It would be interesting if the 'structure' they offer will be ways of finding all the cops that murdered black people because they're trigger happy around dark skin. I can't say if I'd be upset hearing some vigilantes decide to murder the racist cops who have all taken innocent black lives.
We totally expected that there would be comets that broke the speed of light so we weren't even looking for them when we *Yawn* found one while looking for the planet Cybertron.
Thank you for adding some intelligence, I used to love reading comments in Slashdot but now it makes me wonder what happened to humanity.
The biggest impact social media seems to have had on humans is the idea that if someone disagrees with you, it's because they are obviously stupid and desire your ridicule and vitriol. There no longer seems to be intelligent debate or even discussions on the likes of FB or Twitter in the same way you had it in the old days of Usenet and other public internet forums.
I'm saddened that the average person is more like Donald Trump than any sort of intelligent, thinking being while on the internet and its taking its toll on the smart people who remember what it was like to have a discussion with other smart people.
Agreed. I think that if he can't bother to give the countries the attention they ask for they don't have to do business with facebook. I can see now how many less people would be into the Brexit if they made facebook illegal in Canada and UK. I'm all for this. Facebook isn't so big they can say fuck you to the UK.
I posted the link to the Onion editorial of the same name the last time they posted it but because Slashdot is lazy about submissions that this has shown up twice, I'm too lazy to paste it in again.
So they're refunding people who paid full price but what about the people who actually BOUGHT a whole new phone? Those people should be getting something too. I upgraded because the phone slowed down and I figured it was just that the apps were getting too big and bloated for the old processor so I upgraded. I want a refund. too!
I'm really confused, how are people from India helping with gambling? Isn't this article being racist nowadays when you use archaic terms like 'Indian' to refer to a indigenous native of the Americas?
I am hoping that when they name everything in space that they just put "space" in front of it so you have "Space Captain" and "Space Private" and "Space Admiral" flying on "Space Ships" that dock in "Space Ports" that are home to "Space Fortresses" and "Space Base".
I imagine having practice for "Space Battle" so they can wage "Space Wars".
I suppose we could do the same with "Star" if we wanted to or perhaps "Astro" since we already have "Astronauts".
I found it ironic and silly that the companies signing a letter saying 'discrimination is wrong' are all companies that have been actively discriminating against old people and women and have made no headway in the ten years they've been called out for it.
Really, as someone who actively avoids GMO and boycotts GMO users, I hate it when people throw things like 'Golden Rice' and 'Low Acrylamide Spuds' because those are positive examples of GMO, but most people who are avoiding GMO are doing so because they don't believe Roundup-Ready Soybeans is a responsible example of bio-engineering for health, at it has been shown to create cycles of superpests while putting known carcinogens in our food supply.
For some reason, I'm coming up blank to describe the difference between responsible and irresponsible GMO.
We executed Hussein, Milosevic and most of the Nazis for doing this stuff. Basically, we put a bunch of racist sadists in charge of a program where they got to dehumanize, torture and kill brown people who had no legal process. Why can't we start with the President and work our way down to the people who were 'just following orders'? I'd like to see some justice.
But other organizations have done similar things in the past to affect change, so why not do it here?
Basically, instead of complaining about how unsafe and insecure voting is, start a website called something like 'cockblockthevote.org' and detail how to cheat at voting on a state-by-state sort of setup, where each state's districts will have the machines they use with a link to all the vulnerabilities and how to 'hack the vote' with that machine. I'm sure a bunch of the research can be done here on slashdot by just browsing election years and all the notes on things like diebold vulnerabilities.
A site like this would get change a lot faster than security experts whining about it, IMO. I would even donate to whatever group started doing it but the truth is I just don't have the time to DIY.
I'd suggest boycotting Nintendo but they stopped making anything that interested me in 1995 so I haven't really bought anything from them in 20 years.
I love that people offer insight into things that many gamer benefit from and I often wondered about when I was playing games like Chrono Trigger and wondering how many people were involved in the way Magus talked in English.
I hate that companies that essentially exist because of the fans punish the fans.
...I'd change my password to 'the-principle-fucked-me-in-the-ass-and-told-me-he-would-kill-my-parents-if-I-told-anyone-so-I-write-about-it-here' before engaging in any cyber bullying.
I really enjoy the fact that the 'news' tells us where to go to buy our drugs now that Silk Road is down again. And reading the comments told me which top competitors to look for as well. Thanks 'the news'. And thanks Slashdot. Thanks to you I no longer have to face the world sober.
The big deal here is that we've blown the crime of child porn out of proportion. Thanks to American minimum sentencing laws, anyone caught LOOKING at child porn will be put away for longer than if they murdered the child. You'd have to murder multiple people to get put away longer than someone who is caught MAKING child porn.
Also, open note to Google, MS and everyone else thinking they can get press on this. Please IMPRESS me by showing off something way more drastic like stopping a gang murder or preventing a terrorist attack. Those guys are violent and hard to go after and tend to like vengeance which makes it much more impressive than snagging some nerdy child porn consumer.
Also, as someone who was subjected to the kinds of child abuse these films portray, being molested as a child hasn't destroyed my life or caused deep damage. I'm extremely happy with how things turned out and the only thing is that I'm a bit more kinky than average because I have 10-15 more years of sexual experience than most people thanks to getting started around the age of 3.
In no way am I advocating it, but we should seriously consider why we think murder isn't as important as possessing child porn?
One of the tools of the psychohistory discipline is a 'fantasy analysis' where you take out positive and negative adjectives and simply rely on verbs and nouns to reveal the thoughscape of the writer/speaker.
When someone says 'We're not going to war, we are not killing women and children' it means that they are actually thinking about war and killing women and children.
When I see 'We're not making up Nightmare Scenarios' I get REALLY scared because now I think the NSA also has a list of every type of minority and a scenario to eliminate them.
Hacker says it's time to stop listening to authors. Especially if they think hacker=computer criminal. It's got as much integrity as saying white people=bankers.
I'm all for religious freedom, but institutionalizing the hatred of religious zealots who tend to ruin religion for everyone else seems a very inhuman thing to do.
Next they can pass laws saying that religious freedom can also include suicide bombing.
I've never really 'liked' Bill Gates, but I have admired the fact that he's a tycoon who got to where he is by not exploiting third world non-white people as most other billionaires do.
If you think about it, the 'shady but successful business practices' really only screwed other rich white people and didn't enslave entire third world countries and rape their resources like most other non-tech billionaires. For that, I see BG as an evolutionary step forward in the ecosystem of greedy business men.

When civilization fails, you won't be able to hide behind a computer screen and threaten people. Are you sure YOU'RE not gonna be the first to die?

...is that I know that a company of Apple's size can't 'turn the company upside down' in just a matter of weeks and expect to find anything.
If this was protected by a gag letter and high clearance, unless Tim Cook has clearance, that part of Apple is hidden from him.

I bet if the "suspect" was named "John Smith" and white he might not have been arrested.
I'm surprised that didn't make it into the summary.
