  1. You know you can disable the Google spying on an Android device? Or are you the the kind of person that gets afraid of the word rooting because you suddenly have to take responsibility of your own device?

  2. Nah, I don't think Trump is after me. Hillary, on the other hand, got so much bribes, eh, I mean campaign donations, from Hollywood, that I'm not so sure about her. The RIAA might be after me for down,loading a lot of movies.

    How about Russia?

  4. > The Law of Supply and Demand is in charge of wages, just like many other money-related things.

    Funny it doesn't seem to be in charge of CEO rewards. Demand is low, supply is large, but the wages are continuously rising faster than average.

  5. Re:And it doesn't matter. on Will Trump Protect America's IT Workers From H-1B Visa Abuses? (cio.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it would. It would also mean that it matters again for democrats in Texas and republicans in New York and California to vote, so the result is probably unpredictable. I would be surprised if anyone in the US has the guts to rty that out.

  6. You want the juicier articles? Go to www.ni g germania.net (stupid filter, I had to add spaces to the URL).

    You clearly don't know what "fascist" used to mean: it was an authoritarian form of government where there was no clear distinction between companies and government. Just like the US today. After the fascists in Italy became cozy with the nazis in Germany the meaning of th word has been changed in later years, and it now usually means "any strong government I don't like".

    > I don't know where to find all of them

    Try forum.mobilism.org (register to use the search function). Popular SF is there faster than Amazon can ship it. I downloaded Navigators of Dune the day it came available.
    Try Google the title + epub or pdf
    Try the pirate bay

    I wish I had those resourcs when I was a graduate student, carrying all those heavy books would be replaced by just loading them on a tablet.

  9. I guess even Putin would have beaten Hillary if he was allowed to for US president.

  10. Even if he had, the US under Bill Clinton admitted that they influenced the Russian elections of the time and got Jeltsin re-elected. I guess the Russians are now repaying you with interest.

  11. I only browse with an adblocker anyway. :-)

    Trump is grateful the democrats pushed very hard the only candidate that he would be able to defeat.

    > What do Slashdot readers think is causing what this article describes as "our epidemic of misinformation"?

    This article describes any press against their chosen candidate (Hillary) as misinformation, that's obvious. Now all their bribes are wasted and their well-paying opportunities are gone (for the next 4 years at least).

  14. Nothing to do with real fake news on Mark Zuckerberg Announces Facebook Will Fight Fake News -- Next To An Ad With Fake News (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    Zuckerberg is just angry that all that money he threw at the Hillary campaign was a failed investment and now Trump can easily retaliate with a reduction of the H1B crowd. When he says "no fake news" he means "no nes that puts my suppirted candidate in a bad light".

  15. He knows very well that means an invasion from the US. I mean, starving your own population and threatening others with nuclear missles is one thing, but violating copyrights is an entirely different matter, which calls far more serious reactions.

    It's not a crime anyway. Corporations may think they have a right to monopolies as a profit model, but the only reasons they have it is because they bribe politicians better than ordinary people.

    The current Ukraine coup junta was installed when neonazi groups supported by the EU/US forcibly removed the ligitimate government. And I'm not making up the neonazi part, they are actually marching through the streets with swastika's. So they have to do their masters bidding, wether their own population agrees or not.

    The difference is that Stormfront is a site that openly advocates a certain political thought. Twitter claims it is not, but its CEO is clearly still pissed that all those bribes to Hillary are wasted money now, so they crack down on speech they don't like. #KKK #ISIS #Trump2016

    Not really, there are programs that will decrypt the current window if it contains pgp encrypted text. Quite easy, if more mail clients supported inline pgp instead of that unreliable s/mime with its "trusted" keys built in most programs.

    Putin puppet? Just because he doesn't head for WW3 like Hillary?

    The cold war is over. Most people don't care if Putin likes something or not, but it would be good for the western world to get along well with him.

    Complaining that muslims are not liked by a non-muslim is like complaining that blacks don't like KKK members. You generally don't like those who are opposed to your way of life.

    The term "racism" has been so misused that a lot of people now think "so I'm a racist whatever I do because I'm white, fine then I'll be a racist. Now fuck those niiggers".
