  1. If it can be done without the fetid stink of feed lots (which we that live near them call 'The Smell of Other People's Money'), then I'm all for it.

  2. "...our coffee-rubbed Kobe beef is read the book Are You My Mother by a Guatemalan child." -- Patton Oswalt

  3. Re:Canonical should make an Official Canary on Ubuntu Founder Pledges No Back Doors In Linux (eweek.com) · · Score: 1

    As should every F/OSS endeavor; from CLI utility to OS.

  4. Not migration on Climate-Exodus Expected In The Middle East And North Africa (phys.org) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Expiration. The one-percenters realized a few decades ago that with fewer and fewer menial jobs remaining, there would be waaaay too many of the underclass that could ultimately threaten their lifestyles and very lives. Thus military, environmental, and especially economic policies have been implemented to 'thin the herd'. Explains quite a bit, actually.

  5. One human job will be retained on With AI Getting Better at Cognitive Abilities, Humans Will Have Even Fewer Jobs (koreaherald.com) · · Score: 1

    Moralizing politicians will reserve their role of calling everyone that can't find an increasingly rare living-wage job, a no-good bum.

  6. All you need to know on Supreme Court Gives FBI More Hacking Power (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2

    FBI HQ is still named after that tyrant J Edgar Hoover, who gathered so much power, even Presidents feared him.

    The FBI hasn't changed; they will never change.

  7. How many times does this need to be mentioned. You are NOT Microsoft's customer, you are their product. They are in the business of selling your browsing habits (and any other personal information they can steal) to whomever will pay them for it.

    Remember to Facebook this too.

  8. VLC on iTunes Turns 13 Today -- Continues To Be 'Awful' (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Winamp, long after it's dead, is still the best music player there is.

    I'd say VLC... unless you *are* into whipping llamas.

  9. I had no idea Volvo still existed.

  10. "Yeah, it runs in the family; grandma turned in Anne Frank's family, so my decision was a no-brainer. The law is the law, you know."

  11. Repeat history on A Complete Guide To The New 'Crypto Wars' (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    "In order to save the village, we had to destroy it."

    "In order to defend the Constitution, we had to shred it."

  12. What we have is corporatism, not capitalism.

    It usually tries to defend itself by appropriating the NAME of capitalism

    And when that doesn't work, they trot out their kept woman Hillary to spout offensive garbage about 9/11.

  13. Wrapper on YouTube To Roll Out 6-Second Ads That You Can't Skip (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    a program that searches thru and launches a selected YouTube video... and cuts out audio and video for the first six seconds.

  14. Re:giant boondoggle is giant boondoggle on Is the $400 Billion F-35's 'Brain' Broken? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The national debt is a greater threat to the country than any foreign foe.

    The national debt *is* a foreign foe; the greatest, in fact. Ironically, most of the debt is due to the corporate welfare known as Permanent War (TM).

  15. Marketing on Hearing Aid Business Under Pressure From Consumer Electronics · · Score: 1

    The smart company will hire Garret Morris to be their Shoutsperson.

  16. I wonder what their rates are for allowing a backdoor? Probably cheaper than Intel's.

  17. Re:What about the Slashdot Interview? on Google's Ray Kurzweil Wants To Live Forever, and He Thinks It Includes Nanobots (playboy.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Ray never responded to the Slashdot interview that was begun in December. https://features.slashdot.org/... [slashdot.org]

    Quit being impatient; he has at least 500 years left for finishing.

  18. Dayz on Mitsubishi Motors Pulls a Volkswagen; Shares Drop (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ...as well as the Dayz and Dayz Roox

    However, they went on to stress that the 'Chicken 4 Dayz' model is unaffected.

  19. Literal Down Side on US Treasury To Feature Harriet Tubman On $20 Bill (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    NPR reporting http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/04/20/474983292/treasury-decides-to-put-harriet-tubman-on-20-bill that a portrait of Andrew Jackson will still be present on the back of the Tubman twenty.

    What. The. Fuck. The US Treasury is offering an olive branch to the fans of a proud slave-holding author of genocide (Trail of Tears)? Jesus wept.

  20. This engine has perfected the ability to throw itself at the ground... and miss.

  21. Absolutely on Can Switzerland Become a Safe Haven For the World's Data? (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    All it takes is an unwavering belief that the organs of state security do not see themselves as clear-thinking Defenders of the Faith, and have not placed themselves and their actions above the orders and rules of mere elected officials.

  22. J Edgar on Court Troubled By Surveillance Excesses At FBI, NSA (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    We are not going to see a change until officials go to jail for domestic spying.

    J Edgar Hoover was never charged for his crimes subverting the FBI to be his personal spy network*. US government officials were as terrified of him as their counterparts were of Stalin up to the moment they both died.

    * - Some will allege the FBI has changed. Bullshit. Look who their HQ is STILL named after.

  23. Re:Small and inconsequential on VPN Blockade Backlash Doesn't Hurt Us, Says Netflix (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know a single person who was actually stopped by this
