  1. Those that didn't respond? Put them on the watch list.

  2. Sigh on AT&T Service Outages Hit The Midwest Friday (wgntv.com) · · Score: 1

    You know the Midwest, that vast swathe of the United States EAST of the Mississippi.

    It's like the Louisiana Purchase never happened.

  3. Before he retired in November 2015, the former employee downloaded a large number of files onto two removable thumb drives...

    I guess some guys aren't content with just swiping Post-It notes. FFS.

  4. Guess what Elon has never seen on Tesla Unveils Residential 'Solar Roof' With Updated Battery Storage System (theverge.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    TENNIS BALL-SIZED HAIL EXPECTED. Take Cover Now (and not under a glass roof, you dingus).

  5. What a prick on Apple CEO Tim Cook: 'We're Going To Kill Cash' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    No, Tim... "The police state doesn't like proles carrying around untraceable cash." You tone-deaf elitist.

  6. And give you real-time updated images of the tumors they create.

  7. Come to think of it, we haven't seen Steve Miller lately...

  8. Fish rots from the head down on CIA-Backed Surveillance Tool 'Geofeedia' Was Marketed To Public Schools (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1
  9. The Patriots' (oh-so-fitting) electronic surveillance of the other teams communications interferes with the Surface tablets.

  10. So.... on CO2 To Ethanol In One Step With Cheap Catalyst (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    ...a complicated chemical reaction that essentially reverses the combustion process

    So combine this with the easier part (combustion) for an at least semi-closed system?

  11. Religion on Americans Work 25% More Than Europeans, Study Finds (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    This what's so destructive about religion (work yourself to death / blow yourself up, Protestants / Muslims, and we promise you paradise in the **next** life!!).

    And where is religion waning? Oh, look at that: the same place where work / life balance is far healthier: Western Europe.

  12. This:

    Also there's a big difference between what people say will do and what they will actually do.

    As Brexit showed us, Westerners have grown very comfortable (and now even enjoy in Durdenesque way) lying to pollsters.

    This is why the specter of Trump still worries me; he's not behind enough.

  13. More and more, on more and more issues that even tangentially impinge on White Male Privilege, Slashdot postings start to read like a thread on Stormfront.

  14. There's more than enough to be done that requires humans.

    Thus: Permanent War (TM) and the Surveillance State. Plus, rich people will always need prostitutes and security guards.

  15. The device, which records video only when the officer decides...

    Straight from the Henhouse Investigation Committee chaired by foxes.

  16. And nothing.

    "Dreadfully sorry, old chap. Won't happen again." (until after Article 50)

  17. Re:Value for money on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Sometimes you get the bonus of drunk or stoned concert goers and of course the numerous inconsiderate a-holes or thugs that too often seem to attend.

    This.

    My first concert in decades (and probably the last ever) was pretty nice except at the beginning because of the 50-something woman a row behind us who wanted everyone to get up and dance. At a Steely Dan concert.

  18. Re: Has Wikileaks jumped the shark? on 4Chan Hackers Claim To Have Remotely Wiped John Podesta's iPhone and iPad (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The New York Times will post anything that makes a Republican look bad.

    Like when they were at the vanguard of the Watergate scandal ohwait.

  19. Re:Can you turn autostart off on Chrome 54 Arrives With YouTube Flash Embed Rewriting To HTML5 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Can you turn autostart off?

    They're an advertising firm: what do you think?

  20. Why is THIS not a thing? Along with a ban on exit polls; 'with 2% of the vote in, we project...' is not democracy but rigging.

  21. Why shouldn't white hats now start crafting and sending kill bits to these cunts' tawdry wares? It could honestly be justified as self-defence.

  22. Wanna stand out, 'Nokia'? Make flip phones.

    If no else, Hollywood will buy them, as movie and TV directors cannot give up the dramatic closing of a flip phone.

  23. It's not the court's job to determine if the dispute was real or not.

    WHAT?

  24. "The NSA plug-ins are still acting up."

  25. Voting should start at 12:01 AM Friday and conclude at 12:00 PM Sunday. Frankly, the election weekend should be moved to September to avoid winter weather ever being a factor.

    The ballots should be paper, the counting should be by hand in public view, controlled by non-voting or third-party people as neither the Tastycrat nor Fingerlican machines can be trusted with this task.

    Lastly: NO EXIT POLLING nor predictions before the polls close, period. The role of the Fourth Estate is to inform, not fucking suppress turnout.
