  1. The DEA had paid out $237 million to over 9,000 informants over five years towards the end of 2015, according to the report. The Economist writes that "travelers no doubt paid the price in increased searches," adding that the resulting searches were all probably illegal.

    Like anything FedGov does is 'illegal' anymore. Funnie stuff. My aching sides.

  2. Job Two will a federally-mandated backdoor for real-time warrant less surveillance.

  3. Good luck, Europe (and China) on 'Star In a Jar' Fusion Reactor Works, Promises Infinite Energy (space.com) · · Score: 0

    Because not one near-worthless American dime will be spent on alternative energy research in now Big Oil America. I also fully expect any and all solar / wind subsidies to be eliminated (hell, they'll probably be levied a Big Oil Butt-Hurt tax to compensate for the Oil Patch's hard times).

    On the plus side, you will actually be able to see the air that will kill you visibly descend.

  4. Better idea on Google Starts Using HTML5 By Default Instead of Flash For Some Chrome Users (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They really want to kill Flash? Bury any search results in the back pages *if* they rely on Flash.

  5. We're all going to be spied on soon enough.

    What, you think a government now controlled by big fans of authoritarianism isn't going to rapidly pass exactly that the Tories have just done in the UK? Then you're as big a fool as rust-belt voters believing the lies of a reality TV star.

  6. Spinning even now on Fake News Prompts Gunman To 'Self-Investigate' Pizza Parlor (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    The pizzagate psychos are now being told this was clearly a 'false flag' operation to cover up and discredit a world wide pedophile ring... running out of a fucking pizza place.

    Jesus wept, this country is doomed.

  7. Re:treating the symptoms on The US Government Funds A War On Online Fake News (bangordailynews.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Look. If you think your populace is too stupid to discern between a clickbait tabloid and real news (whatever the fuck that is these days), going after the messengers will only aggravate the issue.

    This is windfall of the long-term, intentional program of the right to destroy competent US primary (secular) education. An ignorant populace is an easily deluded and manipulated populace.

    This priority is right up there with dog-whistling intolerance and minority voter disenfranchisement.

  8. Asking for a friend on 'Fatal' Flaws Found in Medical Implant Software (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone have a map to Wyoming?

  9. Rick James was wrong on Religious Experiences Have Similar Effect On Brain As Taking Drugs, Study Finds (cnn.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    "Religion is a helluva drug." And far more destructive than heroin.

  10. Re:eating less on Microbiome Changes Drive the Dieting Yo-Yo Effect, Study Finds (smh.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Personalised medicine is a huge emerging field...

    Reserved solely for billionaires and the party bosses (which will soon be the same coven).

  11. It is funny how Trump pied-piper blue-collars about bringing jobs back, when he and his coven are for eliminating the minimum wage, privatizing Social Security, raising the retirement age to 70 or higher...



    ... and replacing truckers with bots they don't have to pay.

  12. The Daily Mail? on Scientists Believe There's Finally A Cure For The Common Cold (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    I assume they also indicated the source of all colds were those untrustworthy Pakis.

  13. Really is the only hope on Slashdot Asks: Will Farming Be Fully Automated in the Future? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Truckers first, farmers second. Accelerated de-population of red states might stave off the planned dystopia.

  14. What an empty life on Right-Wing and Fake News Writers Are Now Going After Elon Musk (qz.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Folks that can't stand reality conflicting with their hate-based fantasies.

  15. Proved again that fact, truth, science, and honesty has a liberal bias.

  16. Six months or so on Sea Ice In Arctic and Antarctic Is At Record Low Levels This Year (cnn.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In about six months or so, we will never again hear such information from anyone even tangentially related to FedGov. This incoming admin will make the Harper suppression of science look like fucking Romper Room.

    These jackals are going to steal everything that isn't nailed down.

  18. Re:epidemic on Snopes.com Editor on Fake News: Social Media Is Not the Problem (backchannel.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    We're having a "national dialog" about this "issue" because the political establishment is pissed that their candidates didn't get elected and they are trying to figure out how to regain control of the electorate.

    Had the Left won, hard to imagine their extremist supporters racing around in Priuses, flying rainbow flags, yelling 'Death to Whitey!' at every Caucasian they meet, and burning down the occasional Cabelas.

    "Please pay no attention to all the extra emissions from growing, harvesting, processing, and transporting!"

  20. Big eyes on the top like you put on a hat. Have to do the same thing with Mississippi Kites. If they can track motion, even better.

  21. Get used to it. on Should Domain-Name Registrations Require A Verifiable Real Name? (blogspot.com) · · Score: 1

    Once the 'Freedom Gang' gets going, everything online will require a real name - and address - so the Patriots can have frank and candid discussions with those that don't seem American enough.

  22. Without a doubt on Will Trump's Presidency Bring More Surveillance To The US? (scmagazine.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Plus, they are one state away from having enough power to add or delete amendments to the Constitution. There is no way to stop them as they now control how votes and whose votes are counted.

    I'm sure there are a ton of good people in this country, but like in this election, they will continue to do nothing.This grand experiment in democracy is over and no one is coming to the rescue.

    Carrier Pigeons FTW.
