  1. Re: Apple should not pay the taxes on Shouting 'Pay Your Taxes', Activists Occupy Apple Stores in France (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 2

    Well, the US is about to ruin the internet for everyone and then there's the whole continuous wars thing. Maybe EU taxes aren't so bad by comparison.

    They should seize all iPhones and install Android :D

    The state doesn't exist to impose my will on other people.

    No; it exists to impose the will of government employees on other people.

    Good luck with that. The masse's shape language.

  7. I remember when the government wasn't referred to as 'the authorities.'

  8. Time was if you tripped over on slashdot you'd hit an Uber fan.

    Yeap; now it's just the shills for <theWayThingsWereCorp>.

  9. Head of <genericOldeWorldeTaxiFirm>, is that you?

  10. Uber must be pretty threatening; they appear to garner more attention than organised crime.

  11. From memory, their website uses the same design goals.

  12. Microsoft knows that one of the most difficult things to remember isn't what you were working on a week or so ago -- browser histories help with that. It's remembering all of the associated apps and documents that went with it: a particular PowerPoint document, that budget spreadsheet, the context an Edge tab provided.

    Great. How about if you stop destroying all that state with sneaky reboots whenever the user goes afk?

  13. Re:Of course it did on Flat Earther's Homemade Rocket Launcher Breaks Down in His Driveway (desertsun.com) · · Score: 1

    You don't need a rocket to see if the planet is flat, just stick a camera on a weather balloon, as countless people have already done, with a parachute for the way back down.

    Or stand on a beach and look at the horizon - it clearly curves.

  14. Mmmm on There's Now a Dark Web Version of Wikipedia (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Does it have an article on 'standard web', perhaps entitled 'Corporate-Shill-/Sammer-/Fed Web ?'

    Watch out!

    I hear they're monitoring Aluminium sales. Once you cross the secret threshold, black helicopters will be outside foil-mart waiting to intercept you on your next shopping trip. For safety, distribute your transactions amongst the shell corporations you control.

    This is as serious as a natural disaster.

    The USA really is a third-world country.

    Sure, talk yourself up the league table.

    I'm a paramecium and I find your lack of big-picture thinking disturbing, worthy of a Didinium.

    Giving people food just makes them beggars. Teaching them to fish is a better proposition.

    I'm a *vegan* beggar you insensitive clod!

    How many people you think we could feed for the half a trillion dollars we've spent on the F-35?

    After the F-35 has brought them democracy, they'll be too busy 'voting' to eat.

    The reason to cuss the GP is for overcooking great meat. Low and slow is for cheap cuts. For Prime rib, just shine a flashlight on both sides...it's cooked.

    omg, pot calling kettle black. The flashlight should have no batteries.

    Fun fact: I once almost hit a turkey with my car on Thanksgiving.

    The competition to run it over must have hit a peak given the time of year - truly you are the best of the best and deserve some kind of prize...

  24. Turkeys Are Twice as Big as They Were in 1960

    Whereas US males went from an average 166.3 pounds in 1960 to 195.7 pounds in 2014, a mere 17.6% gain.

    Come on humans. Keep up!

  25. Apple told me it couldn't comment on the record about what criteria it uses to decide where new stores are built or the demographics of its stores' neighborhoods

    Wow, I guess technical competence can only take you so far. What a pity a comment couldn't be constructed from one-pixel transparent gifs.
