should consider buying.

But then they use a file name containing "(pirate)" and also put at least one text scroller in the movie "Decided to pirate our movie, eh?"

No, i did not decide to pirate your movie. I downloaded it because you offered it for free download. I'm not a fan of Minecraft but if I like what I see I might have considered buying the movie.

But being insulted as a pirate when I just took their offer? This will surely not help positively with my decision if I shall give them money.

For quite a while there is a third kind of milk, at least over here in Germany, so called "prolonged freshness" (lÃnger frisch).

By either microfiltration or short heating of the milk (much less than UHT) you get milk which will stay fresh for about two to three weeks. The dealers love that milk because there is less risk of waste and they only need to order less frequently. Unfortunately there is absolutely no gain to the customer because once the milk was first opened, it will bet bad as fast as "normal" milk. Also the "longer fresh" milk tastes not so good.

These days it is getting rather hard to get "normal" (fresh/traditional made) milk.

If you do such a stunt, always carry another paid-for ticket with you. By doing so many of the possible charges like riding without a ticket can not be applied.

Even Fraud might be off the table because the fraud would normally be that you made the machine believe that you have a valid ticket. But in that case you have a valid ticket, so likely no Fraud (depends on the country and their laws).

Ok, mcdonalds.org is owned by MCD, but mcdonalds.net is not. Neither is mcdonalds.info, mcdonalds.pro or mcdonalds.travel.

Or for some ccTLDS:

Not owned: mcdonalds.li, mcdonalds.am, mcdonalds.com.ar, mcdonalds.bg, this list goes on.
Not even registered: mcdonalds.ag, mcdonalds.ai, this list as well goes on.

Comment Re:It's Just Gigawatts (Score 1) 568

There is no "kW/h", but there IS "kWh" which is actually the unit my utility company measures and bills my usage in (currently 0,234 EUR per kWh).

Likewise it should be "gigawatthours", not "gigawatts per hour". But then it makes perfectly sense. If my device has a power usage of 1 kW and I let it running for an hour, well it's 1 kWh.

Oh, bollocks.

Yes, there are some sysadmins of the kind you describe out there. But this is really not the norm. More often than not the admins are only carrying out - often stupid - policies forced upon them by the mighty above. Many try (or tried in the past) to fight stupid policies, but they are usually not successful.

Been there, done that, so your accusations are insulting to me, and to many colleagues I know.
