"But then, I have said the same thing about Amazon and others, that people should simply stop buying from them, but since that is so simple to do, it won't take place."

People don't not do things because they're simple - they don't do them because they don't have a problem with them. I like Amazon - the prices are good, they don't fuck me around if there's a problem and the whole process from ordering to delivery causes no problems.

Likewise, if you don't like reddit or think they should be tolerating people scraping data or accessing APIs for free forever, don't go to reddit. But I couldn't give a fuck about all that - I just want to follow a few subreddits from time to time. This protest was obviously going to fail because reddit would have lost money if they did, and no normal person is going to be remotely interested in APIs or third party apps etc.

Submission + - Slashdot Alum Samzenpus's Fractured Veil Hits Kickstarter

CmdrTaco writes: Long time Slashdot readers remember Samzenpus,who posted over 17,000 stories here, sadly crushing my record in the process! What you might NOT know is that he was frequently the Dungeon Master for D&D campaigns played by the original Slashdot crew, and for the last few years he has been applying these skills with fellow Slashdot editorial alum Chris DiBona to a Survival game called Fractured Veil. It's set in a post apocalyptic Hawaii with a huge world based on real map data to explore, as well as careful balance between PVP & PVE. I figured a lot of our old friends would love to help them meet their kickstarter goal and then help us build bases and murder monsters! The game is turning into something pretty great and I'm excited to see it in the wild!

"To deploy it, the driver would pull out in front of the attacker and turn it on."

The person using it is not the attacker? So the attacker is the person being stopped...by the driver. Not the attacker driver, the driver who's deploying the device. Got it.

Err, sure you aren't thinking of 5ghz wifi there, champ?

I'm pretty sure the world consists of other places too.

Perhaps this is a US thing. On other worlds, such as the UK, data isn't so expensive.

Who the fuck is "EzInKy" and why would anyone else care whether they use Prime or not? The benefit outweighs the cost if the cost is less than you'd spend, or you can afford it, or prefer the convenience. There's no right or wrong answer.
