Comment Proving a simple point (Score 1) 117

Together with the other exploits for Gatekeeper in OSX that just came out, this goes on to prove a very simple point. iOS and OSX are not fundamentally safer than Android or Windows, they where just protected because the installed user base was not enough to catch hackers attention on the desktop platform. That it's clearly changing.

Ah true that, forgot that one but I'm glad to see I'm not alone in the Amazon issues as well. Truth be told, it doesn't crash Firefox, it only makes it crawl like a snail. Seriously, Firefox needs a very big overhaul, they keep adding features that only an handful of people cares about instead of fixing what's really wrong with it.

I'm keeping an eye out for Vivaldi. Although to say the truth, I could perfectly go with Chrome... if they had proper tab management and if they had tab lazy loading/unloading.

If they didn't bombard me and everyone with what seems like the skyline of Las Vegas every time I open their site, I would not feel the need to use an adblock.

The web became basically unusable without an adblock lately and the content providers only have themselves to blame. If they kept it to 1 or 2 text advertisements per page, most people wouldn't even want to install an adblocker, but the content providers had to go full retard. Never go full retard.

Seriosuly, I keep trying to use DuckDuckGo as my main browser but I constantly have to switch to Google because of this.

For most subjects, the time of the creation/indexing of the page is not that important, but if you are programing or if you are doing scientific research, you really need to be able to filter the most recent results.

Sincerely I cannot understand how this is modded informative. There is absolutely no factual data that supports what you just said. Sure, the bible implies what you described, but well, it's the bible, and the day we'll start to take the bible as "factual data" in Slashdot will be the day logic gets shattered to pieces.

Comment Re:And this kids, is why you should pirate all mus (Score 1) 386

Yes and somehow you still got Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Handel, Bizet... want me to continue the list?

Music worked fine without copying for centuries, many forms of art still do now-a-days, or do you think that sculptors, painters and the such get to copy their works ad infinitum for a living?

This copyright society so toughly enforced by the music industry is only here to favour exactly the industry, not the artists.

This is an abhorrent verdict. It will make indie composing basically impossible since no small musician alone can just check his songs for "resemblance" with previous titles, and worst, we will be always in danger of having a devastating lawsuit against him at any given time just because some record labels thinks that is music "resembles" something they produced before.

Seriously, don't pay for music, it's time to send a message to these people. Go see your favorite bands on stage, but when it comes to listen at home... just find a way not to buy the music.

While the Government of India may be trying to ban it and the some conservative rednecks of the country hold crazy views, it seems that the majority doesn't..
It is the same Indians that are mass-protesting in response to rapes, to corruption, and want safe streets for themselves and their women: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... [youtube.com]

I believe your are mixing the majority with the vocal minority, like we do so many times about so many issues.

I literally just started re-coding my game from Cocos2d to Unreal

Can you share some experiences with us. What did disappoint you in Cocos2d and what did you find appealing in Unreal Engine?

I'm about to start developing a 2D game (mostly for fun tough) and I was quite indecisive between Godot and Cocos2d... now I'm indecisive between Godot, Cocos2d, and Unreal Engine. The more choices the more I stall this...
